Does the annually updated requirement that apps uploaded to App Store Connect must be built with the latest SDK (i.e. Xcode version) only apply to the main executable or to embedded binaries (e.g. frameworks) also?

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone here can help, or that this post reaches someone from the Developer Program team. I purchased the Apple Developer Program on June 19, 2026. The payment was completed and charged to my card successfully, but my account is still showing "Pending" under the Account page, with no activation and no access to App Store Connect. Details: Order Number: W1866077350 Purchase date: June 19, 2026 Amount charged: ₩129,000 I first reached out via the contact form on June 21 and received no response. I've since submitted another request through developer.apple.com/contact, but so far there's been no update or communication from the support team. I'm based in South Korea, and the phone callback option doesn't seem to be available in my region, so email/forum are really my only channels right now. If anyone has been through this and found a way to get it resolved, I'd really appreciate any advice. And if any Apple staff members monitoring this forum could take a look at my case, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

M4 Mac Mini: Xcode generates private keys with wrong label - codesigning impossible Background This is a follow up to my November 2024 thread "Keychain issues after installing backup on new Mac" which was closed because I had a temporary workaround. That workaround using my wife's MacBook Air for signing is not sustainable. I used AI assistance to determine the root cause. My DTS case 102877839447 is open but has not yet been forwarded to a DTS engineer. Environment Mac Mini M4, macOS 15.4.1 (Build 25E253) Xcode 26.4.1 (17E202) Team ID: Q23726668V (Computerade Products) Working comparison machine: MacBook Air, macOS 15.3 Precise Bug — Reproducible Every Time Every time Xcode generates a new certificate and key pair on my Mac Mini: Certificate: Apple Development: Michael Birch (9KD5TCGGHG) ✅ Private key: Apple Development: Michael Birch (Computerade Products) ❌ The key uses the organization name instead of the certificate identifier. They never pair as a valid codesigning identity. security find-identity -v -p codesigning always returns 0 valid identities. Cryptographic Evidence The internal application labels confirm the keys are cryptographically unrelated to their certificates: Key internal application label: 53C26EB056997276B5E938258D00665ACABD1F0F Certificate public key hash: 57cd1af4a9162f26b1a6d750e05a63a2166b75ff These do not match ❌ Confirmed Eliminated As Causes Keychain search list corruption — found and fixed Partition list — set correctly Access control — set to allow all applications Full Disk Access — granted to Xcode Xcode caches and preferences — completely cleared Login keychain — completely reset Orphaned certificates and keys — all removed SIP enabled, system fully up to date Valid P12 Import Also Fails A p12 exported from the working MacBook Air and cryptographically verified as a matched pair also fails on the Mac Mini: security import returns MAC verification failed Keychain Access import returns OSStatus -2 Importing certificate and key separately as PEM files succeeds but they are not recognized as a valid identity pair despite matching application labels A3F3F193B7896DA9055353F59AB450778CB09AE7 Question Is there a known issue with M4 Mac Mini keychain infrastructure where private keys are generated with incorrect internal application labels? Is there a lower level diagnostic or fix beyond what the security command provides? The problem is specific to my Mac Mini M4 and persisted thru more than a year of Mac OS and xCode updates.

Hi, I installed Xcode 27 beta 2 and now I can't create any VMs using Virtualization. I tried uninstalling the beta Xcode and re-installing the Xcode 26, but it's still failing. I was able to create VMs using ipsws before I installed Xcode 27, so I'm certain it's the cause. Is there a way to fully uninstall everything having to do with Xcode from the machine without having to re-install my entire macOS?

All of my builds are grayed out and have been for over a month, so I can’t submit upgrades. I’ve reached out to support and searched for answers. And compared metadata of the builds that did submit with the ones on TestFlight that a frayed out and un-selectable. Anyone have ideas on how to get past this and the possible cause? mike

Hello, Following up on case 102929838974, with no response yet. Accessing Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles in my account returns: "Unable to find a team with the given Team ID 'P7KK44NATH' to which you belong. Please contact Apple Developer Program Support." I am not a member of that team. In Xcode → Accounts, my Apple ID shows only my Personal Team — no organization and no paid membership. App Store Connect reports "Your Apple Account isn't enabled for App Store Connect." So no membership is active anywhere, yet the developer portal keeps loading P7KK44NATH as my default team and erroring out — an orphaned/stale team reference I don't belong to. This appears to be what's blocking my new individual enrollment. Every purchase attempt produces an Order Acknowledgement email but returns me to "Purchase your membership," with no charge and no order number generated. My payment method is confirmed working — the same card on my Apple Account charged an iCloud+ subscription this week — so this is not a billing problem. The account cannot complete enrollment while it is pointed at a team I am not part of. Please clear the stale P7KK44NATH association on my account and allow my individual membership to complete. Team ID: P7KK44NATH Support Case ID: 102929838974 Thank you, Mikk

上个月，我用一个 老 的常用的Gmail 邮箱新注册了一个 Apple ID ，专门用于注册 Apple Developer Program，以便与我的个人 Apple ID 账号隔离。 第一次注册Apple Developer Program时，走到填写邓白氏编码的地方我就停止了，因为那个时候我还没有邓白氏编码。 现在我的邓白氏编码申请下来了，然后我重新在手机Apple Developer App里面继续去注册Apple Developer Program，填写了 邓白氏编码，继续下一个步骤，但是后面验证 ”工作电子邮件“ 时，一直无法验证，提示：未知错误。试了很多次，也换了很多邮箱，结果都是不行。 我以为是手机上Apple Developer App的问题，然后我又在我的 MacBook 上安装了 Apple Developer App，想通过 MacBook 去注册，在 MacBook 的 Apple Developer App 里面填写个人信息、拍照都没问题，但是后面填写完地址、邮编、电话等信息后， 弹窗底部的”继续“按钮是禁用状态，无法点击，我确认我填写的资料没有问题，但是就是无法继续。尝试很多次都不行。 然后我又回到手机 Apple Developer App里面去尝试，在填写完基础信息并提交后提示：你的账户可能存在问题，需要解决后才能继续注册流程。请与支持团队联系。再次进入手机 Apple Developer App里面就看到一个提示：未能成功验证身份证。 上面的步骤我重复尝试了很多次，结果是无论是在 iPhone 还是 MacBook 上，都无法注册 Apple Developer Program。 我不知道到底是哪里出了问题，请帮我解答！

Hi everyone, I've been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for the past 5 days and keep hitting the same error at the final step: "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred." I've already contacted Apple Developer Support but have not received any response after 5 days. I've also tried: Different browsers and clearing cache/cookies Different network connections My Apple ID is in good standing and my payment method is valid. The error gives no further details, which makes it hard to troubleshoot. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Any help or guidance from Apple staff would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Im trying to enroll and the scan functions in the enrollment app won't focus well enough to capture my drivers license. I tested the camera outside the app and it works fine, zoom works, etc. How am i supposed to enroll if i can't get the enrollment app to accept my identity?

I can sign into AppStore Connect from Chrome, not sometimes in Safari. I get an error dialog that says The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to log in with account ''. An unexpected failure occurred while logging in (Underlying error code -1001). Apple servers all seem up, so it's just me apparently

Hello, I am posting here as a last resort because I have been unable to get any assistance through Apple Developer Support. Case ID: 102888399005 Timeline: I started the Apple Developer Program enrollment process using the Apple Developer app on my iPhone. I successfully uploaded my ID document. After that, I received a message stating that my identity could not be verified. I submitted a support request to Apple Developer Support. I received a reply from Developer Support, but the response did not address my issue or provide any guidance on how to continue the enrollment process. The status in the Apple Developer app on my iPhone later changed to "ID Verification Rejected". I replied to the existing support case and, after receiving no response for two weeks, submitted a new support request. Several weeks have now passed without any response to either request. The enrollment page on the web now displays the message: "Your enrollment could not be completed." The Apple Developer app for iOS still shows "ID Verification Rejected" In the Apple Developer app for macOS, I am able to start the enrollment process. However, after scanning my ID document, the app either displays a completely black image or crashes immediately. At this point, I have multiple open support requests and an unresolved case, but I have not received any guidance on why my identity verification was rejected or how I can proceed with enrollment. I would greatly appreciate any assistance, guidance, or help in getting this case reviewed by the appropriate team. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Jan Bula

Summary: Xcode 26.5 on macOS 26.5.1 (25F80) does not record recently opened projects. The Welcome window permanently shows "No Recent Projects" regardless of how many projects are opened. Open recent projects menu item no longer exists in new versions. Only on welcome. Steps to Reproduce: Launch Xcode 26.6 on macOS 26.5.1 Open an existing .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace file by double-clicking in Finder Close the project Open the Welcome window (Shift+Cmd+1 or via Window menu) Expected Result: The recently opened project appears in the Recent Projects list. Actual Result: The Welcome window shows "No Recent Projects". The keys IDERecentEditorDocuments and IDERecentWorkspaceDocuments in com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist remain empty or absent after opening projects. Diagnostic Steps Already Taken: Confirmed com.apple.quarantine xattr removed from Xcode plist Confirmed Full Disk Access granted to Xcode Confirmed plist is writable (no uchg flag, correct ownership) Deleted com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist entirely and allowed Xcode to recreate it — issue persists Confirmed ApplePersistenceIgnoreState is not set globally or per-app Confirmed NSGlobalDomain ApplePersistenceIgnoreState is not set Projects are opened by double-clicking physical .xcodeproj files in Finder (not aliases or symlinks) Environment: Xcode Version: 26.5 macOS Version: 26.5.1 (Build 25F80) Hardware: MacBook Pro

Has Apple ever offered the final public release of an OS to a limited group of Developer Beta users before the official public rollout? I've also heard claims that these early releases or invitations are only sent to owners of Pro models (for example, iPhone Pro models). Is there any official information confirming this, or is it just a rumor? I'd appreciate clarification from anyone familiar with Apple's release process.

Where did the simulator "Slow animations" mode go? I can't find it in the Xcode 27 beta 2 "Device Hub". This feature is incredibly useful. I'm assuming it's a glitch that it's missing, or I'm just not looking in the right place.

Xcode Cloud builds fail at the export archive step. The critical log shows: Account "Session Proxy Provider": Unable to authenticate with App Store Connect Error Domain=DVTServicesSessionProviderCredentialITunesAuthenticationContextError Code=1 "(null)" And in DVTITunesSoftwareService.log: App Store Connect response failed with unknown failure; response (null); error (null) error: DVTServicesSessionProviderCredentialITunesAuthenticationContextError.proxy Environment: Xcode Cloud, iOS app, team type Individual (S43L28SVX2) What I have ruled out: Regenerated all DISTRIBUTION_MANAGED certificates (per thread 744683) — portal API is reachable, certs issued successfully Removed an obsolete App Groups entitlement that was causing a secondary error — that error is now gone All agreements accepted, no pending legal items Failure persists across multiple builds with identical symptoms The developer portal API responds correctly. The failure is isolated to the App Store Connect store configuration endpoint specifically, where the proxy returns response (null) — no HTTP response at all. This appears identical to thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/810658 where Apple confirmed the root cause was a backend API permission issue for the team requiring an Apple-side fix. Support case 102857550486 was opened but redirected to admin support without technical investigation. Has anyone else hit this recently, or can an Apple engineer look at the backend state for this team?

I submitted everything on April 15, 2026. I call each week, I've sent emails explaining the name of the company if there was any doubts about it's origins. I have been asked twice, by email, for more documents, which I replied in a matter of minutes too with the uploads and notes in each upload. May 11th, an individual in Developer Support reached out via email for some documents, that I replied to very quickly and received a reply from that individual. May 8th, another individual in Developer Support reached out via email for some documents too, I replied very quickly and did not receive a reply to my email this time. I've put off everything on a product that is not SIWA related, now I've finished those items and need to get a token, which I can't in my account's current state. Thank you for your time.

Hi! Our membership has been expired and we unable to renew it. On developer website it says to sign in to Apple Developer app and renew from there, but there is no any button or an option to renew it there. We have tried different devices. We think the cause is that developer account holder is a business managed account. Could anyone help us renew membership with business managed account as a account holder? Thank you!

I’m posting here because I’ve read that the support team is more responsive on these forums, and I’m hoping someone from Apple can take a look at my case. Enrollment ID: C4F9MQY752 Support Case: 102924068161 Current valid order: W1616353197 Timeline: • I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program (Individual) and made a clean, single payment using my primary Apple Account, after being advised to do so by Developer Support following an earlier duplicate-charge issue. • It has now been several weeks since that payment. My developer account still shows “Hobbyist” and prompts me to “Enroll today,” as if no payment or enrollment exists. • I have sent multiple follow-up emails to the case above and called Developer Support, but have not received any update on the actual activation. My priority is activation, not the refund. I understand a refund for an earlier duplicate charge is also in progress, but that is not urgent for me — what I need most is for my membership to be activated so I can access App Store Connect and TestFlight. My app is fully built and ready; this enrollment delay is the only thing blocking me from launching. If anyone from the Apple Developer Support or Enrollment team could look into this case and help move it forward, I would be extremely grateful. I’m also glad to provide any additional documentation needed to complete the review. Thank you very much for your time.
