Unfair Treatment of Developers
On October 25, 2024, our company's Apple developer account (***@.com) received an email stating that "the developer account was associated and required a written declaration within 30 days." We provided the requested document as instructed and received a reply on November 2, indicating that the account had been restored to normal use. However, confusingly, we received the same email again on November 23, with the content still being "the developer account is associated and requires a written document to be submitted within 30 days." The amusing outcome emerged as follows: The response from Apple's review committee essentially meant that "the improvements described in the document were insufficient to address the issues previously identified," leading to a 30-day suspension of the account. Is this really the attitude of Apple employees? There is evidence that the "written document" was stored in Google Drive, which has functionalities such as usage statistics, view counts, download counts, etc. Apple's reviewer, without viewing or downloading the written document, directly replied with a template email claiming that "the improvements described in the file are insufficient to solve the previous issues." Can this really be considered professionalism when the reviewer states that the issue remains unresolved without even examining the document? As developers, what specific steps did our company take to prevent the account from being associated again? Please take the trouble to open the following URL to download the written declaration document, which contains the specific steps: URL Our Apple ID is :*********, and under this account, there is only one app. Since its launch, we have released multiple updates and invested significant funds into Apple ADS promotion. The user base in China's Android market has exceeded one million; now due to the account suspension issue, the app has been taken down again, severely impacting our business. Isn't this unfair treatment of developers? We appreciate the help provided by the Apple customer service team and sincerely hope for the swift restoration of our account's usage rights.

Unable to Register Apple Developer Account After 48 Hours – Order Number LPK7A8286X
Hello everyone, I’m having trouble registering for an Apple Developer account. I’ve already added my credit card and completed all the required payment steps, but it’s been more than 48 hours and my account still hasn’t been activated. Order Number LPK7A8286X Waiting Period Over 48 hours since the payment I’ve double-checked my credit card and payment details, and everything seems valid. However, I haven’t received any confirmation or notification from Apple yet. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue and found a quick solution? I really need to get started on my project soon. I’d greatly appreciate any advice on how to expedite the process or how best to contact Apple Support.

The local player is not authenticated. Please log the local player in to Game Center.
I'm receiving this error when attempting to log into my game and authenticating via Firebase and Game Center. I am using Unity to develop my game and have been able to successfully authenticate with Google Play and Apple Sign In but Game Center is giving some trouble. The error seems easy enough except I have triple checked that I am signed in to Game Center with the profile that is set up in Sandbox Testing. Other things I have verified: I have a provisioning profile and game center is on it. In xCode I have Game Center on my signing capabilities, entitlements, and have the GameKit.framework in my Link Binary with Libraries. Any ideas as to what may be causing this error to throw? Maybe another step I missed somewhere?

Delays in deciding on entitlement approval?
I requested an entitlement 2 weeks ago, and sent a support email 1 week ago. My developer account already had this entitlement, but I transferred the app (which was approved in the app store) to an organization I made it for. I haven't heard anything from Apple in two weeks, including NO RESPONSE to my email asking when I would hear back. Is this common? I'll call them on Monday but damn I delivered this product to the organization many weeks ago and now Apple is holding me up now with no indication of how much longer.

Developer Program Enrollment Payment debited but no account yet
I recently made the enrollment for developer program and make the payment on Apple developer website. I saw the payment amount is debited from my account. But the developer program is not approved. When I contacted the developer support, they said Apple did not receive the money and you have to enroll again. So, I asked my Bank to make sure the payment is processed or not. The bank said it is already processed and they even sent me reference number and approval number. Even I sent the screenshot of those information, but the support guy keeps saying they did not receive it but without any helpful information to troubleshoot the issue at all. I am really amazed a company such as Apple has such terrible customer support. Now, I have to request payment dispute to my bank about it. If I do not get my money back, I will tag Apple CEO on x.com and post about it every day with a schedular script.

How do I set hardware speed in my Ethernet driver?
PLATFORM AND VERSION iOS Development environment: Xcode 15.4, macOS Sonoma 14.5 Run-time configuration: macOS Sonoma 14.5 DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM Hi, I'm on DriverKit 21.0. I'm looking for a system call (that isn't deprecated) in my driver to set the Ethernet link speed manually. Normally a user would set it by System Settings... -> Network -> -> Details -> Hardware -> Configure (Manually), and then Speed (choose the link speed). With my driver, when I configure for manual, no link speeds show up. I want to know how to populate the speeds (1000BaseT, etc.) so a user can select one. What system APIs are used for this? I can't find much detail in the documentation. I do see Instance Methods for some related things like getSupportedMediaArray, but most of these newer methods don't have details in the documentation to guide me on what they actually do. Thanks in advance...

Is it OK to encapsulate xcframeworkA into xcframeworkB (encapsulation of xcframework only)?
We are considering the development of a new service, We would like to ask for detailed information on the feasibility of the following. Is it possible to encapsulate only xcframework, such as encapsulating xcframeworkA into xcframeworkB? If the above is possible, will the application incorporating the xcframework in the above state pass the review of apple?

Usage of a third party (stripe) to charge subscription on my app
if my app was made to manage a physical device (an intercom) and offer services to family groups and individuals. In order for them to use the app they'll need a subscription. My question is, Can I use the third party vendor (Stripe) to charge my user or will it have to be with the in app purchase (IAP) one? if it has to be through IAP will I have to pay the 30% fee per transaction?
