Overview

for some reason my account says its not available for registration at this time? anyone knows whats the reason for this? I contacted apple call center they say there's nothing they can do. My account is just locked. What are my options?

Hello all! I'm trying to submit a new app but App Store Connect keeps throwing an error saying "add compliance information for Directive on Administrative Cooperation–7th Amendment (DAC7)". The thing is that this compliance IS submitted and in active status for days now. I keep on re-submit it, but still getting this error.

We have a Mac app the allows customers to create a user account in our system. However, we have found that on the 'create account' screen, the system's password autofill is popping up for the "New Password" field. We don't want this, because they need to enter a new password, not pull one from the Passwords app. I built a test project with a basic UI and explicitly set the content type to None in the XIB. However, I can see when I put focus on the "New Password" NSSecureTextField, the system shows the passwords autofill popup. How can I explicitly suppress this on a per text field basis? (We are developing on macOS 26.3 right now with Xcode 26.3)

Hi guys does anybody know why the processing of our enrollment program is taking a very long time?!

Hello, I am the Account Holder for VectorForge LLC (Team ID: WCFQ8X3RVH). I have been blocked from notarizing any macOS application since at least March 2026. Every submission is rejected with statusCode 7000: { "jobId": "896ce43a-f77c-4b4e-87d2-5260035a37fe", "status": "Rejected", "statusSummary": "Team is not yet configured for notarization.", "statusCode": 7000, "archiveFilename": "?.zip", "uploadDate": "2026-03-22T18:38:40.189Z" } Support history (all unresolved): • Case 102838799002 — contacts on Mar 7, Mar 23, Mar 26, Apr 2, 2026 • Case 102851046683 — contacts on Mar 23, Mar 25, 2026 • Case 102859151238 — opened Apr 2, 2026 (Membership and Account) Each time I have been told the case is being escalated or forwarded to another team, with no follow-up or resolution. Most critically: I am now unable to submit any new support ticket through the Apple Developer portal at all. Every attempt returns "There was a problem processing your request." I have no notarization access and no support access. I am asking: Is there a formal appeal process for accounts in this state? What can a developer do when both notarization and the support portal are inaccessible? Team ID: WCFQ8X3RVH Legal Entity: VectorForge LLC Primary case: 102838799002

Hello everyone I paid for an Apple Developer subscription, but after a week, about 7-8 days, I still haven't got access to the developer's funds, the subscription is active, the money has been debited, please help me access and activate the developer account, I haven't been answered for several days, I'm very upset. I just don't know what to do, they don't respond to my requests, the phone number is not listed anywhere, I can't call. The Apple Developer subscription is displayed in the App Store subscriptions, the money is debited, the account is inactive, and my Apple Developer account is empty. This is my first and very sad experience. Request number: 102847825967 Order ID MM63GT8S8N Document number 670111691457

I submitting the verification forms on March 23, 2026 but no response and no access has been granted. I called support and they said to post on here. Email said it takes 2 business days. any recommendations on how to get access?

Device: iPhone 13 OS Version: iOS 26.4, iOS 26.5 Summary: The Settings app crashes when accessing the Sandbox account management screen in Developer Settings while the device is offline. Steps to Reproduce: Enable Developer Mode on the device Disconnect from the internet (Wi-Fi and cellular off) Go to Settings → Developer Ensure a Sandbox account is signed in Tap on "Sandbox" Tap on "Manage" Expected Result: The system should either: Open the Sandbox management screen, or Show an error indicating no internet connection Actual Result: The Settings app crashes immediately after tapping "Manage". Reproducibility: Always (100%) when offline Additional Notes: Issue observed on iOS 26.4 and iOS 26.5 Does not occur on iOS 18 May also be present in other iOS 26.x versions Does not occur when the device has an active internet connection

My app targets iOS 12.0 and crashes immediately on launch when installed via TestFlight on an iPad running iOS 12.x. The same archive works perfectly when installed via Ad Hoc distribution or directly from Xcode. This is a regression — the exact same source code, compiled with the same Xcode version, was successfully distributed via TestFlight and the App Store last month (March 2026) without issues. No changes were made to the code, Xcode version, or signing configuration. Steps to reproduce: Archive an app with IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 12.0 using Xcode 16.4 Upload to App Store Connect Install via TestFlight on an iPad running iOS 12.x App crashes immediately on launch (pre-main, no crash log generated) Expected: App launches normally (as it did last month) Actual: App is killed immediately, process exits with reason: (none) Console.app shows the process never transitions from xpcproxy to the actual binary — it dies within ~260ms of bootstrap, indicating a dyld or app thinning issue. Environment: Xcode: 16.4 Deployment target: iOS 12.0 ENABLE_BITCODE: NO Device: iOS 12.x Ad Hoc install: WORKS Xcode direct install: WORKS TestFlight install: CRASHES App Store install: CRASHES Anyone else seeing this?

Hello, I am blocked on the first auto-renewable subscription submission for my iOS app and I would like to know if anyone has seen this exact App Store Connect behavior. App: SEKA Money Subscription product ID: seka_premium_yearly_ Subscription Apple ID: 6760082026 Current issue: the auto-renewable subscription exists in App Store Connect I am on the correct iOS app version page the “In-App Purchases and Subscriptions” section is visible but my auto-renewable subscription does not appear in the selector only a consumable IAP appears there Important detail: the issue happens directly inside App Store Connect on the app version page this is why I do not think the missing subscription in that selector is caused by the runtime StoreKit code in the app itself I understand app code can affect UI price display, but it should not control whether a subscription appears in the App Store Connect submission selector Other details: this is my first subscription the subscription has already gone through “Waiting for Review” and is now “Developer Action Needed” metadata, screenshot, and localizations have been filled Apple Support already confirmed that I do not need a consumable for this case sandbox / TestFlight purchase behavior has been partially reproducible, but the submission workflow remains blocked because the subscription is not selectable on the app version page My question: Has anyone seen a case where the first auto-renewable subscription exists but does not appear in the app version selector, while another IAP type does appear? If yes, what was the real cause and how did you resolve it? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I’m running into a situation in App Store Connect that appears to be a backend lock related to an approved version, and I’m looking for confirmation or similar experiences. Context: App had version 1.2.6 Version progressed to Pending Developer Release Before releasing to users, I chose Developer Reject I then edited the version number (to 1.2.7) Current State / Issue: After this, App Store Connect is effectively blocked: ❌ Cannot associate any builds to the version ❌ Uploading a build with the same version and higher build number does not help ❌ Cannot create a fresh version (no “+ Version” button is visible) ❌ App Store Connect API returns: ENTITY_ERROR.RELATIONSHIP.INVALID ❌ Remove Version / Delete Version is not available Even attempting brand‑new version numbers does not work. It looks like App Store Connect still considers the previously approved Pending Developer Release version to be active and locked internally. What I understand so far From my understanding: Once a version reaches Pending Developer Release, the appStoreVersion record becomes finalized Editing the version number does not truly create a new version Developer rejection does not unlock the version–build relationship Only one approved / pending version is allowed per app This seems to leave the app in a state where no new versions can be created without backend intervention. Question Can anyone confirm: That once a version reaches Pending Developer Release, it can only be reset or removed by App Store Connect Support, and That there is no self‑service workaround (UI, API, CI, or Transporter) to recover from this state? If anyone has gone through this and successfully had Apple reset the appStoreVersion record, I’d appreciate confirmation or tips on getting it routed correctly. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I'm building an app in Xcode 16.4 with a minimum deployment target of iOS 12. The last time I built with this configuration was November 2025 — that build worked perfectly fine. I'm aware that builds from Xcode 16.4 will no longer be accepted by Apple after April 28, 2026, so I decided to push one final update before that deadline. Here's what I did: Built the app with no changes to build settings Uploaded to TestFlight Tested on iOS 12, iOS 26, and a few other versions — everything looked good Passed App Review Published to the App Store Now users on iOS 12 are reporting that the app crashes immediately on launch. Users on iOS 13-26 are unaffected. We've effectively lost a significant portion of our users overnight. We'd really like to restore functionality for them before April 28 — after that we plan to raise the minimum deployment target anyway. There are no crash logs available, as the app appears to never reach application code at all. Below are the relevant logs from Console.app: default 16:33:49.012231+0400 SpringBoard Bootstrapping MY_BUNDLE_ID with intent foreground-interactive error 16:33:49.021533+0400 SpringBoard [MY_BUNDLE_ID] Bootstrap failed with error: <NSError: 0x280f59aa0; domain: BKSProcessErrorDomain; code: 1 (bootstrap-failed); reason: "Failed to start job"> error 16:33:49.021748+0400 SpringBoard Bootstrapping failed for <FBApplicationProcess: 0x101cb4070; MY_BUNDLE_ID; pid: -1> with error: Error Domain=BKSProcessErrorDomain Code=1 "Unable to bootstrap process with bundleID MY_BUNDLE_ID" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Unable to bootstrap process with bundleID MY_BUNDLE_ID, BKSProcessExitReason=0, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Failed to start job, NSUnderlyingError=0x280f58780 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=3 "No such process" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=The process failed to exec, NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Consult /var/log/com.apple.xpc.launchd/launchd.log for more information, NSLocalizedDescription=Unable to get valid task name port right for pid 241}}, BSErrorCodeDescription=bootstrap-failed} default 16:33:49.021934+0400 SpringBoard Adding: <FBApplicationProcess: 0x101cb4070; MY_BUNDLE_ID; pid: -1> default 16:33:49.022111+0400 SpringBoard <FBApplicationProcess: 0x101cb4070; MY_BUNDLE_ID; pid: -1> exited. default 16:33:49.023325+0400 SpringBoard Removing: <FBApplicationProcess: 0x101cb4070; MY_BUNDLE_ID; pid: -1> default 16:33:49.039576+0400 assertiond Submitting new job for "MY_BUNDLE_ID" on behalf of <BKProcess: 0x100d119f0; SpringBoard; com.apple.springboard; pid: 48; agency: SystemShell; visibility: foreground; task: running> default 16:33:49.039982+0400 assertiond Submitted job with label: UIKitApplication:MY_BUNDLE_ID[0xed03][58] error 16:33:49.040128+0400 assertiond Unable to obtain a task name port right for pid 241: (os/kern) failure (0x5) error 16:33:49.040286+0400 assertiond Failed to start job with error <NSError: 0x100c3f180; domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain; code: 3; reason: "The process failed to exec"> { description = "Unable to get valid task name port right for pid 241"; failureReason = "The process failed to exec"; recoverySuggestion = "Consult /var/log/com.apple.xpc.launchd/launchd.log for more information"; Has anyone encountered this recently? Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I tried rebuilding from scratch without any code changes and uploading a fresh build to TestFlight — but now it won't even launch from TestFlight on iOS 12.

Hello, I am trying to submit my first app as an Indi developer to the apple App Store for the first time, my submission was rejected because of missing metadata for IAP subscription which has now been resolved. I would like my app to be reviewed again, but when I try to do that it gives me an error of "Unable to Add for Review The items below are required to start the review process: To submit new apps or avoid potential payment blocks, add compliance information for Model Reporting Rules for Digital Platforms (MRDP). Learn More" I check in Business -> Compliance and MRDP is already showing as active. Please can anyone help?

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.

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..
