Pending Termination Notice – No Response After Appeal (Request for Guidance)
We have received a Pending Termination Notice for our Apple Developer account related to guideline 3.2(f). We submitted a formal appeal over two weeks ago but have not received any response. We want to ensure full compliance and have clearly confirmed in our appeal that: -No hidden features exist -No dynamic content switching occurs after review -All apps are independently configured for specific regions Given the lack of response, could someone advise: whether additional steps are required from our side or how we can ensure our appeal is reviewed Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

DeviceActivityReport Extension not working on iOS 26.4 — Extension process never launches
Device: iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 26.4 Xcode: Latest version, development signing with "Automatically manage signing" Team: Registered Apple Developer Program (Organization) Problem DeviceActivityReport SwiftUI view renders completely blank. The Report Extension's makeConfiguration(representing:) is never called (confirmed via App Group counter that stays at 0). The DeviceActivityMonitorExtension callbacks (intervalDidStart, eventDidReachThreshold) also never fire. What works AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .individual) → .approved DeviceActivityCenter().startMonitoring() → registers schedules successfully, center.activities returns them ManagedSettingsStore.shield.applications → blocks apps correctly from the main app process Screen Time is enabled and actively collecting data (Settings > Screen Time shows per-app usage: Clash Royale 2h 35m, etc.) App Group UserDefaults(suiteName:) read/write works from the main app What doesn't work DeviceActivityReportExtension.makeConfiguration() is never called (callCount stays 0 in App Group) DeviceActivityMonitorExtension.intervalDidStart() is never called No extension callbacks fire at all — the extension process is never launched by iOS Confirmed it's NOT our app's issue We created a brand new Xcode project from Apple's template: File > New > Project > App File > New > Target > Device Activity Report Extension Added Family Controls capability to both targets Embedded DeviceActivityReport view in ContentView with daily filter Built and ran on the same device Result: Same blank screen. The template project's Report Extension also never renders any data. Console errors Failed to locate container app bundle record. The process may not be entitled to access the LaunchServices database or the app may have moved.

Is there a specific configuration or workaround that makes the extension process launch? The Sandbox restriction error (159) on usermanagerd.xpc seems to be the root cause — is there an entitlement or device setting we're missing?

URGENT: Developer Program Expired – No Renewal Option – App Removed from App Store
Hello, We are currently experiencing a serious issue with our Apple Developer Program membership. Our membership has expired, but there is no option to renew the membership anywhere: Not on the Apple Developer website Not in the Apple Developer app Attempting to start enrollment again redirects to the main page Account details: Team ID: RZR56J4QQ8 Organization: E. V. I. ELECTRIC CARS LTD Role: Account Holder Because of this issue: All App Store agreements show as expired Our app has been removed from the App Store We are currently unable to restore service to users We already opened a Developer Support ticket about a week ago, but have not received any response. This is causing business impact, and we cannot find any way to trigger the renewal flow. Has anyone experienced this issue before, where the Renew Membership button does not appear at all? If anyone from Apple Developer Support / Apple Staff is able to assist or escalate this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
