Nothing ever shows in my "Watching" tab. I've tried toggling the watch (bell) button on & off for threads I'm trying to watch, but this doesn't help. The setting sticks per thread, meaning that if I start watching a thread and reload the page, the icon shows as filled. These threads just never show up in the "Watching" tab for me.
The only thread I saw mentioning this is from 2021 (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/681641). Starting a new thread since that was was marked as answered.

It has happenned for about a month, I don't remember exactly. It takes about 30 seconds to open any page. I looked into Chrome's network inspection and found it caused by an incorrect CSS link below. So every page load is waiting for this non-existent CSS file timeout before fully display.
Except this issue I can still use this forum normally so assuming it's not my network connection/location issue.
Can someone fix it?

I tried to post a reply to a thread. It seems to be posted, but does not appear in the thread once sent…
To solve a problem with my app I submitted a DTS ticket one week ago (13097367) but beside the automated response I received no feedback or help. The ticket is also not listed in the list of DTS tickets in my Developer Account dashboard. How can I check, if the ticket has been received correctly and is being processed?
Thanks!

I’m encountering an issue when trying to start a macOS VM using Apple’s Virtualization framework in a sandboxed environment.
When I create a standalone Xcode project, the VM launches successfully. However, when I integrate the same code into my existing project—where the VM is launched by a service started via launchd and running in a sandbox—it fails with the following error:
Internal Virtualization Error: Failed to issue USB HCI sandbox extension
To resolve this, I tried adding the com.apple.security.device.usb entitlement. But after doing that, the app started crashing with the following trace :

I suspect this might be due to the provisioning profile, which doesn’t seem to include the required entitlement. However, I haven’t found a way to explicitly add this entitlement to the provisioning profile.
My questions are:
How can I add com.apple.security.device.usb to the provisioning profile?
Is there a way to confirm that adding this entitlement would resolve the issue?
Are there recommended steps to debug and test Virtualization framework usage in a sandboxed environment (especially when launched as a service)?
I also tried disabling SIP and AMFI, but the crash still occurs. Is there a better way to work around or test this in development?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Issue solved. Retracting question.
Is this place just for customers of the "developer program" to help each other, or is there any apple employees here able to help, with privileged access?
Seems to me that not, but i prefer to ask anyway, it's not clear to me
Because if there are some employees here, can you please do your job

There seems to be some kind of problem with the forum software incorrectly redacting certain words.
It's even censoring Apple employees when they use the word "s i g n a l" in this post, which is now titled, "iOS Network ****** Strength"
So, no, Apple employees are not complaining about iOS Network strength.

Hello,
I notice the link on top of this site is incorrect: https://developer.apple.com/forums/tags/sign-in-with-apple-rest-api
Its target (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple/sign_in_with_apple_rest_api) does not exist.
It should probably be https://developer.apple.com/documentation/signinwithapplerestapi

It appears that on older posts the code blocks are completely broken. For example https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/678075 show the code block as a single inline value. Looking at the HTML this is what I see generated
<code class="hljs block shell language-shell">Code Block shell#!/bin/bashrm -rf output/rm -rf simulator_fat/mkdir simulator_fatlibs=( "lib_static" ) #Add for i in "${libs[@]}"do lipo -create arm64_simulator/$i.a x86_64/$i.a -output simulator_fat/$i.a xcodebuild -create-xcframework -library simulator_fat/$i.a -library arm64/$i.a -output output/$i.xcframeworkdone</code>
Obviously newer code blocks seem to be working (as long as the one above is) but it wreaks havoc trying to look at older posts.

This is supposed to be a photo of a screen shot I took of this site and this box saying there is no text it is empty when I tried to post my previous post And the box was not empty and the character counter was backwards it was in the negative -. Was -6870/7000 characters. The original post was for a force reset analytic that I found suspicious and malicious towards my device and apple.
will not let me post the image

I've tried several times to post a reply to a message, but I got an error message instead, telling me to try again in a few minutes. I just found out that it did post my replies, without telling me. So now there's many duplicates of the same reply, one for each of my attempts.
I'm using Firefox 144.0.2 (aarch64) on macOS 26.1 (25B78).
It would be helpful to be able to upload short videos to the Developer Forums.

I´m tring to integrate InApp push provisioning but when I send the information from the issuer to SDK to add my debit card to wallet I saw this error: PKPassKitErrorDomain Code 2 error
Looking in the forum I found how to see part of the logs to get more detail on the error and I found:

What is really surprising is to read App Store Connect Engineer answer, each time the same:
We appreciate your interest in participating in the forums! These forums are for questions about developing software and accessories for Apple platforms. Your question seems related to a consumer feature and is better suited for the Apple Support Communities
Is it an automatic answer (I cannot believe anyone who read the post did not notice it was a spam) ? If so, couldn't it simply detect it is a spam (Apple Intelligence could come to help) and delete the message (or the account) ?
PS: it would also be a spam in Apple Support Communities
PS2: I note the message has been deleted very rapidly.
Every time I visit these forums, a banner is displayed at the top asking me to opt-in to notifications. I click "opt-in," the banner disappears, and no notifications are sent.
If I visit my forum profile, it says my browser isn't allowing notifications:
If I look in Settings->Websites, in the list of "These websites have asked for permission to show alerts in Notification Center," there are no apple.com websites whatsoever, including developer.apple.com. "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" is checked, and I have many other websites in that list.
I consider this to be a bug in Safari, but maybe it’s an issue with the forum itself (although I doubt it). I've submitted a Radar for it, but haven't heard anything back (I never do).
EDIT: I realize I should've put this in another category, but it won't let me change that now.

Anyone else seeing this? I'm sometimes getting "too many redirects" errors from Safari when trying to view this forum:
It goes away after a while, randomly.
Also: this is hard to debug; the Network tab in the Safari Javascript Console only shows the final load of the error page, not the failure. Is there a way to see the actual redirect loop URLs?

Until recently, it was possible to view the profiles of every user who posted in the forums. The profile page would then have links to posts/replies and other pages so that one could "follow" the recent comments by those users.
However, it appears that it no longer is possible to view a profile of individual "DTS Engineer". What I mean is I can no longer view their profile page and as a result the recent posts/replies that a specific "DTS Engineer" makes.
It's especially a loss because posts made by such engineers are very helpful and valuable and not being able to easily follow such posts on a single page makes the forum software less useful.
Is there a way the previous feature can be brought back?
Thanks for your engagement, participation, and contributions to the Apple Developer Community!
