Hi, For the questions the original posts they need to be notified by default. Presently unless the user taps on Opt in they wouldn't be notified. Having good default behavior is a big part of good design / usability. If user posts something then there is reason to believe that that the person would like to be informed when there is response to that thread. If the user wants to opt out that could be made as a button, usually a person would want to opt out only much later when the original poster has got response and doesn't want any more. Confusion There is an opt in banner on top of the thread and there is a bell icon below the post, not sure what the difference is. The banner is barely visible on dark mode as that is also black The whole experience causes confusion and lacks confidence whether the user will be notified or not. Forum participation Generally user participation in the forum is low. So by making opt in for the posts the user has posted that makes the participation even lesser even when the original poster wants to participate. Proposal By default any post the user posts, the bell icon would be pressed (turned on) for that post, meaning the poster will get notified If the user wants to opt out of the thread the user can press the bell icon to turn off notification for that thread. For all the posts that the user hasn't posted by default the user is turned off Please provide an option for users to turn on / off notifications on specific topics / tags, this can be helpful when some developer / Apple engineer wants to actively participate / follow a specific topic. Remove the banner on top seems and stick only to the bell icon.

I’m seeing a reproducible issue in both Xcode 26 and Xcode 27 where Coding Assistant appears to stop autocompleting when a project contains a larger number of Swift Package dependencies. Symptoms: Autocomplete suggestions from Coding Assistant stop appearing. File targeting with @ stops working. The issue typically appears shortly after opening the project If I start a brand-new chat immediately after opening the project, Coding Assistant sometimes works briefly before failing Reducing or removing Swift Package dependencies fixes the issue I’ve created a sample project that reproduces the problem and have also filed Feedback Assistant report: FB23341243 The issue seems related to package count or project complexity rather than any specific package, although I haven’t yet identified the exact threshold that triggers it. Has anyone else run into this or has anyone found a workaround?

Hello, I am looking for guidance on how to pre-provision TCC permissions for automated desktop app testing on the macOS 27 beta. We have maintained a CI testing setup by saving snapshots of VMs with pre-configured user TCC databases. This allowed our UI tests to run without being blocked by permission prompts. This included permissions like screen recording, full disk access or apple events. On the macOS 27 beta, this workflow appears completely broken. While the system TCC database seems to function as it used to, the user TCC database has been moved into a ProtectedSystem container. Direct modifications to the user database now seem impossible. Is there any officially supported way to pre-provision user-level TCC permissions on macOS 27 VMs for automated CI environments? Is Apple's intention here that the system DB is the only one that's actually editable (with SIP disabled)? How does Apple recommend CI platforms handle user-level permission prompts in headless or automated VM environments moving forward? Any insights or recommended alternative workflows would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

iPhoneSimulator.app used to have the ability to show an external display / CarPlay display, but this feature does not appear to be available in DeviceHub.app, making it difficult (/impossible :( ) to test CarPlay features from the simulator.

Hi all, The minimum deployment target for Xcode 27 seems to be macOS 12. While the Changelog states it should be 11. The minimum supported deployment target on macOS has been increased to 11.0. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-27-release-notes#Deprecations-in-Xcode-27-Beta Which one will it finally be? We need this information to make a product portfolio decision. I already opened a Radar addressing the mismatch between documentation and actual shipped SDK, see FB23106692. I waited to post here if the conflict get's resolved in Xcode Beta 2. But the issue still persists.

Inquiring if there are any bugs in the wait list for obtaining access to Siri AI. Most developers I know have received access at this point, my devices are still waitlisted. Are their steps outside of region / language that can cause longer wait times for admittance and are there steps I should take to ensure their is not a hitch in the system, or is this truly a slow rollout and I will just be a week behind the curve in development ?

Hello, I am currently unable to submit builds for TestFlight testing. Whenever I attempt to process a build, I receive the following error: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING "Beta contract is missing for the app." I have verified my account details and compliance to ensure everything is correct on my end: I am the Account Holder. My Free Apps and Paid Apps agreements are both marked as Active in App Store Connect. All App Privacy, Age Rating, and Export Compliance forms are completed. I reached out to Apple Support via email a few days ago but have not yet received a response. My Support Case ID is: 102910951543. Because there are no pending agreements on my end, it appears the TestFlight Beta contract has become detached on Apple's backend. Could a DTS engineer or support representative please manually re-provision the beta contract for my account? Thank you for your time and assistance.

I have an orphaned asset folder taking up 9.13GB located at: /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime/c0d3fd05106683ba0b3680d4d1afec65f098d700.asset It contains SimulatorRuntimeAsset version 18.5 (Build 22F77). Active Version: My current Xcode setup is using version 26.2 (Build 23C54). I checked the plist files in the directory and found what seems to be the cause of the issue: The "Never Collected" Flag: The Info.plist inside the orphaned asset folder explicitly sets the garbage collection behavior to "NeverCollected": <key>__AssetDefaultGarbageCollectionBehavior</key> <string>NeverCollected</string> The Catalog Mismatch: The master catalog file (com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime.xml) in the parent directory only lists the new version (26.2). Because the old version (18.5) is missing from this XML, Xcode and mobileassetd seem to have lost track of it entirely. What I Have Tried (All Failed) Xcode Components: The version 18.5 does not appear in Settings -> Components, so I cannot delete it via the GUI. Simctl: xcrun simctl list runtimes does not list this version. Running xcrun simctl runtime delete 22F77 fails with: "No runtime disk images or bundles found matching '22F77'." Manual Deletion: sudo rm -rf [path] fails with "Operation not permitted", presumably because /System/Library/AssetsV2 is SIP-protected. Third-party Tools: Apps like DevCleaner do not detect this runtime (likely because they only scan ~/Library or /Library, not /System/Library). Has anyone found a way to force the system (perhaps via mobileassetd or a specific xcrun flag) to re-evaluate this folder and respect a deletion request? I am trying to avoid booting into Recovery Mode just to delete a cache file. Any insights on how AssetsV2 handles these "orphaned" files would be appreciated.

using String Catalog, missing locale entries don't fall back to source language. for example, "%lld videos" : { "comment" : "Label for a number of videos", "extractionState" : "manual", "localizations" : { "en" : { "variations" : { "plural" : { "one" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "%(count)lld video" } }, "other" : { "stringUnit" : { "state" : "translated", "value" : "%(count)lld videos" } } } } }, this allows us to use Text(.videos(count: 1)) in English and it'll produce "1 video" as expected but when the locale is French for example, it'll produce "1" instead, until "fr" entry will be added. this is extremely inconvenient. what's the proper workaround?

Hey! When I try to enroll on the apple developer app, it says: "Enrollment through the apple developer app is not avaiable for this apple account", the problem is that this didn't show where it is right now yesterday, which is weird. Could someone tell me why could that be? Also, what's the difference between doing it on the app and on the web?

When working with an Objective-C project in Xcode 26.5, I'm unable to establish outlet and action connections by dragging between XIB files and the corresponding .h header files. This drag-and-drop connection works perfectly after switching to Xcode 26.3.0. In addition, under Xcode 26.5, drag-and-drop linking works normally for projects using Swift files together with XIB files. The issue only occurs with Objective-C .h files and XIB files.

I have been trying for the past week to get a developer support call back. I end up waiting in line for over 1 hour and no one picks up. I have sent emails and was answered once asking for details, I have replied and then the reply has not been answered for a while too. The reason I'm trying to contact them in the first place is because my sole trade status has yet to be approved. I have provided the details 2 weeks ago and I haven't received any progress or update on it. Any one had a similar experience?

Hello Apple Support Team, I am writing to report a serious and ongoing issue with my Apple Developer Program enrollment. My Enrollment ID is: VPJL4YLXR3 or W73FG9L35K I have been trying to complete my Apple Developer Program enrollment for approximately 50 days, but I still cannot successfully purchase the program. I have tried multiple times using different devices, different internet connections, and different credit cards. However, every time I reach the final payment step in the Apple Developer app, I receive the following error: “Unable to Purchase This item is currently not available in your country/region.” My country/region is Türkiye, and the payment screen shows the subscription fee in Turkish Lira. Despite this, the purchase is still blocked. I also tried to reach Apple Developer Support by phone. I waited for nearly one hour, but I was not able to connect with anyone. The support I have received by email has also been insufficient, because I keep receiving general reminders to complete the purchase, while the real issue is that Apple’s own enrollment/payment flow does not allow me to complete it. This situation is extremely frustrating. I am trying to pay for the Apple Developer Program and become an Apple developer, but Apple’s system is preventing me from doing so. After 50 days of unsuccessful attempts and insufficient support, I honestly find it very difficult to understand why developers are expected to trust this process or why people prefer this brand when such a basic enrollment issue cannot be resolved in a reasonable time. Please do not treat this as a simple incomplete purchase case. I am willing to complete the payment, but I am blocked by the “country/region” error at the final payment step. I kindly request that this issue be escalated urgently to the relevant billing, enrollment, or technical team. Please review my Apple ID, country/region eligibility, payment flow, and enrollment record, and provide a clear solution so I can complete my Apple Developer Program purchase immediately. I have attached a screenshot showing the exact error message. Thank you.

Hello, I started an Apple Developer Program enrollment, but I accidentally entered the wrong name during the process. The enrollment was not completed yet. I would like to know what is the correct way to reset, cancel, or restart the enrollment so I can submit it again with my correct legal name. I already contacted Apple Developer Support, but I have not been able to resolve the issue yet. I would appreciate any guidance on the proper next step. Thank you.

My developer account pending for more that 48 hours. When I login to http://developer.apple.com, it show the following message: Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now. Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process. I have already paid the membership fee and got the E-invoice from apple. Could anyone help to solve this problem? Thanks.

Hello, I’m posting here as a last resort because this situation is becoming extremely concerning. I applied for the Apple Developer Program on April 1st, and the $99 payment was successfully charged immediately. I was told I would receive a response within 2 business days. It has now been 23 days, and I have received absolutely no communication from Apple—no confirmation, no update, nothing. I have already: Sent multiple emails to Apple Developer Support Waited far beyond the promised timeframe But there has been complete silence. To make things worse, I am located in a country where phone support is not available, so I have no way to escalate this directly. At this point, I’m struggling to understand what’s happening: Apple has taken my payment My developer account is still not active There is no response from support This feels extremely unprofessional and honestly raises serious concerns about how this process is being handled. If there is an issue with my enrollment, why has there been no communication at all? And if not, why is my payment being held without any progress? I would really appreciate if someone from Apple could look into this urgently or advise on what steps I can take next. Right now, I feel completely scammed with no visibility into what’s going on.

Hi, Apple has taken my payment for the Apple Developer Program, but 11 days later my developer status still hasn't been activated. This is well beyond the stated 48-hour processing window. I've submitted multiple support tickets and sent several emails, but I've received no response to any of them — complete radio silence so far. This is becoming a serious problem as I'm working against active deadlines that depend on having an active developer account. Could anyone advise on the following: How can I escalate this beyond the standard support channels? Is there a direct contact or phone line for enrollment/membership issues? Has anyone experienced a similar delay, and how was it resolved? I'd really appreciate prompt assistance, as the lack of any update is concerning given the payment has already been processed. Thanks in advance.

A empty macos project created using xcode. run build failed with the following error message. nothing in detail. retry no help. seems indexing takes forever!! The Xcode build system has terminated due to an error. Build again to continue.

Hello, I am writing here in the hope that an Apple staff member or moderator can review our case or escalate it to the legal/verification team. We are completely blocked. Our team submitted a request to migrate our Apple Developer Program account from an Individual to an Organization membership more than a month ago. We have provided every single piece of required legal corporate verification upfront to avoid bottlenecks, including: D-U-N-S Number (fully matching our legal entity) Partnership Deed Certificate of Incorporation All other requested legal documentation. The Issue: Since submitting, we have received absolute silence. Email Support: Follow-up emails sent directly to the support case go completely unanswered. Phone Support: We try to use the call option during business hours, but after sitting on hold for 15+ minutes on multiple separate calls, the line never connects to a human agent. The Business Impact: Because this administrative migration is stuck, our developer name still displays as an individual. We are completely frozen and unable to push critical updates under our official company name. This is heavily impacting our active development timeline, halting our business velocity, and delaying deployment on App Store Connect. Furthermore, the deployment overhead is already frustrating—for example, having to unnecessarily upload an entire technical app version build just to modify App Store screenshots or promotional graphics makes very little sense from a deployment pipeline perspective, and this support freeze is compounding our frustration. Could a community manager or support advisor please look into this enrollment and escalate it? Enrollment ID: 5SBH3NGW92 Current Status: Stuck in processing for over a month. Thank you.

I recently initiated the process of migrating my account from an Individual Developer Account to and Organization one using my LLC. I have a DUNS number and submitted that along with requested documentation a while ago. It appears that my enrollment is stuck on a “Being processed” message, but I haven’t found a way to ensure that the documentation I provided is satisfactory for the requirements. Could someone confirm whether my enrollment is in the standard review queue or whether there are outstanding requirements I need to address?
