Overview

Hello Apple Developer Community, I am seeking assistance for my app, Mithaq (Version 1.0), which has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" since February 16, 2026. Submission ID: 1c5e2e35-1171-4348-b26f-236204d0ffc0 Questions: Will the app automatically move into the review queue now that agreements are active, or is manual action required? Should we wait for the current submission, or is it better to "Remove from Review" and resubmit? We have sent follow-up emails and an expedited review request but have received no response. Any guidance from the community or Apple Support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

I’m experiencing an issue with my app submission that has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for several days, and I wanted to check if others are facing a similar situation or if this is currently expected. apple ID:6758572992

Hi everyone, I’m encountering a persistent issue with a visionOS app distributed through TestFlight for internal testing. The Problem: I have successfully archived and distributed the build as an Internal Test. The testers (including myself) received the invitation, accepted it, and the app is visible in the TestFlight app on Apple Vision Pro. However, the moment we click the "Install" button, an alert pops up saying: "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." Context: Platform: visionOS (Targeting Vision Pro). App History: This is an ongoing project where the last distribution was about 5 months ago. The app has never been submitted for formal App Review or public release; it has only been used for TestFlight. Account Status: All agreements (including the Paid Applications Agreement) are active and in effect. What I have tried (but did not work): Re-uploading builds: Increased both version and build numbers and re-archived. Resetting Test Groups: Deleted the existing internal testing group, waited, and created a new group to re-invite testers. Tester Association: Removed all testers and re-added them to force a new invitation email. Device-side: Signed out and back into "Media & Purchases" on the Vision Pro. Key Observation: To determine if it was a project-level configuration error, I created a completely new App Identifier (Bundle ID) for the same project code and uploaded it as a new app record. In this case, TestFlight worked perfectly, and I could install the app without any issues. This leads me to believe that the original Bundle ID is stuck in some kind of "detached" or "stale" state on the App Store Connect backend. Has anyone experienced a specific Bundle ID being "corrupted" in the TestFlight system after a period of inactivity? Is there a way to force a full reset of the TestFlight status for an existing app record, or is this a backend bug that only Apple Support can resolve? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I've been trying to get a call back from apple on a couple of issues but I'm unable to do so. The "Call" button in the contact us form keeps appearing and disappearing at random times. Since I'm in India, I believe the Singaporean team handles the developer support queries. The operating hours mentioned on apple's website are 09:00–17:00 SGT but the "call" button's appearance and disappearance is NOT at all according to this. Now when I was finally able to login into apple developer support at the right time (when call button was visible), and entered my details to get a call back from them. It says "We're calling you shortly" but I receive no call at all. It's been two hours since that. Previously, when i requested a call back for other issues, I got the call immediately. Now it's been so long and there's still no call. And the thing is, I'm also unable to request a call back again for the same issue until some time passes. I think there's some sort of cooldown. The phone/call button disappears again and I'm only left with the email option. Which I NEVER got a reply from unless it's after a call back. There's also no way to call developer support directly. I tried calling back on the number i previously received the call from, but it gets connected to normal support and they say they cannot transfer or connect the call with the developer support team. I don't know what to do. I urge apple to kindly look into this issue and kindly fix it as soon as possible.

Hi there, I am trying to use the agentic coding with the new Xcode update, however the "Intelligence" tab is not coming up on the left hand side of my Xcode settings. I've ensured I have macOS greater than 26, I've got Apple Intelligence and Siri enabled. I've shut down and restarted Xcode and my computer. Still, the option is not available. Can anyone help?

Hello, I've been very familiar with the UVC Support in iPadOS ever since it launched in iOS 17. There are a number of people that use the software I've developed built around UVC and there are often queries about 8-Bit vs. 10-Bit. My understanding is that the newest UVC Spec is 1.5 which was standardised in 2012 and almost every UVC Capture Card runs at 8-Bit. The only 10-Bit Capture Card that is on my radar is the AJA U-Tap SDI, however it looks like this is 10-Bit up until the UVC Part where the 10-Bit Input is downsampled to 8-Bit. Though I have read in certain places that it works as a 10-Bit Capture Card on macOS but not on iPadOS. I was just wondering if 10-Bit via UVC is even possible on iPadOS? If there was indeed a true 10-Bit Source being passed into an iPad, would iPadOS allow it or would it be downsampled by AVFoundation so it can show up as a valid external video input? All USB Capture Cards that I have encountered use one of the following formats: kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarVideoRange kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarFullRange kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA So if a UVC Device delivered a 10-Bit Format, would that be accessible by iPadOS or would it fallback to these 8-Bit Formats by default? Thanks!

I'm trying to enroll a UK-registered limited company in the Apple Developer Program. I am the sole director and authorized signatory of the company, but I am not a UK national and do not hold a UK-issued passport or driving licence. Apple support keeps asking for a "government-issued ID from the United Kingdom" and won't accept my valid passport from another country, even though UK company law fully permits non-UK nationals to be sole directors of UK-registered companies. My enrollment ID was withdrawn and I was told to "designate a UK team member" — but I have no UK employees. I am a solo founder. I have offered to provide my passport, Certificate of Incorporation from Companies House, proof of directorship, and notarized copies of anything needed. Support keeps repeating the same response without offering any alternative path. Case: 102823892910 Has anyone solved this situation? Is there an official alternative verification path for non-UK directors of UK-registered organizations? Any help or escalation pointer appreciated.

Hello DTS team, the request review from StoreKit is not working in iOS 26.4 beta 3. I have filed a feedback (FB22157147). Sample code: import SwiftUI import StoreKit struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.requestReview) private var requestReview @State private var count = 0 var body: some View { VStack { Button("Increase Count") { count += 1 } Text(count, format: .number) .font(.largeTitle) } .onChange(of: count) { if count == 3 { Task { try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(2)) requestReview() print("Request Review triggered!") // On iPadOS 26.4 beta 2 & 3, requestReview() does not trigger any review system sheet when testing in Xcode 26.3 // Works on iOS 26.3.1 } } } } }

I'm new to graphics and game design and I just wanted to know if a compute pipeline could be as efficient as a render pipeline for rasterization and an explanation on how and why. Also is it possible to manually perform rasterization with a render pipeline as in manipulate individual pixel data in a metal texture yourself but do it with a render pipeline?

I am using DataScannerViewController from VisionKit to scan text in my iOS application. The scanner works correctly while running. However, I added a custom button to toggle the device torch (flashlight). To toggle the torch, I access the camera device using AVCaptureDevice and set torchMode after locking the configuration. When I turn on the torch while DataScannerViewController is actively scanning, the scanner UI freezes and the camera preview stops updating. The app becomes unresponsive until I leave the screen. This issue appears on all iOS versions. Code used to toggle the torch: guard let device = AVCaptureDevice.default(for: .video),       device.hasTorch else { return } do {     try device.lockForConfiguration()     device.torchMode = device.torchMode == .on ? .off : .on     device.unlockForConfiguration() } catch {     print(error) } Questions: Is it supported to control the torch directly via AVCaptureDevice while DataScannerViewController is running? Does DataScannerViewController internally lock or manage the camera configuration in a way that can cause this freeze? Is there a recommended way to enable/disable the torch when using DataScannerViewController? Environment: VisionKit DataScannerViewController iPhone device (not simulator) iOS versions where freeze occurs: All Any clarification about whether this behavior is expected or a limitation of VisionKit would be appreciated.

Am trying to setup a third party payment gateway that accepts our currency because we have a restriction on payments in foreign currencies. The review team rejected the app because of it even though there are released apps with the same provider on the app store.

Dear All, I am writing to report what appears to be a bug in the Apple Developer App’s enrollment verification system that is incorrectly flagging personal hardware. Problem Statement: I am unable to complete enrollment for the Apple Developer Program. On the "Personal Information" or "Identity Verification" stage, the app displays: "Contact Us to Continue. There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved..." Hardware History: Device: iPhone 14 (iOS latest) The device was previously owned by a family member who never enrolled in the Developer Program. The device was factory reset/wiped before my account was added. Despite this, Support (Case 102822291300) states the device is flagged as a "shared device" and refuses to proceed with identity verification. The Impasse: Support has indicated they cannot provide further assistance. However, as an individual developer, this is my primary device. If the system is flagging a reset device as "shared" when there is no history of developer use, it suggests a flaw in the automated verification logic. Request: Can a moderator or support representative look into Case 102822291300 to verify why this specific hardware is being restricted? Is there a manual path for identity verification (Passport/National ID) that doesn't rely on the Apple Developer App's automated device check? Allow me to do manual verification and provide the resolution to the issue. I am eager to bring my app to the platform and would appreciate a path to resolution. Kind Regards, Pradeep Bangalore

How can I complain to Apple Engineering?

Hi, I have an update on my app (904057429) that has been waiting for review for over a month. I have requested an expedited review and got the message that it was approved but that was over 2 weeks ago and it's been radio silence since. I have also tried contacting support twice and received generic responses both times. I have seen other developers have app updates reviewed within 24 hours which seems to suggest there is no queue system in place so I'm not sure how this situation will be resolved. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do? Thanks

My app has been released, and there is an "App Clip" link available in the advanced experience. Could someone please tell me if there is a way for me to modify or delete this link? (I'm not looking to deactivate the link; I just want to remove it so that other apps can use it.) If I remove the already published APP, can I also delete this link?

Why is my App new build not showing on App Store Connect if it is ready for Distribution? It only shows the previous build. I received this confirmation email about 12 hours ago.

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 have an iOS app that I want to run on my device via Xcode and the USB-C cable. Once I run it through Xcode with my device as the target the app builds on device. But then I get an error message stating I need to Verify App via the Settings section "VPN & Device Management" I click on my account under "Developer App" and I trust my developer account.

Navigating to the Contact Us website (https://developer.apple.com/contact/) results in an "Error:" showing at the top of the page. I cannot select options for starting a new issue or accessing recent ones - and sometimes nothing shows up on the page at all (attached screenshot). I've been trying to get in to request an expedited review since Thursday afternoon. I checked the System Status page and there are no reported issues. I am using Microsoft Edge and also logged in via Safari - still wasn't able to access the Contact Us issues.
