I am unable to build to my Series 12 which is on watchOS 27.2 beta 2, I have macOS 27.2 beta 2 and Xcode 27.2 beta 2 but when I open up Device Hub, and click on my watch, it says Tunnel State("Connecting" then "Disconnected") and won't ever connect. the app im building is watchOS only and so iPhone is incompatible and I've tried restarting every device but nothing works.

Hello Apple Developer Program team, I’m requesting follow-up on the Apple Developer Program organization enrollment for Dustoff Designs LLC. Original enrollment submission: September 25, 2026 Enrollment ID: 34D7N4P59M Email follow-up to Apple Developer Support: September 30, 2026 Support case number: 102981832949 At our last verified account check on October 3, the account still showed “Dustoff Designs LLC (Pending)” and “Your enrollment is being processed.” No additional verification request or membership payment step was displayed. Could the Apple Developer Program team please review this enrollment and the existing support case, confirm whether any verification or documents remain outstanding, and provide the next steps and an expected timeframe? If another team handles this, please help route the request to the appropriate enrollment specialist. Several of our apps are ready for submission, but we cannot submit them under Dustoff Designs LLC until the organization enrollment is completed. This delay is disrupting our planned launches and negatively affecting the company’s business prospects. Please prioritize reviewing our existing enrollment and support case, and follow up through the email address on file with a concrete status update and any remaining steps we need to complete. Thank you, Dustoff Designs LLC

I’m having a recurring problem with Apple Account Recovery and have not been able to identify what is interrupting the process. The first time this happened, I eventually discovered that I was still logged into the Apple Developer app on my Mac. From there, I was able to reset the password and regain access. A few weeks ago, the same issue started again. This time, however, I am no longer logged into the Apple Developer app or, as far as I can determine, into the affected Apple Account on any device. Apple Support told me that Account Recovery can be interrupted if: The recovery process is manually cancelled via iforgot.apple.com. Another device successfully logs into the account. Another device attempts to access the account, which can also stop the recovery process for security reasons. I am not cancelling the process. I have checked all of my own devices, and our developers have also checked theirs. We cannot find any device that is still logged in or intentionally trying to access the account. What makes the issue especially confusing is that I can see the recovery process being interrupted. If I visit iforgot.apple.com each day and go through the recovery steps, the countdown initially progresses normally, for example from “6 days remaining” to “5 days remaining.” But before the 7-day waiting period is completed, the countdown suddenly disappears and the recovery process starts again from the beginning. So the recovery request appears to be getting cancelled or interrupted, but I have no way to determine what is causing it. Apple Support has not been able to provide any information about the triggering event, such as the device type, IP address, location, or whether it was a successful login or merely an access attempt. This Apple Account is also connected to our company’s Apple Developer account, so the problem is causing a serious business issue. Has anyone experienced Account Recovery repeatedly resetting like this despite having no known device logged in? And is there any way to find out what device or access attempt is causing Apple to interrupt the recovery process, or to have this escalated to a team that can investigate the trigger?

Hello Appleians, Before purchasing an individual Apple Developer Program membership, I would like to clarify whether my intended use is supported. I will be the only developer and user, physically located in Türkiye. The app will run on my personal iPhone, without App Store or TestFlight distribution. My iPhone already displays Screen Time usage from my Mac through Share Across Devices. I will not install a collector on the Mac or monitor anyone else. Could you please clarify: Can an individual membership obtain both Family Controls and Family Controls App and Website Usage entitlements for development testing in Türkiye? Is ongoing, sole-user personal use permitted with a development provisioning profile? If not, which supported installation method permits this use in Türkiye? Can DeviceActivityData.activityData(filteredBy:using:) retrieve the shared Mac’s category durations without an app installed on that Mac? Under section 3.3.3(P), may the app upload daily category-duration aggregates to a private Cloudflare backend accessible only to me, and compare them with my own sleep and mood check-ins to flag changes from my personal baseline? The proposed system will not provide medical diagnosis or treatment, contain advertising, or collect messages, page titles or company content. Please distinguish technical development access from permission for ongoing personal use and off-device processing. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I recently submitted an application for a new Apple Developer Account, and it has been pending for about a week with no progress. After waiting four days, I received an email from the Apple Developer Support team requesting some additional information and clarification. I replied with all the requested details, but it has now been another four days without any response or update. The account is still pending. I have also tried contacting Apple Developer Support by phone and submitted a couple of additional support requests, but I haven't received any response so far. Is this a normal part of the enrollment process, or does it seem unusual? Has anyone experienced a similar situation recently? What would you recommend as the best next step? Thanks in advance!

I keep getting this error in the Apple Developer app: “Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple ID.” I want to enroll through the app so I can pay in Naira instead of dollars. Has anyone solved this recently? How did you get the Enroll button to work? Thanks.

Using devicectl 518.33, I need to check only whether two files exist in an installed development app's App Group container, without launching the app, copying the container, or reading file contents. The request uses: device info files --domain-type appGroupDataContainer --domain-identifier group.ru.ordo.app --subdirectory OrdoEnforcement --no-recurse --verbose --json-output /dev/stdout The device was wired and paired. The command returned exit 1, CoreDevice.ActionError code 3. File existence remains unknown. The local help lists appGroupDataContainer but does not specify its domain-identifier contract. Is metadata-only listing of an iOS App Group container supported? What exact identifier and access prerequisites are required? Is there a documented alternative that does not launch the app, copy its container, or read file contents?

Ok, I’m an individual Apple developer. On September 5, 2026, I submitted export-compliance documentation in App Store Connect under App Information → App Encryption Documentation. Apple’s guidance indicates that this type of review normally takes about 2 business days. It has now been more than three weeks. The document has remained in review since September 5, and no key value has been issued. I also contacted Apple Developer Support 3 times by email but I have not received an answer to my problem, or even a hint of a resolution. All I get is a canned reply blowing me off claiming "someone will get back to you." THEY NEVER DO. This 3 week "waiting for review" issue for the document is blocking me from submitting any and all app updates. I can't get an answer if it been assigned to a reviewer, or is it still waiting in a queue. I can't get an answer if the pending document is no longer applicable if I submit a new build that uses no proprietary encryption. I can't get ANY ANSWERS AT ALL. I would love to submit/update my app but EVERYTHING is on hold because Apple has had the export-compliance documentation "in review" since September 5th, 2026. Anyone else have this issue? How did you resolve it? Do you have any advice? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I'm new to xcode and am developing an iOS app. I hit the following error when build my app: MY_SHA no identity found Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code I have generated my certificate through xcode. I can see the Certificate and the private key in Keychain -> login. But it's not that private key is under the Certificate. They are listed in parallel. The certificate appears in Certificate tab but not in My Certificate Tab. Would that matter? security find-certificate -a -Z | grep -A1 "Apple Development" Gives me the certificate. But security find-identity -v -p codesigning give 0 valid identity found. Could you help me figure out what could be the reason for this? I've been stuck for several days now. Thank you so much!

Hi, I’m encountering an issue when profiling an application with xctrace and Instruments on macOS. When I try to record a trace using either the CPU Profiler or CPU Counters template, the recording fails with the following error: Failed to start the recording: configureHardwareCounters: Failed set kpc configuration: Operation not permitted. The issue was also present in the previous macOS 27.0 build (26A428) and remains after updating to macOS 27.0.1 (26A434) System: Apple M6 Mac mini macOS 27.0.1, build 26A434 Xcode 27.0, build 27A266a

Dear Apple Developer Support and Community, I am writing to bring attention to an unresolved enrollment issue that has persisted for over two months without any meaningful progress or communication from Apple. The Issue: My organization's Apple Developer Program enrollment has been stuck in "processing" status since July 27, 2026. Despite multiple contact attempts—including emails and a phone call on September 17, 2026—there has been no resolution or even proper explanation for the delay. Timeline: July 27, 2026: Organization enrolled and fee paid July 27, 2026: Documents uploaded after identity verification request September 17, 2026: Called Apple Developer Support (no concrete action taken) Today: Posting here as last resort Enrollment Details: Case ID: 20000152256511 Country: India Status: Processing (stuck for 64 days) Documents: All uploaded, no requests for additional info Key Questions I Need Answered: Why is there no communication from Apple regarding processing status? Have my documents been received and verified? What is the reason for this extended delay of over two months? When can I expect my account to be activated? Is there a senior support specialist who can look into this? Business Impact: This delay is critically impacting our organization's ability to: Launch applications on the App Store Meet business commitments Proceed with our product roadmap Request for Apple Staff: Please review case ID 20000152256511 and provide: Current status of my enrollment List of received and missing documents (if any) Specific date when account will be activated Direct contact person for escalation I appreciate the community's support and Apple's attention to this urgent matter. You can contact me through my Apple Developer account or via Apple Support channels. Thank you, Dinesh

Hi everyone, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and completed the payment, but my developer account is still showing as Pending. It’s been some time since I paid, and I’m trying to get everything set up so I can start signing and notarizing my Mac installers. Has anyone else experienced this? How long did it take for your enrollment to be approved after payment? Is there anything I need to do on my side, or should I simply wait for Apple to complete the verification? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi there, my enrollment for Apple Developer Program wasn't finished and now I don't know what to do. Apple Support doesn't contact me and does not answer my mails. The message in my account is: "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." What can I do to finish the enrollment? Thanks in advance Chris

Hi, I can't switch between Korean and English input with my Mac's physical keyboard in Device Hub. The globe button on the software keyboard switches fine. Simulate Hardware Keyboard is on. I tried Ctrl+Space and Caps Lock. Nothing changes the language in the simulator. Xcode 27.1 beta, Device Hub 27.1 beta. Anyone else seeing this or know a workaround?

Hello everyone, I'm migrating my Apple Developer account from Individual to Organization, and Developer Support hasn't replied since Sept 25. Has anyone had a similar problem? My organization's website and work email were freshly created, so there may have been early DNS issues. Sept 24: the first verification code arrived, so my mail setup works. After Apple's system error withdrew my enrollment and I resubmitted, no more codes came, and I hit "maximum number of attempts." Support reset the limit on Sept 25, but codes still didn't arrive. I've had no reply since, including on other tickets. Because the migration is stuck midway, I can't do code signing or publish builds. Development is blocked. Phone callback isn't offered for my account in Slovakia. What I need: a reset of the attempt limit so I can try again now that DNS has settled. Has anyone gotten a case escalated, or had Apple reset attempts or verify the email manually? Case number: 102970963951. Thanks, and if an Apple staff member sees this, I'd appreciate help. Marek

When answering the App Encryption Documentation questions in App Store Connect, should I follow the on-screen note that says I can specify "no encryption" in my Info.plist to skip future questions, or should I declare YES/non-exempt per Apple's own developer documentation, given that my app does actually use encryption in its code (standard, non-proprietary algorithms implemented beyond Apple's OS-level encryption)? To be specific: after completing the 3-part App Encryption Documentation questionnaire (answering that I use standard, non-proprietary encryption algorithms, and that the app won't be distributed in France), App Store Connect shows this note: "Based on your answers, you don't need to upload any documents. You can specify that you don't use encryption in the information property list (Info.plist) in your Xcode project to avoid answering encryption questions with each app submission." However, Apple's own developer documentation at developer.apple.com/documentation/security/complying-with-encryption-export-regulations states that ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption should be set to YES for any app using encryption beyond what's built into Apple's operating system — which is the case here, since my app does implement its own encryption (detailed below). These two sources appear to conflict for an app in my situation, and I want to make sure I'm declaring this correctly before continuing to resubmit builds.

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual and paid the USD 99 membership fee. The payment was successfully charged and I received the official Apple invoice. However, my Developer account still shows “Complete your purchase” / “Purchase your membership”, and I also received an email saying that I have not yet purchased the program. I do not want to submit a second payment. I have my Enrollment ID and the Apple web order / invoice details available privately for Support. Has anyone had the payment manually linked to the enrollment by Apple Developer Support? If so, which support path worked for you? Thanks.

Dear Apple Developer Community, Our app monitors a user-defined region by using startMonitoring on an instance of CLLocationManager. While it works as intended on a real device, starting with Xcode 27, this method invocation always results in >locationManager ... monitoringDidFailFor< being called. The error code is always kCLErrorDomain Code=5 but this only occurs within iOS 27 simulators. It works perfectly in iOS 26 simulators. Additionally, CLLocationManager.isMonitoringAvailable(for: CLCircularRegion.self) always returns false on these iOS 27 simulators. This issue blocks parts of our automated system tests. Is it a bug or on purpose? Thank you in advance.

account pending! 2 days ago made payment for enrollment and account still pending, any information?

I discovered a disk space issue with Xcode on my 1TB hard disk. Xcode doesn’t delete old or unused Simulators, causing them to mix and consume valuable space. Deleting them from the Window > Devices & Simulators menu didn’t work, so I used Disk Utility to find and delete them. However, they persisted. To regain disk space, I completely removed Xcode and the Developer Folder. After reinstalling Xcode, I regained about 80% of my disk space. Despite unmounting the Simulators, they remained. For those unable or unwilling to do this, the Mac App Store offers DevCleaner, a utility that removes old Xcode Cache and Simulators. Thanks. I hope I've helped someone else. Dan Uff
