Auto-renewable subscriptions stuck in "Waiting for Review" causing StoreKit products unavailable during App Review
Hi Apple Developer Forums, I am experiencing a repeated issue with auto-renewable subscriptions during App Review for my iOS app. The app uses RevenueCat for subscription management. The subscription products exist in App Store Connect and are correctly configured, but they remain in "Waiting for Review". During App Review, the reviewer attempts to access the subscription paywall and receives an error stating that subscriptions are unavailable. This appears to happen because StoreKit cannot fetch the products while they are still waiting for review. This creates a loop: Subscriptions exist in App Store Connect and are in "Waiting for Review" App Review installs the app StoreKit cannot return the subscription products yet RevenueCat returns an "offerings_fetch_failed" error The reviewer sees "subscriptions unavailable" The app is rejected before the subscriptions are approved We have thoroughly verified the configuration: • Subscription group exists • All products are inside the group • Product IDs match exactly between App Store Connect and RevenueCat • RevenueCat is correctly configured with the Apple App Store API key • Offerings and packages are correctly configured in RevenueCat • The app correctly handles missing offerings and displays a fallback message • The latest TestFlight build shows a diagnostic message confirming the issue originates from StoreKit not returning products • The app build itself installs and runs normally This has now happened multiple review cycles and we have verified all configuration options. At this stage the only remaining explanation appears to be the order of the review process. It seems the subscriptions must be approved before StoreKit can return them, but the app is being evaluated before the subscriptions have been processed. Because of this, the reviewer sees the "subscriptions unavailable" message and rejects the app before the subscriptions have been approved. Is there a recommended process for submitting the first app version with auto-renewable subscriptions to avoid this situation? Specifically: • Should the subscriptions be approved before the app review begins? • Or is there a specific way to attach the subscriptions to the version when the "Add" option is not visible on the version page? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as we have now thoroughly checked all configuration and believe this may be a review workflow issue rather than a configuration problem. Thank you.

TestFlight install fails with “The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist” after successful upload (Flutter app)
Hello, I’m facing an issue installing my app from TestFlight on a physical iPhone device. App & Environment App: Desi Charades Framework: Flutter Distribution: TestFlight Build status: Upload completed Device: iPhone 7+ iOS version: 15.6 Tester type: Internal Apple Developer Program: Paid account Issue Description After uploading a build successfully to App Store Connect and adding it to TestFlight, the app appears in TestFlight with the Install button. However, when I tap Install, I receive the following error on the device: “Could not install Desi Charades App. The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” The build is visible in TestFlight, but installation fails immediately. Upload Warnings During archive upload, App Store Connect shows the following warnings: Upload Symbols Failed The archive did not include a dSYM for: ffmpegkit.framework libavcodec.framework libavdevice.framework The app uses ffmpeg-kit (Flutter plugin), which ships precompiled frameworks. Steps Already Checked Build shows in TestFlight Build added to test group Tester is assigned correctly Correct Apple ID signed in on device Device restarted Waited for processing to complete App Store availability set to “All Countries or Regions” Questions Can missing dSYM files for ffmpeg-kit frameworks cause TestFlight install failures? Are there additional TestFlight availability or processing checks that could cause this error? Is this error related to TestFlight build propagation or caching on Apple’s side? Any guidance on what could cause TestFlight to show the app but fail installation would be appreciated. Thank you.

Bridging Header doesn't seem to include my Swift class
I think have done everything by the book. I added a small Swift file to my Objective-C project. This is code in the project, not in a framework, so I did not use the public keyword: import Foundation @objc TestClass: NSObject { @objc init(){} } Adding this file prompted creating a bridging header and it should have added TestClass into it. I added the import to the Objective-C .m file. This didn't produce an error so the file must be there: #import "SoftServePro-Bridging-Header.h" I made a property for an instance of the class in the .h file: @property(nonatomic,strong) TestClass *test; I cleaned the project and did one compile for the precompiler to populate the bridging header. I have set Defines Module to Yes in Build Settings -> Packaging. I added a line in the .m code to create a TestClass: self.test=[[TestClass alloc]init]; And for my trouble I get the error message Now, this looks to me like TestClass is not in my bridging header because if it were it should know exactly what TestClass is, not just consider it a forward declaration. I haven't figured out any way to look at the actual contents of the bridging header after precompile, so I don't know if TestClass is there or not. The ONLY thing that I have not followed is that the documentation I have read says to put the bridging header in the same folder as the .xcodeproj file, but Xcode put it in with all the source code files (one folder down) and who am I to argue with Xcode??

How long did your App Store Small Business Program enrollment take?
Hey everyone I submitted my enrollment for the App Store Small Business Program on February 18th and I'm still waiting for a decision no response yet even after following up. I know Apple doesn't publish an official timeline, so I wanted to ask the community: How long did it take for your enrollment to be approved (or rejected)? A few things that would help: How many days/weeks did you wait? Did you get any follow-up emails asking for more info, or was it just a straight approval? Is there anything you did that helped speed things up? Would really appreciate hearing your experiences it's a bit nerve-wracking waiting without any status update! Thanks in advance!

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Stuck for Over 2 Weeks
Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and placed the $99 order. Shortly after, I received the email saying: “Thank you for your order. Your order request will be processed within 2 business days.” However, it has now been over two weeks and my membership has still not been activated. I also contacted Apple Developer Support about a week ago through the contact form, but unfortunately I have not received any reply so far. When I visit aninterestingwebsite.com, I still see the page prompting me to complete or place the order, even though I already placed it and received the confirmation email. Could someone from Apple please check the status of my enrollment or advise what I should do next? Thank you.

Apple Developer Program Enrollment: pending
Hello everyone, I'm currently waiting for my Apple Developer Program enrollment to be approved and wondering if my timeline is normal. My situation: Payment of $99 USD: ✅ Completed (have invoice and order number) Government-issued photo ID: ✅ Submitted Confirmation email received: ✅ Yes - "Thank you for providing the documents we requested. We will review them and follow up with you within two business days" Days since confirmation email: 3+ business days The email stated they would follow up within two business days, but it's now been more than three business days with no update. My questions: Is it normal for the review to take longer than the stated "two business days"? For those who were approved, did you receive multiple emails throughout the process, or just a final approval email? Has anyone experienced similar delays? What was the outcome? Just want to make sure nothing is stuck or requires additional action from my side. Thanks for any insights!

Long Delay in Apple Developer Program Enrollment Review
My Apple Developer Program Enrollment has been under review for over 6 weeks, and it is inside of the United States. Initially, I was informed that the Apple team would review the application and get back to us in 2 business days. However, I have not received any updates or resolutions since that initial communication. I have reached out to Apple Developer Support many times, and they told me that they cannot provide any updates and advised me to "simply wait." This delay is causing significant disruptions to our development timeline and impacting our business operations. Any idea of what I can do? I would greatly appreciate any insights from the community on how to address this situation effectively. Thank you so much!

Xcode Cloud: Unable to Notarize macOS App (Stuck in Infinite Waiting)
Hi everyone, I’m encountering an issue with Xcode Cloud when trying to notarize my macOS app. As shown in the screenshot, there are no errors in the logs, but the process gets stuck indefinitely. The message says: The post-action could not be completed because the build was canceled. No artifacts are generated at all. This problem started recently. Notarization works perfectly when I submit from my local Xcode, so it seems to be specific to Xcode Cloud. Has anyone else experienced this?

Instruments Crash using swiftui instrument
Instruments is crashing when the swiftui instrument is stopped (the session is finished) and the transfer begins from device to device: Crashed Thread: 11 Dispatch queue: com.apple.swiftuitracingsupport.reading Exception Type: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 4 Illegal instruction: 4 Terminating Process: exc handler [1633] I've tried removing derived data, reinstalling xcode, updating xcode (I originally thought this might be the issue -- I needed to update to 26.2 from the 26 RC -- the update didn't fix crash or change the crash report), and restarting both devices. I'm running Instruments/Xcode 26.2 on a MacBook Pro 15" (2018) running Mac OS 15.7.2 (24G325) with an iPhone 16 Pro Max running 26.2. Hoping someone else might have seen this or could help me troubleshoot. I find the swiftui instrument be helpful and like to use it :) I can post a complete crash report as well.

Significant change or restart app without location UIBackgroundModes key
Situation: We have an app that only uses location UIBackgroundModes key to restart our app on significant change events as we need it to connect with a BLE device (mounted in the car) when someone starts driving. We cannot use geofence as the car might be used by multiple people so position changes and we don't want to store locations and sent them to multiple users via our servers. So currently we use significant change and just ignore all other location data. During app review we got the following feedback: If the app does not require persistent real-time location updates, please remove the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key. You may wish to use the significant-change location service or the region monitoring location service if persistent real-time location updates are not required for the app features. Question: How to use the significant-change location service without the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key or is there any other way to start the app / connect with the BLE device when it is fully terminated/swiped away? Because the docs state that AuthorizationStatusAuthorizedAlways is required and without the UIBackgroundModes key location that wouldn't be triggered when app is in the background/swiped away. Reference: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/library/archive/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/LocationAwarenessPG/CoreLocation/CoreLocation.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009497-CH2-SW8

App stuck in “Ready for Review” for many days – is there currently a delay in App Review?
Hello everyone, I would like to ask if other developers are currently experiencing long delays to approve an app. In my case, my macOS app update (version 1.1) has been stuck in “Ready for Review” for more than 8 days without entering the review phase. Timeline: • Feb 21 – Initial submission • Feb 22 – In Review • Feb 25 – Rejected • Feb 25 – Resubmitted • Mar 2 – In Review • Mar 2 – Rejected • Mar 5 (Wednesday) – Submitted again → Ready for Review • Today – Still Ready for Review, never entered In Review All issues mentioned in the previous rejections were fixed and the build was resubmitted successfully. What also confuses me is that in the App Review section I see a red exclamation mark, even though there are no unresolved messages and the build shows as submitted. I would like to ask: • Are others currently seeing unusually long delays? • Could this indicate a queue issue or system problem? • Has Apple changed something recently in the review pipeline? Normally my previous versions were reviewed and approved in a couple of days, so this delay seems quite unusual. Thanks in advance for any insight from other developers.

Can't create a Live Activity from background
Our app is using the CLLocationManager to wake up the app near an iBeacon and then tries to connect to the accessory via bluetooth and UWB. For this to work in the background we need to create a Live Activity and show the user that the app is doing something. When the app is in the foreground or just recently got into the inactivity mode this works fine and we can use CoreBluetooth/NearbyInteraction even when the app then enters the background mode. But when the app is longer in the background creating a Live Activity via Activity.request() throws an ActivityAuthorizationError.visibility. According to the documentation the LiveActivityIntent is able to workaround this background restriction but I get the same exception when I create the LiveActivity from the perform() method. Is there another API to create Live Activities? Do I need to prepare the LiveActivityIntent somehow?

TestFlight install fails with “The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist” after successful upload (Flutter app)

However, when I tap Install, I receive the following error on the device: “Could not install Desi Charades App. The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” The build is visible in TestFlight, but installation fails immediately. Upload Warnings During archive upload, App Store Connect shows the following warnings: Upload Symbols Failed The archive did not include a dSYM for: ffmpegkit.framework libavcodec.framework libavdevice.framework The app uses ffmpeg-kit (Flutter plugin), which ships precompiled frameworks. Steps Already Checked Build shows in TestFlight Build added to test group Tester is assigned correctly Correct Apple ID signed in on device Device restarted Waited for processing to complete App Store availability set to “All Countries or Regions” Questions Can missing dSYM files for ffmpeg-kit frameworks cause TestFlight install failures? Are there additional TestFlight availability or processing checks that could cause this error? Is this error related to TestFlight build propagation or caching on Apple’s side? Any guidance on what could cause TestFlight to show the app but fail installation would be appreciated. Thank you.

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Stuck for Over 2 Weeks
Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and placed the $99 order. Shortly after, I received the email saying: “Thank you for your order. Your order request will be processed within 2 business days.” However, it has now been over two weeks and my membership has still not been activated. I also contacted Apple Developer Support about a week ago through the contact form, but unfortunately I have not received any reply so far. When I visit aninterestingwebsite.com, I still see the page prompting me to complete or place the order, even though I already placed it and received the confirmation email. Could someone from Apple please check the status of my enrollment or advise what I should do next? Thank you.

Apple Developer Program Enrollment: pending
Hello everyone, I'm currently waiting for my Apple Developer Program enrollment to be approved and wondering if my timeline is normal. My situation: Payment of $99 USD: ✅ Completed (have invoice and order number) Government-issued photo ID: ✅ Submitted Confirmation email received: ✅ Yes - "Thank you for providing the documents we requested. We will review them and follow up with you within two business days" Days since confirmation email: 3+ business days The email stated they would follow up within two business days, but it's now been more than three business days with no update. My questions: Is it normal for the review to take longer than the stated "two business days"? For those who were approved, did you receive multiple emails throughout the process, or just a final approval email? Has anyone experienced similar delays? What was the outcome? Just want to make sure nothing is stuck or requires additional action from my side. Thanks for any insights!

Long Delay in Apple Developer Program Enrollment Review
My Apple Developer Program Enrollment has been under review for over 6 weeks, and it is inside of the United States. Initially, I was informed that the Apple team would review the application and get back to us in 2 business days. However, I have not received any updates or resolutions since that initial communication. I have reached out to Apple Developer Support many times, and they told me that they cannot provide any updates and advised me to "simply wait." This delay is causing significant disruptions to our development timeline and impacting our business operations. Any idea of what I can do? I would greatly appreciate any insights from the community on how to address this situation effectively. Thank you so much!

Xcode Cloud: Unable to Notarize macOS App (Stuck in Infinite Waiting)
Hi everyone, I’m encountering an issue with Xcode Cloud when trying to notarize my macOS app. As shown in the screenshot, there are no errors in the logs, but the process gets stuck indefinitely. The message says: The post-action could not be completed because the build was canceled. No artifacts are generated at all. This problem started recently. Notarization works perfectly when I submit from my local Xcode, so it seems to be specific to Xcode Cloud. Has anyone else experienced this?

SwiftUI Instruments tool error: "Time Profiler: Time Profiler does not support the iOS platform"
I am trying to run the SwiftUI instruments tool for an iOS app and every time I run it, it either switches from giving me the "Time Profiler: Time Profiler does not support the iOS platform" error, or I end up with no data at all; however, when I run just the Time Profiler by itself it works fine. I am running this on a physical device

Instruments Crash using swiftui instrument
Instruments is crashing when the swiftui instrument is stopped (the session is finished) and the transfer begins from device to device: Crashed Thread: 11 Dispatch queue: com.apple.swiftuitracingsupport.reading Exception Type: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (SIGILL) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 4 Illegal instruction: 4 Terminating Process: exc handler [1633] I've tried removing derived data, reinstalling xcode, updating xcode (I originally thought this might be the issue -- I needed to update to 26.2 from the 26 RC -- the update didn't fix crash or change the crash report), and restarting both devices. I'm running Instruments/Xcode 26.2 on a MacBook Pro 15" (2018) running Mac OS 15.7.2 (24G325) with an iPhone 16 Pro Max running 26.2. Hoping someone else might have seen this or could help me troubleshoot. I find the swiftui instrument be helpful and like to use it :) I can post a complete crash report as well.

Significant change or restart app without location UIBackgroundModes key
Situation: We have an app that only uses location UIBackgroundModes key to restart our app on significant change events as we need it to connect with a BLE device (mounted in the car) when someone starts driving. We cannot use geofence as the car might be used by multiple people so position changes and we don't want to store locations and sent them to multiple users via our servers. So currently we use significant change and just ignore all other location data. During app review we got the following feedback: If the app does not require persistent real-time location updates, please remove the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key. You may wish to use the significant-change location service or the region monitoring location service if persistent real-time location updates are not required for the app features. Question: How to use the significant-change location service without the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key or is there any other way to start the app / connect with the BLE device when it is fully terminated/swiped away? Because the docs state that AuthorizationStatusAuthorizedAlways is required and without the UIBackgroundModes key location that wouldn't be triggered when app is in the background/swiped away.

App stuck in “Ready for Review” for many days – is there currently a delay in App Review?
Hello everyone, I would like to ask if other developers are currently experiencing long delays to approve an app. In my case, my macOS app update (version 1.1) has been stuck in “Ready for Review” for more than 8 days without entering the review phase. Timeline: • Feb 21 – Initial submission • Feb 22 – In Review • Feb 25 – Rejected • Feb 25 – Resubmitted • Mar 2 – In Review • Mar 2 – Rejected • Mar 5 (Wednesday) – Submitted again → Ready for Review • Today – Still Ready for Review, never entered In Review All issues mentioned in the previous rejections were fixed and the build was resubmitted successfully. What also confuses me is that in the App Review section I see a red exclamation mark, even though there are no unresolved messages and the build shows as submitted. I would like to ask: • Are others currently seeing unusually long delays? • Could this indicate a queue issue or system problem? • Has Apple changed something recently in the review pipeline? Normally my previous versions were reviewed and approved in a couple of days, so this delay seems quite unusual. Thanks in advance for any insight from other developers.

Can't create a Live Activity from background
Our app is using the CLLocationManager to wake up the app near an iBeacon and then tries to connect to the accessory via bluetooth and UWB. For this to work in the background we need to create a Live Activity and show the user that the app is doing something. When the app is in the foreground or just recently got into the inactivity mode this works fine and we can use CoreBluetooth/NearbyInteraction even when the app then enters the background mode. But when the app is longer in the background creating a Live Activity via Activity.request() throws an ActivityAuthorizationError.visibility. According to the documentation the LiveActivityIntent is able to workaround this background restriction but I get the same exception when I create the LiveActivity from the perform() method. Is there another API to create Live Activities? Do I need to prepare the LiveActivityIntent somehow?
