Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a persistent issue when trying to download the iOS Simulator Runtime 26.1 on Xcode (version 26.1). The download always fails with the following error Download failed due to a bad URL. (Catalog download for com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime) Domain: com.apple.MobileAssetError.Download Code: 49 I’m located in Brazil, so I initially thought it might be region-related, but I’ve already tried several attempts to fix it, including: Using VPNs for the US and Europe Installing the Xcode 26.2 beta Downgrading Xcode to earlier versions Reinstalling the same version of Xcode Restarting Xcode and my Mac Switching networks Clearing simulator support/device files Unfortunately, nothing has resolved the issue. Is anyone else facing this problem? Does anyone know a workaround or a manual way to download/install the iOS 26.1 simulator runtime? Thanks in advance!

I am profiling a simple SwiftUI test app on my new iPhone through my new MacBook Pro and everything is version 26.2 (iOS, macOS, Xcode). I run Instruments with the SwiftUI template using all of the default settings and get absolutely zero data after interacting with the app for about 20 seconds. Using the Time Profiler template yields trace data. Trying the SwiftUI template again with the sample Landmarks app has the same issue as my app.

Hello, I am experiencing a critical issue with my Apple Developer Program account. I successfully enrolled months ago, and my subscription is active as per my account details. However, I am now unable to access my developer membership features, and when I sign into my account it redirects me to the enrollment page as if I had never enrolled. Key details of the issue: Active subscription: My Apple Developer Program membership is active and set to renew on 17 October 2025. The subscription page confirms this, and the payment was successfully processed. REVOKED CERTIFICATES: Certificates I created weeks ago have been revoked without any explanation or notification. No email notifications: I have not received any communication from Apple regarding issues with my account or certificates. Attempts to Resolve: Cleared cookies and cache. Tried logging in on multiple devices and browsers. Signed out of all devices and logged back in. Could someone please assist me in understanding why my account is behaving this way? Is there a specific team or channel I should contact to escalate this issue? Thank you in advance for your help!

In my app I want to integrate a personilized Lock Screen. Does anybody know how that works?

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.

I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program through the web, but I am encountering an issue. When I click "Enroll," I receive the following message: "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time."

Current issue (happening now) I get blocked immediately after entering my identity details and address. Apple Developer app (iPhone) I start the enrollment flow. After identity verification, I enter my address (Street Address, City/Town, State/Province, Postal/Zip, Phone). As soon as I tap Continue, I get: Contact Us to Continue There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue. Please contact support. I cannot proceed past this point. Web enrollment (developer.apple.com) When I try on the web, I get: Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time. This happens right after providing identity + address (before I can proceed further). Previous timeline (related background) ~3 months ago I incorporated my company in Türkiye (Ltd. Şti.) and tried to enroll as an organization. What happened First attempt on the web: enrollment was approved, but I couldn’t complete payment. Support told me to reset and try via the Developer app. Developer app enrollment then requested identity + “association with the enrolling entity” and company documents: Government-issued photo ID Employment/association verification Commercial registry extract (signed/stamped) Articles of association Tax office + tax number document Signatory circular I uploaded the requested documents. Apple replied that Turkish documents were unsupported and asked for “solicitor-certified English translations.” I uploaded English translations that were sworn-translator stamped. Why the translations were not notarized In Türkiye, due to the current economic situation, notarizing multiple translated corporate documents can cost hundreds of USD. Because of that, I initially provided sworn-translator certified (stamped) English translations rather than notarized translations. The translation office I worked with told me they regularly prepare company document translations for Apple Developer Program enrollments and that translator-certified translations are usually sufficient. My plan was to get everything notarized immediately if Apple explicitly requested notarization again or clarified that notarization was mandatory. About a week later, I received: Your enrollment request for your company has been declined. I followed up multiple times asking what exact requirement was not met (translation certification type, identity/association verification, etc.). Phone support said the decision was final and they could not disclose the reason. Additional detail discovered after the decline (document error fixed) After the decline, I reviewed all documents line-by-line and found a serious issue in my signatory circular: My company was incorporated on 27.08.2025. The signatory circular incorrectly stated that my authority started on 27.08.2023 (two years earlier). This was a notary/document preparation error. I immediately returned to the notary and had it corrected. They acknowledged the mistake, and I can obtain an official written statement confirming the correction if needed. However, Apple has not provided a channel to submit corrected documents, and support is not giving a path forward. What I’m asking the community Has anyone seen the “Contact Us to Continue” message triggered at the identity/address step and successfully fixed it? If yes, what specifically solved it? Is this typically an Apple Account eligibility/restriction flag, or can it be caused by address/region verification format issues? After an organization enrollment is declined, is there a known path to re-apply successfully (e.g., notarized translations vs translator-stamped, or having a different authorized representative apply as the Account Holder)? If documents were corrected after the decline (like the notary error above), is there any supported way to resubmit without starting from zero? Any concrete guidance would help. Thank you.

Hi! I have a bigger Xcode project that has multiple targets: the main app (MainApp) helper command line tool (HelperTool) The project also lists multiple package dependencies via SwiftPM and these dependencies have dependencies between themselves. One of such packages produces a dynamic library MyFramework which is a dependency for both the main app and the HelperTool which has it listed under Build Phases > Dependencies as well as under Link with Frameworks. This builds just fine, but the issue somes when I want to add another target called AdditionalHelperTool which it has pretty much the same dependencies as HelperTool. When I add this second target, I start running into issues like the following: Multiple commands produce '[...]/Build/Products/Debug/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/Versions/A' Target 'HelperTool' (project 'MyApp') has copy command from '[...]/Build/Products/Debug/PackageFrameworks/MyFramework.framework' to '[...]/Build/Products/Debug/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework' Target 'AdditionalHelperTool' (project 'MyApp') has copy command from '[...]/Build/Products/Debug/PackageFrameworks/MyFramework.framework' to '[...]/Build/Products/Debug/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework'` It seems that Xcode runs the build of both targets separately and it sees a conflict given that both targets have same dependencies that it's trying to built separately. Has anyone encountered something similar? Can anyone suggest a solution for this?

When creating an icon using icon composer, I cant upload a build to testflight/App Store connect. Running on device from Xcode works fine, but as soon as I archive and upload to App Store Connect, I get an error saying the icon contains an alpha channel

@Apple Developer Support Hello, It has now been more than 72 hours since my Apple Developer Program purchase. The payment was completed and the invoice was issued. Order Number: W1302770460 I have not received any response to my previous support requests, and my membership is still not active. Please escalate this case and complete the manual activation of my membership as soon as possible. Thank you.

My app start up has became horrid. It takes 1 minute to open SQLlite database for my rust core. Impossible to work... I have Address Sanitizer, Thread Perf Checker and Thread Sanitizer disabled...

It keeps saying authorisaion failed on Apple end. I tried use different WiFi still same & different Apple ID it does same thing. Anyone know what going on??

After updated to Tahoe 26.2 and Xcode 26.2 it seems to have forgotten the Model Provider I had configured. I create a new Model Provider and it works fine, until I exit Xcode. When I open Xcode again my Model Provider is gone. It all worked fine before I did the updates of MacOS and Xcode.

Hi there! I am not a coder, but I built an app in ADALO just for in-house use in my company, PetroImaging. The app looked the way I wanted it to in the preview mode in ADALO, but when my app was approved and ready for download in the app store, a lot of content was missing. Many buttons that linked to screens were just gone - even though they were there in the preview and the buttons are formatted correctly in adalo. How can I get my content that I need back on my app so the employees can being using it?

For un unknown reason, my Apple ID has been blocked. Since I can not connect anymore to my developer account ! I've asked to unblock it (iforgot.apple.com) but according to support the unblock sequence is not send because this Apple ID is in used. I need help to unblock my ID in order to manage my app.... note : I use an another account to post this messages.

Out of nowhere I got some red banner on top of my iPhone 13 mini / iOS 17.5. I cannot pin point the root cause of this. What I can say is that it only happens to Simulators of a certain type, e.g. iPhone 12 and 13 mini, but not iPhone 14 for example. I have installed Xcode 26.1.0 and 26.1.1, out of which 26.1.0 is selected: $ xcode-select -p /Applications/Xcode-26.1.0.app/Contents/Developer And following runtimes: $ xcrun simctl runtime list == Disk Images == -- iOS -- iOS 17.5 (21F79) - CF933623-A258-44F8-B248-C0F25C0C343B (Ready) iOS 26.1 (23B80) - D11C3CDC-EE3D-44CC-8B92-9B7D00B54B0B (Ready) Total Disk Images: 2 (14.6G) Installing the newer 26.1 23B86 runtime doesn't help either.

Hello there. My enrollment process with ID N2XM45Y7RA is stuck, even if all requirements are fulfilled. Nothing... a month guys? What can I do - or who do I contact.??????

I have an MAUI based application build and ready for the distribution. The application is working perfectly in the debug environment on the simulator. So the app logic is working correctly as expected without any errors. But when a release build is created the application crashes on the simulator and physical device. I'm developing the application using .Net 10 framework with target device iOS 26. The Supported OS Platform is set to 15.0 in csproj file. Also have the entitlements. plist file set in the csproj. The IDe used is Visual Studio Code for Mac (MAC OS). The application uses MSAL for the login / authentication purpose (Microsoft.Identity.Client) and SQLite Database (Sqlite-net-pcl) Message: Kindly guide me to build the application correctly in release version and get the ipa file ready for the in house distribution that could be deployed correctly on the physical device with iOS 18 / 26.
