Overview

Hey there, so I wanted to know what kind of experience you guys had with creating your apple developer account. I have a client who paid for my developer account with his credit card details, but he's not in my country, I figured that this is the reason the payment is taking ages to process but I've received several emails saying "hey payment has been received" and all that jazz. But it still says "Purchase your membership" on my enrolled to developer program page. If anyone could provide some support that would be great.

Hi everyone! I’m building Delta — an app designed to rethink time, because time is literally our most valuable currency. So the core mechanic involves earning time in useful apps and then spending it on apps that are a distraction. I already have a prototype that’s being actively tested in a closed beta, but I’ve started noticing that more and more testers are reporting the same bug. “Time is being counted even when I'm not in the app I marked as useful.” I suspect that Screen Time is also tracking background time, although this behavior isn't correct for my app. Does anyone know how to track specifically those moments when an app marked as useful and used for “time-earning” is in the foreground? Additionally, I hit a wall with Screen Time and had to accept that I can’t force a user away from another app if they’re active there, nor redirect them to my app to trigger the lock screen. Because of this, I had to resort to a penalty system, which is equal to the time the user spent additionally after their time ran out. And here, I run into the same problem I described at the beginning of the post. I can’t track the background status of another app, even though I’m trying really hard... Can anyone suggest any ways I can get out of this situation, or should I keep looking for a solution, or shift toward explaining this to the user?.. (However, I’m holding out until the very end before giving up on finding a solution)

My MacBook Air M2 is connected to an external monitor. App windows keep switching screens every time I turn the screen off and then on again, which started happening after the new developer beta update. How can I fix this? Or is this a big I have to wait for to be fixed until the next update?

Hi all ! I'm a new developer on iOs and I' struggling to get my IAP subscription working in sandbox. I've got it working in debug mode on my test env, where I purposely activate the subscription when in my test backend. So that part works. But now, I want to test in testflight with sandbox user credentials. And I see conflicting instructions. My developer account has accepted the Paid Apps Agreement. I've created a subscription group with localized description in both language my app supports. In that group, I've created 2 products with description, duration, pricing, localized name and description and a review screenshot. At that stage, the subscription is at the state "ready to submit". From what I read, I then need to submit them as part of a version submission to activate the IAP. So I did. But then the app was rejected because IAP don't work. I later found out that I need to attach the IAP to the submission, but I couldn't do it, because the IAP where now in "developer action needed". And even after modifying them to reset the state of the localization, the locale are pending submit, but the subscription is still in developer action needed. So in the end, I re-created 2 new subscriptions (with 2 new product ids). At this point, I see posts and replies in reddit and other places that specifically says that the IAP need to be reviewed and approved by apple to be usable in sandbox. But I also see others that specifically says the opposite, that the IAP only need to be in ready to submit. So which is it ? If I submit again the app, I'll end up with subscriptions that are unusable that I can't get back to ready to submit without sending them for review. Thanks for any hints !

Hey I wanted to ask how long is the waitinguntil the request will be approved. Im waiting 12 hours already and I seems like smth is wrong thank u

As shown in the image, my application was working normally, then suddenly this happened. I've sent an email to support but haven't received a response yet. Has anyone else experienced this?

noticed something here, dont underasand why. but here in Retrieve the registrations for a device in Apple Developer Documentation in Retrieve the registrations for a device. There is no Authorization in the header to include, however, other endpoints support that? Is this header will be sent from Walle? meaning that it has been missed in the documentation ? https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/walletorders/retrieve-the-registrations-for-a-device

I have a subscription since Wednesday and normally two days later my account should be validated, but until then the account is still pending, can anyone help me? help me !!!!!

In Interface Builder there use to be a segmented control to switch Inspectors. It's been this way forever. I could switch from: File Inspector Attributes Inspector Size Inspector Etc... Now in Xcode 26.4, it is this clunky pop up button? What? I thought Apple didn't like Interface Builder anymore so I'm surprised they are even touching it. This part of a SwiftUI rewrite or just bad vibes?

I have subclassed UITabBar and created a custom look and feel for it. On iOS 18, the tab bar appears as expected. On iOS 26, however, a default Liquid Glass-style capsule selection indicator appears behind the selected tab item. I tried using UITabBarAppearance, including selectionIndicatorTintColor = .clear and selectionIndicatorImage = nil / empty image, but the capsule-style selected background still appears. Is this selection treatment part of the new default system rendering in iOS 26, and if so, is there any supported way to remove or disable it while still using UITabBar?

hi so i own a iphone 14 pro max and my battery life on it has been horrible since ios 26.4 and i want to install the public beta to see if it will fix it, however with my previous experiences from apple phones (iphone 4s) sometimes something can go horribly wrong and the baseband chip fries itself to the point where you cant get past recovery mode and get a restore error, im scared that this can happen to my iphone 14 pro max when installing ios beta. can that happen or am i just overthinking?

I am unable to submit my app EggZap for review. When I navigate to my iOS App Version 1.0 submission page, I can make all edits and save successfully — screenshots, description, keywords, contact info all save without issue. However, as soon as I add a build to the submission and click Save, the button turns red with a ! error indicator and will not save. Removing the build allows the page to save normally again. The build (Build 51) is fully validated and shows as Complete in TestFlight. It is fully playable via TestFlight on my device. I have tried multiple browsers on multiple devices with the same result. Browser console shows a 409 Conflict error from the PATCH endpoint when saving with a build attached. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support (Case ID: 102858642503) but wanted to reach out to the community as well. I have seen other posts about this same issue but no real answer on how it was fixed. Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hello team, We are using below example https://github.com/apple/pir-service-example as a starting point to setup PIR server for our backend, but I am not really understanding what else we need in this example to configure OHTTP gateway. Any help will be appreciated.

How do I make a basic request with URLSession? See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30573898 for reference. Also https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/ has details.

URLSession question

The support team is absolutely useless here. I subscribed to a developer account and everything was fine; I received an email. But because there was a bug in their app, I signed up for a second subscription, and I cancelled the second one. As a result, I haven't heard back from support for a week, and I'm sitting without an account even though I paid for the first subscription. These dogs don't respond.

We are stuck in AppStoreConnect limbo. We have a new subscription group + two Subscriptions in Ready To Review state in appstoreconnect, but Apple Review rejected our latest app version because they weren't included with the version. Our app version has been rejected for a few issues before this which maybe broke something. When I go to edit the version, there is no Subscriptions & Purchases section to add them for review. I tried editing the subscriptions and subscription group localization to see if that got it out of Waiting For Review state or showed the version section but no luck. So we can't add the Subscriptions for review and we are rejected from App Review if we don't. I submitted an Apple support email 8 days ago and haven't received any response. Does anyone know of a way to get this unblocked?

Hello, I’m experiencing two issues which I believe may be related to a single root cause: TestFlight Installation Error When I try to install my app via TestFlight for testing purposes, I receive the following error message: “Could not install app. The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” Unable to Add Build to External Testers When I attempt to add a build to an external testers group, I see the following error in the network tab after submission: { "errors" : [ { "id" : "95d240bd-94bd-4653-8d60-8dc691d6e3dc", "status" : "422", "code" : "ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING", "title" : "Beta contract is missing for the app.", "detail" : "Beta Contract is missing." } ] } I have reviewed and completed all required forms under Business → Agreements, and there are currently no pending alerts or agreements requiring action. At this point, I’m unable to proceed with testing my application and would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions. Additionally, I have an open support case that has not yet received a response: Case ID: 102855791526 Area: Distribution / TestFlight Thank you in advance for your help.

Does apple responds to to emails? Im not getting any answer why my account not approved
