Hi everyone, I downloaded Xcode 27.0 today because I need the Metal Toolchain for Unreal Engine 5.6 on my Mac. Xcode itself is installed and working, but Unreal is having issues because the Metal Toolchain doesn't seem to be installed. When I run: xcrun metal --version I get: error: error: cannot execute tool 'metal' due to missing Metal Toolchain; use: xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain I tried: sudo xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain but it just stays on: Beginning asset download... If I cancel it, I get: xcodebuild: error: Download was cancelled. (Asset download for com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain ...) I've also run: xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch and installed the latest Command Line Tools for Xcode 27.0 through Software Update. xcrun --find metal does find the executable, but the actual Metal Toolchain appears to be missing. I'm mainly trying to get this working so I can use Unreal Engine 5.6. Has anyone had this issue with Xcode 27, or know the correct way to install the Metal Toolchain when xcodebuild -downloadComponent gets stuck at "Beginning asset download"? Thanks!

Starting with Xcode 27, my attempt to start a debug session for my C++ project fails. The Run scheme used has the Console setting configured for "Terminal" fails. The Terminal opens, but there appears to be a failure in the execution of the 'darwin-debug' command in the shell spawned for the debug session: Here's the output in the Terminal: Last login: Sat Sep 19 13:46:54 on ttys001 /bin/bash -c 'arch -arch arm64 "/Volumes/MyPassport/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Resources/darwin-debug" --unix-socket=/tmp/7RBHab --arch=arm64 --working-dir "/Volumes/MyPassport/paulrockwell/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/GNU_APL-gulwhsgobkphkodqgsftvqohegyk/Build/Products/Debug" --disable-aslr --env="OS_ACTIVITY_TOOLS_PRIVACY=YES" --env="OS_LOG_DT_HOOK_PREFIX=OSLOG-E37B26CB-6471-4B1C-ACB7-48236B4EC921" --env="TERM=dumb" --env="SHELL=/bin/zsh" --env="MTL_DEBUG_LAYER_VALIDATE_STORE_ACTIONS=0" --env="DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Volumes/MyPassport/paulrockwell/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/GNU_APL-gulwhsgobkphkodqgsftvqohegyk/Build/Products/Debug" --env="SWIFT_BACKTRACE=enable=no" --env="CA_ASSERT_MAIN_THREAD_TRANSACTIONS=0" --env="CFLOG_FORCE_DISABLE_STDERR=1" --env="__XCODE_BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR_PATHS=/Volumes/MyPassport/paulrockwell/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/GNU_APL-gulwhsgobkphkodqgsftvqohegyk/Build/Products/Debug" --env="IDE_DISABLED_OS_ACTIVITY_DT_MODE=1" --en% paulrockwell@Upstairs ~ % /bin/bash -c 'arch -arch arm64 "/Volumes/MyPassport/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Resources/darwin-debug" --unix-socket=/tmp/7RBHab --arch=arm64 --working-dir "/Volumes/MyPassport/paulrockwell/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/GNU_APL-gulwhsgobkphkodqgsftvqohegyk/Build/Products/Debug" --disable-aslr --env="OS_ACTIVITY_TOOLS_PRIVACY=YES" --env="OS_LOG_DT_HOOK_PREFIX=OSLOG-E37B26CB-6471-4B1C-ACB7-48236B4EC921" --env="TERM=dumb" --env="SHELL=/bin/zsh" --env="MTL_DEBUG_LAYER_VALIDATE_STORE_ACTIONS=0" --env="DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/Volumes/MyPassport/paulrockwell/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/GNU_APL-gulwhsgobkphkodqgsftvqohegyk/Build/Products/Debug" --env="SWIFT_BACKTRACE=enable=no" --env="CA_ASSERT_MAIN_THREAD_TRANSACTIONS=0" --env="CFLOG_FORCE_DISABLE_STDERR=1" --env="__XCODE_BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR_PATHS=/Volumes/MyPassport/paulrockwell/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/GNU_APL-gulwhsgobkphkodqgsftvqohegyk/Build/Products/Debug" --env="IDE_DISABLED_OS_ACTIVITY_DT_MODE=1" --en There appears to be a missing single quote in the command line, but if I complete it, darwin-debug fails to start with the following error message: darwin-debug: option `--en' requires an argument This worked on Xcode 26. Any thoughts on what might have changed and can I update the project to get around this? This issue is happening on any C++ project that I've created on prior versions of Xcode. And yes, I need to debug operation of one of the projects using the Terminal - the one project I'm interested in is GNU APL, which makes heavy use of terminfo and alternate character sets in its operation.

I am posting here because I have exhausted the normal Apple Developer Support channels and my Developer Program enrollment issue is still unresolved. Case: 20000125784320 I have been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for several weeks. The enrollment/identity verification process has repeatedly failed or shown “Unable to continue. Contact support.” Since opening the case: I have exchanged/sent 30+ emails regarding the issue. I have provided Apple with the requested identity documents, screen recording, Apple Account information, device information and other verification details. I followed the troubleshooting instructions provided by multiple Developer Support advisors. I initially tried enrollment on a Mac mini M2. I subsequently also obtained an iPhone and tried from there, but the enrollment issue remains. I have repeatedly tried Apple's telephone support. On one occasion I waited more than 70 minutes without an advisor answering, and other calls have had similar results. Despite providing the requested information, I continue to receive similar troubleshooting responses rather than a resolution of the underlying enrollment/account issue. Please do not simply direct me to developer.apple.com/contact/. I have already been using that support channel extensively, and the lack of a resolution there is precisely why I am posting here. This is no longer a minor inconvenience. Our application is already available on Android, while our iOS launch remains blocked before we can even begin the App Store publishing process. We had planned a broader international marketing campaign around the launch, and the continued delay is causing significant business and revenue impact. We are now considering what formal remedies may be available to us, including seeking legal advice regarding the losses resulting from the prolonged unresolved situation. I would much rather have Apple resolve the enrollment issue so that we can move forward. I am not asking Apple to bypass identity verification or any Developer Program requirement. I am ready to provide whatever legitimate verification Apple requires. I simply need someone capable of reviewing the actual account/enrollment status and explaining what is blocking it. If an Apple representative or another developer who has experienced this exact “Unable to continue” enrollment issue can provide a path to the appropriate enrollment/identity verification team, I would appreciate the help.

xcode cannot startup xcode cloud.

I'm trying to test on the new iPhone Duo simulator (Xcode 27.1 beta), but I cannot find a way to unfold the device anywhere in the Device Hub. The floating posture widget that is supposed to appear at the bottom center of the window simply isn't rendering for me. I thought it might just be hidden, but I've combed through the entire macOS menu bar (Device, Controls, View, etc.) and the options to change the fold state are completely absent from the dropdowns as well. Has anyone else run into this UI bug? Is there a hidden setting to toggle the posture controls back on, or a keyboard shortcut to force the simulator into its flat full-screen state in the meantime? Any help is appreciated!

Hello Apple Developer Community, I’m trying to connect a Bitbucket repository to Xcode Cloud through App Store Connect, but the connection consistently fails with an HTTP 403 response. Environment Product: Xcode Cloud / App Store Connect SCM: Bitbucket Cloud Integration: App Store Connect → Xcode Cloud → Bitbucket Date: September 15, 2026 Time: 3:51:44 PM IST / 10:21:44 UTC Apple Correlation ID: TIIRWMUD46W7OMZ7UDWXBRFI7E HTTP Status: 403 I have Administrator access in both App Store Connect/Apple Developer and the Bitbucket workspace/repository. What I have already checked I contacted Bitbucket Support and provided them with the browser network/HAR capture from the failed connection. Bitbucket confirmed that the App Store Connect Bitbucket callback returned HTTP 403. However, they explained that the browser capture cannot show the subsequent server-to-server communication between Apple/Xcode Cloud and Bitbucket. Bitbucket therefore asked Apple to investigate the server-side request using the Apple Correlation ID and timestamp. They indicated that the failure could potentially involve: Apple rejecting the Bitbucket OAuth callback. Apple receiving the callback but failing while processing it. A server-to-server request from Apple to Bitbucket returning an error. An OAuth authorization-code or access-token exchange failure. The 403 being generated by Apple's callback service. My question Has anyone experienced a similar HTTP 403 when connecting Bitbucket Cloud to Xcode Cloud through App Store Connect? Also, is there a known Xcode Cloud/App Store Connect requirement for Bitbucket OAuth or access tokens that could cause this type of 403 even when the user has administrator permissions? If an Apple engineer is able to review the server-side logs, could the following details help identify the failure? Apple Correlation ID: TIIRWMUD46W7OMZ7UDWXBRFI7E Timestamp: September 15, 2026, 10:21:44 UTC HTTP Status: 403 Bitbucket has already confirmed that the relevant server-to-server communication is not visible in the browser HAR, so I’m trying to determine which side is generating the 403 and at which stage of the OAuth flow it occurs. Any guidance from someone familiar with Xcode Cloud + Bitbucket integration would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone. I’m just an ordinary user with no programming knowledge—and certainly not a developer. I simply wanted to try out iOS 27 before the final public release. I logged into "Apple Developer" with my Apple ID, and now, it seems I’m stuck receiving developer versions on my device forever. My question is: Is it possible that Apple might soon allow Apple IDs that merely logged in—but never actually became developers—to stop receiving developer versions on their devices? It would be great if that happened. Thanks a lot.

I am a developer from China, and I was registering for an Apple Developer account. The first time, I did it on my MacBook Pro 2018 and submitted the registration application. At the same time, I did not notice the email Apple sent requesting a supplementary photo of my ID card. During this period, in order to package my app for release, I bought a new MacBook. When I logged into the Apple Developer app on the new MacBook, the Apple Developer Program was still in a state where I could submit a registration application. I was not sure what had happened (at this point I had already paid the first year's $99), so I submitted the registration application again, and then I was prompted that my ID card could not be verified. I sought help from customer service, and they told me that because I changed devices during the registration process, my ID card had been banned by the backend and I could never register again. I feel desperate about this result. During the registration process, I was not told that I could not change devices. Also, when I accessed the Apple Developer app on the new device, it did not show the progress of my previous registration submission, which made me think I needed to submit the registration again. My app has already been developed and is waiting to be released, and now this outcome is unacceptable to me. Please help me.

I’m designing a voluntary self-control/safety app for adults using FamilyControls/ManagedSettings with individual authorization. When a user voluntarily starts a timed protection session, can the app hide or block itself for the duration of that session so the user cannot easily locate the app and uninstall it? When the DeviceActivity schedule ends, could an extension remove that restriction so the app becomes available again automatically? I understand that an adult may ultimately be able to revoke Family Controls authorization through Settings. I’m specifically asking whether the app itself can be hidden/blocked during the active session.

I have a problem downloading Xcode components like Metal Toolchain or Developer Documentation. The action stuck with the status "Preparing to download". The symptoms started several weeks ago. I noticed this when my copy of Xcode 27 beta stopped showing the developer documentation. Strangely, when I re-launched Xcode it insists to download the Developer Documentation and keep showing "Preparing to download" while other components like Metal Toolchain, when I quit Xcode, it cancels the component download and that component status reverts to "Get". The symptoms continue thru the released version of Xcode27. Does anyone know the cure?

Hi everyone, I'm reaching out because I'm stuck and hoping someone from the community — or Apple — can help. On July 28, 2026, I received a termination letter for my Apple Developer Program membership. The letter cites Section 3.2(f) of the ADP Agreement and states that Apple has "good reason to believe" I violated it due to "documented indications of fraudulent conduct." However, the letter provides no specific details, no examples, and no explanation of what conduct triggered this decision. It explicitly states it's "not intended to be a complete statement of the facts." I immediately opened a support ticket (Case ID: 20000122541025) asking for clarification and to appeal the decision. It has now been 1.5 weeks with zero response beyond the automated acknowledgment email. To make things more concerning: I noticed that my role on the team is now showing as "Finance", even though I am the Account Holder. I did not make this change myself, and I have no explanation for how or when it happened. This makes me wonder if there was unauthorized access to my account, and whether that could be connected to whatever triggered the "fraud" determination. I've since: Submitted a follow-up through the "Need assistance with accessing your developer account" contact form Checked my Apple ID security settings for signs of unauthorized access Been waiting for any kind of substantive response Has anyone else experienced: A termination for "fraudulent conduct" with zero specifics provided? Their account role being changed without their knowledge? Long response delays (1.5+ weeks) on Developer Program Support tickets for termination appeals? Any advice on how to escalate this, or realistic expectations on response time, would be greatly appreciated. This has real business impact and I'd like to understand what actually happened before accepting a decision I don't have visibility into. Thanks in advance.

I am posting this because the normal support channel has stopped responding, and I would like to know whether anyone from Apple can look at the case, or whether other developers have found a way out of the same situation. Case number: 102948857237 Summary I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual. My app is finished and tested on device. The enrollment has been blocked for more than two months. After a formal escalation, support confirmed on 2 September that the case had been re-escalated to an internal team. There has been no update since. Timeline Individual enrollment failed repeatedly with a generic error. The case was referred to an internal team. Support asked whether I was associated with another developer account. I asked that any legacy associations be removed. I found and reported, on my own initiative, an older secondary Apple Account in my name. It has no developer program history. I removed all device associations from it. Support told me my device is registered as a trusted device on other Apple accounts, and that I must contact those account holders to have it removed. Support could not tell me who they are. When I asked which of my own devices was involved, support replied that Apple has no access to device information. The Enroll option in the Apple Developer app disappeared at the time of my first phone support contact and has not come back. I sent a formal escalation asking for a clear answer and a senior advisor. On 2 September support replied that the case had been re-escalated to the internal team. No update since, despite a follow-up. What I have ruled out None of my devices have been used with any Apple Account other than my own. The Mac used for enrollment has no MDM profile and is not device-enrolled (profiles show -type enrollment returns "Client is not DEP enabled"). Two-factor authentication, legal name, address and payment details are valid and current. The problem Points 4 and 5 cannot both be true. Either a specific device association has been found, in which case Apple can identify or remove it, or none has been found, in which case the instruction was generic and the block is a manual hold on the account. In both cases the resolution sits on Apple's side. There is nothing more I can do from mine. My questions Could someone at Apple look at case 102948857237 and confirm whether a device association actually exists? Has anyone else been told to remove trusted device associations from unidentified accounts, and how was it resolved? Is there any channel beyond the contact form for enrollment cases that have stalled after escalation? I will update this thread with the outcome so others in the same loop can use it.

Our Apple Developer Program membership for Avorp LLC was recently terminated under Section 3.2(f), citing “documented indications of fraudulent conduct associated with” my account. I am trying to understand the basis for this decision. Avorp LLC is a legitimate and independently operated U.S. software company. Its enrollment information was verified by Apple, and the account currently has no published apps on the App Store. I have not engaged in fraudulent reviews, payment fraud, account circumvention, or any other dishonest activity through this developer account. Like I said we don't even have a published application yet. I also work professionally as a freelance software developer and have previously worked on unrelated client projects involving Apple development resources. If an association with a former client account, project, device, or development environment contributed to this termination, I would like to clarify that such client work is entirely separate from Avorp LLC and does not imply ownership of or responsibility for the client's account or activities. The termination notice does not identify the specific activity, account, transaction, application, or association that Apple considers fraudulent. I have already submitted a reinstatement request. I am posting here to ask whether an Apple representative can clarify the appropriate escalation path for a manual review of the account associations involved in a Section 3.2(f) termination. I am fully prepared to provide company records, contracts, client-work documentation, or development records if needed to verify that Avorp LLC is independent and legitimate.

Hi everyone, My Apple Developer Program membership was previously converted from an Individual membership to an Organization membership. I have not changed my Apple Account country or region. My membership has now expired, and my apps are no longer available on the App Store. I am ready to pay the renewal fee immediately, but I cannot find a working renewal method: There is no “Renew Membership” button on the Apple Developer website. There is no renewal option in the Apple Developer app. I cannot find an Apple Developer subscription to renew in my Apple Account subscriptions. I am signed in as the Account Holder for the organization. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support, but so far I have only received an automated acknowledgment. Has anyone experienced this after converting an Individual membership to an Organization membership? Could the conversion have affected the subscription or renewal configuration, requiring Developer Support to correct it? I would appreciate any guidance on restoring the renewal option and getting my apps back on the App Store. Thank you.

I have been struggling with this for a while and have gone through every solution I have found on the forums, so I am hoping someone at Apple or in the community can shed some light on the actual root cause.

The only blocker is DDI services (ddiServicesAvailable: false). Questions What does Code=1002 "No provider was found." actually mean in the context of devicectl? Is there a provisioning service or entitlement missing on the Mac side? Why does devicectl manage ddis update report success but never create /Library/Developer/DeveloperDiskImages? Is there a prerequisite directory or permission that needs to exist first? Is there a way to manually force-install the DDIs from the Xcode bundle, bypassing the update mechanism? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Happy to run additional diagnostics if needed.

Xcode 16 and 26 changes in painful way how the Tab key works during autocomplete. Previously, pressing Tab would extend the typed text up to the word match. For example, we have two classes: NSViewController and NSViewCoordinator BEFORE, typing: "NSV" + Tab used to complete to NSViewCo Now, in Xcode 26, pressing Tab just use the first suggestion. Stupidly. Especially when you want DispatchQueue and it gaves you DispatchSemaphore… That is very inconvenient because very often I want just see all possible cases with some prefix...without need of typing all prefix manually. How to restore the previous behavior? How to do autocomplete word-by-word?

Hello, I submitted an Apple Developer Program enrollment as an organization on July 24, 2026. 39 days later, my account still shows "Your enrollment is being processed. Your enrollment ID is M4FJHZY948." Since submitting, I have received no document requests, no verification call, and no emails from Apple beyond the initial confirmation. I have checked spam and junk folders throughout. This is blocking App Store Connect setup for a release we have ready to submit. Could an Apple team member please review this enrollment and let me know whether anything is needed from my side? I can provide documentation or take a verification call at any time. Thank you.

Hello, I am reaching out here because I am experiencing a critical issue with unpaid earnings and cannot get a response through the standard App Store Connect support channels. I recently realized that my account currency was set incorrectly. Because of this issue, several payments were never delivered to my bank: A few hundred dollars from 2024. Over $1,000 from about two months ago. I have repeatedly tried to contact support to get this resolved, even reaching out to other departments out of desperation, but no one has answered me through any medium. To make matters worse, whenever I submit a case to the Finance department, it completely disappears from my "Recent Issues" dashboard. The only cases that remain visible are my App Review threads all of my financial disputes simply vanish after I submit them. Fortunately, I have kept a manual record of the case numbers for every ticket I have opened. Having these funds in limbo with absolutely no communication is incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. Has anyone else experienced finance tickets disappearing from their dashboard? How can I escalate this so an actual representative can look up my case numbers and help release my missing funds? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

In Xcode's Settings → Intelligence section, there's no built-in AI agent/model available, only chat bots.
