Our game was written by Cocos Creator version 3.8.5 ‌TypeScript, which took the team nearly 2 years to complete. At the beginning, my application was not defined as 4.3a. The first four reviews were all normal feedback questions. We revised the questions. After the last review rejected 4.3A, we also suspected that the reasons such as game creativity, game copywriting and game art might be close to other applications. Then our team added functional innovations that other applications in the Apple Store didn't have, and the original art was original. We created new art again because of 4.3a, and also revised many places that may be similar to other developers, including that we removed all SDK modules except Apple Pay and Apple Login, and it also showed that 4.3a refused, and we have revised no less than 20 versions or failed. Our business code except the game engine code is newly developed by us and should not be duplicated with other developers' code. Is it because the JSC file and binary file output by JavaScript code are similar to those of other developers? Can we check our original code? We really want to put it on the Apple Store. We guarantee that the game was originally written. We can provide any proof, including but not limited to (GIT code submission records and codes from the beginning to today, art original proof, proof that the game mode innovation ability is not consistent with other developers' concepts, etc.) Cocos creator Engine Address: https://www.cocos.com/creator-download We have been put on the shelves in app stores such as WeChat applet and Android, and we are deeply loved by users in other channels. Dear audit, can you manually check our game code and look at the game to experience it? I believe that as the greatest technology company in the world, Apple's official staff are very professional, knowledgeable and innovative, so that Apple players can get a unique and high-quality experience. However, this repeated 4.3a refusal makes me very suspicious. So many games that use cocos game engine in the world are on the Apple store, why do we independently write the rest of the code except the game engine? Every time the reason for refusing is this passage, we have revised it for half a year, and no less than 20 game versions have been changed in half a year.

Since many users like me use Apple Music on Android, the app is almost as feature-rich as iOS. It would be fantastic if the developers could add the new iOS 26 features to the Android app, along with a minor UI change. I know it’s challenging to implement liquid glass on Android hardware or design, but features like auto-mix, pronunciation, and translation could be added. kindly consider this request !!!!

Again and and again, I reach the point in a new application where I need to make structural changes in components and my data model, and the SwiftUI compiler fails to compile and just reports "I'm lost in the weeds", with no indication of what it was last working on, aside from a particular level in a multi-layered nested UI. This typically happens when a sub-views construction is not coded correctly because I changed that view and am looking for what broke, by just letting the compiler tell me what is not compatible. This is how refactoring has been done for ages and it's just amazingly frustrating that Apple engineers don't seem to understand nor care about this issue enough to fix it. Why does this problem persist through version after version of SwiftUI? Is no-one actually using it for anything?

When using UIPageViewController inside a UITabBarController on iOS 26 with Liquid Glass adoption, visiting the PageViewController tab applies a blur effect to the navigation bar and tab bar even though the current child view controller of the pageView is not scrollable and does not reach behind these bars. Questions: Is this the expected behavior that the pageview's internal scroll view causes the bars to blur regardless of the page view's child content’s scrollability? If so, is there an official way to make the blur effect appear only when the pageview's current child view controller actually scrolls behind the navigation bar or tab bar, and not in static cases? Tried the same in SwiftUI using TabView and TabView with page style. Facing the same issue there as well. Sample screenshots for reference, Sample SwiftUI code, struct TabContentView: View { var body: some View { TabView { // First Tab: Paging View PagingView() .tabItem { Label("Pages", systemImage: "square.fill.on.square.fill") } // Second Tab: Normal View NavigationStack { ListView() } .tabItem { Label("Second", systemImage: "star.fill") } // Third Tab: Normal View PageView(color: .blue, text: "Page 3") .tabItem { Label("Third", systemImage: "gearshape.fill") } } .ignoresSafeArea() } } struct PagingView: View { var body: some View { TabView { PageView(color: .red, text: "Page 1") PageView(color: .green, text: "Page 2") PageView(color: .blue, text: "Page 3") } .tabViewStyle(.page) // Enables swipe paging .indexViewStyle(.page(backgroundDisplayMode: .always)) .ignoresSafeArea()// Dots indicator } }

I've observed a difference in the layout of menu items within ContextMenu and Menu when comparing system applications to my own SwiftUI app, specifically concerning the order of icons and titles. On iOS 26, system apps (as shown in the image in the "System App" column) appear to display the item's icon before its title for certain menu items. However, in my SwiftUI app, when I use a Label (e.g. Label("Paste", systemImage: "doc.on.clipboard")) or an HStack containing an Image and Text, the icon consistently appears after the title within both ContextMenu and Menu items. I'm aiming to achieve the "icon first, then title" layout as seen in system apps. My attempts to arrange this order using HStack directly within the Button's label closure: Menu { Button { /* ... */ } label: { HStack { Image(systemName: "doc.on.clipboard") Text(String(localized: "Paste")) } } // ... } label: { Text("タップミー") } seem to be overridden or restricted by the OS, which forces the icon to the leading position (as shown in the image in the "Custom App" column). System App Custom App Is there a specific SwiftUI modifier, or any other setting I might have overlooked that allows developers to control the icon/title order within ContextMenu or Menu items to match the system's behavior? Or is this a system-controlled layout that app developers currently cannot customize, and we need to wait for potential changes from Apple to expose this capability for in-app menus? Thanks in advance!

My apple app rejected on 9 of July 2025 but I didn't recieve any confirmation on mail can you please provide any written confirmation why my mail is not approved with all possibe conditions.

Hello! I’m excited to see that Look to Scroll has been included in visionOS 26 Beta. I’m aiming to achieve a feature where the user’s gaze at a specific edge automatically scrolls to that position. However, I’ve experimented with ScrollView and haven’t been able to trigger this functionality. Could you advise if additional API modifiers are necessary? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m testing our SwiftUI app on both Xcode simulator and a real iPhone. On the simulator, everything looks clean and aligned. But when I run it on an actual iPhone (same build, iOS 18), the layout looks broken—fonts overlap, spacing is off, and elements are misaligned. Both screenshots are from the exact same screen and time. First is simulator, second is iPhone. Any idea why this difference happens? Is there something I should check in terms of rendering or layout settings? Thanks in advance!

iOS 26 Beta 3 finally introduced an API for the clear variant of Liquid Glass. But is there any way to switch system controls like the NavigationController back button or UIBarButtonItems to clear? They do not accept an effect like UIEffectView, and they do not have a configuration property like UIButton.

SwiftUI.List allows for customization using .listItemTint, .tint, or .foregroundStyle. This can be used to color individual items in the list, other than the app's specified accent color. Is there an equivalent feature to customize individual Tab's icon or label, when using TabView's SidebarAdaptableTabViewStyle, and its in the sidebar style. From what I understand, there needs to be a modifier applied directly to Tab unlike List, and not just the label. Since there isn't any color/tint modifiers, is it not possible?

UIBarButtonItem setting isEnabled = false, but the item is still tappable and animating. Is this a new UI behavior or an issue? Do the following steps: On tapping on a UIBarButtonItem, disable by setting isEnabled = false and setting hidesSharedBackground = true Enable the button by setting isEnabled = true and setting hidesSharedBackground = false => The button appears with bigger shared background is this an issue? please find the attachments for more details.

So, I started with the developer beta on Tahoe a couple months ago. I gave the new Apps.app a fair shot.... I HATE it. Finally used a terminal work around to get Launchpad back up and running. Now with the release of the Public Beta and Developer Beta 5, Apple has nerfed the Launchpad.app altogether. Apple, listen to your customers. Yes some people really love spotlight but not everyone wants to scroll through a list of apps as long as my leg because, my PTSD brain won't let me remember the name of the app to type into spotlight. The Launchpad app had a great visual reference for those of us with poor memory function. Bring it back, and let your customers choose which one they want to use.

After updating from iOS 18 to iOS 26, our app icon appears to have automatically received the new 'Liquid Glass' effect. We confirmed that this change occurred without us releasing a new app update. My questions are: Is this a system behavior where iOS 26 automatically applies the new icon style to existing apps? If so, is it possible for a developer to control or customize this effect? I am also wondering if there are any methods other than using Icon Composer.

Hi guys, Is there any good up-to-date tutorial about publishing a Python based app on Apple Store? Now, I have developed a standalone Python app from PyCharm, and it's using Pyside6 for UI and some major Python libraries. It's a productivity app with a little A.I. features. I used PyInstaller to prepare the app. Currently, I am stuck at the stage of codesign and Apple Review process, because I am manually doing codesign and building the package from command-line. Without using Xcode, things can get messy or miss easily. It would be nice to follow a up-to-date tutorial about how to complete the codesign and Apple Review process for a Python based app. For example, what to do, how to do, what to be careful during the Apple Review process, etc. Thanks!

Hi, This can't be right. Is there really no replacement for Quartz Debug?!? As the sole developer on a project who has an Intel Mac and Quartz Debug, I am basically a god now. Everyone else has Apple Silicon and... I think they're randomly guessing at this point. Because I have entire teams sending me Intel Mac builds of stuff just so I can test it in QD. This is THE TOOL we used at NewTek to find performance issues, and THE TOOL I used for a dozen companies after that, to help them with similar issues. If there's no replacement, is there a reason there's no replacement? This feels like a massive step backwards, having to guess at problems like this. -Chilton

Just posted this feedback regarding macOS 26 "Tahoe" (FB19853155) - please support with additional submissions if you share my view. I will miss the beautiful and individual designed icons of the past! "macOS 26 is enforcing squicles for app icons, falling back to a grey background for 3rd party apps without a compliant AppIcon asset. As a result many original app icons are reduced in size and hard to distinguish because they share the same background color. Although I respect Apple's strive for an iOS-like UI on Macs, a smooth transition path would be more user- and developer-friendly ... e.g. with some info.plist property to opt-out icon migration, potentially ignored by a future macOS version. The current solution causes a bad usability, and makes the system look inconsistent as many - especially free - software will not be updated with new icon designs. Please reconsider this bad design decision!"

I'm working on updating our iOS app for the latest Xcode version and noticed the new UIDesignRequiresCompatibility key requirement in Info.plist for apps targeting older iOS designs (without liquid glass). Is there an official timeline for when this compatibility key will be deprecated/removed so that we can plan our liquid glass design changes?

With iOS 26 the CPListSection header has a transparent background, and when the list scrolls under the header it doesn't look good at all. We expected to see a glass fading effect maybe, like the one on the top of the screen. Is it a known bug?

Code that disables a tab bar item via UITabBarItem.isEnabled = false used to both grey out the item and block taps on iOS 18. On iOS 26, the item often remains tappable and selectable, even though isEnabled is set to false. This looks like a behavior change or regression. func disableTabbarItems(tabbar: UITabBarController, isEnable: Bool, index: Int) { if let tabItems = tabbar.tabBar.items, index < tabItems.count { let tabItem = tabItems[index] tabItem.isEnabled = isEnable } } iOS 18 iOS 26

create a sample XCode project using Objective-C and stroybook (xib) using latest XCode beta open MainMenu.xib, and select Main Menu → File → Print... remove the image like below 4. build it 5. run it on macOS 26 beta 7 6. The menu item "print.." still have "Image" Is there any way to remove image for one menu item. I have also tried NSMenuItem.image = nil, but still not work. The issue I met on my own app is that I cannot remove icons for "Zoom In", "Zoom Out" and many other menu items, which makes the menu items not aligned properly.
