Overview

Hey has someone figured out how or when does a report request become inactive? Is there like a fixed time period for how long an ONGOING accessType stays active? And does the same rule apply for ONE_TIME_SNAPSHOT? Has someone managed to create multiple active reports for both accessTypes per one app? And can you have multiple inactive ones?

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?

Hi, we are trying to have our app approved since 2 weeks now with the subscription attached, now we are in a very strange situation where the app is approved but the subscription is still "Waiting for review" and we don't understand how is possible considering the app binary have the subscription flow inside. Can you help us? We also asked an expedited review today for the app due to business needs and just the app is approved without the subscription. The app is "Hey Clary" ID: 6752716476 Thanks

I would like to renew my Apple Developer membership but I'm faced with this : I've filled the form and hit sent, but I didn't receive either a response or a receipt ; it's been multiple days. Is Apple ever going to respond ?

I purchased my Apple Developer program on March 2nd, and received payment confirmations, but have not yet received a final approval email. It has been more than 48 hours. Please help check the status

Hi! We’ve had Live Caller ID Lookup in production for a while. We’re seeing backend RPS on our /queries endpoint much higher than our expected incoming call volume. While testing with Console.app during an incoming call, it looks like iOS may still hit our service even when the caller number is already in the user’s Contacts - but I’m not 100% sure from logs alone. Can you confirm: Does iOS invoke Live Caller ID Lookup (i.e. call /queries) for every incoming call, including calls from saved Contacts? If yes, is this simply expected framework behavior? Thanks!

I have a group of XCUItest suites that were designed to run in parallel on simulators. They run fine in xcode 16.2, but when I try to run them in Xcode 26 they run fine the first time, but on the second time I get an error that the simulator cannot be found: "No matching device (62621AD4-C8D6-4A1B-B511-79236113FD94) ". This UDID seems to be from one of the clones that were spawned on the previous test run. No matching device (62621AD4-C8D6-4A1B-B511-79236113FD94) in set at /Users/myUser/Library/Developer/XCTestDevices Domain: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimError Code: 404 User Info: { DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2026-02-26 22:52:53 +0000"; IDERunOperationFailingWorker = "_IDEInstalliPhoneSimulatorWorker"; } If I clean all simulators and try to run again without closing Xcode, it keeps trying to access the clone that no longer exists. If I close an reopen xcode after removing all simulators ~/Library/Developer/XCTestDevices, xcode keeps trying the wrong device and I get the following error: Failed to clone device named 'iPhone 17 Pro'. (Underlying Error: The operation couldn’t be completed. Device was allocated but was stuck in creation state. Check CoreSimulator.log for more information.)

my apple develop account has been pending for 5 days and i contacted 2 days ago and they also havent gotten back to me I'm working on an app and would like to publish it but i cant even get a developer account does anyone know how to get this fixed or do i just have to keep waiting i heard 5 days is rare so am i just unlucky or is this never gonna get aproved

My app has been in "In Review" for 30 days now. I have e-mailed once with no reply and called twice with no helpful information. I have also requested a Expedited Review but that hasn't helped. If App Review could respond and help out in any way that would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I display the BackgroundLocationIndicator (blue/white bubble in status bar) in all my apps, that use background location service. Up to iOS 18 it allowed the user to tap on the bubble from within any other non fullscreen app and bring the app using the background location service to the foreground. In iOS26 this only works from the home screen. Is this intended behaviour or a bug ? If intended, please provide us with an option to allow the user to keep the pre iOS26 behavour. This was a quite convenient shortcut to jump directly to the locationservice using app.

I get the message on my iphone 14 as below. "Contact Us to Continue There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue. Please contact support." I raised the case no. 102822291300 to apple support and they replied to my email they can assist in identity verification and I cannot use developer account. It is very sad to see there is no support from apple to be able to resolve the issue. Their tool flagging the issue seems to have bugs and support team has expressed their inability to provide resolution. Can anyone support how this issue can be fixed? Thanks a lot for your support in advance. Kind Regards, Pradeep

This is my first attempt at creating a Wallet pass, actually a generic store card. When I see it with Pass Viewer on macOS, I get 1 look, when I see it with the iPhone simulator or iPhone proper, I get a different view. Neither is what I was hoping for, a simple vertical layout of an address. Could someone steer me in the correct direction? My json: "formatVersion": 1, "passTypeIdentifier": "pass.org.danleys.4KSBarcode", "serialNumber": "__SERIAL__", "teamIdentifier": "----", "organizationName": "4 K.I.D.S. Sake", "description": "4KSBarcode", "logoText": "4 K.I.D.S. Sake", "foregroundColor": "rgb(255, 255, 255)", "backgroundColor": "rgb(255,0,0)", "storeCard" : { "primaryFields" : [ { "key" : "ClientID", "label" : "", "value" : "" } ], "auxiliaryFields": [ { "key": "street", "label": "Address", "value": "339 Remington Blvd" }, { "key": "city", "label": "", "value": "Bolingbrook, IL 60440" } ] }, "barcode": { "format": "PKBarcodeFormatCode128", "message": "__SERIAL__", "altText": "__SERIAL__", "messageEncoding": "iso-8859-1" } } On macOS: On iOS: Thank you.

Hello, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program but I'm running into an ID verification issue. I'm in Canada and my ids are Canadian but I think my apple account still thinks my region is France (I changed back to Canada a few months ago and it shows Canada in Settings) since I had set it to France for when I was there. Also my phone number is still French. On Mac: my Canadian passport and Canadian driver's license are rejected as not valid for my region. On iPhone: the app just tells me to contact support. I've already reached out to Apple Developer Support but I have had no response for a few days. Is there a fix for this? I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the developer app.

Hi everyone, I want to avoid the iOS 26 Liquid Glass effect in my app’s UI. While researching, I found the following possible solution: Steps: Go to Info.plist Add the key: UIDesignRequiresCompatibility Type: Boolean Value: YES I have a few questions about this approach: According to the Apple Developer website, this seems to be a temporary solution. How long will this continue to work, and what would be the recommended long-term solution? Which iOS versions does this support (both older and upcoming versions)? If this method is not recommended, is there another way to disable or avoid the glass effect across the entire app without making major UI changes? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, My app has been in Waiting for Review since February 21, 2026. I submitted a support ticket 3 days ago and haven't received any response. App Name: PocketMoney Bundle ID: co.mypocketmoney.app Submission date: February 21, 2026 Is there anything I can do to move this forward? Has anyone else experienced unusually long wait times recently? Any guidance appreciated.

Please let me know to activate it

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.

I have a problem when applying rotationEffect to a map in in SwiftUI. The legal text in the map is transformed as shown in this image: The following code is part of a much larger and complex view; it is a minimal example to reproduce the error: import SwiftUI import MapKit struct ContentView: View { @State private var offset = CGSize.zero var body: some View { ZStack { let drag = DragGesture() .onChanged { g in offset.width = g.translation.width offset.height = g.translation.height } Map(interactionModes: [.zoom]) .frame(width: 320, height: 220) .rotationEffect(.degrees(Double(offset.width / 12))) .highPriorityGesture(drag) } } } I hope you can help me with this problem.

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,

Hi, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program approximately 2 weeks ago and my enrollment is still pending. I have not been charged the annual fee and I submitted a support ticket which has received no response. I'm a solo developer based in South Africa looking to publish my first iOS app. Is there anything I can do to move this along, or is this wait time normal? My support ticket has gone unanswered and I can't find a direct contact number to resolve this. Any help appreciated.
