I purchased the Apple Developer Program on March 26, 2026. Payment went through immediately. I have the invoice (UA31019584), the order confirmation (W1318171870), and €99 charged to my card. Apple had no problem taking my money within seconds. Five days later: Account status: Pending Portal still says "Purchase your membership" and asks me to pay again App Store Connect: inaccessible TestFlight: inaccessible I contacted Apple Developer Support on day one — both by email and callback request. I now have three open cases and have received exactly zero responses: Case ID: 102856462218 — Program Purchase and Renewal Case ID: 102853916886 — Program Purchase and Renewal Case ID: 102853919455 — Program Enrolment Not a single acknowledgment. Not even an automated "we're looking into it." Nothing. My app is built and ready. I have testers waiting. I cannot distribute anything — not even through TestFlight — because Apple took my payment and then stopped responding. I see dozens of threads on this forum from developers with the exact same problem going back months. Paid memberships stuck on Pending, no activation, support completely unresponsive. This is not an isolated case — this is a systemic failure in the enrollment system that Apple has apparently chosen to ignore. I am based in the EU and I am fully prepared to pursue this through consumer protection channels if this is not resolved. You cannot charge someone for a service and then refuse to provide it or even respond to inquiries. For the world's biggest tech company that is built on software, this is practically a joke. I don't remember the last time seeing an issue like this from any other company in my whole life living on this planet. New developers practically cannot join and publish apps on Apple anymore. But if you are happy to pay, they will let you. And after payment, they will put a notice at the top reminding you to 'complete your purchase' and pay again. Is this really Apple or has this company been hijacked by some retard?

I added a workflow and it seemed to work fine so lets add them all ! I added a second workflow and it seems to see the repository but not the branches in the repository. I have googled and even asked AI. Checked and it's installed with all repo access on Github Removing the repo .. adding it back Deleting the workflow and adding it back Adding the workflow from the browser Adding the workflow from XCode Nothing seems to work, but the first one I created works. Is there paid support for Xcode Cloud ? I s there a version control that works better with Xcode Cloud? Any suggestions are appreciated.

When opening a project or workspace in Xcode 26.4 the most recently active scheme is not restored. Instead, the scheme reverts to the first scheme in the list. I've tried opening and closing Xcode a few times, and removing the user data for a workspace. No luck. Any suggestions or workarounds?

Hello, I am facing a critical technical blocker regarding the Family Controls (Screen Time API) entitlement for my app extensions. Current Situation: My parent app (com.hayashikento.FocusPact) is already approved for the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement. However, the associated DeviceActivityMonitorExtension (com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor) and ReportExtension (com.hayashikento.FocusPact.ReportExtension) are still pending entitlement approval. Technical Issue: Because the extensions lack the Distribution entitlement, ManagedSettings and DeviceActivity triggers (like intervalWillEndWarning) are ignored by the system when testing via TestFlight or in a non-development environment. As a result, I am unable to verify the core "automatic re-blocking" logic and "usage reporting" features in a real-world scenario. This has completely halted the final QA and TestFlight phase of my project. Requests: Could an Apple engineer verify if these extension IDs can be linked to my existing approved parent app entitlement? Is there a specific process to expedite the "linking" of extensions when the main app is already authorized? App Details: Parent App Bundle ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact Extension IDs: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor, com.hayashikento.FocusPact.ReportExtension Apple ID (App)6759132649 I have already submitted the web request forms, but the lack of synchronization between the parent app and extensions is preventing my MVP launch. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Each time I launch a Debug version of the app on iOS Simulator, I see the Launch Screen presented and then about a 30-second delay before the app is responsive and debug output appears in the console panel. Filed FB22345091

Im working on my laptop with Mac OS 15.7.5 and Im using Xcode 26.0.1 and Im trying to simulate the code I've written. It only allows me to simulate on iPhone 16e but it never finishes loading, I also tried using my personal iPhone as a simulator but that doesn't work either. Could it possibly be my storage on why the simulators don't work?

I am developing a productivity app called "FocusPact" using the Screen Time API (Family Controls). Current Status: The parent app bundle ID (com.hayashikento.FocusPact) has already been approved for the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement. I have recently submitted a new request for the DeviceActivityMonitorExtension bundle ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor. The Issue: Currently, the extension only works while debugging with Xcode (Development entitlement). When the device is disconnected, the intervalWillEndWarning and intervalDidEnd triggers are ignored by the system because the Extension ID lacks the Distribution entitlement. This is a critical blocker for my MVP testing phase on TestFlight, as I cannot verify the core "automatic re-blocking" logic in a real-world environment. Request: Could any Apple staff or engineers help expedite the linking of this extension ID to my existing approved entitlement? Parent App ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact Extension ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance to resolve this so I can proceed with user testing. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people had this issue already, I just can't find a concise reply with what I should do. I'm trying to enroll to the developer program, I live in an EU country. It requires me to enter my Driver's License, I also tried my official document as per online recommendation, but it didn't work. I'm legal here, but not a citizen or EU passport holder. I don't know what to do as this is my only official address.

I recently released version 8.5.4 (build 188) using Cloud Build. During testing via TestFlight, the app worked correctly on an iPhone 6 running iOS 12.5.8. However, after the app was published on the App Store, I found that the same version does not open at all on iOS 12 devices. Previously, earlier versions (such as 8.5.3) were functioning properly on iOS 12. My app’s minimum deployment target is set to iOS 12.0. This issue appears only with the App Store version, while the TestFlight version works fine on the same device. Due to this, I have paused the phased release of version 8.5.4 to prevent further impact on users still running iOS 12. I would like guidance on the following: 1. Has there been any recent change or limitation affecting apps targeting iOS 12 on the App Store? 2. Is there a way to prevent iOS 12 users from downloading version 8.5.4 while allowing them to continue using version 8.5.3? 3. Is there any recommended approach to ensure compatibility or restrict distribution based on iOS version? If I had known this issue in advance, I would have adjusted the deployment target accordingly before release. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am attempting to setup Xcode Cloud for my project. The repository for the project is in Azure Devops. When I look on the internet, I get the answer: Go to AppstoreConnect, your app, Xcode Cloud and configure the repo. However, in my version of Xcode I am immediately sent back to Xcode to configure it. When looking in this forum, I see some old Posts from 2022 and 2024 without any answer. I assume I need to pick 'Github Enterprise' as the GIT provider. If I do, It attempts to connect to devops.azure.com, which sounds about right. But then I get a permission error. I would like to configure Xcode Cloud to access Azure Devops using one of the PATs that I have configured. Has anybody been able to Mae this work? Or should I make a Mirror Repo in Github (ir BitBucket or Gitlab) and let Apple connect to that? Kind regards Wouter

When signing in on the Apple Developer website with the phone number-based account I created when I was setting up my Mac, this error message is shown: Your Apple ID is not eligible to use this application at this time. I've seen other people with this problem and I hope that we will be able to log in using phone number accounts soon. For now, creating a new email-based account seems to be the only solution, but I don't want to do that 😂

I enrolled for the Apple Developer Program last Thursday (Feb 12) - no status update apart from a message I've seen others have thus processed payment: Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process. I've reached out to support twice now, no luck. Anything that worked for someone in the same boat? I have a test group planned and would need to apply my app for testflight as soon as possible to leave some headroom.

I'm trying to download the iOS 26.2 simulator, but it fails both in Xcode and via the command line. When I run: xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 26.2 -exportPath ~/Downloads It returns: iOS 26.2 is not available for download. I would like to know: Why iOS 26.2 simulator cannot be downloaded at the moment. Whether iOS 26.2 simulator is still available, or if it has been removed or replaced. How to properly get and install the iOS 26.2 simulator. Any official explanation or solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am experiencing a UI issue after migrating my app from Xcode 16 to Xcode 26. In my implementation, I have a toolbar that contains multiple buttons along with a dropdown menu. The hierarchy for dropdown is as follows: **Toolbar → ToolbarItem → View → Menu → Picker ** Prior to Xcode 26, this setup worked smoothly in production builds. The dropdown (Menu + Picker) behaves as expected, and selecting a value triggers loading a dataset containing thousands of records on the screen. However, after upgrading to Xcode 26, I am observing an animation glitch when dismissing the dropdown after a selection is made. Specifically, the dropdown briefly shows a “capsule-like” animation artifact during dismissal, which persists for a few seconds. This visual issue is noticeable and negatively impacts the perceived performance and user experience of the app. This issue is occurring in an already released app built with Xcode 26. Questions: Is this a known issue or regression in Xcode 26 / SwiftUI Menu or Picker components? If yes, are there any known fixes or upcoming Xcode versions where this is resolved? If not, what would be the recommended approach to eliminate or minimize this animation glitch when dismissing the dropdown? Additional Context: The issue appears only after migration to Xcode 26. The dataset loaded after selection is large (thousands of records). The glitch specifically occurs during the dismissal animation of the Menu/Picker. Any guidance or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

For difficult reasons I won’t get into, I ended up manually downloading the latest iOS 26 simulator runtime. I now have a file named 78756498-8AB4-4E5A-986C-7AA435758657.aar copied to my Mac. How do I get this archive installed so Xcode 26 recognizes it as a proper simulator runtime component? All searching I‘ve done for manually installing simulators references dmg files and older versions of Xcode. There’s no mention of aar files. When I tried the command: sudo xcrun simctl runtime add ./78756498-8AB4-4E5A-986C-7AA435758657.aar I get the result: An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=22): Error while creating AEA backend Invalid argument I tried to use Archive Utility to open the file but that just says it is unable to expand the file. I even tried renaming the file with a dmg extension and then tried mounting the file and I get the same “AEA backend” error. My Mac doesn’t have sufficient Internet access to let me download and install this normally through Xcode. I need to find a way to get this file installed manually.

When I was reading a topic written by somebody, suddenly, the web browser (Safari) directed me to this Unauthorized error page. What the hell is this, Apple, Inc? It seems that things are quite chaotic about what Apple, Inc. does these days. I hope they will manage to sort things out.
