Curious what backend others are choosing these days. I am building a vocabulary app and exploring which backend would be a good fit. Considering options like CloudKit, Firebase, Supabase, AWS Amplify, custom servers, or a combination. What are you using and what made you choose it?

I recently got a new iPhone for my mom so that she could have Assistive Access due to her declining cognitive health. I selected the family members she calls the most as her favorites, but when attempting to call some of said family members (myself included), nothing happens. It works for about half the contacts, and not for the other half. I’m her main caregiver so it’s pretty ironic that I’m one of the ones it doesn’t work with. I’ve tried exiting and re-entering Assistive Access, deleting and re-adding all the contacts, restarting the phone, force-restarting the phone, and checking if the iOS is the most recent update (it is). Nothing works. Please help.

We are developing a platform (Ferve) where users subscribe to individual artists to access exclusive content. We use a user-centric remuneration model: each artist has an independent income pool, and funds from a specific subscription must be attributed solely to that artist. We have two critical challenges regarding our integration: Granular Financial Reporting for User-Centric Payouts As the Merchant of Record, Apple provides aggregate Financial Reports. However, these reports do not provide a breakdown of taxes, commissions, or exact exchange rates used for individual transactionId records. Though we can keep records of each transaction in our database, thus linking them with which artist they belong to, we are unable to collect fees/taxes applied to each individual transaction. Because our payouts are artist-specific, we need to deduct the exact regional taxes and Apple commissions from each transaction to calculate the artist's due balance. Currently, we can only see the final consolidated balance in BRL (Brazilian Reals) at the end of the month. Is there an API or report that provides the net proceeds and tax breakdown per transaction ID? How can we retrieve the exact exchange rate applied to foreign currency sales (e.g., EUR to BRL) before the final consolidation? Supporting Multiple Concurrent Subscriptions Our current App Store Connect configuration uses a single 'Subscription Group' for all artist 'Clubs' since they share the same price points. However, we have found that users cannot subscribe to more than one product within the same group simultaneously (the App Store treats this as an upgrade/downgrade). On our platform, a user must be able to subscribe to Artist A and Artist B at the same time. What is the recommended architecture for this? Should we dynamically create a unique Subscription Group for every artist onboarded to our platform? If we use unique groups, is there a limit to the number of Subscription Groups one app can have? We appreciate the help, Ferve

Problems searching in mail after upgrade to Tahoe 26.4 Beta (25E5218f). Removing the index files and requesting rebuild results in a hung rebuild process. In the activity monitor I see Indexing... and a bar that is stuck at 0%. I have rebooted and restarted mail. No change. I was able to rebuild the spotlight search, and it is working properly.

I would like to know if this problem only affects me or others as well. Since the latest version of iPadOS, my eSIM no longer works, or rather, I have no mobile data. It worked with the previous version, but since I updated, mobile data (Internet) no longer works. When I open Safari, the window " Mobile data network could not be activated. You do not have a mobile data plan. Use Wi-Fi or open the mobile data options in "Settings". Any Recommendations? Thank you all

Users report being able to log-in on the website and everywhere else, using google sign-in credentials, just not working on the app.

I dutifully upgraded my software (beta) on Feb. 24 when prompted. I could not get the computer to reboot, then after about 5 hours on the phone with, I think, 4 techs, they told me the only solution was to wait for the next update - I could not go backwards to the regular version. So $1,299 later I have a new Mac Mini M4! I have to work, so it was the only solution. What do I win?

What is screen studio: Screen studio is a screen recording app that lets users record screen and then edit the recording and add custom background image and it includes many apple wallpapers. I seen this in tons of other apps as well

Hello Apple Support, I’m experiencing an issue on the “Create Your Apple Account” page. After filling in all required information, the “Continue” button remains disabled and cannot be clicked. This issue occurs consistently across all browsers I’ve tested. I’ve already tried: Different browsers (Safari, Chrome, etc.) Private / Incognito mode Refreshing and re-entering the information However, the problem still persists. Could you please help check or reset the account creation state for my Apple ID? Thank you for your assistance.

Title says it all, so I get to 5 minutes left, and then the error message 'failed to prepare update' appears. I've done this for about a week now and the same thing happens. Does anyone have any insight to this problem?

With AI getting so powerful, do you think Swift Student Challenge will change a lot next year? Will Apple update the rules or change what they're judging? Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who's followed SSC for a while.

Hi, I submitted my Swift Student Challenge 2026 app and I'm worried about a build error I got when testing. I have both PlateClassifier_2.mlmodel and PlateClassifier_2.mlmodelc in my Sources folder. Only the .mlmodelc is listed in my Package.swift resources. When building I got: PlateClassifier_2.mlmodel: No predominant language detected. Set COREML_CODEGEN_LANGUAGE to preferred language. Build failed — 1 error Will judges hit this same error? Does having an unlisted .mlmodel alongside the .mlmodelc cause a hard build failure on other machines too, or is this specific to my setup (Xcode 26.2 beta, building to physical device)? Will this get me instantly disqualified? Any help appreciated.

Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I am writing to formally escalate an issue regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. On February 23rd, I completed the $100 enrollment payment for an Individual Apple Developer account. The amount has been successfully debited from my card, and I have received official payment confirmation emails from Apple confirming receipt of the funds. However, as of today (March 3rd), my account still reflects that payment needs to be completed, and the enrollment remains inactive. This is my first-time enrollment as an individual developer. Given that payment has already been processed and acknowledged by Apple, I am concerned about the lack of activation and the absence of any communication regarding the delay. Additionally, I have submitted multiple support requests over the past five days but have not received any response or update. This delay is affecting my development and release timelines. I kindly request: Immediate confirmation of payment reconciliation on your end Clarification on the current status of my enrollment An estimated timeline for activation Escalation of this case to the appropriate billing or developer enrollment team Please let me know if any further documentation (transaction ID, invoice number, Apple ID details) is required from my side. I would appreciate your urgent assistance in resolving this matter. Kind regards, Gowtham Potureddi

Hello, I recently submitted my Swift Student Challenge app playground (“Crest”) and realized after submission that I accidentally selected Swift Playgrounds as the software to run it, instead of Xcode 26 or later. My project builds and runs successfully in Xcode 26 using the iOS 26 SDK and simulator. However, when opening the same .swiftpm project in the Swift Playgrounds app on iPad, it does not compile because Swift Playgrounds currently only supports up to iOS 18 SDK and does not support iOS 26 APIs. The submission itself is complete, builds correctly in Xcode, and was submitted before the deadline. The incorrect selection of Swift Playgrounds was an honest mistake during the submission process. I wanted to ask whether reviewers are able to run the submission using Xcode 26 in cases like this, or if there is anything I should do. Thank you very much for your time.
