Case 102942784381. Organization enrollment, US, blocked since early July 2026. Posting here because email support has run out of things it is able to tell me. Summary: my enrollment is held in Operations Review. I have been given two different and mutually exclusive causes, no timeline, and no escalation path. The alternative route Apple Developer Support recommended fails at the first step, before enrollment is even reached. Timeline ~Jul 8 — enrollment blocked. Jul 19 — Advisor: "We have resolved the issue for you. Please try submitting your enrollment again." It was not resolved. Aug 6, Aug 20 — case escalated to Operations twice more. No timeframe given either time. Aug 24 — Advisor: the system "continues to flag your trusted device or trusted phone number as being linked to another existing Apple Developer Program account." Sep 1 — narrowed to the trusted device. ID verification reset a third time. Same block. Sep 3 — a phone advisor told me, without qualification, that one of my devices had previously been registered to a developer account. The same day, my advisor wrote that the devices on my free Personal Team are not the cause. Sep 3 — web enrollment also fails: "Your enrollment could not be completed at this time." Sep 9 — Advisor: "There is no target date or estimated timeframe... Because this is already with the highest level of review, there is no further escalation path above them." Sep 15 — Advisor: "the ongoing review is tied to your specific Apple Account and identity verification, not the device or platform used." This contradicts Sep 3. Sep 15 — recommended alternative: have a partner enroll the company using their own separate Apple Account, then invite me as Admin. Sep 29 — my business partner attempted exactly that and could not create an Apple Account at all. Details below. Sep 30 — day 84. No change. What I have provided LLC documentation, driver's license, D-U-N-S number, serial numbers for both of my devices, and a full audit of both machines. I corrected an error in my own records the moment I found it. I have tried the Apple Developer app and the web. I have sat through three resets of the identity verification, each producing the identical block. The contradiction Sep 3, by phone: a device of mine was previously registered to another developer account. Sep 15, in writing: the review concerns the identity verification on my Apple Account, "not the device or platform used." Both cannot be true. I have asked which one to plan around and have not been given an answer. Support has also stated they cannot confirm hardware registration status or disclose the factors of the review, so no one I can reach is able to see the flag they are describing. The recommended workaround fails On Sep 29 my business partner — a separate person, listed on the LLC and the D-U-N-S record — attempted to create her own Apple Account on her own Windows PC, with her own legal name, email and phone number. Apple emailed her a code; she entered it. Apple texted her a code; she entered it. Result: "Your account cannot be created at this time." Same failure through developer.apple.com and through the standard Apple Account sign-up. Note this is not the duplicate-identifier message, which reads "an Apple Account already exists that uses it." My internet is Starlink, so we retried on a Verizon hotspot, on a different carrier entirely. Same result. So Apple verified both of her identifiers and then declined to create the account. What I am asking Can someone with visibility look at case 102942784381 and say which identifier is actually flagged — the device or the account? The two answers I have been given are incompatible. Is there any resolution path when Operations Review is described as the highest level with nothing above it, and it returns no determination? Is the account-creation failure on my partner's separate account related, or coincidental? I am not asking to bypass anything. I have supplied everything requested and I am trying to pay the $99 membership and ship a finished application. I would take a definitive "no" over another indefinite hold. Happy to provide serial numbers, DSID, screenshots or anything else privately.

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...

Since upgrading to XCode 27, I can no longer select or install build destinations, and my own devices also no longer show up in the lists. The destinations dropdown is completely empty. The device hub shows some installed simulators, but I can't select them as build destinations, which means I can not build or compile anything. Even the usualy generic iOS or MacOS device destinations are absent, meaning I essentially can't work on projects.

Since 11 September 2026, the EU Cyber Resilience Act requires anyone selling software in the EU - including paid iOS and Mac apps - to report actively exploited vulnerabilities in their products: an early warning within 24 hours, a notification within 72 hours, through ENISA's reporting platform. It also covers app versions already on sale. The practical first question for most of us is "does anything I ship depend on a package with a known exploited vulnerability?" I couldn't find a tool that treats Swift Package Manager as a first-class ecosystem, so I wrote a small open-source one: reads Package.resolved (v1-v3) and Podfile.lock writes a CycloneDX 1.6 SBOM (useful later for the CRA technical documentation) checks each pinned package against OSV, and marks findings as exploited if CISA's KEV list or ENISA's EUVD lists them runs locally, in Xcode Cloud or as a GitHub Action, and only fails the build on exploited issues by default pipx install cra-scan GitHub repo (Apache-2.0, no dependencies) Two things worth knowing: micro and small companies can't be fined for missing the 24-hour early warning (Art. 64), but the 72-hour notification still applies. The rest of the CRA (technical file, support period, CE marking) applies from 11 December 2027, and for most apps it's self-assessment. How are others approaching this? Feedback on missed matches is very welcome, especially for CocoaPods, which the tool can't match yet.

I'm blocked trying to run/debug an app on a physical Apple Watch. The iPhone connects to Xcode perfectly over USB and is fully trusted, but the paired Watch never shows up in Xcode, and because of that the Developer Mode toggle never appears on the watch itself. Environment Mac: MacOS 26.4 Xcode: 26.5 iPhone: iPhone 17, iOS 26.4 — connected to Mac via USB, trusted Apple Watch: Ultra 3, watchOS 26.3 Developer Mode: enabled on iPhone Watch is paired and working normally in the iPhone Watch app What happens In Xcode → Window → Devices and Simulators, only the iPhone ("Brian") shows under Connected, with its installed apps listed correctly. The paired Apple Watch does not appear under it or as a separate entry. On the watch, Settings → Privacy & Security has no Developer Mode item. I understand this only surfaces after Xcode successfully connects to the watch, so I believe the missing Xcode connection is the root cause. When I first connected the iPhone via cable, a Trust prompt did appear on the watch and I accepted it. What I've already tried Enabled Developer Mode on iPhone (toggled off/on, with restarts) Connected iPhone via USB and confirmed Trust on both iPhone and watch Restarted Mac, iPhone, and watch multiple times Confirmed Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are on across all three devices Kept the watch unlocked and on my wrist, close to the iPhone and Mac Despite this, the watch never appears in Xcode and the Developer Mode toggle never surfaces on watchOS. Questions Is this the known Xcode 26 / watchOS 26 tunneling/discovery regression, or is something else going on in my setup? Is there an Apple-supported way to force Xcode to re-discover a paired watch without unpairing it from the iPhone? Has any specific combination of macOS / Xcode / watchOS versions reliably resolved this for anyone? Any guidance appreciated. Happy to file a Feedback Assistant report and share the ID if useful.

Hello Apple Developer Support Community, My Apple Developer Program membership for my organization, Innodem Private Limited, expired on September 26, 2026. I am the Account Holder for the organization. However, when I open the Membership Details page, I do not see any “Renew Membership” option. My membership details are: Entity Name: Innodem Private Limited Program: Apple Developer Program Enrolled as: Organization Role: Account Holder Team ID: L936536Z94 Membership Expiration Date: September 26, 2026 Annual Fee: US$99 The App Store Connect page shows that the Developer Program Membership has expired and that the apps have been removed from the App Store until the membership is renewed. Could someone please guide me on how I can renew the existing membership? I want to renew the current organization membership rather than create a new developer account. Thank you.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I am seeking an update regarding my Apple Developer Program organization enrollment for Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology (RSET), India. My enrollment process has been pending for around two months, and I have still not received a clear update regarding the current status. Enrollment ID: 479458S66X Organization: Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology Country: India I have already contacted Apple Developer Support and followed up regarding this issue. However, I have not received a response to my recent follow-ups. The enrollment is required for us to publish our college's Flutter application on the Apple App Store. Because the organization enrollment is still pending, we are unable to proceed with publishing the application. The required D-U-N-S-related process has also been completed with Dun & Bradstreet. Could an Apple Developer Support representative please provide an update on the current status of my enrollment and let me know if any additional documents or verification are required from my side? As this issue has already been pending for around two months, I would greatly appreciate an update or escalation to the appropriate enrollment team.

Hi there! I'm pretty new in coding. Right now I'm just vibe coding, trying to understand what happens and how does this works. I made a simple app in Swift Playground on my iPad Mini A17 Pro, and everything works good so far when I tap the Play (Run) button, except text input: every text field only shows the blinking cursor and let me paste, but the virtual keyboard don't appear, and even connecting a physical keyboard has no better outcome. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Hi there, I’m currently developing an App Playground for the Swift Student Challenge, and a core feature of my playground uses SpeechAnalyzer with SpeechTranscriber from Apple’s Speech framework to transcribe microphone input to text. I understand that SpeechTranscriber performs transcription on-device and does not use the internet. However, from the dev documentation for AssetInventory, it looks like the required language/model assets may first need to be downloaded from Apple’s servers for devices that may not have it installed by default. Since Swift Student Challenge submissions are evaluated offline, I’m unsure how this should be handled. My main questions are: If the device on which my playground is tested does not already have the required SpeechTranscriber asset installed, will transcription fail when the submission is run offline? Is it safe for my submission to depend on SpeechAnalyzer / SpeechTranscriber as a core feature, or should I redesign it to work even if it is unavailable? Thank you!! :)

On Xcode 26 and earlier versions, two-finger touches were possible on Simulator by holding down the option key. On Xcode 27 with Device Hub, this is no longer possible. While the trackpad can be used for pinch and rotate gestures, two-finger taps and two-finger pans are not possible. This is a major regression that renders our app basically unusable in Device Hub. We rely on two-finger tap and pan gestures to navigate our 3D models. Not being able to do this in Device Hub and in Xcode previews would be a huge loss. Is this actually no longer supported or am I missing something?

I'm setting up tests for my Xcode Multiplatform App. To create a test environment I created a docker image that I want to run an XCTestCase against. I understand I'd have to make sure Docker is running before running the test. That said I have a permission denied when trying to connect to the docker daemon socket. Background: I'm using a makefile to store the commands and planned to run the docker build and docker run commands in the setUpWithError while running the docker kill command in tearDownWithError. To run the commands I used Process to execute the shell commands. I'm currently doing this is a test function to get it up and going. Issue: When I try to run the docker command Xcode tells me that it doesn't give me the permission to run it: docker: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/containers/create?name=remarkable": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: operation not permitted. See 'docker run --help'. I only want to use Docker to run this specific XCTestCase. Is there anyway to run it from here JUST for the test? Or do I need to manually run docker and kill it before/after I run these tests? Thanks for any help.

Hi Team, I’m trying to sign in to my company’s Apple Developer account using padmavathisiddi@negentropyllc, but I’m receiving the following message: “This Apple Account has been locked for security reasons. You must unlock your account before signing in.” When I click Unlock Account, I either receive: “503 Service Temporarily Unavailable” “Apple ID is not valid or unrecognized” It’s possible the account was locked after multiple unsuccessful login attempts. Could you please help us understand how we can unlock the account and restore access to the Apple Developer account? Thank you for your assistance. Best, Padma

I am launching an app in 1 month, but logging back into my apple account I was faced with barriers. I'm the Account Holder for a small organization enrolled in the Apple Developer Program with a current paid membership. The organization completed D-U-N-S and Apple's verification, and I need to get back into this account. The Apple Account tied to the membership shows "This account has been locked for security reasons." Every recovery path fails with "This Apple Account is not valid or not supported": Password reset at iforgot.apple.com Unlock and request access at iforgot.apple.com/unlock "Request Access" from the lock alert itself I have also tried to open a case with Apple Support through getsupport.apple.com and the Apple Support app. Both require the affected account's email before continuing, and both reject it with the same error, so I cannot get a case opened. The account owner is ready to verify identity and has the trusted phone number and a signed-in device. I'm asking for one thing: a path to a human at Apple who can look up this account, verify the owner, and restore access. I need advice on how to restore my organizations apple account, and any potential solutions.

Boa tarde desde já solicito a ajuda de vocês com a seguinte questão, eu solicitei a inscrição na Apple developer a inscrição foi aceita pela mesma, logo aceitei os termos o contrato conforme solicitado, então coloquei a forma de pagamento, mais deram um prazo de até 48 horas para análise e até o seguinte momento já se passaram mais de 72 horas e nada ainda. Gostaria de uma resolução.

Hi, When I run a build and select my iPhone, I get this error: "The capability “Fetch Extended Device Info” is not supported by this device." Although it works correctly when I run the build on the Simulator on my Mac. I recently updated my iPhone to iOS 27.2. Could this be the problem? Is there any way to fix it, or should I wait for an Xcode update? I tried running it in version Xcode 26.5 and 27Beta Thanks!

Dear Xcode Team, Please consider adding an option to position the Coding Assistant on the right side of the editor. Currently, when the assistant panel is open, it makes it difficult to access the Project Navigator at the same time. Having the ability to move the Coding Assistant to the right side would allow developers to keep the Project Navigator visible while interacting with the assistant, improving workflow and efficiency. Thank you

Filed a feature request in feedback assistant, but starting a discussion here as well since I'm probably not the only one. The issue I have is that coding assistant and previews seem to be mutually exclusive. That means that when I'm iterating on UI, I either have to rely on the coding assistant showing me preview screenshots (cannot interact), firing up Device Hub (have to manually kick off a build after each change) or manually opening the associated preview (requires a lot of hoping back and forth). This feels inefficient and means I have to hop around and manage my windows and tabs more. A slight work around is to open a split view with the file and preview there. This layout is inefficient and clunky. I would love if Xcode supported a pinned preview next to coding assistant (or automatically showed the relevant one). I imagine this working just like showing a preview next to a file cmd + opt + return hides/shows the preview. FB23219611

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice regarding an Apple Developer Program membership issue. I originally had an Individual membership, which I recently converted to an Organization membership for my business. However, my business is a French micro-entreprise / entreprise individuelle (sole proprietorship). I subsequently discovered that Apple’s documentation states that an individual or sole proprietor/single-person business should enroll as an Individual. The Organization membership is also causing problems with the tax forms because my business is not a separate legal entity from myself. Apple Developer Support confirmed that Organization → Individual conversion is not supported. My app is currently only in TestFlight. It has never been released on the App Store and has no IAP or subscriptions submitted for review. I’m therefore considering creating a new Apple Account and enrolling again in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual, then recreating the app under that account. Has anyone been in this situation? In particular: Can the same person enroll in a new Individual Developer Program membership using a different Apple Account while still being the Account Holder of an existing Organization membership? Are there any identity-verification issues when doing this? Is creating a new Individual membership the recommended solution when an Organization membership cannot be converted back? I already have an open case with Apple Developer Support but haven’t received clarification yet. Thanks for any advice or experience with a similar situation.

Hi, I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but for some reason I’m unable to complete the payment. Initially, my enrollment status remained pending, nothing happened fo weeks so I tried again, but now I’m getting an error saying that the payment could not be processed. My payment method is valid and works without issues on other platforms. Could you please check if there is any issue with my Apple Developer account or if you need any additional information from me to complete the enrollment? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to find out how long it typically takes for Senior Advisors or the Operations Team to resolve a broken membership sync, as we have been stuck with a production outage for over two days. Our annual membership was paid for and successfully processed back on August 24th. Everything seemed fine, and we had no warnings or emails from Apple indicating any issues. This past weekend, our users suddenly started reporting that they weren't receiving critical push notifications. When I logged into the developer dashboard to investigate, I was shocked to see a prompt telling us we needed to enroll. However, when I tried clicking through to re-enroll, the portal blocked me, stating I was already an account holder on a membership. I called phone support immediately. The first agent simply told me our team profile was "not active" and told me to wait for an email. After hearing nothing, I called back the next day. The second agent told me they were seeing a "chargeback" flag on their end and told me to check with my bank. I verified everything with our financial institution right away—the payment cleared perfectly over a month ago on August 24th, and there is absolutely no dispute or chargeback on our side. The case has now been escalated to the Operations Team, but it has been over two days of total silence. Our push notification services are completely down, causing a massive headache for our live app users. Has anyone else experienced this exact loop where the system says you aren't active but won't let you re-enroll? If you managed to get a Senior Advisor to fix this false chargeback flag, how long did it take, and is there any way to get them to temporarily restore push services while they fix their billing database? Thanks for any advice. Case ID 102978658957.
