I ran into a behavior with PhaseAnimator that I'm not sure is a bug or by design. I'd appreciate any insight. The Problem When an @Observable property is read only inside a PhaseAnimator content closure, changes to that property are ignored after the animation cycle completes and reaches its resting state. The UI gets stuck showing stale data. Minimal Reproduction I've put together a simple demo with two views side by side, both driven by the same ViewModel and toggled by the same button: BrokenView — receives an @Observable object and reads its property inside PhaseAnimator. After the animation completes, toggling the property has no visible effect. FixedView — receives the same value as a Bool parameter. Updates correctly every time because view's parameter has changed. import SwiftUI @Observable class ViewModel { var isError = false } struct BrokenView: View { let viewModel: ViewModel @State private var trigger = false var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("Broken (@Observable)").font(.headline) PhaseAnimator([false, true], trigger: trigger) { _ in if viewModel.isError { Text("Error!").foregroundStyle(.red).font(.largeTitle) } else { Text("OK").foregroundStyle(.green).font(.largeTitle) } } } .padding() .onAppear { trigger = true } } } struct FixedView: View { let isError: Bool @State private var trigger = false var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("Fixed (Value Type)").font(.headline) PhaseAnimator([false, true], trigger: trigger) { _ in if isError { Text("Error!").foregroundStyle(.red).font(.largeTitle) } else { Text("OK").foregroundStyle(.green).font(.largeTitle) } } } .padding() .onAppear { trigger = true } } } struct DemoView: View { @State private var viewModel = ViewModel() var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 40) { BrokenView(viewModel: viewModel) Divider() FixedView(isError: viewModel.isError) Divider() Button("Toggle isError: \(viewModel.isError)") { viewModel.isError.toggle() } .buttonStyle(.borderedProminent) } .padding() } } Run the preview, then tap the toggle button. FixedView updates instantly; BrokenView stays stuck. My Understanding It seems like PhaseAnimator only tracks @Observable access during active animation phases. Once it settles at rest, the content closure is not re-evaluated, so observation tracking is effectively lost. Passing a value type works because SwiftUI view diffing detects the input change and triggers a body re-evaluation, which in turn re-evaluates the PhaseAnimator content. Question Is this intended behavior? Or shouldn't I use phase animator in this way? I could not find any mention of this limitation in the documentation. If it is by design, it might be worth documenting — it is a subtle pitfall that is easy to miss. Thanks in advance for any input!

Hi, I am currently implementing a recurring payment feature using the Apple Pay JS API. Based on the official demo (https://applepaydemo.apple.com/apple-pay-js-api), it appears that the recurringPaymentRequest object only supports a maximum of two stages: trialBilling and regularBilling. However, our service requires a multi-stage billing model with three or more different cycles/amounts as shown below: Example Schedule: Stage 1: 2,000 JPY (2026-03-01 to 2026-04-01) Stage 2: 1,500 JPY (2026-04-01 to 2026-10-01) Stage 3: 1,000 JPY (2026-10-01 to 2027-10-01) Stage 4: 500 JPY (Thereafter) Questions: Is there any way to directly define and display three or more different billing cycles/amounts on the Apple Pay payment sheet? If the API is strictly limited to two stages, what is the Apple-recommended way to provide transparency for such complex schedules while remaining compliant with the guidelines? For instance, is it acceptable to set the final amount in regularBilling and explain the preceding stages in the billingAgreement or paymentDescription fields? I would appreciate any insights or official guidance on this. Best regards,

I'm building an app that sells non-consumable in-app purchases. I want to implement a partner/referral discount system using the following approach: Create multiple IAP products in App Store Connect for the same content at different price points (e.g. full price at €10, 10% off at €9, 20% off at €8) When a user enters a partner or referral code in the app, my backend validates the code and returns which product to present The user then completes the purchase through the standard StoreKit IAP flow — Apple processes the transaction normally at the discounted price No purchase is unlocked without going through Apple IAP. No external payment system is involved. The only difference from a standard purchase is which product SKU is shown based on a backend-validated code. My questions: Is this approach compliant with App Store guidelines? Is there any guideline that requires developers to use Apple's native Offer Codes system instead of this approach for discounted purchases? Any guidance would be appreciated before we invest in building this out.

I would like to renew my Apple Developer membership but I'm faced with this : I've filled the form and hit sent, but I didn't receive either a response or a receipt ; it's been multiple days. Is Apple ever going to respond ?

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and completed the $99 payment on 15 March. However, my developer account is still not activated. When I try to sign in to App Store Connect, it still shows that a Developer Account is required. I also contacted support through the developer contact page but have not received any response. The only email I received was the payment invoice. Has anyone experienced this before? How long does activation usually take, and is there anything else I need to do? Thank you.

Popular automated testing systems like FireBase [1] and WeTest [2] expect the uploaded test to include the Debug-iphoneos directory generated by Xcode. However, in all of our builds on Xcode 26.3, this folder is created but remains empty. There are some other folders with the same name in subdirectories, but these only contain intermediate build files. Now we're looking for configuration or settings in Xcode to restore the original behavior, where the top-level Debug-iphoneos directory gets populated with a complete image of the test target, include the binary and resource files. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! [1] https://firebase.google.com/docs/test-lab/ios/run-xctest [2] https://www.wetest.net/documents/detail/automation/d8yaA7yz

We're seeing some strange behavior of the appAccountToken when passing it to a purchase in the sandbox environment. Normally we'd expect the same account token to be set on the resulting verfication, but that's not the case. Instead the token seems to be persisted on the API side and reused for some amount of time, meaning there's a mismatch and the connection between account and purchase is lost. This happens consistently even if we send new tokens on each purchase. Has there been any updates to purchase flow in the sandbox environment on Apple's side? .purchase( options: [.appAccountToken(token)] )

Subject: Cross-Domain Access Behaviour in WKWebView – Clarification Required Description: We are facing a cross-domain issue in our iOS application where WKWebView loads content from one domain and attempts to access resources/data from another domain. Current Setup: App Platform: iOS WebView: WKWebView iOS Version: 26 Primary Domain: *.franconnectqa.net Data/Analytics Domain: analytics.franconnectdev.net SSL: Valid certificates configured ATS: Enabled Issue: When WKWebView loads content from franconnectqa.net, it attempts to access resources or analytics from analytics.franconnectdev.net, resulting in cross-domain restrictions. We would like to understand: Does WKWebView support cross-domain resource access by default? Are there any configuration settings that allow controlled cross-domain access? Are there known limitations regarding cookies, local storage, or session sharing across domains? Does WKWebView enforce additional restrictions beyond standard browser CORS policies? Are there recommended best practices for handling cross-domain scenarios in WKWebView? Expected Behavior: We want to determine whether: Cross-domain access is supported under certain configurations, OR The recommended approach is to align all resources under the same domain. Kindly provide guidance on the supported architecture and any configuration recommendations.

Could someone from app review team assist with reviewing an update to one of my apps stuck in 'Waiting for review'? Apple ID: 6760196335 Please let me know if you need anything from me. Thanks in advance!

I am working on offline license support for FairPlay. I am trying to identify offline vs. live streaming requests. How do I do that? Is there any way to identify the request type (offline or streaming) from SPC?

I'm a developer from Nigeria trying to complete payment for the Apple Developer Program (organization enrollment). This has been ongoing for over 2 weeks with no resolution. My enrollment is fully approved. D-U-N-S verified. The only issue is the payment. Here's what I've experienced: Multiple payment attempts with two different USD cards (Grey, Chipper Cash) Payments either fail silently (no error shown, order acknowledgement email received, but no charge on card and account not activated) or return "Duplicate Order" error A $0.00 card verification charge went through on one attempt, but the actual $99 was never charged The enrollment page keeps showing "Complete your purchase" every time I log in I submitted a support email request over 3 weeks ago — zero response I have a completed app ready for App Store submission being delayed by this Organization enrollment, D-U-N-S verified, all enrollment steps completed. Only the payment step remains. I've seen many developers in these forums reporting the same issue since February 2026. Is there a known issue with the enrollment payment system? Can an Apple team member please look into my case or clear the duplicate order so I can retry with a fresh transaction? Any help from the community or Apple staff would be greatly appreciated. This is blocking my entire product launch.

Every now and again I end up helping a developer with a Wi-Fi issue. These fall into two groups: User-level Wi-Fi issues Development Wi-Fi issues A user-level Wi-Fi issue is one where the developer hasn’t created any of the products involved. An example of this is when you’re developing an app for an accessory and iOS is having problems connecting to that accessory but you don’t control the accessory’s firmware. In general, I recommend that you escalate such issues to the accessory vendor. They can then run their own investigation and, if necessary, file their own bug report. A development Wi-Fi issue is one that directly affects one of your products. For example, you’re developing a Wi-Fi accessory and iOS is having problems connecting to it. In that case, the onus is on you [1] to investigate why things are failing. If your conclusion is that iOS is behaving incorrectly, file a bug about that. IMPORTANT If you do file a bug in the context of some forums thread, please post your bug number to the thread, just for the record. When filing this sort of bug report it’s important to provide: Solid evidence that the problem is on the Apple side of the fence Enough information for Apple’s engineers to investigate it effectively Let’s start with that second point. If you can reproduce the problem reliably, install the Wi-Fi debug profile on your device, reproduce the problem, noting down a rough timestamp, and include the resulting logs and that timestamp in your bug report. Also, consider attaching a packet trace. There are three options here: Record a packet trace from the perspective of the Apple device. On iOS, use an RVI packet trace for this. Record a packet trace from the perspective of your accessory. Record a Wi-Fi level packet trace. You can do this from your Mac (see Recording a Wi-Fi Packet Trace) but it might be easier to do this with the infrastructure you used during the bring up of your accessory. It’s fine to include all three (-: Also include any relevant context about the issue. For example: If the issue is tied to a specific device model (In that case, it’d be good to include the above information for both the successful and failing cases.) If the problem shows up when joining from Settings > Wi-Fi, or whether it’s tied to a specific API, like NEHotspotConfigurationManager Finally, make sure to include an explanation of why you think this is an Apple bug, referencing specific items in the logs and packet traces that you attached. Of course, it’s only possible to do all of this if you can reproduce the problem. Investigating an intermittent issue based on reports coming in from users is much harder. It’s OK to file a bug about such issues, but your bug might not be actionable. At a minimum you should aim to include a sysdiagnose log with your bug. IMPORTANT This log has to be taken shortly after reproducing the problem. Don’t just attach any old log. One option is to request such a log from your users. I talk more about this in Using a Sysdiagnose Log to Debug a Hard-to-Reproduce Problem. You can also ask your users to file their own bugs using the Feedback Assistant app. It should automatically capture and attach a sysdiagnose log. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com" [1] Well, your organisation. It’s rare to find a team where the same engineer works on both the iOS app and the accessory firmware. But if that’s you, good job!

Followed Apple's instructions and signed up via the iOS developer app. Received confirmation email of purchase. However I can 't complete enrolment because the developer account and the apple account haven't synced, so the developer account is trying to get me to "finish payment". Anyone else have this issue?

Hello, I am reaching out here because I have two iOS apps that have been stuck in "Waiting for Review" status with no communication from the App Review team. App 1: OKIRIZO (Apple ID: 6757417197) First submitted: January 10, 2026 Current submission: February 25, 2026 Status: Waiting for Review (19+ days on current submission, over 2 months since first submission) Multiple resubmissions due to the prolonged wait App 2: TidaKitchen (Apple ID: 6759185372) Current submission: approximately March 11, 2026 Status: Waiting for Review Both are version 1.0 initial submissions for the iOS App Store. There are no messages, no rejection notices, and no feedback in App Store Connect. I have also submitted expedited review requests but have received no response. I understand that review times can vary, but waiting over two months with zero communication is significantly impacting our business. These apps serve local businesses in Okinawa, Japan, and the delays are causing real operational problems for our clients. I have seen many similar reports from other developers in February-March 2026 on these forums. If anyone from the App Review team could investigate, or if fellow developers have found a resolution, I would greatly appreciate any guidance. Thank you for your time.

There is a long-standing, structural issue with the iPadOS Korean IME when using a hardware keyboard. The IME forcibly intercepts the " (quote) keydown event and injects Unicode smart/curved quotes (“ or ”) directly into the text field. This hardcoded behavior ignores both: User Settings: The global "Smart Punctuation" toggle in [Settings > General > Keyboard] is completely ignored. Developer APIs: Setting UITextInputTraits.smartQuotesType = .no on a UITextView or UITextField has absolutely no effect when the Korean keyboard is active. Steps to Reproduce: Set smartQuotesType = .no on a standard UITextView. Connect a hardware keyboard. Switch input language to English -> Press the quote key. (Result: ASCII straight quote " - Correct behavior) Switch input language to Korean -> Press the quote key. (Result: Unicode curved quote “ - Incorrect behavior) Impact on Developers & Users: Because the OS IME forcefully injects the curved Unicode character before the app can process the raw key event, developers building code editors, markdown editors, or specific word processors (like Google Docs) cannot prevent this behavior. We cannot provide a standard text-editing experience for Korean users without forcing them to manually toggle their keyboard language to English just to type a straight quote. Expected Behavior: The Korean hardware keyboard IME must respect UITextInputTraits.smartQuotesType and the global OS toggle. Please provide a mechanism for developers and users to bypass this forced CJK typography rule.

I want to provide free test accounts so that mobile games reviewers can play my iOS game for free. They should be able to make in-app purchases(consumables) without any charges. I don´t know how to create the free test accounts. Is it necessary that my iOS game is already published in the Apple App Store before I can provide test accounts for mobile games reviewers? Or is it necessary to let the reviewers play my game while it is still in TestFlight? If yes, should I ask them to give me there email address so that I can add it to my Sandbox accounts? My game was not yet released in the App Apple Store. It´s only available on TestFlight.

My membership expired, I renewed it and paid in full a week ago, it's still saying " Your Apple Developer Program membership has expired." Does it take that long? or should I assume there an issue with my renewal?

hi, the email i used to create my apple store is no longer accessible by me... I need to change it, but have no way of contacting since when I click "contact for an issue" it defautls to that email that I can't see
