After upgrading to iOS 26, the video call feature previously implemented using Voip + LiveCommunicationKit is behaving inconsistently: when the device has a passcode, the app can properly launch to the call screen, but when there's no passcode and the device is unlocked, the app fails to launch and enter the call page. How should this issue be resolved?

Hi Apple Developer Support, We’re currently facing an issue with our Apple Store Connect account due to the updated Apple Developer Program License Agreement. Our iOS builds are failing with the following error: Apple 403 detected – Access forbidden. Unable to process request – PLA Update available. You currently don't have access to this membership resource. To resolve this issue, your team's Account Holder, Sonu Chandra, must agree to the latest Program License Agreement. The challenge is that our Account Holder is currently on medical leave and unavailable, and we’ve been advised not to reach out to her during this time. While we do have multiple team admins on the account, none of them are able to accept the updated agreement. We kindly request your support in enabling one of the team admins to review and accept the updated license agreement so we can resume our iOS build and release process. Thank you for your assistance. Thank you in advance for your swift response.

According to the thread at https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/787500?answerId=863361022#863361022, we should now be able to set VMs provisioning identifiers to run developer builds. However, the identifier check seems to be case-sensitive. I have an identifier from an old VM that was input (automatically via Xcode) to the portal as all-caps. However, now it's showing up as all lower-case (on the device). When I try to launch my application, the system logs report that the provisioning identifer doesn't match, so my application will not launch: # Error log error 13:41:36.173151-0600 taskgated-helper embedded provisioning profile not valid: file:///Applications/my-app.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile error: Error Domain=CPProfileManager Code=-212 "Provisioning profile does not allow this device."

Either the check needs to be case-insensitive, or there needs to be a way to change the registration on the developer portal to properly match.

Hi All, I have recently upgraded my Silicon Mac Laptop from MacOS 15.3 (Sequoia) to MacOS 26 (Tahoe). Since existing Xcode 16.2 is not compatible with MacOS 26, i installed Xcode 26.0.1 but after the successful installaton the application is not working and quits after the erorr dialog "Loading a Plugin Failed." (Screenshot attached). I tried resatring/reinstalling the Xcode 26.0.1 but no luck. To narrow down the issue i installed the same Xcode 26.0.1 in another Silicon Mac laptop with MacOS 26(Tahoe) where no previous Xcode was installed and it went well and working as expected. With my assumption Xcode 26.0.1 breaks when the device is upgraded from sequoia to Tahoe due to some conflicting old Xcode settings/files which may not be compatible with Xcode 26 or Tahoe but i am not sure. I followed some old articles as below from the forum and nothing worked for me so far. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/660860 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/719810 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759396 Can some one shed a light on this to resolve this issue? Thanks.

My App is not compatible with iPhone 15 but can run on iPhone 14 perfectly fine, what could be the problem? I am new to App development.

We’re facing an issue when trying to install an enterprise-distributed iOS app on devices running iOS 18.5. During installation, we receive this error message: “This iOS app requires a newer version of iOS. You need to update this iPhone to iOS 26.0 to install this app.” However, in Xcode 26.0.1, our app’s minimum deployment target is explicitly set to iOS 17.6. After adding this step and the app result is unable to install the app on ios 18.5 and message getting as per the above quotes. Kindly help me out this issues.

We're unable to renew our developer program with apple because there is no renew button shown to us, neither on the website, mac app nor ios app. We followed the instructions shown to us on the app connect page on how to renew it. but when where they're saying there should be a renew button, there is none or anywhere else. How are we suppose to renew? Raised this with a support ticket but haven't received any reply, case ID: 102733260138 How to get this resolved? We don't get any "phone call" option on the support page either.

Issue : When creating a new project in Xcode 26.0 and adding a Share Extension target without modifying any code, the app crashes upon displaying the extension screen with the following error: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'The layout constraints still need update after sending -updateConstraints to <_UINavigationBarTitleControl: 0x105b9cc00; frame = (0 0; 0 0); layer = <CALayer: 0x10b834270>>. _UINavigationBarTitleControl or one of its superclasses may have overridden -updateConstraints without calling super. Or, something may have dirtied layout constraints in the middle of updating them. Both are programming errors.' Environment : Xcode 26.0 iOS 26.0 (physical device) Note: This issue does not occur when running on iOS 18.3.1 (physical device). Temporary Workaround : Adding the following implementation to the isContentValid method prevents the exception from occurring: Objective-C- (BOOL)isContentValid { // Do validation of contentText and/or NSExtensionContext attachments here if (@available(iOS 26, *)) { self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES; } return YES; } Questions : Is there any alternative way to avoid this exception? Since this crash occurs with the default implementation generated by Xcode, is there any plan to fix it in future updates?

I enroll Apple Developer Program as an individual developer, but the system show me this error. Anyone same? What should I do?

I’m having issues enrolling in the Apple Developer Program. My original Apple ID was unable to enroll due to an internal restriction, and after multiple calls with Support (including L2), I was advised to create a new Apple ID and use the same enrollment code I was awarded for being selected as a Swift Student Challenge 2025 winner. However, when I attempt to redeem the code with the new account, I receive an error stating that the code has already been redeemed. I have never successfully enrolled with the original account, so the code should not be marked as used. I’ve tried working through Support several times, but I’m still stuck. Could someone please review this issue or issue a new code so I can complete my enrollment? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, anyone managed to make this work? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundassets Trying for past few days and can't make it work. Following their official documentation, also this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3jpgZrB1uo, but it seems I am stuck at: try await AssetPackManager.shared.ensureLocalAvailability(of: assetPack) What I did: Manifest files created, info.plist configured, asset pack created and uploaded to appstoreconnect via transporter, successfully assigned to app and ready for internal testing. Added to my code: let assetPack = try await AssetPackManager.shared.assetPack(withID: "Tutorial") try await AssetPackManager.shared.ensureLocalAvailability(of: assetPack) let videoData = try AssetPackManager.shared.contents(at: "Videos/Introduction.m4v") but no luck at all.... is anywhere any demo project available to download to compare with my project?

My app worked correctly using iOS 18. I tried to down grade back to iOS 18, but there are no signed ipsw file available. How can I down grade my iphone back to iOS 18?

After combing the forums and release nodes, here are some extra notes to help other developers using Apple-Hosted Background Assets. I don't promise I got this perfect, but it may help direct you. AssetPack.Status is an OptionSet (not an enum!) - Critical API detail missing from guide It's a bitmask where values can be combined 2⁰ (1) = available to download 2¹ (2) = update available 2² (4) = up to date 2⁶ (64) = downloaded Example: status value 69 = 0b1000101 = available + up to date + downloaded Use .contains() method to check specific flags AssetPack.version property - Undocumented feature Auto-assigned by App Store Connect for Apple-hosted packs Increments with each upload of same asset pack ID No file deduplication across asset packs Same file in two packs = counts twice toward 200GB limit Best practice: create separate pack for shared files Shared namespace path requirements Asset pack ID is NOT part of file path Each file must have unique relative path across ALL app's asset packs Example: Foo/10/239/414.png and Bar/10/239/414.png are distinct and won't collide Additional url(for:) bugs beyond iOS 26.1 fix iOS 26 Beta 5: "item with same name already exists" error Workaround: Request URL for directory, then manually append filename TestFlight-only availability - Major limitation not mentioned! Apple-hosted packs currently ONLY work for internal testers on TestFlight or from App Store. Won't work from Xcode until "later this year" HTTP 400 errors expected for non-TestFlight installs ba-serve port workaround URL override port bug exists on multiple device types Use ba-serve -p 443 instead of custom ports

Hello Developers and Apple Engineers, I am encountering a persistent and highly unusual Xcode build failure when trying to use Metal APIs, specifically related to MTLCommandQueueDescriptor. I have exhausted all standard troubleshooting steps, including a complete erase and reinstall of macOS, yet the issue remains. Hardware diagnostics have passed. I am seeking insights or potential solutions. The Problem: When compiling any project (including brand new, empty macOS App projects) that attempts to set the dispatchType property on an MTLCommandQueueDescriptor instance, the build fails with the following errors: Swift // Code causing the error: let queueDescriptor = MTLCommandQueueDescriptor() queueDescriptor.dispatchType = .userInteractive // <-- Error occurs here // Compiler Errors: Value of type 'MTLCommandQueueDescriptor' has no member 'dispatchType' Cannot infer contextual base in reference to member 'userInteractive' Key Evidence - Physical Header File Corruption: The root cause appears to be a physically corrupted/incomplete SDK header file. Using the cat command in Terminal to inspect the contents of the relevant Metal header file confirms that the definition for MTLCommandQueueDescriptor is missing the dispatchType property: Bash cat /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Metal.framework/Versions/A/Headers/MTLCommandQueue.h The output consistently shows MTLCommandQueueDescriptor only having maxCommandBufferCount and logState properties, even after a fresh OS and Xcode installation. Environment: macOS: Version 26.0.1 (Build 25A362) - Clean install via Erase and Reinstall from Recovery. Xcode: Version 26.0.1 (Build 17A400) - Installed fresh from Mac App Store after OS reinstall. Mac Hardware: MacBook Pro (14-inch, M3) - (Please confirm this model info is accurate) Hardware Diagnostics: Passed (Tested at an official Apple Store). Exhaustive Troubleshooting Steps Performed (Issue Persists After All): Standard Xcode Cleaning: Clean Build Folder (Shift+Cmd+K). Manually deleted DerivedData folder (~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData). Deleted Xcode Caches (~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode, com.apple.dt.xcodebuild). Command Line Tools Path: Correctly set using sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer. Verified path using xcode-select -p. Verified version using xcodebuild -version. Multiple Xcode Versions & Install Methods Attempted (Before OS Reinstall): Xcode 26.0.1 (App Store). Xcode 26.0.1 (.xip package from Developer Portal). Xcode 26.1 Beta 3 (.xip package from Developer Portal). Performed thorough cleaning (deleted ~/Library/Developer, /Library/Developer, caches, rebooted) before each .xip installation attempt. In all cases, cat command confirmed the header file remained corrupted on disk after installation. Hardware Check: Took the Mac to an official Apple Store. Hardware diagnostics passed without any issues reported. Complete OS Reinstallation: Booted into Recovery Mode. Used Disk Utility to completely erase the internal SSD (APFS, GUID Partition Map). Reinstalled macOS 26.0.1 from Recovery. Set up the Mac as a new device (did not restore from backup). Post-OS Reinstall: Installed Xcode 26.0.1 fresh from the Mac App Store. Set command line tools path correctly. Created a brand new macOS App project (MetalTest). Pasted the minimal code to reproduce the issue into AppDelegate.swift. Build failed with the exact same errors. Ran the cat command again, confirmed the MTLCommandQueue.h file on the fresh system is STILL missing the dispatchType property. Request for Help: Given that the SDK header file corruption persists even after a complete macOS erase and reinstall, and hardware diagnostics have passed, I am at a loss for the cause or further troubleshooting steps. Has anyone encountered a similar situation where core SDK files remain corrupted despite a clean OS install and passing hardware checks? Are there any deeper system caches or states that might survive an erase/reinstall and interfere with SDK file integrity? Are there any more advanced diagnostic steps recommended? Any insights or suggestions from Apple engineers or the community would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I have previously contacted Apple Developer Support regarding this issue, case ID: 102731239935.

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

I have to admit, I resisted Apple until about one year ago! I was die hard android. The main reason for the switch was the T-Mobile mobile SMS relay the deposit of the message and the timing of some SMS messages were very suspect. The relay number would keep automatically coming back. I searched been verified and never have I seen more than 10 comments about a person or a number, this was over 100!! now let me get to my point. I was hoping someone could give me a redemption code for the Copilot so I can look into my OneDrive and see how it increases security with Apple OS. I was told on some occasions that the “wheel“ user was necessary for Apple to function however it is a unix system that needs the wheel function. I don’t think Apple iOS needs the “wheel” user so I was wanting to download that Copilot for better results. thank you for any help I receive.

I am trying to upgrade my app to use Xcode 26 and I cannot get my tests to launch. I am trying to launch tests to the simulator, and I always get this error after 300 second timeout: "encountered an error (The test runner hung before establishing connection.)" There are no other errors getting logged. I can run to the same simulator just fine, and in Xcode 16 the tests launch with no issues. The tests also run fine on an actual iPhone. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I've been running into an issue with the Xcode Intelligence assistance on the side. I am hitting limits very fast despite having both Claude and GPT plus. I've tried reauthenticating several times, turning apple intelligence off and on, nothing seems to be working.

Hello, I'm trying to remove a localization from a String Catalog in a Swift Package. How can I do that? I tried to remove the file and create a new one, but all the languages are back. The only place where I've found a reference to the languages is in Package/.swiftpm/xcode/package.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/user.xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate But I don't know how to edit this file to remove a language. Thank you, Axel
