.xcstrings catalog creates a massive git diff upon the slightest change
Every time I touch (add a key, remove a key, even add a key, then remove it) the Strings Catalog .xcstrings file, it re-renders the entire file and creates a 18 thousand line dif. When I looked closer, it changes the whitespace before colons! "version": "1.0" "version" : "1.0" it does so for every JSON node. This makes the whole feature useless, because we wont be able to see what we changed upon code review (diff is unprintable in the github interface) and every time we change a single translation, we will be stacking 18k lines diff. Not to mention merge conflicts?

Failed to Purchase Developer Account although enrollment was successful
Good Afternoon, I received an official email from Apple saying "Your enrollment request has been accepted. To complete your organization's enrollment in the Apple Developer Program, please sign in to your developer account to review and accept the Apple Developer Program License Agreement, and complete your membership purchase." However as i reach the payment page and enter my credit card details, it rejects the credit card, Things i have tried: Payment with 3 other credit cards over 3 different devices (incase any of that was an affecting factor) Using an apple device to reach the payment page Waiting 1.5 weeks incase it is a server issue

7 Weeks of "Innovation": Waiting for a simple enrollment
Today marks 7 weeks of waiting for my enrollment confirmation. Imagine being one of the world's largest companies, yet people who want to cooperate with you have to wait 7 weeks or more just to get developer status. I am speechless… how much longer can this continue? This is not meant as criticism, but simply a cry from my soul as a developer who just wants to start working

Apple Developer Program Enrollment – Approval Time
I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program about 7 days ago, but my account is still showing as “Pending,” and I haven’t received any updates yet. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support via email, but I haven’t heard back so far. I wanted to check if this waiting period is typical, or if I should take any additional steps to complete the enrollment process. Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently? Any guidance on the usual approval timeline would be appreciated.

Organization enrollment Pending — paid twice, no membership confirmation email — Case ID 102844508761
Hi Apple Developer Support team, I am writing because I have exhausted every available support channel and need urgent manual intervention. Organization: Bedrock Residences Limited Apple ID: Temitope Moronkeji Case ID: 102844508761 Enrollment ID 333LLR3M2M Issue started: March 14, 2026 What happened: I enrolled Bedrock Residences Limited in the Apple Developer Program as an organization. I have completed the $99 payment twice. Both times I received the purchase acknowledgement email confirming the order. Neither time did I receive the membership confirmation email. My account has remained on Pending status for over 10 days. What I have tried: Contacted Apple Developer Support via email on March 14 and March 20 Zero response on both occasions The support portal will not allow me to reply to or update Case ID 102844508761 The "Get More Help" option on the support page does not allow me to submit a new request Current status: Account shows Pending "Complete your purchase" prompt still appears despite two completed payments No access to App Store Connect No membership confirmation email received on either attempt Two $99 charges on my card with nothing to show for it This is blocking an active iOS app launch for our organization. Based on reports from other developers on this forum, this appears to be a backend activation failure on Apple's side and requires manual intervention by the Developer Enrollment team. I am requesting: Manual activation of the Bedrock Residences Limited developer account Confirmation of which payment to apply and refund of the duplicate charge A direct callback or email response — not an automated reply I have been patient for 10 days. Please help.

Urgent: Bundle ID Case-Sensitivity Mismatch for Approved Family Controls Entitlement
[Reply to DTS Engineer] Thank you for looking into this. I have identified the root cause of the issue: it is a Bundle ID case-sensitivity mismatch. My parent app was approved as com.hayashikento.FocusPact (Capitalized), but I accidentally requested the Configuration Extension with a lowercase ID (com.hayashikento.focuspact...). This causes a "Prefix Mismatch" error in Xcode, preventing me from archiving the app. To fix this, I have just submitted a new entitlement request with the corrected capitalized ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.ShieldConfigurationExtension Since the core functionality was already approved under the lowercase ID, could you please expedite the approval for this capitalized version? This technical correction is the only thing blocking my TestFlight distribution. Thank you for your support!

Delayed Developer Account Activation After payment
My sister paid for my Apple developer account with her credit card on the 12th of March, 2026. Apple promised to work on the account within 48 hours. Its been 11 days now and nothing from Apple. I even semt a support request email which was supposed to be responded to within 48 hours too, but nothing after days. Its quiet disappointing that it takes this long to verify a service I'm paying for. Google charges 25 dollars and still managed to activate a developers account almost immediately. Yet, 99 USD with apple amd this delay is what I get. This is wrong Please help review my account and activate my profile Thank you

26.4 RC documentation omits Foundation?!
I just installed Xcode 26.4 RC (17E192) yesterday and found that the documentation window now omits Foundation for me. Searching for "Date" finds the date property from GameKit, Core Data, ... but no Date type. I was previously using 26.4 beta and this was not the case. Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

Payment processed 18 days ago, but Developer Program still not activated
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice or assistance regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I completed my purchase and paid the $99 fee back on March 5th. Today is March 23rd, and my account is still not activated. It has been 18 days of total silence. I have already sent multiple follow-up emails to Apple Support, but I haven't received a single response. My payment was successfully processed, but I haven't received any confirmation or activation emails since then. Here are my transaction details: Invoice Number: MC55225030 Web Order Number: D009495884 Sales Order Number: AEU2369279 Has anyone else experienced such a long delay recently? Is there any other way to escalate this issue besides the standard contact form? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Enroll in ADP pending verification
I represent a business who is trying to enroll into the Apple Developer Program. We already have a business account with Apple. Through our business account I have signed up for and provided all of the requested documentation for the Apple Developer Program. I am not the owner of the business, but I am qualified to take these actions on behalf of the business. The enrollment is pending verification since Friday. Just curious if there is anything I can do to move this along? Thank you.

HTTP 500 when attempting to resolve SCM repo connectivity issue.
Hello, I'm unable to kick off builds in Xcode Cloud today due to an error connecting to our SCM repo. "Repository Issue Xcode Cloud is unable to connect to the repository “”. Reconnect the repository to resume builds." I can see that this is due to an HTTP 500 error on the /scm-repositories endpoint, which would normally indicate an issue in Xcode Cloud. If on the contrary this indicates an issue on my side, I'd like to hear details and what the resolution might be. Filed an issue here: FB22314855 (Xcode Cloud: HTTP 500 when connecting to SCM provider)

Xcode 26.2 Can't download
Help please! I'm new to Xcode and my Mac is a 2021 MacBook Pro. I've downloaded Xcode recently (version 26.2) and wanted to preview and test my first App. But somehow, I just can't download the iOS simulator. People tell me that I can download resources from developer.apple.com, but I only found the iOS_18.2_runtime.dmg. I downloaded and installed the iOS 18.2 version but Xcode still requires to download the iOS 26.2 simulator. I don't know why and how to fix this problem. Please help!

pkgbuild on Tahoe fails to build packages if any directory name contains non-ascii characters
pkgbuild on Tahoe (26.3.1) fails to build packages if any directory name contains non-ascii characters. pkgbuild is able to build successfully with the same source data on previous versions on macOS, so this is a regression and prevents us from build able to build our products on macOS 26. Example that demonstrates the issue: mkdir -p MyAppData/Taishōgoto echo "Testing" >> MyAppData/Taishōgoto/Content.txt pkgbuild --identifier com.example.MyAppData --install-location '/Library/Application Support/MyAppData' --root MyAppData myappdata.pkg Error messages: parent directory ./Taishōgoto does not exist pkgbuild: error: Cannot write package to "myappdata.pkg". (The file “package.bom” couldn’t be saved in the folder “NSIRD_pkgbuild_52fPuN”.) I have submitted this via Feedback Assistant (FB22312299). I have not found a workaround. Tried copying pkgbuild from Sequoia but the problem persisted, probably because the buggy code is in PackageKit rather than the tool itself.
