Overview

Hi all, I’m trying to understand what’s possible with App Store Connect when using Universal Purchase across iOS and tvOS. We currently have an app that’s set up as a universal purchase for iOS and tvOS. What we’d like to do is: Keep the iOS app fully discoverable and available to new users in the App Store. Make the tvOS app not appear for new users (e.g., not show up in search / categories / product page for users who don’t already own it). Is there a supported way to effectively “hide” or remove the tvOS app from sale for new customers only, while keeping the iOS app live and discoverable, and while existing tvOS users are unaffected? If this isn’t possible at a platform level, are there any recommended best practices for deprecating the tvOS version of a universal purchase app without impacting the iOS listing or existing tvOS users? Thanks in advance for any guidance or pointers to official docs!

Hi, I am trying to update my apps and i couldn't do it, can anyone please help? this is what happened to me. Once my membership renewed, i couldn't compile my apps due to signing error. here is the error message: Xcode archive done. 31.7s Failed to build iOS app Error (Xcode): Communication with Apple failed: Your team has no devices from which to generate a provisioning profile. Connect a device to use or manually add device IDs in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. https://developer.apple.com/account/ /Users/tony/vn246/ios/Runner.xcodeproj when I go to the portal developer.apple.com/account to create the Provisioning Profile manually then it said there is no device, and when i go into the Devices section then the machine uuid is added and it's there and registered, i had always been compiling with it before the old membership was expired. I tried to remove those and re-added and the error still persisted. P.S.: I renewed all my certificates (removed old and recreated new) thank you

I'm really sick of Apple and their BS kickbacks they get from github and the other source control outfits restricting what source control packages we can use inside of XCode. We have used Code Commit with AWS for YEARS! We are not switching but apple's Xcode will not allow us to add it as an account. We used to be able to use it, but Apple took away the GIT account setup so now you have to use one of their kickback outfits. This is complete BS Apple. Even AWS realized how important Code Commit is and made it available to everyone again and pledged full support going forward. How about you get off your collective sixes and do the same. I'd like an explanation on why you took away the one feature that allows us to use what works for us.

I'm working on a SwiftUI application that uses a couple different webviews in a tabview to render some mdx and codemirror editor. The editor webview, the one that's much more complicated works as expected. Some errors appear in the console due to what I imagine is a race condition that I'll get around to fixing, but it works as expected. The other webview which just renders a single, local html file to display a dead simple summary absolutely refuses to work. It first appears to work as expected (shows the same 'return type unsupported' error in the console though) on the initial request, but then refuses to process any JS functions for that particular webview. Even the functions themselves are being used between the two webviews, and they work as expected in the other. Even worse, when I copy and paste the generated JS code into the safari dev tools it works as expected, even in the broken webview. I've spent almost 12 hours on this today so far, and have made zero progress. I've tried commenting out just about the entire website to narrow it down on the JS side without success, and I've done everything I can think of on the swift side. To be transparent, I'm very new to Swift and SwiftUI, having only picked it up a few weeks ago, but I'm an experienced developer and every obvious solution fails to work. From what I've gathered, this might have something to do with the first function call failing, despite the fact that it appears to work on the first function call, but then the javascript engine refusing to process additional requests. I'm not sure if that's the cause, but it certainly seems to make sense. Is there a way to debug this more completely? Like I said, I'm very new to Swift and still missing neovim, so I'm still getting comfortable with the apple ecosystem of devtools, but I can't even figure out how to print out the return type since it fails before I'm able to inspect anything on the safari side I did notice this error in the console as well, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it: Error acquiring assertion: <Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))}> And as I was digging for that one, I just noticed this: WebContent[32934] 0x102011208 - [webPageID=306] WebPage::runJavaScriptInFrameInScriptWorld: Request to run JavaScript failed with error SecurityError: The operation is insecure. What would trigger a security warning for running javascript against a local file? Any help is greatly appreciated... this is driving me crazy.

We have submitted a feedback for this issue: FB21230723 We're building a note-taking app for iOS and macOS that uses both UITextView and NSTextView. When performing text input that involves a marked range (such as Japanese input) in a UITextView or NSTextView with a UITextViewDelegate or NSTextViewDelegate set, the text view's marked range (markedTextRange / markedRange()) has not yet been updated at the moment when shouldChangeTextIn is invoked. UITextViewDelegate.textView(_:shouldChangeTextIn:replacementText:) NSTextViewDelegate.textView(_:shouldChangeTextIn:replacementString:) The current behavior is this when entering text in Japanese: (same for NSTextView) func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool { print(textView.markedTextRange != nil) // prints out false DispatchQueue.main.async { print(textView.markedTextRange != nil) // prints out true } } However, we need the value of markedTextRange right away in order to determine whether to return true or false from this method. Is there any workaround for this issue?

I followed the method outlined in Apple's documentation to test "Revocation of Consent." Our server received the notification sent by Apple, but the parsed data only contains the following content (some data has been modified for privacy, but the fields remain unchanged): { "receiptType": "Sandbox", "bundleId": "com.xxx.xxxxx", "receiptCreationDate": 1764932591296, "requestDate": 1764932591296, "originalPurchaseDate": 1375340400000, "originalApplicationVersion": "1.0", "appTransactionId": "705020051250081000", "originalPlatform": "iOS" } How can we identify that "a parent/guardian has revoked authorization for a specific user"? We are unable to determine which minor user should be restricted from using certain features of our app. I hope to receive a prompt response from Apple's technical experts! Thanks A Lot ！

We have an iOS app running on macOS (not Mac Catalyst). The preferences are in a dedicated UIWindowScene. We don't want this scene to be restored, so when you start the app the preferences shouldn't be visible. How can we prevent the UIWindowScene restoration? Alternatively, if we can't prevent it, how can we ensure the main window scene is in front of the preferences window scene on app start?

Cybersource production support has clarified issue as below "On the BAD Case, it seems that the Apple Payload did not contain the "onlinePaymentCryptogram" object within the JSON. The Cryptogram is critical and mandatory. Since the merchant cannot really control this, and since CYBS is just decrypting the payload and uses it, we cannot comment as to why it was missing. The merchant would need to reach out to Apple and/or decrypt the payment themselves locally to check if and why this data was not present, for troubleshooting purposes."

I’m implementing a subscription purchase flow using promo code redemption via an external App Store URL. Flow: User taps “Purchase” in the app (spinner shown) App opens the promo redemption URL (apps.apple.com/redeem) User completes redemption in the App Store User returns to the app The app must determine whether the subscription was purchased within a reasonable time window The app listens to Transaction.updates and also checks Transaction.currentEntitlements when the app returns to the foreground. Issue: After redeeming a subscription promo code via the App Store and returning to the app, the app cannot reliably determine whether the subscription was successfully purchased within a short, user-acceptable time window. In many cases, neither Transaction.updates nor Transaction.currentEntitlements reflects the newly redeemed subscription immediately after returning to the app. The entitlement may appear only after a significant delay, or not within a 60-second timeout at all, even though the promo code redemption succeeded. Expected: When the user returns to the app after completing promo code redemption, StoreKit 2 should report the updated subscription entitlement shortly thereafter (e.g. within a few seconds) via either Transaction.updates or Transaction.currentEntitlements. Below is the minimal interactor used in the sample project. The app considers the purchase successful if either a verified transaction for the product is received via Transaction.updates, or the product appears in Transaction.currentEntitlements when the app returns to the foreground. Otherwise, the flow fails after a 60-second timeout. Questions: Is this entitlement propagation delay expected when redeeming promo codes through the App Store? Is there a recommended API or flow for immediately determining whether a subscription has been successfully redeemed? Is there a more reliable way to detect entitlement changes after promo code redemption without triggering user authentication prompts (e.g., from AppStore.sync())? import UIKit import StoreKit final class PromoPurchaseInteractor { private let timeout: TimeInterval = 60 private struct PendingOfferRedemption { let productId: String let completion: (Result<Bool, Error>) -> Void } private var pendingRedemption: PendingOfferRedemption? private var updatesTask: Task<Void, Never>? private var timeoutTask: Task<Void, Never>? enum DefaultError: Error { case generic case timeout } init() { NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(willEnterForeground), name: UIApplication.willEnterForegroundNotification, object: nil) } deinit { NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self) updatesTask?.cancel() timeoutTask?.cancel() } func purchaseProduct(using offerUrl: URL, productId: String, completion: @escaping (Result<Bool, Error>) -> Void) { guard pendingRedemption == nil else { completion(.failure(DefaultError.generic)) return } pendingRedemption = PendingOfferRedemption(productId: productId, completion: completion) startPurchase(using: offerUrl) } @objc private func willEnterForeground() { guard let pendingRedemption = pendingRedemption else { return } startTimeoutObserver() Task { if await hasEntitlement(for: pendingRedemption.productId) { await MainActor.run { self.completePurchase(result: .success(true)) } } } } private func startPurchase(using offerURL: URL) { startTransactionUpdatesObserver() UIApplication.shared.open(offerURL) { [weak self] success in guard let self = self else { return } if !success { self.completePurchase(result: .failure(DefaultError.generic)) } } } private func completePurchase(result: Result<Bool, Error>) { stopTransactionUpdatesObserver() stopTimeoutObserver() guard let _ = pendingRedemption else { return } pendingRedemption?.completion(result) pendingRedemption = nil } private func startTransactionUpdatesObserver() { updatesTask?.cancel() updatesTask = Task { for await update in Transaction.updates { guard case .verified(let transaction) = update else { continue } await MainActor.run { [weak self] in guard let self = self, let pending = self.pendingRedemption, transaction.productID == pending.productId else { return } self.completePurchase(result: .success(true)) } await transaction.finish() } } } private func stopTransactionUpdatesObserver() { updatesTask?.cancel() updatesTask = nil } private func startTimeoutObserver() { guard pendingRedemption != nil else { return } timeoutTask?.cancel() timeoutTask = Task { try? await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: UInt64(timeout * 1_000_000_000)) await MainActor.run { [weak self] in self?.completePurchase(result: .failure(DefaultError.timeout)) } } } private func stopTimeoutObserver() { timeoutTask?.cancel() timeoutTask = nil } private func hasEntitlement(for productId: String) async -> Bool { for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { guard case .verified(let transaction) = result else { continue } if transaction.productID == productId { return true } } return false } }

Steps to Reproduce Step 1: Fetch Initial Device List Called the device list endpoint to retrieve all devices and saved the cursor: GET https://mdmenrollment.apple.com/server/devices Step 2: Modify Devices Added and deleted several devices via https://business.apple.com/ Step 3: Sync Without Pagination Called the sync endpoint using the cursor from Step 1 (no limit): GET https://mdmenrollment.apple.com/devices/sync?cursor={step1_cursor} Result: Returned 3 device records as expected: { "devices": [ { "serial_number": "F70JJ4C16L", "op_type": "added", "op_date": "2025-12-11T07:05:05Z" }, { "serial_number": "F70JJ4C16L", "op_type": "deleted", "op_date": "2025-12-11T07:04:36Z" }, { "serial_number": "C8RWGXZXJWF5", "op_type": "deleted", "op_date": "2025-12-11T07:04:52Z" } ], "more_to_follow": false } Step 4: Sync With Pagination (First Page) Called the sync endpoint using the same cursor from Step 1 with limit=1: GET https://mdmenrollment.apple.com/devices/sync?cursor={step1_cursor}&limit=1 Result: Returned 1 record with more_to_follow: true — indicating more data exists: { "devices": [ { "serial_number": "F70JJ4C16L", "op_type": "added", "op_date": "2025-12-11T07:05:05Z" } ], "more_to_follow": true, "cursor": "MTowOjE3NjU0MzgyNDI5ODc6..." } Step 5: Sync With Pagination (Second Page) Called the sync endpoint using the cursor from Step 4 with limit=1: { "devices": [], "more_to_follow": false } Expected Behavior When paginating with limit=1, the API should return all 3 records across 3 sequential requests. Actual Behavior Without pagination: Returns 3 records ✓ With pagination (limit=1): Returns only 1 record, then empty array ✗ 2 records are missing when using pagination. Impact This inconsistency makes the sync API unreliable for incremental device synchronization workflows.

“Side Button Access” Capability cannot be found under capabilities and when trying to add the entitlement com.apple.developer.side-button-access.allow manually, I got the invalid entitlement error. Xcode: 26.2, MacOS: 26.2.

I have a SwiftUI recursive list, created with the (children:) initializer, just like it's shown in the code example here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/SwiftUI/List#Creating-hierarchical-lists I would like this tree view to be searchable (i.e a user enters a query into a text field and it searches the entire tree at all levels). Displaying a search result which is not at the top level would require its parents to be programmatically expanded. How to programmatically expand certain levels of such a list?

Hi Apple Developer Community and Support Team, I'm reaching out for advice and potential escalation on a stalled organization enrollment that's blocking our app launch. Here's a quick timeline: Initial enrollment hit issues with D-U-N-S verification (now resolved) and email code delivery, leading to multiple failed attempts and temporary blocks. After unblocking via support, we resubmitted and were directed to higher department review. Submitted all required docs (company formation, passport/ID, etc.) on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. No updates since—it's now Day 6 with zero communication on ETA. This is critically urgent for our business: We have ~4,000 users pre-registered and waiting to download our personal development app (focused on habit-building and goal tracking). Projections show another 10,000 sign-ups in the next two weeks alone, pushing us to 15,000+ if resolved soon. These folks are already investing—our physical planners (promoting the app) are selling via Amazon and our website, http://www.freedommastery.com selling Life planners) and they're expecting seamless iOS access on launch day. Every day of delay risks churn, lost revenue, and momentum in a competitive space. I've followed up via phone/email multiple times, but frontline support can't provide timelines or status. Enrollment ID: [Redact or insert your anonymized ID here for tracking]. Has anyone navigated a similar higher-review holdup? Tips for bumping priority (e.g., additional proof of urgency like waitlist data)? Any rough ETAs from recent org approvals? Grateful for any insights—Apple's ecosystem is key to our growth, and we'd love to get these users onboard ASAP. Thanks in advance!

I recently published version 1.0 of my first app, but I'm unable to update it. In App Store Connect, I select my App and on the left under iOS App there are currently 2 platform records, but I believe there should be 1. On the bottom is a green check mark and "1.0 Ready for Distribution". Above that with a yellow check mark is "1.0043 Prepare for submission". I believe I mistakenly pressed add platform instead of + version. Now I don't see a + Version button on my Ready for Distribution platform. I don't see any way to delete this extra platform record. For uploading, I have been using a DevOps build pipeline that uploads the final build to app store connect. It reports that the builds are being uploaded successfully, but I don't see them anywhere in the build versions. I have tried saving the 1.0043 version but I'm unable to attach any of the builds I'm uploading. Please help, I've finally got a live app but I'm unable to update it. Am I correct that the extra platform record is what's keeping me from updating it? If so, how can I delete it? Thank you!

I have an app that needs Input Monitoring permissions to get keyboard access in the background. I've attempted to use both IOHIDCheckAccess(kIOHIDRequestTypeListenEvent) and IOHIDRequestAccess(kIOHIDRequestTypeListenEvent), but they always return denied, even though I have given the permission for Input Monitoring to the app in Settings. Is there something I need to put in my Info.plist to enable this permission to work?

Hello, I’m experiencing a strange issue with a newly created Subscription Group in my iOS app. For all my existing subscription groups, everything works perfectly — initial purchase, renewals, cancellations, all notifications arrive normally. But for this one newly created group, the first purchase never triggers any server notification from App Store Server Notifications (ASSN). ⸻ 📘 Problem Summary • I created a new Subscription Group in App Store Connect. • The products are all Approved and Published for over a week. • Users can successfully purchase the subscription in production. • The purchase is shown as Purchased in the App Store purchase UI. • The receipt can be fetched locally on device. • But my server receives no notifications, including: • DID_RENEW • DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_STATUS • SUBSCRIBED • ONE_TIME_CHARGE • CONSUMPTION_REQUEST • etc. The old subscription groups still send notifications normally, so the notification URL and server infrastructure are correct.

I noticed, that even though my AutoFill Credential Provider Extension works with Safari for both Passwords and Passkeys, it doesn't work in context menus inside arbitrary textfields, meanwhile the same is true for the Apple Passwords app. This is a great hit to AutoFill productivity, as my extension is unable to fill textfields by just going to the context menu and clicking AutoFill > Passwords.. Is this a feature only available to Apple via private APIs, or is this something I can interface with? I checked and the Passwords app does use some undocumented but non-private entitlements: [Key] com.apple.authentication-services.access-credential-identities [Value] [Bool] true I also checked the responsible executable for some hints (AutoFillPanelService) however found nothing that would lead me to believe this is a public extension point. Another idea I had was trying to use a macOS Service for this, however Services in the "General" category won't show up in any context menu, only in the Application's Main Menu.
