Hello All, I used to own an app named LOLIIPOP, and am in the process of transferring it to my new apple account. I am having two problems.... How do I transfer the source code and binary to my new apple account? My developers have an old code, so I need to send them the LAST code they uploaded to the App Store. How do I do that as well??? Please any help!!! Thanks, Mr. LM

Hi, I have logged into an iCloud account on an iOS device simulator on my Mac to sync photos in order to test my app. The photos app is telling me syncing is paused as the device is in low power mode, but as this is a simulator, there's no network seatings to change this and I can't find out why it's in this mode or how to get it out. I've done exactly the same thing for years with no issues, but for some reason it's happening now. Has anyone else experienced the same? The simulator device is an iPhone 13 Pro Max running 15.5 however I've tested on other device and experienced the same issue. Many thanks, Dan

Hey All, Just ready to update my app to the AppStore for the first time. I need some help. When I Archive my app to distribute, it shows that there is warnings that ‘the archive did not include a dSYM for firebase.analytics etc. I’ve tried almost everything please help!

Hello, Is there a way to retrieve the dark mode and the tinted app icons using personal iOS device, or alternatively through an available API? I wasn't able to find anything online or on the existing form posts. I tried using: xcrun devicectl device info appIcon But this command only returns a light mode icon for an app and I didn't see any options/flags for dark mode or tinted icons Software Version info: XCode - 16 MacOS 15.1 Beta (24B5070a) devicectl - 397.21 xcrun - version 70, platform version 15.0 Let me know if any other info would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello, I have just downloaded IOS Developer Beta 18.2 but I can't see "Enable Developer Mode" in the "Privacy & Security". How Can I enable that? I don't use MAC. Thanks.

Background: We are developing an App for both Windows, Android and iOS. Our process is that virtually every pull request must be tested by a tester before being pushed to the main branch. Up until now, we have been distributing the 3 versions to our testers via Microsoft AppCenter. Unfortunately, AppCenter is stopping per 31 March 2025 and we are looking for an alternative method. As the Play Store isn't really useful for us for distributing android apps (a test build can take a few hours before appearing according to their documentation), we may have to look into setting up our own distribution website for our apps. As such I was wondering, rather then using Test Flight for iOS, to also distribute the iOS app via our own website to our testers as it would be easier for our testers to have everything together. Even though our apps are build and signed using an "ad hoc" provisioning profile, it's still not possible to just install the .IPA files just by downloading it. The actual question: So my question is, how can I install our app to our testers from a website. Do I have to set the link as something specific? Or has AppCenter been using a trick not available to us mere mortals? To clarify: I am only asking for distributing to our testers using the ad hoc provisioning profile with the test devices registers at apple. I am NOT asking for distribution to end users, that goes via the App Store as usual.

I'm making an app using SwiftUI and trying to use the TextEditor view. However when I run it, and I try entering text into the TextEditor, the characters don't appear, they do however appear in the terminal that i used to run the app. The same problem exists with the TextField view. I usually run it using swift run but have also tried swift build and running the produced executable as well as using release mode. Minimal example: import SwiftUI @main struct Example: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { @State var text: String = "" var body: some View { TextEditor(text: $text) } }

hey I accidentally deleted my info.plist with holds my app version and other critical things and I don't know how to get it back or how to recode it

Hi. I have an iPad 7th gen running iPadOS 14.8.1. For testing purposes, I want to upgrade it to the latest release of iPadOS 17, even though the device wants me to upgrade to iPadOS 18.5. Is there a way to upgrade it to iPadOS 17? btw this would free-up a newer iPad running iPadOS 17 so I can install iPadOS 26 beta. Thank you.

I've got a bunch of AudioUnit projects approaching release, and am attempting to build an installer for them. All are based on the AudioUnit template in Xcode 14. What actually governs how the system detects an AudioUnit? The instructions I have seen say that the built .appex should be renamed to have the extension .component and installed into /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ - great, I am able to build a signed installer that does that (i.e. strip out the built Application project that is part of the AudioUnit template but useless to, say, a Logic Pro user), include the .appex that declares the plugin and embeds a Framework that contains the actual code (so it can be loaded in-process). auval -l does not show it after running the installer, nor does Console show anything logged suggesting that it was found but malformed or something like that. Meanwhile, simply building the project causes auval -l to show an install of it in the build directory, and I have noticed that if I delete that, auval -l would still show the plugin installed, but now in the location I exported an archive of the project (!!). What black magic is this? However, deleting both the recent build and the archive, after running the installer, and there is no indication that AudioComponentRegistry even sees the copy of it in one of the two locations actually documented to be valid install locations for an AudioUnit. I have, however, installed one third-party free AUv3 which installed into /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ Am I misunderstanding something about how this works? Is there some string other than AudioComponentRegistry I should filter on in Console that might provide a clue why my AudioUnit installed there is not picked up? Must I ship the semi-pointless Application that is part of the Xcode template project, and whatever magical mechanism detects it when I build will work its magic on end-users' machines? Or could the problem be that the Framework with the actual code under Contents/Frameworks inside the audio unit, rather than installed independently into /Library/Frameworks?

I just turned it on by accident and I can’t turn it off… I’m using IOS 26 rn and I can’t go back and I can’t disable the developer mode, I’m not a developer so yeah

I would like to inquire about a concern related to the app review process. Specifically, I would like to understand if forcefully denying an application's execution on the iOS Simulator (for instance, by implementing a check in the code that prevents the app from running in a simulated environment) could negatively impact or delay the app’s approval during the App Store review process. This measure is intended solely for security and integrity reasons during development and distribution. The app functions normally on real devices, and all other guidelines and requirements outlined by Apple are being strictly followed. Could you please confirm whether such a restriction on the Simulator is acceptable, and if there are any best practices or recommendations from Apple regarding this? Thank you for your support, and I look forward to your guidance.

I’m using iOS 26 right now, can’t go back to iOS 18 cuz I did not backup and my phone is so laggy right now i cant even turn off developer mode help me please

I am new. I have never used Swift nor XCode or the CLI. But I have found and managed to test my App that I created for testing on my iPhone. I have absolutely no intentions to put it on the App Store. I even made it Open-Source on GitHub. I learned a lot of things and ways to prevent crashes, but unfortunately I am slowly starting to lose the ability to put my App on my iOS. I am new here as a developer. But I have troubles to create a Developer Account, so I am not sure what I should do. Here's what I think I am having issues with: I feel like you can only create a Developer Account if you have a business, is this true? I really find it cool to test my own App on my own phone. But I want to do it in an official way. But I don't know how. Others have told me that you'd need a License for the App Store. But I am not trying to put it on the App Store, will this make it impossible for me to test my own app? Why make an app if not putting it on the App Store? You can learn. If you make good Apps or Libraries, you can provide them to other Developers! Maybe even an opportunity to collab with someone and even indeed put it on the App Store with a valid Developer Account. Seriously, if I wouldn't have been able to test my iOS app through other ways on my iPhone, I'd have never been able to make a short breakdown about AVAudioEngine and AVAudioSession. I've seen people that have run into these crashes. I tried to look up for a fix, but found none. I saw apps that allowed you to use a Microphone on a Laptop/PC and I decided to make my own one to test, and succeded, while I yet need to figure out a few crashes, I managed to do it, and I really want to continue and actually use my own App... So I was really happy that I could make a post to provide a guide in hopes that it would help someone. And I would do more, but I really need help with figuring out how I can test my own app on my own phone. I hope that Developer Relations can help with this.

Every now and then I get this very frustrating message on Feedback Assistant. For instance, in FB14696726 I reported an issue with the App Store Connect API. 4 weeks later, I got a reply, asking among other things for a „correlation key and Charles log“. I immediately replied saying that I didn‘t know what those are, and they replied After reviewing your feedback, it is unclear what the exact issue is. I pointed out that I had asked a question which was left unanswered, and they replied explaining what the correlation key is. Then I asked again what the Charles log is. They replied The Apple Developer website provides access to a range of videos covering various topics on using and developing with Apple technologies. You can find these videos on our Development Videos page: http://developer.apple.com/videos. I opened the link and searched for „Charles“ but there were no results, so I asked to kindly point me to the video answering my question. They replied 3 months later (today): Following up on our last message, we believe this issue is either resolved or not reproducible with the information provided and will now consider this report closed internally. This Feedback will no longer be monitored, and incoming messages will not be reviewed. This is not the first time I ask for clarification and get back a message basically telling me that „we won‘t answer any questions you may have and won‘t hear anything you still may have to say about this issue“. They didn‘t even ask me to verify if the issue is resolved or not, like they sometimes do. No, they just shut the door in my face. I just wanted to share this frustrating experience. Perhaps an Apple engineer wants to say something about it or a developer has had a similar experience?

I test my app, by building it and hoping it will go on my iOS. This is the only workflow I have to test my testing app. I use AVAudioEngine and AVAudioSession. It sounds painful but, yes. I literally comment out parts and build the app everytime and see if it would crash or not. Sometimes I'd get Crash Logs in the Analytics part, but I haven't managed to get them there anymore. So I had no more Crash Logs. I was wondering if there's a function or something. Maybe something that I can do in AppDelegate to make it create a Crash Log somewhere? Uncaught Exception overwrite, didn't solve the issue for me. It really has to be an actual crash log, something that catches these. If someone knows, let me know! Thanks

For my app Find Any File, of which both releases and TestFlight betas were released many times, the TestFlight page tells me that several users have submitted crash reports. And I'm sure the same is true for the MAS releases: (Yes, this shows quite recent ones, but I've seen similar supposed crash report submits in this list before.) However, the actual "Crashes" listing on the appstoreconnect sites hasn't show any new crash reports for many months now: (This is the entirety of crash reports I can get listed, even when removing all filters.) Something appears to be stuck, on Apple's end. The same issue is with Xcode's Organanizer window, for "Crashes": It also used to list only the same very old reports and nothing since May 2024. And just now, when I retried this in Xcode, I'm shown a weird error message I never saw before: Error Downloading Crashes List An error occurred… Access Restricted with adam id: 1207815783 And yes, I'm logged in just fine, under Prefs / Accounts. How am I going to get this investigated? I had already sent an email about this to the Review team, who didn't react to it at all. DTS is only for Code level support, which this isn't. Any help?

I remember a long time ago seeing a website that would show every single piece of feedback sent to Apple, not showing the sender. The website looked old but still working. Dies anyone know what it is? Thank you

I'm running macOS 15.5. I now have Xcode 26 and I'm testing my iOS app against iOS 26. I've encountered several UIKit / iOS 26 bugs I'd like to report. In Feedback Assistant I choose "Developer Technologies & SDKs". Eventually I get asked "What build does the issue occur on?". The list of choices is: iOS 18.2 Seed 4 iOS 18.1.1 iOS 17.7.2 An earlier iOS build I'm not sure So how to I report this as an iOS 26 beta 1 issue?
