There was an error processing your request. Please try again later
Hello everyone, on August 31st, all the apps in my personal developer account were suddenly expired and deleted, I have not received any response from Apple. My apps are in compliance with Apple's policies. I then uploaded a new version and sent it to the review team, but I received the following error "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." I have contacted Apple via Email and Phone but no one cares about my problem. Has anyone had the same situation as me, I am really worried.

I've been fooling around with this and I lose "stuff"
I have an idea for an app for awhile (5+ years) and it took awhile (a year or more to figure out how to develop on - I know C/C++/FORTRAN, started in the punch card era). I ended up using the MacBook I had, some books and chatGPT and plunged into development. BTW this was all happening while I'm retired, included moving to FL from MD. There are times where development stops for months at a time, I've started and stopped at least four or five times on different portions of the project. I've realized that I can actually skip the user interface until the end if ever. At the beginning of code development, I did little more that "Hello world" programs to get my feet wet. Golf, pickleball, doctor appointments, etc. interrupts development. When I get back to it, my code has "disappeared", I open Xcode, open the project and I don't see any of my code - where did it go? I did find the code using the Finder in Directory/projname/projname/ContentView.swift (I'm not sure why projname is duplicated, no doubt my ignorance!) - so the code is still present, somewhere!

Help needed identifying commands for remote access
Hey everyone, I’m new to here and have very basic Knowledge so was hoping one of you geniuses could help me. I have had my devices hacked into remotely and monitored remotely for a number of weeks now. I have done all the security measures including erasing, new phone, sim, Vpns etc and still have the issue of my phone network being accessed. I believe code has been added to my phone or apps but I just don’t know what it looks like. I was hoping someone could take a look at some code for me and help me work it out as it has been driving me nuts. im not sure if I can post this on here so apologies if I offend anyone by doing so but I would be ever so grateful of some help. Thank you. Paul

Clearing an app’s memory, data etc.
My app works perfectly the first time it is used but when returning to the start after playing the game and playing another it does some random things. I figure it is because the app still retains the previous game in it’s memory allocation? My question is, what is the best way programmatically to have an app start fresh and not have to quit it and open it again?

The push notification icon is still displaying the old version
Hello guys, We have updated our app icon, and it is correctly reflected in our app build and assets. However, the push notification icon is still displaying the old version for some users. ✅ We have verified that: All icon assets in Assets.xcassets match the new icon. The app icon has been updated in Info.plist. The app has been resubmitted and approved on the App Store. ❌ However, some users still see the old notification icon, even after reinstalling the app. Restarting the device does not always resolve the issue. Could you provide insights into how iOS caches notification icons and how we can force a refresh for all users?

MacOS 26.4 beta “Failed to prepare software update”
I have received this installation error attempting to upgrade from MacOS 26.4 beta 2 to beta 3 on my Intel 2020 27” iMac, and now trying to install beta 4 from beta 3 on my M1 Max MBP. I have seen from a sprinkling of post that some others have had the same issue. I was able to successfully perform the 2 to 3 upgrade on the iMac in safe boot, suggesting possible compatible, third-party app. But that did not work for beta 4 on either device. I have submitted feedback for each episode. Any others have this issue? Unusual for Apple, I have never had any issues installing beta software before.

AR WorldMap Relocalization for Identical houses.
i have a specific requirement as below. i have apartments in which i have 4 units and each unit will be of same layout. furniture etc.. might change but not walls and layout as far as i know. Step1: Now i will enter into one unit, scan the entire unit and save it using RoomPlan Api and at the end of the scan i will be saving the worldmap as well. Step2: i want to use the previously saved worldmap and enter into another unit and want to relocalize with only walls because the furniture might be different. is that possible. if not is there any otherway to achieve this functionality? i really appreciate you valuable time. Thankyou.

Apple Developer Enrollment Pending Since Jan 31 – No Response from Support
I applied for the Apple Developer Program on January 31, 2026, and as of today (February 5, 2026), my enrollment is still showing as Pending. The payment was completed successfully at the time of application. Since then: I have not received any requests for additional documents or verification. I have contacted Apple Developer Support twice, but have not received any response so far. I understand processing times can vary, but the lack of response from support is concerning. Has anyone else experienced similar delays recently? Is there any recommended escalation path or alternative way to reach the Developer Support team? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, as this delay is impacting my app release timeline. Thank you.

Unable to check for updates
Hey there, I recently updated my iPhone to the iOS 26 developers beta version, and I’m encountering an issue on the Software Update page. It says “Unable to check for updates,” and I’m unable to revert to iOS 18. Is this a temporary problem? Will I be able to update my iPhone in the future without needing to reset it? Thanks

Universal Links are not working in the Xcode 26 simulators
After updating the Xcode 26, defined universal links are not working in the iOS simulator. In the configuration, we have verified all the things including AASA file hosting and domain configuration. It is working properly in the real devices. Issue occurring only for Simulators. How can I debug it in the simulators to validate this ? Xcode Version: 26.1 Simulator iOS: 26.1

Finding out what code is creating some hidden files
I'm getting reports that my application is creating hidden files with names starting with .f and having 9 or 10 numbers after that. For example: .f678501541 .f1858565508 AFAIK I don't create any files with names like that! So how to determine a) if I am creating those files and b) exactly where in my code this is happening? Unless of course someone knows what creates files like this... Thanks, David

Read-only file system (Mac OS Extended)
After updating to another beta of High Sierra, my internal hard drive became read-only somehow. I have a user home directory on that and many things have stopped working. I tried re-installing the OS, but it didn't help. I'm out of options by now. Anyone has ideas how can I fix that?

“Unable to Check for Update” on iOS 26.0 (23A5260n)
That time of year again. I’ve tried multiple restarts, and it still won’t load. I’m not sure if/how to remove the beta profile at this point (that seems to have worked for previous betas), given that the beta settings are hidden.

Document menu == Lightbulb icon on Tahoe?
My app has a menu called "Document". On Tahoe, this appears as a lightbulb icon. Is this deliberate? Is it possible to stop this? Or do I just have to use a different name if I want people to read words?
