Is this place just for customers of the "developer program" to help each other, or is there any apple employees here able to help, with privileged access? Seems to me that not, but i prefer to ask anyway, it's not clear to me Because if there are some employees here, can you please do your job regards

There seems to be some kind of problem with the forum software incorrectly redacting certain words. It's even censoring Apple employees when they use the word "s i g n a l" in this post, which is now titled, "iOS Network ****** Strength" So, no, Apple employees are not complaining about iOS Network strength.

Helllo, I'd like to change my username. Is there a way I can do that? The one I have is one I made by accident and I would prefer not to create an entirely new apple account.

Hello, I notice the link on top of this site is incorrect: https://developer.apple.com/forums/tags/sign-in-with-apple-rest-api Its target (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple/sign_in_with_apple_rest_api) does not exist. It should probably be https://developer.apple.com/documentation/signinwithapplerestapi

It appears that on older posts the code blocks are completely broken. For example https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/678075 show the code block as a single inline value. Looking at the HTML this is what I see generated <code class="hljs block shell language-shell">Code Block shell#!/bin/bashrm -rf output/rm -rf simulator_fat/mkdir simulator_fatlibs=( "lib_static" ) #Add for i in "${libs[@]}"do lipo -create arm64_simulator/$i.a x86_64/$i.a -output simulator_fat/$i.a xcodebuild -create-xcframework -library simulator_fat/$i.a -library arm64/$i.a -output output/$i.xcframeworkdone</code> Obviously newer code blocks seem to be working (as long as the one above is) but it wreaks havoc trying to look at older posts.

This is supposed to be a photo of a screen shot I took of this site and this box saying there is no text it is empty when I tried to post my previous post And the box was not empty and the character counter was backwards it was in the negative -. Was -6870/7000 characters. The original post was for a force reset analytic that I found suspicious and malicious towards my device and apple. will not let me post the image

My original thread ID was: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/805350 This was a technical post with no links to products or services, but directly to native code designed to solve the problem I was posting about. I believe a single unhappy user may be abusing the flagging/reporting feature. I am contesting what this single user has alleged, namely that my content is “advertising.” Under my rights as per the Apple Developer Forums Agreement, I am requesting a review per Apple’s right to monitor and correct moderation actions. Thank you.

I've tried several times to post a reply to a message, but I got an error message instead, telling me to try again in a few minutes. I just found out that it did post my replies, without telling me. So now there's many duplicates of the same reply, one for each of my attempts. I'm using Firefox 144.0.2 (aarch64) on macOS 26.1 (25B78).

In a completely different thread mungbeans wrote: [quote='865903022, mungbeans, /thread/806960?answerId=865903022#865903022, /profile/mungbeans'] the forum only seems to archive posts from 2021 onwards. [/quote] I didn’t want to hijack that thread so I’ve started this thread for it. AFAICT forums hasn’t lost any content since we moved to a world-readable platform back in 2015. See here for more about that. A quick search suggests that your earliest thread was this: importing Contacts fails with "Cannot import module being compiled". (I’m not sure why I didn’t reply at the time.) What is interesting is that your profile page is only showing threads back to 2021. I see two parts to that: You have to choose Created as the sort order. That’ll show threads you created back to Jul 2016. However, there are still a few threads before Jul 2016 that aren’t showing up. I’m not sure what’s going on there, but I’ve reported it internally (i. 99636235).

The "Remind me later" button doesn't work on the "Customize your experience with Apple Developer" page on the Developer Forums. It just redirects me back to the same page. https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/723

It would be helpful to be able to upload short videos to the Developer Forums. FB21241023 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/725

Dragging and dropping images to forum posts doesn't work. It just inserts text with the image file path. FB21252859 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/726

Since recently, when I try to close a thread I created on an answer of mine, I get the following error: Trying later, next day, does not solve it. In the list of all threads, the post is not marked as answered. But if I look via Chrome or plain Safari, I see the answer itself is marked as correct: Which is not the case when opening in Safari Technology Preview (Release 233) where the same answer is still to be accepted:

I used to resize images (editing width and height when writing the post) in order to avoid ridiculously large images in reading published post. Since a few weeks, that does not work anymore. When I edit, I see the reduced size in Live Preview: But once posted, images are much larger as seen below: Looks like the image is now resized to fill full width. I filed a bug report: Dec 27, 2025 at 1:43 PM – FB21446929 PS: that change ignores @eskimo wise advice "Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips" n°10 (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/706527).

It would be helpful to have an option for filtering searches on the Developer Forums by date created or date of last activity. FB21588346 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/742

I watch some topics in the developer forums and when those topics are updated, I receive email notifications. That notification contains a link with the text "View the thread" which I believe is meant to take you to the corresponding latest reply in that topic. For example, I was watching this thread https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453 and when the latest reply there was posted to I received the notification with the "View the thread" link which pointed to https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453?answerId=872080022&replyId=872080022. However, clicking on that link redirects me to the login page. I think it would be better if that link was https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453?answerId=872080022#872080022 which would have taken me to the appropriate reply without forcing a login. Is that something that can be considered?

Currently when searching on the Apple Developer Forums it shows the current page number but doesn't show how many pages of results there are total. It would be nice if it also showed the total number of pages of results. FB21655261 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/744

Since a few weeks, I feel the content of the forums is less and less interesting. Probably 80% (not to say 90%) of the posts are about complains about review process, a serious question for those who have a problem but questions on which other developers can do absolutely nothing even if they bothered. Forum is becoming a wailing wall. With such a trend (but what to do to change it ?), forums will soon be of no interest at all, which is really unfortunate for the developers community.

It would be helpful to be able to edit forum posts for longer (ideally indefinitely) after posting and to have a GitHub issues style edit history. FB22328001 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/783

When I was reading a topic written by somebody, suddenly, the web browser (Safari) directed me to this Unauthorized error page. What the hell is this, Apple, Inc? It seems that things are quite chaotic about what Apple, Inc. does these days. I hope they will manage to sort things out.
