Hey guysI’ve been trying to pay for Apple Developer Program enrollment for about a week and still no luck. As well as I got from a small talk with the customer support – Apple never got my money. So it seems like my payment authorization fails all the time. But I don’t know what’s really going on.Have any of you ever had issues like that?Or maybe you just know what’s going on and how to fix it?

We have developed a Parental/Self control app using Screen time API.
We have used individual authentication to authorize the app, using the instructions here:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/familycontrols/authorizationcenter
The problem is , that individual auth can be disabled easily , by the following steps:
enter Settings app.
in Settings app, click on the Parental/Self control app.
click to disable screen time restriction.
show the device owner's face/fingerprint. (or pin code)
Why is that a problem:
Parental control apps, or self-control apps, are about giving control to the software, To make it hard for the user to disable the restrictions.
So using the flow I have introduced above, it's super-easy for a user to disable his Parental control restrictions, which misses the entire point of Parental/Self control idea.
Furthermore, not only the user have the means to unlock his screen time restrictions, he also MUST have the means to unlock it.
This makes Screen time (with individual auth) useless:
I have a code ready to make a great parental control app for my clients, with amazing ideas, but I can't use the Screen time API unless this problem is fixed.
Why child-parent auth is not enough:
My clients are grownups people between ages of 15-40, that are interested in self-control, so they don't have iCloud child accounts.
also, the child-parent auth solution forces my clients to give some control to other person, and my clients prefer their privacy. Some of them prefer self-control and not parental-control.
What I suggest as a solution:
1: Give more options to users how to disable the Screen time restrictions. including:
a second faceID / FingerPrint (that isn't the same as the one used to unlock the device)
a second pin password.
a string password
2: Give the users the option to choose to not have the device's owner Face/Finger/Pincode ID , as a method to disable the Screen time restrictions.
Recently I got an email stating I need to update age rating questionnaire. I have tried to update age rating for my app in App Store using the account owner already. I have followed this tutorial (https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-app-information/set-an-app-age-rating/), but the age rating cannot be updated. Anyone know how to update this, please let me know

webkitEnterFullScreen API is supported on iOS for video element, but not for a div element. Also as a fullscreen demo website shown, Safari on macOS supports div element but not on iOS. Is there any plan to add the support in iOS? If not is there any way to fullscreen a div element or make it run as fullscreen on Safari iOS?
Hi,
After updating to iOS 26, our app is facing playback failures with AVPlayer. The same code and streams work fine on iOS 18 and earlier.
Error - Domain[CoreMediaErrorDomain]:Code[-15628]:Desc[The operation couldn’t be completed.]:Underlying Error Domain[(null)]:Code[0]:Desc[(null)]
Environment:
iOS version: ios 26
React Native: 0.69
Video library: react-native-video (AVPlayer under the hood)
Stream type: HLS (m3u8) with segment (.ts) files
Observed behaviour:
Playback works initially on iOS 26.
On iOS 26, the stream fails at runtime after a few seconds/minutes (not on first load).
Network logs show 307 redirects on some segment requests. After this, AVPlayer throws the above error.
Playback fails intermittently on slow/unstable networks.
On macOS 26.1 (25B78) I can't give Full Disk Access to sshd-keygen-wrapper. Now my Jenkins jobs do not work because they do not have the permission to execute the necessary scripts. Until macOS 26.1 everything worked fine. I restarted the machine several times and tried to give access from Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Full Disk Access but it just does not work. I tried logging with ssh on the machine and executing a script but again nothing happened.
Hi all,
Has anyone else run into this issue in Xcode 26?
I’m logged into my paid ChatGPT Plus account, but the Xcode integration doesn’t seem to recognize the subscription. After a short period of use, I get the following error:
“Over daily limit. ChatGPT in Xcode will be unavailable for up to 24 hours. For higher limits, sign in with a paid ChatGPT account.”
Since I’m already signed in with a paid account, this looks like either a bug or a limitation specific to Xcode.
Is this expected behavior, or has anyone found a workaround to make Xcode properly recognize Plus accounts?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

The Shortcut Automation Trigger Transaction frequently times out, ultimately causing the shortcut automation to fail. Please see the attached trace for details.
Additionally, the Trigger is activated even when the Transaction is declined.

In the trace I see the error:

As the title says, I am enrolled in the small business program but Apple still takes about 30% of my sales. Most of my sales are from Swedish customers, not sure if this matters.
For instance I have an app with sales of: $109
After apples cut I am left with: $74
74/109 = 0.68.
Why is this? I have non consumable IAP in my app.

As per the US state law including SB2420 in Texas.
We are suppose to meet their compliance.
We have following queries
Could you please confirm whether the provided Declared Age Range API framework is available for sandbox testing
How does the API respond for a region other than Texas
When I use the .zoom transition in a navigation stack, I get a glitch when interrupting the animation by swiping back before it completes.
When doing this, the source view disappears. I can still tap it to trigger the navigation again, but its not visible on screen.
This seems to be a regression in iOS 26, as it works as expected when testing on iOS 18.
Has someone else seen this issue and found a workaround? Is it possible to disable interrupting the transition?

I have been working for a while now. Never encountered this issue. After accepting the invite from the organization. The organizations does not appear at developer apple account. But can see the organization at app store connect. Yes i have checked the account permissions. I have the admin role and developer role etc is checked everything is correct. This is not just me happening with my colleague as well.
We have an app with a few App Clip Advanced Experiences. Since around 28th of August the status of the experiences seems to be stuck in either CREATE_SUBMITTED or UPDATE_SUBMITTED and they don't get updated to PUBLISHED anymore.
I found this in the experiences JSON loaded by AppStoreConnect when editing the experiences:
"statuses": {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0,
"sum_other_doc_count": 0,
"buckets": [
{
"key": "PUBLISHED",
"doc_count": 182
},
{
"key": "CREATE_SUBMITTED",
"doc_count": 7
},
{
"key": "UPDATE_SUBMITTED",
"doc_count": 3
}
]
},
This shows that 10 experiences are stuck in other status than PUBLISHED.
I created a Feedback with ID FB15041208 and a DTS last week.
This is REALLY important for us to be fixed immediately since we have customers that rely on this!
Hello,
I am having a recurring issue using Swift Playgrounds version 4.6.4 on macOS 26.1.
Upon opening a file and every other time I start typing in the code section I get a prompt, the image below, two or three times. It doesn't matter if I accept or decline all or some of the prompts, as soon as I start typing on another line I get prompted another two or three times for permission.
It appears to me that prompt generates every time the preview pane tries to update. Declining the prompt breaks the preview but accepting the prompt only gets you through a single line of code before it appears again.
I believe this issue started after I updated to macOS26.1 as I had not encountered it before. I've also opened other files with Swift Playgrounds and encounter the same problem.
It could also be unrelated to the update and could be an issue with some permission setting somewhere, however, I have been unable to find what or where it could be.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Thank you for your time :)
We have a custom SecurityAgentPlugin that is triggered by multiple authorizationdb entries. Some customers report that the SecurityAgent process takes window focus even though no UI or windows are displayed.
Our plugin explicitly ignores the _securityAgent user and does not show any UI for that user. However, in macOS 26.1, it appears that the plugin still causes the SecurityAgent to take focus as soon as it is triggered.
Is this a change in macOS 26.1 or a bug? Can we do anything to prevent "focus stealing"?
Our team is in the process of updating our apps to comply with Texas's new state law.
In order to minimize user confusion and provide the most ideal flow to access the app as possible, we have a few questions we would like answered.
Summary of questions:
Is isEligibleForAgeFeatures intended to be accurate and accessible before the user has accepted the Age Range permissions prompt?
As other US states and/or other countries adopt a similar law going forward, will this instance variable cover those locations?
Will the runtime crashes on isEligibleForAgeFeatures and other symbols in the DeclaredAgeRange framework be addressed in a future RC or in the official release?
Details and Investigations:
With regards to isEligibleForAgeFeatures, our team has noticed that this value is always false before the age range prompt has been accepted. This has been tested on the XCode RC 26.2 (17C48).
Assuming the request needs to be accepted first,
isEligibleForAgeFeatures does not get updated immediately when the user chooses to share their age range (updated to true, when our sandbox test account is a Texas resident). Only upon subsequent relaunches of the app does this return a value that reflects the sandbox user's location. Is isEligibleForAgeFeatures intended to be accurate and accessible before the user has accepted the Age Range permissions prompt?
This leads to our follow-up question to clarify whether isEligibleForAgeFeatures explicitly correlates to a user in an affected legal jurisdiction–if future US states and/or other countries adopt a similar law going forward, will this instance variable cover those locations?
Can we also get confirmation about whether the runtime crash on isEligibleForAgeFeatures and other symbols in the DeclaredAgeRange framework will be addressed in a future RC or in the official release?
Thank you.

This issue was in the first iOS 26 beta and it still there with Xcode 26 beta 6 (17A5305f). Feedback is FB18581605 and contains sample project to reproduce the issue.
I assign a target and action to a UISlider for the UIControl.Event.valueChanged value:
addTarget(self, action: #selector(sliderValueDidChange), for: .valueChanged)
Here’s the function.
@objc
func sliderValueDidChange(_ sender: UISlider, event: UIEvent) {
print(event)
}
When printing the event value, there is a crash. When checking the event value with lldb, it appears uninitialized.
Can't Edit Age Ratings in App Information Section of App Store Connect for released App Versions. I only have option to View. I think some of the Age Rating questions are still unanswered but when I view them, I can't Edit them. Non-released apps of mine in App Store Connect allow me to edit answers to the Age Ratings questions but I can only View Age Rating questions for released apps. Do I have to create a new version/build and submit to App Store Connect to be able to Edit the Age Questions?
