"Metal developer tools for Windows" may sometimes freeze when running multiple instances simultaneously.
We executed the iOS package using UE5.5 on Windows. UE automatically launched the "Metal Developer Tools for Windows". I tried two versions, 5.3 and 4.4. I found that the metal.exe sometimes had no response or output was empty. The problem of no response could be alleviated by adding timeout retries, but the problem of empty output seemed to have no effect with retries. The actual command line called was: metal.exe -v --target=air64-apple-darwin18.7.0. UE relies on this output to determine the version number, and if it cannot get it, it will crash directly. During our replication test, we used a Python script to run multiple concurrent executions of the command "metal.exe -v --target=air64-apple-darwin18.7.0". On different Windows machines, it would get stuck at a certain concurrency level. Some machines even got stuck when running two tasks concurrently. We would like to ask for solutions or available versions.

Unable to renew the Apple Developer membership.
Hello. I have already completed the renewal payment on Aug. 8 and the payment is currently in good standing. Please review my situation below: My app has been taken down due to membership expiration. I already renewed on Aug. 8, and the payment went through without issues. I cannot renew. Even when accessing with the owner account, the membership button does not appear — only four buttons (Tools and Resources, Profile, Emails, Agreements) are visible. If I press “Enroll today” as the only option, it moves to a screen saying “Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership.” and I cannot enroll. Thank you.

Apple Enrollment / Please Help
Can someone please assist or advise on the next steps? I recently applied for enrollment via the Apple Developer website and was approved. After making payment, I received an email from Apple Developer Support advising me to re-enroll using the Apple Developer app due to a card processing issue. They mentioned our application would be "fast-tracked" if submitted through the app. However, since re-enrolling via the app, I haven’t received any updates from support. Whenever I request feedback, the only response I get is, "It’s still under review." It has now been almost two weeks, and our launch date is fast approaching. We’ve already submitted all the required information, but support has not been helpful despite multiple follow-ups.

Question Regarding Obtaining the MDM Vendor CSR Signing Certificate
Hi, I have a question about obtaining the MDM Vendor CSR Signing Certificate. Is it possible to obtain this certificate with an Apple Developer Program account? From the official documentation below, it seems like it might be possible: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/certificates/mdm-vendor-csr-signing-certificate/ However, I have also seen past forum posts stating that it is only available through the Apple Developer Enterprise Program: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/671716 If anyone has detailed knowledge about this, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Relinquishing Android
I have to admit, I resisted Apple until about one year ago! I was die hard android. The main reason for the switch was the T-Mobile mobile SMS relay the deposit of the message and the timing of some SMS messages were very suspect. The relay number would keep automatically coming back. I searched been verified and never have I seen more than 10 comments about a person or a number, this was over 100!! now let me get to my point. I was hoping someone could give me a redemption code for the Copilot so I can look into my OneDrive and see how it increases security with Apple OS. I was told on some occasions that the “wheel“ user was necessary for Apple to function however it is a unix system that needs the wheel function. I don’t think Apple iOS needs the “wheel” user so I was wanting to download that Copilot for better results. thank you for any help I receive.

Charged for Renewals Despite Being Under Review for 13 Months
Hello everyone. I'm hoping to get some guidance on a unique and difficult situation we've been facing for over a year. Our app was approved and had been live on the App Store for some time. However, 13 months ago, our developer account enrollment was revoked. Since then, our app has remained live on the App Store, but we've been unable to make any updates, fix bugs, or respond to user feedback. We've been trying to resolve this with Apple for over a year, sending countless emails and making numerous phone calls, but we've had no luck getting through to anyone who can help. To make matters even more confusing, we were recently charged for our annual developer program renewal, despite being unable to use the service. This renewal charge has left us in an unclear position. We were starting to lose hope that this issue could ever be resolved, but this recent charge has made us wonder if there's still a chance. We are seeking advice on whether we should continue to hold out hope or if this is a sign we should move on. If anyone has experience with a similar issue or knows of an effective way to escalate this matter to the right people at Apple, your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and any help you can offer.

Which field in the data returned by Weatherkit interface displays the user's weather description? The official only provides that ConditionCode is an enumerated weather type
I found that only ConditionCode in the current Weather is a field related to weather description, but it is just an enumeration of weather predictions. I want to present different weather descriptions to users in different languages.What should I display to the user based on?

Stuck in Manual ID Review for Apple Developer Program (39 Days and Counting)
Hi everyone, I tried to enroll in the Apple Developer Program nearly two months ago. Initially, I had issues using both the website and the Developer app on Mac/iPhone to complete the process. After contacting Apple Developer Support, I was told that they don't accept EU residence permits through the automatic system, only national ID cards or a driver’s license, which I don’t have, as a few years ago I relocated from a 3rd world non-EU country. But they said this can be reviewed manually. Eventually, Apple Support provided me with a link to upload my passport and residence permit photos. I submitted them right away, but it’s now been 39 days with no progress. I followed up multiple times.. after 10 days, 3 weeks, and again just recently, and each time I’m told my documents are still under review, with no ETA or further details. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is there anything else I can do to move this forward, or is it just a matter of waiting indefinitely? Thanks in advance for any advice or insight.

Getting invalid_client error when using Sign in with Apple (Web) via Firebase
I'm currently facing an issue while integrating Sign in with Apple on a Firebase web app using JavaScript. ✅ What I’ve done: Created a Service ID Created an App ID and enabled Sign in with Apple Linked the Service ID to the App ID under Web Authentication Configuration and also add these Domains and sub-domains: apple-signin-test-next.firebaseapp.com Registered return URL: https://apple-signin-test-next.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/handler Generated a key with Sign in with Apple capability and added: Key ID Team ID Private Key Client ID (Service ID not App ID) all in the Firebase Auth Apple Sign-In configuration I’ve tried multiple test projects and keys, including deleting and recreating everything, but I still consistently receive this error: invalid_client 🔎 Additional Details: The client_id in the auth request matches the Service ID exactly I’m not using an iOS app — this is purely web-based Sign in with Apple I am using a valid Apple Developer account enrolled in the program What could be the reason Apple keeps returning invalid_client even though all configuration seems correct? Please help us to resolve the issue. We are ready to connect for a call too. Thanks

What is the process or approvals I need to list RMG (Real Money Gaming) Rummy App from India on Appstore?
Hi everyone, I’m looking for guidance on the proper procedure and requirements to list a Real Money Gaming (RMG) app—specifically a Rummy app—on the Apple App Store for Indian users. From my understanding of the App Store Review Guidelines, apps involving real-money gaming must comply with specific rules around licensing, geo-restriction, and payment handling. However, I’d appreciate clarification on the following points: 1. Licensing Requirements: • What type of license or legal documentation is required for listing an RMG app in India? • Does Apple require proof of approval from Indian gaming authorities? 2. Geo-restrictions: • If certain Indian states do not permit real-money Rummy, how should those states be restricted within the app? • Does Apple mandate geo-fencing at the app level? 3. App Submission Process: • Are there any additional review steps or submission categories specific to real-money gaming? • Is it necessary to flag the app under a special category during submission? 4. Payment Handling: • Since Apple doesn’t allow in-app purchases for gambling, what’s the approved method of integrating external wallets or payment gateways? If anyone has successfully listed an RMG app from India or has experience navigating this process, your insights would be really helpful. Also, if there are any Apple contacts or official checklists for this category, please share those resources. Thanks in advance!

Repeated Failure to Enroll in Apple Developer Program – No Reason Provided
Hello, I’ve attempted multiple times to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but the enrollment consistently fails. Despite reaching out to Apple Support through several emails, I have never received a clear explanation or log details on why the enrollment was not successful. I even requested that my client (with a foreign account) attempt the payment on my behalf, yet the application was still rejected. This suggests the issue is not simply related to payment method or regional restrictions. At this point, I would appreciate clear feedback or error details explaining why the enrollment fails so I can resolve the issue. For reference, here is the Purchase ID issued to me during the attempted enrollment: DWHQ8WFZJH I kindly ask Apple Support or community members with similar experience to assist in resolving this matter.

invalid_request - Invalid web redirect url.
Hi, I have setup Apple SignIn on a platform i am developing and configure all the required Service IDs and redirect URLs. The integration worked up until I moved the platform to a new domain name last friday. I have reconfigured the list of allowed domains and redirect urls to the new domain name, and removed all the mentions of the former one. Since then, when trying to Sign In with Apple, I am greated with the following error : " invalid_request - Invalid web redirect url". I have also observed that if i manually change the domain name in the redirect_uri parameter but keep the rest of the OAuth URL identical, the error disappears. This should not be possible since the former domain name has been completely removed from the Service ID configuration. Is there a propagation time for this ? And if so, it seems very long (5 days and pending). I have checked and rechecked and tripled checked my configuration, every time by going in my dev account > Identifiers > Service IDs > Sign In with Apple > Configure, then clicking Done > Continue > Save. I can confirm that : the redirect domains and URLs there are correct, and no mention of the former domain name is present I can still login using the former domain redirect urls (so my implementation is valid, but the configuration is not up to date) the new redirect urls are still not working as of now https is included in the redirect_urls, no trailing slash is present. again, the same URLs but with a different domain name were configured and worked (if anything, still work) properly TLS 1.3 connection (i know 1.2 is a requirement) Any advice would be welcome
