hi, i've enrolled, received confirmation emails - but my account is still in pending status - how do i track or know how long it will take for this process?

Hello, We have a security solution which intercepts network traffic for inspection using a combination of Transparent Proxy Provider and Content filter. Lately we are seeing reports from the market that on M5 Macbooks and A18 Neos the system will kernel panic using our solution, even though it never happens on M1-M4 and no significant code changes were made in the mean time. All crashes seem to be related to an internal double free in the kernel: panic(cpu 0 caller 0xfffffe003bb68224): skmem_slab_free_locked: attempt to free invalid or already-freed obj 0xf2fffe29e15f2400 on skm 0xf6fffe2518aaa200 @skmem_slab.c:646 Debugger message: panic Memory ID: 0xff OS release type: User OS version: 25D2128 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 25.3.0: Wed Jan 28 20:54:38 PST 2026; root:xnu-12377.91.3~2/RELEASE_ARM64_T6050 Additionally, from further log inspection, before panics we find some weird kernel messages which seem to be related to some DMA operations gone wrong in the network driver on some machines: 2026-03-30 14:11:21.779124+0300 0x30f2 Default 0x0 873 0 Arc: (Network) [com.apple.network:connection] [C9.1.1.1 IPv4#e5b4bb04:443 in_progress socket-flow (satisfied (Path is satisfied), interface: en0[802.11], ipv4, ipv6, dns, uses wifi, flow divert agg: 1, LQM: good)] event: flow:start_connect @0.075s 2026-03-30 14:11:21.780015+0300 0x1894 Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (402262746): No more valid control units, disabling flow divert 2026-03-30 14:11:21.780017+0300 0x1894 Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (402262746): Skipped all flow divert services, disabling flow divert 2026-03-30 14:11:21.780102+0300 0x1894 Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: SK[2]: flow_entry_alloc fe "0 proc kernel_task(0)Arc nx_port 1 flow_uuid D46E230E-B826-4E0A-8C59-4C4C8BF6AA60 flags 0x14120<CONNECTED,QOS_MARKING,EXT_PORT,EXT_FLOWID> ipver=4,src=<IPv4-redacted>.49703,dst=<IPv4-redacted>.443,proto=0x06 mask=0x0000003f,hash=0x04e0a750 tp_proto=0x06" 2026-03-30 14:11:21.780194+0300 0x1894 Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: tcp connect outgoing: [<IPv4-redacted>:49703<-><IPv4-redacted>:443] interface: en0 (skipped: 0) so_gencnt: 14634 t_state: SYN_SENT process: Arc:873 SYN in/out: 0/1 bytes in/out: 0/0 pkts in/out: 0/0 rtt: 0.0 ms rttvar: 250.0 ms base_rtt: 0 ms error: 0 so_error: 0 svc/tc: 0 flow: 0x9878386f 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934431+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: Hit error condition (not panicking as we're in error handler): t8110dart <private> (dart-apcie0): invalid SID 2 TTBR access: level 1 table_index 0 page_offset 0x2 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934432+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: [ 73.511690]: arm_cpu_init(): cpu 6 online 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934441+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: [ 73.511696]: arm_cpu_init(): cpu 9 online 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934441+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: [ 73.569033]: arm_cpu_init(): cpu 6 online 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934441+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: [ 73.569038]: arm_cpu_init(): cpu 9 online 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934442+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: [ 73.577453]: arm_cpu_init(): cpu 7 online 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934442+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: [ 73.586328]: arm_cpu_init(): cpu 5 online 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934442+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: [ 73.586332]: arm_cpu_init(): cpu 8 online 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934442+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: [ 73.621392]: (dart-apcie0) AppleT8110DART::_fatalException: dart-apcie0 (<ptr>): DART DART SID exception ERROR_SID_SUMMARY 0x00003000 ERROR_ADDRESS 0x0000000000009800 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934443+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: [ 73.621397]: Hit error condition (not panicking as we're in error handler): 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934443+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: t8110dart <ptr> (dart-apcie0): invalid SID 2 TTBR access: level 1 table_index 0 page_offset 0x2Expect a `deadbeef` in the error messages below 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934452+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: Expect a `deadbeef` in the error messages below 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934456+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (AppleEmbeddedPCIE) apcie[0:centauri-control]::_dartErrorHandler() InvalidPTE caused by read from address 0x9800 by SID 2 (RID 2:0:1/useCount 1/device <private>) 2026-03-30 14:11:21.934469+0300 0xed Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (AppleT8110DART) Ignored dart-apcie0 (0xfbfffe18820b0000): DART(DART) error: SID 2 PTE invalid exception on read of DVA 0x9800 (SEG 0 PTE 0x2) ERROR_SID_SUMMARY 0x00003000 TIME 0x11242d43fd TTE 0xffffffffffffffff AXI_ID 0 We do not have any correlation between machines, usage pattern or installed applications. Uninstalling the network protection features seem to largely fix the issues, even though we have heard of crashes happening even in safe mode or with our network extension disabled from system settings. We weren't able to reproduce internally and it seems to happen completely random on client machines, but often enough to be disrupting. Can you tell us please if this is a known problem and if there's a workaround or what can we do to narrow it down? Thanks.

Hello, app name: raw films app id: 6761117809 I need some help or guidance. I submitted my app on 25 of March and it got rejected due to guideline 2.1b, the reviewer couldn’t locate the button to unlock the premium filters with in-app purchase. I provided them screenshots and exact steps to locate the filters on 26 of March, and no response since then. I resubmitted the app on 30th of March, but still no response in App Store Connect messages, I requested help from support via email, but again no response. :( Can anyone help me with an advice? Thank you..

I cannot find anywhere in the documentation how to invalidate an FSItem. It seems to be cached indefinitely or am I missing something?

I've been stuck on Guideline 2.3 for two weeks now and I'm running out of ideas. My app is iPhone-only (UIDeviceFamily = [1]) and has been on the App Store since January. Version 2.1.9 passed review fine. The only change in 2.1.10 is adding two DeviceActivity extensions — a DeviceActivityMonitor and a DeviceActivityReport — for screen time-based stress detection. Every build since then gets rejected with the same message: "The UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key in the Info.plist is set up in such a way that the app will not install on the device used in review." Review devices: iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPad Air M3. Here's what I've tried across 13+ submissions: UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities as ["arm64"] (array) — rejected Empty array [] — rejected Removed the key entirely — upload validation fails, Xcode re-injects arm64 anyway Post-build script to force ["arm64"] — rejected Dictionary format {"arm64": true} — rejected Added com.apple.developer.family-controls to extension entitlements — rejected Enabled Family Controls (Distribution) on extension bundle IDs — rejected Fixed CFBundleVersion mismatch between host app and extensions — rejected Set TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY=1 on all targets including extensions — rejected Tried GENERATE_INFOPLIST_FILE=YES with minimal plists — rejected Tried ExtensionKit type for the report extension — rejected In the exported IPA, every target has UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities = ["arm64"] and UIDeviceFamily = [1]. The entitlements, provisioning profiles, and code signing all look correct. arm64 is supported on every review device they listed. The previous version (2.1.9) without DeviceActivity extensions passes review with the exact same UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities and signing configuration. Has anyone shipped an app with DeviceActivityMonitor + DeviceActivityReport extensions successfully? Is there something specific about these extension types that affects device capability validation? Or is there a known issue with the review system and FamilyControls extensions? I've replied to the review team multiple times asking which specific capability is causing the failure, but the response is always the same generic template. Any guidance would be really appreciated — I'm completely blocked on shipping this update.

Hello. I have a question regarding the standard iPadOS Books app. When I try to open a PDF in the standard iPadOS Books app using the sharing function from another app that works offline, the Books app displays the message, "Your iPad is offline. Books could not connect to the Bookstore. Please check your internet connection and try again," and I am unable to open the PDF. Can this problem be resolved by modifying the other app that works offline? Or is this a problem with the Books app itself?

Hello, I have been waiting for a response for 7 days now, I have resubmitted my app (photo editing app) for review. First my app was declined due to guideline 2.1(b), stating that they cannot find a filter with a lock button to test the in app-purchase. I have sent a screenshot for the reviewers and exact steps how to find those filters, this was last Thursday and still haven't received a response. I also sent a support request on Monday (30th of March), but still no response. Can you please help me with an advice? Thank you in advance.

About a year ago, I developed and released an app on the App Store (I believe it was running on the Sequoia SDK at the time), and everything was working fine. I’m now revisiting the project using the newer Tahoe SDK, and I’m running into an issue with DiffableDataSource. Specifically, the app hangs and CPU usage spikes to 100% when applying snapshots. Has anyone experienced similar issues after upgrading to newer SDKs? Are there any recent changes or pitfalls with DiffableDataSource (e.g., threading, Hashable requirements, or snapshot handling) that I should be aware of? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. extension Section { enum Identifier: Int, CaseIterable { case main } enum Item: Hashable { case file(FileViewData) } } struct FileViewData: Equatable, Hashable, Identifiable { let id: String let name: String var accessoryViewData: KTFDownloadAccessoryViewData init( id: String, name: String, accessoryViewData: KTFDownloadAccessoryViewData = .nothing ) { self.id = id self.name = name self.accessoryViewData = accessoryViewData } } public enum KTFDownloadAccessoryViewData: Equatable, Hashable { case nothing case selected(SelectedState) case completed public enum SelectedState: Equatable, Hashable { case nothing case waiting case downloading(Double) } } When I changed FileViewData as below, no hangs but item appearance doesn't change of course. struct FileViewData: Equatable, Hashable, Identifiable { let id: String let name: String var accessoryViewData: KTFDownloadAccessoryViewData init( id: String, name: String, accessoryViewData: KTFDownloadAccessoryViewData = .nothing ) { self.id = id self.name = name self.accessoryViewData = accessoryViewData } func hash(into hasher: inout Hasher) { hasher.combine(id) } static func == (lhs: FileViewData, rhs: FileViewData) -> Bool { return lhs.id == rhs.id } }

These days I've observed a strange behavior in my document-based app on macOS: Its NSDocument class implementation is overwriting "saveToURL:ofType:forSaveOperation:completionHandler:", performing some additional checks and calling super by passing the original parameters. As my app is supporting various file formats for writing (and exporting those UTIs) the user can open a file in one format and save it to another. NSDocument is calling the mentioned methods implicitly after completing the "Save as..." dialog. If this happens, the passed-on fileType is still the one of format #1, although the file is saved with the file name extension of format #2. This hick-up is not directly obvious to the user. But if the file is re-saved (e.g. after modifications), Cocoa is trying to extend the sandbox for the URL of type #1, and fails with the following error message at the Xcode console: -[STBDocument saveToURL:ofType:forSaveOperation:completionHandler:] [Line 521] typeName: com.janome.jef -[STBDocument saveToURL:ofType:forSaveOperation:completionHandler:] [Line 523] targetTypeUTI: com.tajima.dst NSFileSandboxingRequestRelatedItemExtension: Failed to issue extension for /Users/matthias/Desktop/Ohne Titel.jef because: Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=3 "No such process" -[NSFileCoordinator itemAtURL:willMoveToURL:] could not get a sandbox extension. oldURL: file:///Users/matthias/Desktop/Ohne%20Titel.dst, newURL: file:///Users/matthias/Desktop/Ohne%20Titel.jef I'm currently fixing this issue by determining the UTType for the new file name extension and passing it to super. Unfortunately I have no idea how long this issue was already present, and cannot replicate it with a sample app based on Apple's Xcode 26 template (too many differences to my >15 years old app) - so I won't file a bug report. Take this post just for information in case someone else is facing a similar situation...

Hello everyone, Since roughly 12 hours i can no longer submit updated to my Apps, i always get a "Unable to Add for Review" with "To submit new apps or avoid potential payment blocks, add compliance information for Directive on Administrative Cooperation–7th Amendment (DAC7).". I of course already a few weeks ago went to the Business sections and selected "No" as it does not apply to us. I tried a lot but cannot make submissions work. I also contacted the Apple support but got no Feedback yet, does anyone have the same issue? What i tried: Switching DAC7 from No to Yes and then back to No again Private Browsing (Cache reset) Checked all other Agreementes, all is fine and "active" I fail to see any issue and assume it is an Apple central issue as they 1st of April rolled out the new DAC7 compliance check. With many greetings Robert

We are currently experiencing an unexpected issue with the DeviceCheck query_two_bits endpoint. According to the official documentation (Accessing and Modifying Per-Device Data), the last_update_time field should represent the month and year when the bits were last modified. The Issue: For several specific device tokens, our server is receiving a last_update_time value that is set in the future. Current Date: April 2026 Returned last_update_time: 2026-12 (December 2026) Here is a response: { "body": "{\"bit0\":false,\"bit1\":true,\"last_update_time\":\"2026-12\"}", "headers": { "Server": ["Apple"], "Date": ["Thu, 02 Apr 2026 06:05:23 GMT"], "Content-Type": ["application/json; charset=UTF-8"], "Transfer-Encoding": ["chunked"], "Connection": ["keep-alive"], "X-Apple-Request-UUID": ["53e16c38-d9f7-4d58-a354-ce07a4eaa35b"], "X-Responding-Instance": ["af-bit-store-56b5b6b478-k8hnh"], "Strict-Transport-Security": ["max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains"], "X-Frame-Options": ["SAMEORIGIN"], "X-Content-Type-Options": ["nosniff"], "X-XSS-Protection": ["1; mode=block"] }, "statusCode": "OK", "statusCodeValue": 200 } Technical Details: Endpoint: https://api.development.devicecheck.apple.com/v1/query_two_bits (also occurring in Production) Response Body Example: JSON { "bit0": true, "bit1": false, "last_update_time": "2026-12" } Observations: This occurs even when our server has not sent an update_two_bits request for that specific device in the current month. Questions: Is there a known issue with the timestamp synchronization or regional database propagation for DeviceCheck? Does the last_update_time field ever represent an expiration date or any value other than the "last modified" month? Best regards,

Hi everyone, I enrolled in the Developer Program 6 days ago and I'm still unable to access my account. I'm hoping someone here can help or that this gets the attention of Apple staff. Here's my situation: I enrolled on Saturday and completed the process on the website The fee has been successfully charged to my bank account I received both a purchase acknowledgement and an invoice from Apple Despite all of this, the Apple Developer website still shows "Complete your purchase" as if nothing happened I already opened a support case, but have not received any response whatsoever No activation, no update, and no communication from Apple I have proof of payment (bank statement, order confirmation, and invoice), so this does not appear to be a payment issue on my end. Has anyone experienced this and managed to get it resolved? Thanks guys.

I registered for the program and received an email deducting the money. I waited two days but haven't received any response. It shows "pending" and still isn't finished. Please help me. I've messaged support but haven't received a reply.

Hi everyone, I'm integrating Apple's DeviceCheck API into my app and have run into a strange issue that I can't find documented anywhere. The Problem When I call Apple's DeviceCheck query endpoint (POST https://api.devicecheck.apple.com/v1/query_two_bits), the response occasionally returns a last_update_time value that is in the future — ahead of the current server time. Example response: { "bit0": true, "bit1": false, "last_update_time": "2026-05" // future month, not yet reached } What I've Checked My server's system clock is correctly synced via NTP The JWT token I generate uses the current timestamp for the iat field This doesn't happen on every device — only on some specific devices The issue is reproducible on the same device across multiple calls Questions Is last_update_time sourced from the device's local clock at the time update_two_bits was called? Or is it stamped server-side by Apple? Could a device with an incorrectly set system clock (set to the future) cause Apple's servers to record a future last_update_time? Is there a recommended way to validate or sanitize last_update_time on the server side to handle this edge case? Has anyone else encountered this behavior? Any known workarounds? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When taking a photo with UIImagePickerController, the text in "Use Photo" shifts. What could be the reason for this?

Hello, I am currently developing a headless macOS daemon (HarmonBridge) that requires extremely low-latency, high-bandwidth UDP video streaming between a Mac and a Linux host over a dedicated 2.5GbE/5GbE local network link. We are utilizing widely available Realtek RTL8156 / RTL8156B based USB 2.5G network adapters. Under macOS, these adapters default to the generic com.apple.DriverKit.AppleUserECM driver. The hardware itself natively supports Jumbo Frames (MTU 9000), but the DriverKit implementation artificially restricts the MTU cap to 1500 bytes. Because we are forced through MTU 1500, we are incurring significant performance penalties: Excessive IP fragmentation for our large UDP video payloads. Unnecessary CPU overhead due to increased hardware interrupts and header processing at 2.5Gbps speeds. For a latency-critical application like ours, reducing CPU interrupts and utilizing true hardware-level Jumbo Frames is essential. My Questions: Is there an undocumented boot-arg or network sysctl parameter that permits overriding the AppleUserECM 1500 MTU hard-limit for 2.5G USB adapters on Apple Silicon? Are there any roadmap plans from the DriverKit/Networking team to re-enable standard Jumbo Frame negotiation for RTL8156 hardware using the generic ECM driver? If the answer to both is no, does Apple grant NetworkingDriverKit Entitlements to independent developers specifically for the purpose of writing custom hardware overrides to patch missing MTU features in the default ECM stack? Because AppleUserECM effectively acts as a gatekeeper to the underlying MAC/PHY capabilities of these modern USB NICs, any guidance on achieving wire-native MTU 9000 under the current DriverKit paradigm would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!

我是iPhone14PRO机型，自从更新到IOS26以后，发现越更新越差劲，各种掉帧，卡顿，一使用就发热，电池续航能力相比于18.7.2直接少了三分之一，更别说跟IOS16系列相比，IOS26的每个版本都是，越来越差，连最基本的NFC都弄没了，还不让回退IOS18的系统，如果再这么烂下去，建议把参与系统制作的印度人全开除了，实在不会优化系统，建议把古老的IOS6.1.3的封包拿出来重新适配一下各种机型再放出更新，免得像现在一样，越更新越差劲！
