Device: iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 26.4 Xcode: Latest version, development signing with "Automatically manage signing" Team: Registered Apple Developer Program (Organization) Problem DeviceActivityReport SwiftUI view renders completely blank. The Report Extension's makeConfiguration(representing:) is never called (confirmed via App Group counter that stays at 0). The DeviceActivityMonitorExtension callbacks (intervalDidStart, eventDidReachThreshold) also never fire. What works AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .individual) → .approved DeviceActivityCenter().startMonitoring() → registers schedules successfully, center.activities returns them ManagedSettingsStore.shield.applications → blocks apps correctly from the main app process Screen Time is enabled and actively collecting data (Settings > Screen Time shows per-app usage: Clash Royale 2h 35m, etc.) App Group UserDefaults(suiteName:) read/write works from the main app What doesn't work DeviceActivityReportExtension.makeConfiguration() is never called (callCount stays 0 in App Group) DeviceActivityMonitorExtension.intervalDidStart() is never called No extension callbacks fire at all — the extension process is never launched by iOS Confirmed it's NOT our app's issue We created a brand new Xcode project from Apple's template: File > New > Project > App File > New > Target > Device Activity Report Extension Added Family Controls capability to both targets Embedded DeviceActivityReport view in ContentView with daily filter Built and ran on the same device Result: Same blank screen. The template project's Report Extension also never renders any data. Console errors Failed to locate container app bundle record.

Is there a specific configuration or workaround that makes the extension process launch? The Sandbox restriction error (159) on usermanagerd.xpc seems to be the root cause — is there an entitlement or device setting we're missing?

Hello everyone, I paid for an Apple Developer subscription, but after about 5-6 days I still can't access my developer funds. Please help me access and activate my developer account. I haven't received a response for several days and I'm very upset. I don't know what to do. They're not responding to my requests and the phone number isn't listed anywhere, so I can't call. The Apple Developer subscription appears in the App Store subscriptions, money is being withdrawn from my account, the account isn't active, and my Apple Developer account is empty. This is my first and very frustrating experience. Order code: W1314135156

My iOS Swift application works without problems and tested on wide range of iPhones from iPhone X to iPhone 16 Pro Max when compiled by XCode 16.4. When compiled on Xcode 26 application it frequently crashes with 0x8BADF00D FRONTBOARD error in various places when running on iPhone 14 Plus, most often when typing or when scrolling the screen. It works without problems on iPhone 16 Pro Max independent of the version of Xcode used for compilation. I followed dozens of recommendations, introduced async/await, tasks, significantly reduced complexity of layouts, making uniform bubbles etc.etc. , tried to introduce many simplifications in the application, still I could not achieve elimination of frequent crashes on iPhone 14 Plus running iOS 26.3.1, no matter what I tried. Other than that all functionality seems to be working. This is the beginning of the Crash report: Termination Reason: Namespace FRONTBOARD, <RBSTerminateContext| domain:10 code:0x8BADF00D explanation: Failed to terminate gracefully after 5.0s ProcessVisibility: Unknown ProcessState: Running WatchdogEvent: process-exit WatchdogVisibility: Foreground WatchdogCPUStatistics: ( "Elapsed total CPU time (seconds): 9.330 (user 7.670, system 1.660), 29% CPU", "Elapsed application CPU time (seconds): 5.358, 17% CPU" ) Thread 0 name: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Thread 0 Crashed: 0 ??? 0x1b184c7b0 ??? 1 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19de70694 ContiguousArrayStorage.__deallocating_deinit + 95 2 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19dd013a8 swift_release_dealloc + 55 3 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19dd01fc4 bool swift::RefCounts<swift::RefCountBitsT<(swift::RefCountInlinedness)1>>::doDecrementSlow<(swift::PerformDeinit)1>(swift::RefCountBitsT<(swift::RefCountInlinedness)1>, unsigned int) + 151 4 SwiftUICore 0x1aaee2ca4 LazyLayoutViewCache.updatePrefetchPhases() + 1315 5 SwiftUICore 0x1ab129068 specialized LazySubviewPlacements.updateValue() + 4251 6 SwiftUICore 0x1ab14a23c specialized implicit closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in Attribute.init(:) + 23 7 AttributeGraph 0x1d2be8e48 AG::Graph::UpdateStack::update() + 499 8 AttributeGraph 0x1d2beacf0 AG::Subgraph::update(unsigned int) + 959 9 SwiftUICore 0x1aace5b44 specialized GraphHost.runTransaction(:do:id:) + 387 10 SwiftUICore 0x1aac772d8 GraphHost.flushTransactions() + 183 11 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0fa80 <deduplicated_symbol> + 23 12 SwiftUICore 0x1aac71578 partial apply for closure #1 in ViewGraphRootValueUpdater.updateGraph(body:) + 27 13 SwiftUICore 0x1aac73f54 ViewGraphRootValueUpdater._updateViewGraph(body:) + 231 14 SwiftUICore 0x1aac714d0 ViewGraphRootValueUpdater.updateGraph(body:) + 179 15 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0fa4c closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 171 16 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0f998 partial apply for closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 23 17 SwiftUICore 0x1aac69aa8 closure #1 in static Update.ensure(:) + 55 18 SwiftUICore 0x1aac69cec static Update.ensure(:) + 99 19 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0f970 partial apply for closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 79 20 SwiftUICore 0x1aad97e10 <deduplicated_symbol> + 27 21 SwiftUICore 0x1aac5aab0 specialized static NSRunLoop.flushObservers() + 363 22 SwiftUICore 0x1aac5a91c @objc closure #1 in static NSRunLoop.addObserver(:) + 27 23 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c87ea0 CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_AN_OBSERVER_CALLBACK_FUNCTION + 35 24 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c7158c __CFRunLoopDoObservers + 647 25 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c48740 __CFRunLoopRun + 923 26 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c47a6c CFRunLoopRunSpecificWithOptions + 531 27 GraphicsServices 0x2455d9498 GSEventRunModal + 119 28 UIKitCore 0x1a66f7df8 -[UIApplication run] + 791 29 UIKitCore 0x1a66a0e54 UIApplicationMain + 335 30 SwiftUI 0x1a99b8d20 closure #1 in KitRendererCommon(:) + 167 31 SwiftUI 0x1a99b58d4 runApp(:) + 111 32 SwiftUI 0x1a99b53c0 static App.main() + 171

Hello everyone, I’m having an issue renewing my Apple Developer membership. I’ve tried everything: Different devices (Mac, iPhone, Windows) Different browsers Hard refresh and clearing cache Checked subscriptions from App Store Tried all possible ways I could find Nothing worked, and the renewal option is still not showing. I also contacted Apple Developer Support but haven’t received any response yet. Has anyone faced this issue before or found a solution? Thanks.

Hi, I hope it's ok to post this here as I'm on a bit of a time-crunch to have this sorted and looking to get this issue resolved. I just renewed my Apple Developer Program membership (annual subscription) and received my order confirmation (Order #W1411330632, placed February 28, 2026) for $1,749.00 MXN. However, my membership status still hasn't updated to active. Is this normal (a waiting period for a renewal). If not, could someone help guide me in the direction of whom to reach out to for support? Thank you for your help. Regards, Joe

Since 26.4 beta 3 I've been having errors after a few hours of using Claude Agent. I get an error stating that I am not authed. If I go into Xcode settings, it still shows I am signed into Claude Agent. I have click sign out and then go through the whole auth process again to start using the agent again. This is on two separate computers. Is there anything I can do to stop this behaviour and stay logged in for longer? It worked fine in 26.3.

Hi everyone, yesterday I updated my macOS and Xcode to the latest versions and today I have the strangest thing: Canvas is always crashing whenever I click it, in any and all my Projects. The full Simulator works just fine; only the Preview Canvas crashes. All the crash reports say it's because of AXRemoteElement-BackgroundFetch, and ChatGPT says it's not because of my code. These are very simple Projects, just for experimentation. Nothing complex, just native code while I follow examples in a SwiftUI book. Anyone else having this issue?

Since a combined upgrade to macOS 26.4 and Xcode 26.4 I am plagued by .DS_Store and UserInterfaceState files appearing in my repository list of uncommitted changes. This is preventing commits and merging etc. I have added the following list to both the .gitignore_global file via directly editing the file and also the Xcode>Settings>Git Settings>Ignore Files # Mac OS X .DS_Store # Xcode *.pbxuser *.mode1v3 *.mode2v3 *.perspectivev3 *.xcuserstate UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate project.xcworkspace/ xcuserdata/ # Generated files *.o *.pyc # Build directories DerivedData/ build/ # CocoaPods Pods/ # Carthage Carthage/ # Other *.swp *.lock This has been to no avail. I have raised Feedback FB22370688 for this issue. It has been marked as no similar reports which is odd because there are a lot of mentions of the .DS_Store files appearing in Git and also of problems with the ignore settings of Git. For a while, I successfully prevented the .DS_Store files from showing up as uncommitted changes but now they are back again. I did a git status on the project and got this output for a while Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: Target Analysis.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/myuserid.xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate Ignored files: (use "git add -f <file>..." to include in what will be committed) Target Analysis iOS/ Target Analysis macOS/ Views/Testing/.DS_Store Now, in Xcode it looks like this So the .DS_Store files are no longer being ignored. I have raised an Apple Developer Tech Support (DTS) Question as I have exhausted every avenue that I could find. DTS said to just remove the file(s) in Git. Neither this nor the .gitignore_global file are fixing the problem. This all just seems to be so unnecessarily difficult especially as many others have faced the same problem.

Hi I paid my apple developer account fee on October 23rd. However, my account is still not active. I've emailed support several times. What should I do to open my account? I've been waiting for a long time. Is there anyone here to help?

I enrolled my company Yasmina IT and Development LLC (Wyoming LLC) in the Apple Developer Program as an organization. The enrollment was declined and my account page now shows "Your enrollment request for your company has been declined." Company details: Legal Entity: Yasmina IT and Development LLC D-U-N-S: 141729385 Website: yasmina-it.com Valid EIN and passport on file Developer Support (Robert, case 102818588804) advised me to enroll as an individual instead, but provided no specific reason for the organization decline. I replied on March 19th asking for the rejection reason — no response. I opened a second case (30000003327016) on March 25th — also no response. I am not asking to bypass any requirements. I simply need the specific rejection reason so I can take the correct action. Has anyone experienced this and found a resolution?

We have received a Pending Termination Notice for our Apple Developer account related to guideline 3.2(f). We submitted a formal appeal over two weeks ago but have not received any response. We want to ensure full compliance and have clearly confirmed in our appeal that: -No hidden features exist -No dynamic content switching occurs after review -All apps are independently configured for specific regions Given the lack of response, could someone advise: whether additional steps are required from our side or how we can ensure our appeal is reviewed Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I just submitted a feedback for this (FB9662125) but in the spirit of “share and enjoy”… The cool new Generate Info.plist File feature in Xcode 13 crashes if you try to put an NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary in your Info.plist file. Here’s a simple repro scenario: Create a minimal iOS app (no Core Data, no tests) Go to target settings → Info tab → Custom iOS Target Properties Click the (+) button on any row to begin inserting a new row Select Privacy - Location Temporary Usage Description Dictionary Click somewhere else or press Return to commit the selection Xcode crashes immediately More generally, it seems that Xcode crashes any time it tries to regenerate your Info.plist file if it contains an NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary, even if (for example) you manually pasted that dictionary into the file earlier. In that case, merely tapping the (+) button in step 3 above is enough to crash it.

I have now registered twice and had no response from customer service. I see dozens of other people on the forum with the same issue. This needs to be resolved and someone from apple needs to speak up.

Hey there, so I wanted to know what kind of experience you guys had with creating your apple developer account. I have a client who paid for my developer account with his credit card details, but he's not in my country, I figured that this is the reason the payment is taking ages to process but I've received several emails saying "hey payment has been received" and all that jazz. But it still says "Purchase your membership" on my enrolled to developer program page. If anyone could provide some support that would be great.

Hi everyone! I’m building Delta — an app designed to rethink time, because time is literally our most valuable currency. So the core mechanic involves earning time in useful apps and then spending it on apps that are a distraction. I already have a prototype that’s being actively tested in a closed beta, but I’ve started noticing that more and more testers are reporting the same bug. “Time is being counted even when I'm not in the app I marked as useful.” I suspect that Screen Time is also tracking background time, although this behavior isn't correct for my app. Does anyone know how to track specifically those moments when an app marked as useful and used for “time-earning” is in the foreground? Additionally, I hit a wall with Screen Time and had to accept that I can’t force a user away from another app if they’re active there, nor redirect them to my app to trigger the lock screen. Because of this, I had to resort to a penalty system, which is equal to the time the user spent additionally after their time ran out. And here, I run into the same problem I described at the beginning of the post. I can’t track the background status of another app, even though I’m trying really hard... Can anyone suggest any ways I can get out of this situation, or should I keep looking for a solution, or shift toward explaining this to the user?.. (However, I’m holding out until the very end before giving up on finding a solution)

Xcode Cloud seems to be queueing up builds but not processing them. Currently the earliest queued build on my end is about 3 hours ago. System status pages don't show any issues. I just want to check if this is something other people are seeing or just something going weird on our account.

I have a subscription since Wednesday and normally two days later my account should be validated, but until then the account is still pending, can anyone help me? help me !!!!!

Does apple responds to to emails? Im not getting any answer why my account not approved
