Overview

Hi, I'm posting a boot crash here. Environment Hardware: Macbook M5 Pro OS Version: macOS 26.3.1 (25D2128) and matching version of KDK from official apple download page Kernel Version: Darwin Kernel Version 25.3.0 Reproducibility: Consistent Here is my panic log --- I truncated one field "SOCDNandContainer" as the original log is too long to post, hitting the size limit. I followed a blog post to boot the development kernel as the ReadMe file from KDK only contains instructions for Intel Macs. https://jaitechwriteups.blogspot.com/2025/10/boot-custom-macos-kernel-on-macos-apple.html I've tried a few 26.2 KDKs before 26.3.1 public launch, and they all showed same errors (26.1 and 26.0 KDKs don't have any development kernel for T8142 chip). Also, I own two fresh M5 Pro, and it is consistent across the machines. The highlight is panic(cpu 8 caller 0xfffffe0050e18010): [Exclaves] $JgOSLogServerComponent.RedactedLogServer.init(logServerNotific:OSLogServerComponent\/OSLogServerComponent_Swift.swift:815: Fatal error: invalid rawValue for TightbeamComponents.RedactedLogSer at PC ... Is this a genuine bug or am I following a wrong guide to boot the development kernel? I don't think the blog is wrong because I'm able to boot the "release" kernel included in the KDK on the same M5 Pro, and the "development" kernel on M4 Mac Mini, using the same routine. Just to be clear, I'm not compiling XNU myself, but am using the ones included in the kit.

I have been getting the following error intermittently (once it happens, then its consistent) when I try to build my app Showing Recent Errors Only Unable to resolve build file: BuildFile<b11862f281fd8c8287d499b4f0922a9c61c95323d2196ba877ed344a02baffbb> (The workspace has a reference to a missing target with GUID '0c7e19da3805e0a412c717704d4549fc25560b498add930cbef9623bd9afb53a') There have been no changes to my project (git status is clean). I have tried cleaning DerivedData as well, but it did not help. How am I supposed to figure out from the GUID what is it that xcode is trying to find?

Hello, I have a question regarding how prorated refunds are reflected when a user upgrades a subscription. From my understanding, when a user upgrades to a higher-tier subscription, the remaining value of the current subscription is refunded as a prorated amount, typically represented as REFUND_PRORATED or PRORATED_CREDIT. However, when reviewing the available transaction history and refund-related data (including the App Store Server API and transaction history endpoints), I cannot find any field or record that clearly indicates: the actual prorated refund amount, or the credit applied when upgrading to another subscription In other words, while the concept of REFUND_PRORATED seems to exist conceptually, I cannot identify where the actual prorated value or credit applied to the upgrade is exposed in the transaction or refund history. My questions are: Is there any way to retrieve the actual prorated refund or credit amount when a user upgrades a subscription? Is this information available through the App Store Server API (e.g., Get Transaction History) or any other API endpoint? If not, is there any recommended method to determine how much of the previous subscription was credited toward the upgraded subscription? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

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.

I enrolled yesterday. Paid the money. It's already hit my credit card. Still shows that I'm not a member. You had zero problem taking my money, where is the service I paid for?

Hi everyone, I've exchanged several emails with support already and didn't receive meaningful answer. Everything sounds automated or the person responding is very ... not paying attention to my questions let's say. The problem I'm facing is I have released an app more than a year ago. Someone else released app with identical name few weeks after me. Developer support mentioned something about localisations and that apps with different localisations can have same name. To be honest, I don't understand that at all. Facts: both apps have identical name both apps are available only in english language according to the store listing both apps are available in same regions I wouldn't be bothered about it too much, but my "competition" is not really great and have received some bad reviews. The problem is obvious. Users are mixing my app with my competitor, writing bad feedback, asking questions about the other app and it generally is starting to be a problem now that my app is gaining more traction. It also isn't really great if you want to point someone to your app and you have to mention more details than a name so they can find MY app. So I have two questions. How the hell could someone release an app with identical name? Is there anything I can do about it? A way to fight it? I have no legal rights for the name obviously, but it isn't anything general and I did spend quite some time finding right name that wasn't already taken.

Hi everyone, My previous updates were usually processed within 24-48 hours, so I’m concerned if there might be an issue or if there's a general delay in the review queue. Should I continue to wait, or is it time to contact the App Review team directly or Shall i re-submit another build ? Has anyone else experienced similar delays recently?

I need to validate whether specific menu items are correctly enabled/disabled. The XCUIAutomation elements for my menu items do not appear in the tree shown by displaying the XCUIApplication object in the debugger when building and testing the iPadOS version of my application. When running the application in an iPad simulator, I can make the menu bar appear by swiping down. The testing works as expected for the MacOS build and test. I did try to use the recording feature, but was not successful in creating a series of commands that worked for a test run.

Anyone knows to comply with Laws in Brazil, should we use all of the available age verification categories except the case selfDeclared category? In other words does Apple have a specific recommendation on which IOS categories for the verified age categories are recommended/not recommend to use for compliance? I didn't find any info regarding this

Subject: Technical Report: Float32 Precision Ceiling & Memory Fragmentation in JAX/Metal Workloads on M3 To: Metal Developer Relations Hello, I am reporting a repeatable numerical saturation point encountered during sustained recursive high-order differential workloads on the Apple M3 (16 GB unified memory) using the JAX Metal backend. Workload Characteristics: Large-scale vector projections across multi-dimensional industrial datasets Repeated high-order finite-difference calculations Heavy use of jax.grad and lax.cond inside long-running loops Observation: Under these conditions, the Metal/MPS backend consistently enters a terminal quantization lock where outputs saturate at a fixed scalar value (2.0000), followed by system-wide NaN propagation. This appears to be a precision-limited boundary in the JAX-Metal bridge when handling high-order operations with cubic time-scale denominators. have identified the specific threshold where recursive high-order tensor derivatives exceed the numerical resolution of 32-bit consumer architectures, necessitating a migration to a dedicated 64-bit industrial stack. I have prepared a minimal synthetic test script (randomized vectors only, no proprietary logic) that reliably reproduces the allocator fragmentation and saturation behavior. Let me know if your team would like the telemetry for XLA/MPS optimization purposes. Best regards, Alex Severson Architect, QuantumPulse AI

'Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness' - "...could not be found in the submitted binary." I have checked with internal and external testers and my devices and simulators, everyone sees the in app purchases but I just had my submitted rejected for the second time with the comment that these in-app none-consumable purchases cannot be found with the submitted binary. I even attached a slow step by step screen recording for the review reply after the first rejection showing how to reach the purchasable packs by navigating through only 3 buttons: "How to access the purchase flow: Launch the app Tap the bottom-center Settings button (icon: switch.2) Tap “Customisation gallery” Scroll to find any pack listed above Tap the pack price chip Tap “Buy pack – [price]” to start the StoreKit purchase flow" I also attached a clear image along with detailed instruction (same as above) for the Review Information. and the second rejection was received today for the same reason. I'm being guided to the localization 'Developer Action Needed'. I'm not sure what more can be done? I feel like my review replies aren't even looked at.

Hello, We are facing an issue with In-App Purchases (subscriptions) in two iOS apps built with React Native + react-native-iap. Issue Some users receive the error: E_CONNECTION_CLOSED during the purchase flow. However: The payment is successfully deducted via the App Store. The subscription appears in the user's Apple ID subscription list. But on our side: The app does not receive the StoreKit transaction callback No receipt or transaction ID is delivered Our backend cannot validate the purchase. Restore Purchases When affected users try Restore Purchases, StoreKit returns: No purchases found even though the subscription is visible in their Apple ID. Most affected users are from India, and many payments are made via UPI through App Store billing. Has anyone experienced a case where: *the user is charged *the subscription exists in Apple ID *but StoreKit never returns the transaction or receipt? Any suggestions on how to recover these transactions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, Our Apple Developer Program membership is active and renewed until 2027, and the updated terms and conditions were accepted a few days ago by the account holder. However, in App Store Connect we are still seeing the following messages: "Your Apple Developer Program subscription has expired. Your apps won't be available on the App Store until you renew it. To renew the subscription, the account holder must go to the Membership section of their account on the Apple Developer website." "The Apple Developer Program license agreement has been updated and needs to be reviewed. To update your apps and submit new apps, the account holder must log in to their account, review the updated agreement, and accept it." Both actions appear to have already been completed, but the warnings are still displayed in App Store Connect. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Is there any known delay for the system to reflect the updated membership status, or any additional step that we might be missing? Thank you.

Popular automated testing systems like FireBase [1] and WeTest [2] expect the uploaded test to include the Debug-iphoneos directory generated by Xcode. However, in all of our builds on Xcode 26.3, this folder is created but remains empty. There are some other folders with the same name in subdirectories, but these only contain intermediate build files. Now we're looking for configuration or settings in Xcode to restore the original behavior, where the top-level Debug-iphoneos directory gets populated with a complete image of the test target, include the binary and resource files. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! [1] https://firebase.google.com/docs/test-lab/ios/run-xctest [2] https://www.wetest.net/documents/detail/automation/d8yaA7yz

Does a payment that is processed within the app, that generates a QR-Code for the redeeming of a real-life-good (such as tickets, vouchers for drinks, etc.), fall under IN-APP-PAYMENT regulation, which would get a fee of 15-30% on top or can that payment be processed with an external mechanism such as Stripe?

Hello everyone, I'm building Mixify (https://mixify.fr), a French SaaS platform for professional DJs and commercial venues (bars, lounges, event spaces). I'm looking for guidance on whether my use case is compliant with MusicKit JS policies. How it works: The Host (a venue owner or DJ) logs into the Mixify dashboard using their own Apple Music subscription. The Guests scan a QR code to access a web interface where they can browse the Apple Music catalog and suggest songs. The Host reviews suggestions, accepts or rejects them, and accepted songs are added to the playback queue. Playback is handled entirely by MusicKit JS in the host's authenticated browser session, connected to the venue's speakers. Key points: Mixify is a paid SaaS (starting at €49/month) — we charge for event management tools (dashboard, analytics, guest interaction), not for access to music content. Only the authenticated Apple Music subscriber hears/controls playback. Guests only browse and suggest — they never access playback. No content is downloaded, cached, or redistributed. We use the official MusicKit JS player exclusively. Venues are responsible for their own public performance licenses (SACEM in France). My questions: Does this B2B workflow — where a SaaS manages song request logistics but relies on MusicKit JS solely for playback by an authenticated subscriber — comply with the MusicKit guidelines? Are there any specific restrictions on using MusicKit JS in a commercial/venue environment that I should be aware of? Is there a recommended way to contact Apple Developer Relations directly for a formal compliance review of this use case? I've already submitted an inquiry via the Apple Developer contact form and email, but I'd appreciate any community insight or experience with similar integrations. Thank you!

I have faced a problem while I was trying to implement a reorder drag & drop view. I found that when I add any kind of .gesture or .simultaneousGesture, a ScrollView's scrolling behavior wasn't working properly (does not scroll at all). ScrollView(.vertical, showsIndicators: false) { ForEach($items) { $item in EditorCard(stepDetails: item) .simultaneousGesture( customCombinedGesture(item) ) } } This ScrollView worked fine with .onLongPressGesture(), however, I wanted to use custom gestures sequences.

Hello! My name is Mason Prather. I'm a graduate student at Kennesaw State University and a Research Engineer working in XR environments through my Graduate Research Assistant role. I’m currently building a research prototype that connects a mobile companion application to a VR headset. The mobile application is built in Unity and deployed on iOS, and it streams video frames to a remote Unity client using WebRTC. Environment Device: iPhone 15 OS: iOS 26.3 (tested on physical device, not Simulator) Engine: Unity 2022.3.57f1 Graphics API: Metal Streaming Technology: WebRTC (Unity WebRTC package) Architecture: Mobile Unity app streaming video frames to a remote Unity client Receiver Device: Meta Quest Pro headset (Unity application) Networking: LAN (UDP discovery + TCP signaling) Video Source: Unity RenderTexture Goal The goal of the system is to allow a VR user to view media stored on their phone inside a VR environment. The iOS app: renders or captures media content converts frames into a WebRTC video track streams the video to the headset Current Status Connection setup works correctly. Observed behavior: Signaling connection successful ICE candidate exchange successful PeerConnection state becomes Connected Video track created successfully However, the receiving application displays black frames. iOS App Details The video source originates from a Unity RenderTexture. Inside the phone application: RenderTexture displays correctly Frames appear correct locally But the receiving peer does not display the frames. Relevant Components Unity WebRTC package iOS Metal rendering pipeline Custom TCP signaling LAN discovery via UDP Expected Behavior Rendered frames should transmit via WebRTC and appear on the remote device. Actual Behavior The remote video track is active, but the rendered frames appear black on the receiving client. Questions Are there known issues involving Unity WebRTC + iOS Metal texture capture? Are there specific pixel format requirements when streaming textures from Unity on iOS? Could the issue relate to texture readback limitations or GPU synchronization? I am more than happy to provide screenshots and console logs upon request. If anyone has experience streaming Unity video frames via WebRTC on iOS, I would greatly appreciate any guidance.

When trying to load an ambisonics file using this project: https://github.com/robertncoomber/NativeiOSAmbisonicPlayback/ I get "Unexpected Ambisonics format". Interestingly, loading a 3rd order ambisonics file works fine: let ambisonicLayoutTag = kAudioChannelLayoutTag_HOA_ACN_SN3D | 16 let AmbisonicLayout = AVAudioChannelLayout(layoutTag: ambisonicLayoutTag) let StereoLayout = AVAudioChannelLayout(layoutTag: kAudioChannelLayoutTag_Stereo) So it's purely related to the kAudioChannelLayoutTag_Ambisonic_B_Format
