We registered as a developer company (NGO) more than 50 days ago and it's still under review. We've already sent the documents, we've confirmed by phone, and every time we contact them we receive no information. They just tell us it's under review and there's no deadline for when this review will be completed. On the same day we registered with Apple, we registered with Google and our app has been published on Google for more than 30 days. We have no support or answers. Could someone help us to at least know a deadline for this review?

I'm looking for a way to make the following possible in Xcode (26.0 or later):
I select one or more lines of code. I then enter a hotkey (or select a menu item) that results in adding the line:
#ifdef SOME_MACRO
before the selection and adding the line:
#endif
after the selection.
Example:
Start with the following lines of code:
BOOL x = NO;
int y = 4;
NSString *str = @"Hello";
If I then highlight the int y = 4; line and use the proper hotkey or menu, the result would be:
BOOL x = NO;
#ifdef SOME_MACRO
int y = 4;
#endif
NSString *str = @"Hello";
Is something like this possible in Xcode?
I looked at code snippets but that doesn't seem to support wrapping existing code.
I looked at the Xcode Settings under Editor and Shortcuts and didn't see a way to add such a custom shortcut.
There does not seem to be a good area of this forum to post this, so i just post it. I joined the developer program, i made a payment of 99 US dollars, the money was sent from my bank account to Apple.Com, it said on my developers account that it could take up to 48 hours to get things registered and i would be all set to go with the developers account after that. Well, the money is still gone, and 1-2 hours after i made the payment my account now asks me to Join the program, just like before i joined and made the payment. This was two days ago so i sent a message to apple about this, still no answer from them so i dont feel very happy about this, no way in h*** i am going to make a new payment to try to join again when i already did join and did not ever got my money back. Anyone had any similar issues or know what i should do next ?

Hi Apple Developer Community and Support Team,
I'm reaching out for advice and potential escalation on a stalled organization enrollment that's blocking our app launch. Here's a quick timeline:
Initial enrollment hit issues with D-U-N-S verification (now resolved) and email code delivery, leading to multiple failed attempts and temporary blocks.
After unblocking via support, we resubmitted and were directed to higher department review.
Submitted all required docs (company formation, passport/ID, etc.) on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. No updates since—it's now Day 6 with zero communication on ETA.
This is critically urgent for our business: We have ~4,000 users pre-registered and waiting to download our personal development app (focused on habit-building and goal tracking). Projections show another 10,000 sign-ups in the next two weeks alone, pushing us to 15,000+ if resolved soon. These folks are already investing—our physical planners (promoting the app) are selling via Amazon and our website, http://www.freedommastery.com selling Life planners) and they're expecting seamless iOS access on launch day. Every day of delay risks churn, lost revenue, and momentum in a competitive space.
I've followed up via phone/email multiple times, but frontline support can't provide timelines or status. Enrollment ID: [Redact or insert your anonymized ID here for tracking].
Has anyone navigated a similar higher-review holdup? Tips for bumping priority (e.g., additional proof of urgency like waitlist data)? Any rough ETAs from recent org approvals? Grateful for any insights—Apple's ecosystem is key to our growth, and we'd love to get these users onboard ASAP.
Thanks in advance!

When I try to validate my app I get the following error:
Invalid bundle. Because your app supports Multitasking on iPad, you need to include the LaunchScreen.storyboard launch storyboard file in your com.augmentedReality.virtualTags bundle. Use UlLaunchScreen instead if the app's MinimumOSVersion is 14 or higher and you prefer to configure the launch screen without storyboards. For details, see: https:// developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/
uilaunchstoryboardname (ID: 236f630a-a014-48e8-910a-77d9c0ff6f51)
What should I do to fix it?
In the previous Xcode version and on another app it did not appear.
MacBook Pro M5, Tahow 26.1, Xcode 26.1.1
My device with Device ID (00008130-001E35840483401C) is stuck in Processing state and cannot be activated. Please refresh or delete it.
After having used Obj-C and C++ for years, I recently (~6 months) moved to Swift, which is hard for me but most often sends less obscure error messages (not always). My trouble is 1- why is it soooooo long (sometimes up to 20s - that's horrible) to get an object's variables accessible in the debugger? 2- In Xcode 16 why is it no longer possible to arrange my files as I did before (organised into folders from within Xcode - horrible when you get a bigger and bigger project)? 3- Why has it become impossible to see the retention cycles and retaining objects from with the memoryGraph (it's worth ~nothing) now !
Hello,
My project is GitLab and to access it we need VPN. How to connect Xcode Cloud to that repo if VPN is required for read it? Any solution to this? Any help is appreciated

Currently Xcode has iOS simulators that allow easily testing apps on older versions of iOS. It would be helpful if there was also a macOS simulator for testing apps on older versions of macOS.

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.

I have been using Xcode Version 26.1.1 on macOS Tahoe Version 26.1. In VIM mode, whenever I quickly tap d twice, to delete the complete line, most of the time Xcode crashes. Is anyone else facing this issue? Should I move to any older version of Xcode or any other solve for this?
I am a developer with a free developer account, and my account is under the legal age of majority. I know that, according to the terms in Section 6 of the Apple Developer Agreement, I must be the legal age of majority to use pre-release software, and yet the Software Update section of Settings on my device would allow me to install a beta release of iOS 26.
Is there a way for me to hide/remove this option without signing out of my account, and not have it appear again as an option until I reach the age of majority?

I’ve contacted support two or three times already and no response. I made the payment to create my Apple Developer account on the 26th and also received the invoice that same day, but the status still shows as pending. This is quite urgent, so I’m not sure what you can do on your side to help.

I use CI/CD dsym, downloaded into local directories, but there seems no direct way using it in Xcode
We are preparing to transfer one of our live applications to a different Apple Developer Organization and need clarification to avoid service disruption.
We would like guidance on the following points:
Sign in with Apple and Service ID Transfer:
We want to confirm whether the Service ID used for Sign in with Apple must be transferred along with the app, or if its configuration will automatically migrate as part of the transfer.
Additionally, is there a way to verify whether the app currently has any explicit association or dependency with the existing Service ID on the current developer account?
As per our findings, we do not have a ServiceID associated with SIWA. The SIWA is handled natively by iOS.
Creating or Updating a Service ID Before Transfer:
Since, the ServiceID is not associated, if we create a new Service ID now and assign it to the existing app for Sign in with Apple, will this have any impact on users who are already using the live app? Specifically, will creating or modifying a Service ID change the authorization state for currently authenticated Apple Sign In users?
Transfer Identifier Timing:
The transfer process requires generating a transfer identifier. Should this be done ahead of the Account Migration or only at the start of the transfer?
Also, will generating or using the transfer identifier require any change on the client side related to Apple Sign In?
We would appreciate recommendation for these steps and whether users should expect any authentication or billing disruptions during or after the app transfer.

Tech stack: React Native + Expo. We are using two solo developer accounts (not a business or team account).
Context: Friend and I set out to make an app together. Friend created app and set it up on Apple.
We worked on it together. He controlled devops (builds and submission).
Friend no longer can commit to development.
Wants to transfer to me. I create apple developer account.
After app transfer, my phone (deviceid) underwent a 14 day soft ban preventing builds. That has since been lifted.
There seems to be something in place preventing me from making dev builds on the original dev bundleid. It says it's still owned by him despite the app transfer.
Bottom line: what needs to happen so I can make dev builds?
Nice to have: we can both make dev builds under the same bundleid
