No Universal for Map App project with Tahoe
Mac Pro 2019, Tahoe 26.3, Xcode 26.2 Mac Mini 2023 M2, Tahoe 26.3, Xcode 26.2 On Mac Pro 2019 the app is only Intel while on Mac Mini 2023 M2 it is ARM64 only. Both have Standard Architectures (Apple Silicon, Intel). Both have Build Active Architecture Only is set to No (Debug + Release). Happen for default new projet macOS -> App and Obj-C, Xib. No change to defaults setting except uncheck "Automaticaly manage signing" and "Signing Certificate" set to "Sign to Run Locally" HOWEVER On Mac Pro 2019, BigSur 11.7.10, Xcode 14.10 the application is build Universal ! Why cannot build universal with Tahoe 26.3, Xcode 26.2 ? Can I submit a Mac applcation to App Store Connect with BigSur 11.7.10, Xcode 14.10 ? What are the minimal version of Mac Os and Xcode to submit a Mac applcation to App Store Connect ?

No identity found: Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code
Hello! I'm new to xcode and am developing an iOS app. I hit the following error when build my app: MY_SHA no identity found Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code I have generated my certificate through xcode. I can see the Certificate and the private key in Keychain -> login. But it's not that private key is under the Certificate. They are listed in parallel. The certificate appears in Certificate tab but not in My Certificate Tab. Would that matter? security find-certificate -a -Z | grep -A1 "Apple Development" Gives me the certificate. But security find-identity -v -p codesigning give 0 valid identity found. Could you help me figure out what could be the reason for this? I've been stuck for several days now. Thank you so much!

Xcode 26.4 rc
Since 26.4 beta 3 I've been having errors after a few hours of using Claude Agent. I get an error stating that I am not authed. If I go into Xcode settings, it still shows I am signed into Claude Agent. I have click sign out and then go through the whole auth process again to start using the agent again. This is on two separate computers. Is there anything I can do to stop this behaviour and stay logged in for longer? It worked fine in 26.3.

URGENT: Developer Program Expired – No Renewal Option – App Removed from App Store
Hello, We are currently experiencing a serious issue with our Apple Developer Program membership. Our membership has expired, but there is no option to renew the membership anywhere: Not on the Apple Developer website Not in the Apple Developer app Attempting to start enrollment again redirects to the main page Account details: Team ID: RZR56J4QQ8 Organization: E. V. I. ELECTRIC CARS LTD Role: Account Holder Because of this issue: All App Store agreements show as expired Our app has been removed from the App Store We are currently unable to restore service to users We already opened a Developer Support ticket about a week ago, but have not received any response. This is causing business impact, and we cannot find any way to trigger the renewal flow. Has anyone experienced this issue before, where the Renew Membership button does not appear at all? If anyone from Apple Developer Support / Apple Staff is able to assist or escalate this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Apple Developer Program paid on March 31 but still not activated - No response from Support
Hi everyone, I am writing to seek help regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I successfully paid the $99 USD enrollment fee on March 31, 2026. I received the official invoice (Web Order Number: D009560930), and my credit card was successfully charged. However, as of today, my developer account is still pending and has not been activated. I have already sent two separate emails to Apple Developer Support requesting assistance over the past few days, but I have not received any response or update from them yet. Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently? Is there any other way to escalate this issue or contact support directly to get my account activated? I have attached my invoice for reference. Any advice or help from the Apple team would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice or assistance regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I completed my purchase and paid the $99 fee back on March 5th. Today is March 23rd, and my account is still not activated. It has been 18 days of total silence. I have already sent multiple follow-up emails to Apple Support, but I haven't received a single response. My payment was successfully processed, but I haven't received any confirmation or activation emails since then. Here are my transaction details: Invoice Number: MC55225030 Web Order Number: D009495884 Sales Order Number: AEU2369279 Has anyone else experienced such a long delay recently? Is there any other way to escalate this issue besides the standard contact form? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Developer Program Payment Issues
Hello Everyone and @Apple Developer Support , I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program today, April 5th, 2026. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now. Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.” In my naivety, I clicked it again, assuming the payment hadn’t gone through. As a result, I’ve now paid for the membership twice and been billed twice. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback! Gibril

DeviceActivityReport Extension not working on iOS 26.4 — Extension process never launches
Device: iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 26.4 Xcode: Latest version, development signing with "Automatically manage signing" Team: Registered Apple Developer Program (Organization) Problem DeviceActivityReport SwiftUI view renders completely blank. The Report Extension's makeConfiguration(representing:) is never called (confirmed via App Group counter that stays at 0). The DeviceActivityMonitorExtension callbacks (intervalDidStart, eventDidReachThreshold) also never fire. What works AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .individual) → .approved DeviceActivityCenter().startMonitoring() → registers schedules successfully, center.activities returns them ManagedSettingsStore.shield.applications → blocks apps correctly from the main app process Screen Time is enabled and actively collecting data (Settings > Screen Time shows per-app usage: Clash Royale 2h 35m, etc.) App Group UserDefaults(suiteName:) read/write works from the main app What doesn't work DeviceActivityReportExtension.makeConfiguration() is never called (callCount stays 0 in App Group) DeviceActivityMonitorExtension.intervalDidStart() is never called No extension callbacks fire at all — the extension process is never launched by iOS Confirmed it's NOT our app's issue We created a brand new Xcode project from Apple's template: File > New > Project > App File > New > Target > Device Activity Report Extension Added Family Controls capability to both targets Embedded DeviceActivityReport view in ContentView with daily filter Built and ran on the same device Result: Same blank screen. The template project's Report Extension also never renders any data. Console errors Failed to locate container app bundle record. The process may not be entitled to access the LaunchServices database or the app may have moved. (501) personaAttributesForPersonaType for type:0 failed with error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.apple.mobile.usermanagerd.xpc was invalidated: Connection init failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction." LaunchServices: store (null) or url (null) was nil: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied. This attempt will not be retried. Failed to initialize client context with error Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" What we've tried Deleting app, rebooting device, reinstalling Re-requesting FamilyControls authorization on every launch Embedding extensions with "Embed & Sign" (not just "Embed Without Signing") Verified all 3 .appex files are in PlugIns/ directory at runtime Verified App Group (group.com.parentguard.app) is accessible Verified all App IDs and capabilities registered in Apple Developer portal Tried different DeviceActivityFilter configurations (daily, hourly) Placed DeviceActivityReport view at root of view hierarchy Clean build, new provisioning profiles Extensions embedded [Diagnose] Found extension: DeviceActivityReportExtension.appex [Diagnose] Found extension: DeviceActivityMonitorExtension.appex [Diagnose] Found extension: ShieldConfigurationExtension.appex Question Has anyone gotten DeviceActivityReport or DeviceActivityMonitorExtension to work on iOS 26.4 with a development-signed build from Xcode? Is there a specific configuration or workaround that makes the extension process launch? The Sandbox restriction error (159) on usermanagerd.xpc seems to be the root cause — is there an entitlement or device setting we're missing?

The Apple developer registration process is taking too long.
Hello everyone, I paid for an Apple Developer subscription, but after about 5-6 days I still can't access my developer funds. Please help me access and activate my developer account. I haven't received a response for several days and I'm very upset. I don't know what to do. They're not responding to my requests and the phone number isn't listed anywhere, so I can't call. The Apple Developer subscription appears in the App Store subscriptions, money is being withdrawn from my account, the account isn't active, and my Apple Developer account is empty. This is my first and very frustrating experience. Order code: W1314135156

My iOS Swift application works on wide range of iPhones from iPhone X to iPhone 16 Pro Max
My iOS Swift application works without problems and tested on wide range of iPhones from iPhone X to iPhone 16 Pro Max when compiled by XCode 16.4. When compiled on Xcode 26 application it frequently crashes with 0x8BADF00D FRONTBOARD error in various places when running on iPhone 14 Plus, most often when typing or when scrolling the screen. It works without problems on iPhone 16 Pro Max independent of the version of Xcode used for compilation. I followed dozens of recommendations, introduced async/await, tasks, significantly reduced complexity of layouts, making uniform bubbles etc.etc. , tried to introduce many simplifications in the application, still I could not achieve elimination of frequent crashes on iPhone 14 Plus running iOS 26.3.1, no matter what I tried. Other than that all functionality seems to be working. This is the beginning of the Crash report: Termination Reason: Namespace FRONTBOARD, <RBSTerminateContext| domain:10 code:0x8BADF00D explanation: Failed to terminate gracefully after 5.0s ProcessVisibility: Unknown ProcessState: Running WatchdogEvent: process-exit WatchdogVisibility: Foreground WatchdogCPUStatistics: ( "Elapsed total CPU time (seconds): 9.330 (user 7.670, system 1.660), 29% CPU", "Elapsed application CPU time (seconds): 5.358, 17% CPU" ) Thread 0 name: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Thread 0 Crashed: 0 ??? 0x1b184c7b0 ??? 1 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19de70694 ContiguousArrayStorage.__deallocating_deinit + 95 2 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19dd013a8 swift_release_dealloc + 55 3 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19dd01fc4 bool swift::RefCounts<swift::RefCountBitsT<(swift::RefCountInlinedness)1>>::doDecrementSlow<(swift::PerformDeinit)1>(swift::RefCountBitsT<(swift::RefCountInlinedness)1>, unsigned int) + 151 4 SwiftUICore 0x1aaee2ca4 LazyLayoutViewCache.updatePrefetchPhases() + 1315 5 SwiftUICore 0x1ab129068 specialized LazySubviewPlacements.updateValue() + 4251 6 SwiftUICore 0x1ab14a23c specialized implicit closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in Attribute.init(:) + 23 7 AttributeGraph 0x1d2be8e48 AG::Graph::UpdateStack::update() + 499 8 AttributeGraph 0x1d2beacf0 AG::Subgraph::update(unsigned int) + 959 9 SwiftUICore 0x1aace5b44 specialized GraphHost.runTransaction(:do:id:) + 387 10 SwiftUICore 0x1aac772d8 GraphHost.flushTransactions() + 183 11 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0fa80 <deduplicated_symbol> + 23 12 SwiftUICore 0x1aac71578 partial apply for closure #1 in ViewGraphRootValueUpdater.updateGraph(body:) + 27 13 SwiftUICore 0x1aac73f54 ViewGraphRootValueUpdater._updateViewGraph(body:) + 231 14 SwiftUICore 0x1aac714d0 ViewGraphRootValueUpdater.updateGraph(body:) + 179 15 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0fa4c closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 171 16 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0f998 partial apply for closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 23 17 SwiftUICore 0x1aac69aa8 closure #1 in static Update.ensure(:) + 55 18 SwiftUICore 0x1aac69cec static Update.ensure(:) + 99 19 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0f970 partial apply for closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 79 20 SwiftUICore 0x1aad97e10 <deduplicated_symbol> + 27 21 SwiftUICore 0x1aac5aab0 specialized static NSRunLoop.flushObservers() + 363 22 SwiftUICore 0x1aac5a91c @objc closure #1 in static NSRunLoop.addObserver(:) + 27 23 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c87ea0 CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_AN_OBSERVER_CALLBACK_FUNCTION + 35 24 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c7158c __CFRunLoopDoObservers + 647 25 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c48740 __CFRunLoopRun + 923 26 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c47a6c CFRunLoopRunSpecificWithOptions + 531 27 GraphicsServices 0x2455d9498 GSEventRunModal + 119 28 UIKitCore 0x1a66f7df8 -[UIApplication run] + 791 29 UIKitCore 0x1a66a0e54 UIApplicationMain + 335 30 SwiftUI 0x1a99b8d20 closure #1 in KitRendererCommon(:) + 167 31 SwiftUI 0x1a99b58d4 runApp(:) + 111 32 SwiftUI 0x1a99b53c0 static App.main() + 171

Apple Developer Program membership renewal still not updating active after payment
Hi, I hope it's ok to post this here as I'm on a bit of a time-crunch to have this sorted and looking to get this issue resolved. I just renewed my Apple Developer Program membership (annual subscription) and received my order confirmation (Order #W1411330632, placed February 28, 2026) for $1,749.00 MXN. However, my membership status still hasn't updated to active. Is this normal (a waiting period for a renewal). If not, could someone help guide me in the direction of whom to reach out to for support? Thank you for your help. Regards, Joe

Does your Canvas in Xcode crash all the time due to AXRemoteElement-BackgroundFetch?
Hi everyone, yesterday I updated my macOS and Xcode to the latest versions and today I have the strangest thing: Canvas is always crashing whenever I click it, in any and all my Projects. The full Simulator works just fine; only the Preview Canvas crashes. All the crash reports say it's because of AXRemoteElement-BackgroundFetch, and ChatGPT says it's not because of my code. These are very simple Projects, just for experimentation. Nothing complex, just native code while I follow examples in a SwiftUI book. Anyone else having this issue? Translated Report (Full Report Below) ------------------------------------- Process: PreviewShell [2179] Path: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/PreviewShell.app/PreviewShell Identifier: com.apple.PreviewShell Version: 16.0 (23.40.29) Code Type: ARM-64 (Native) Role: Foreground Parent Process: launchd_sim [1405] Coalition: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDevice.E9525D59-3C07-43F9-ACC9-18CF5DD0DAA1 [1516] Responsible Process: SimulatorTrampoline [1120] User ID: 501 Date/Time: 2026-03-26 15:00:02.6060 +0200 Launch Time: 2026-03-26 14:57:33.8870 +0200 Hardware Model: Mac17,9 OS Version: macOS 26.4 (25E246) Release Type: User Crash Reporter Key: 1DC4EA68-804A-D651-804B-C2E0C13D9B87 Incident Identifier: F3F1A52F-AFF9-4470-A216-7364FCB5B7E6 Time Awake Since Boot: 1100 seconds System Integrity Protection: enabled Triggered by Thread: 4, Dispatch Queue: AXRemoteElement-BackgroundFetch Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Subtype: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x000000016b6bfff0 Exception Message: Could not determine thread index for stack guard region Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x000000016b6bfff0 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 10, Bus error: 10 Terminating Process: exc handler [2179]

git ignore files not functioning
Since a combined upgrade to macOS 26.4 and Xcode 26.4 I am plagued by .DS_Store and UserInterfaceState files appearing in my repository list of uncommitted changes. This is preventing commits and merging etc. I have added the following list to both the .gitignore_global file via directly editing the file and also the Xcode>Settings>Git Settings>Ignore Files # Mac OS X .DS_Store # Xcode *.pbxuser *.mode1v3 *.mode2v3 *.perspectivev3 *.xcuserstate UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate project.xcworkspace/ xcuserdata/ # Generated files *.o *.pyc # Build directories DerivedData/ build/ # CocoaPods Pods/ # Carthage Carthage/ # Other *.swp *.lock This has been to no avail. I have raised Feedback FB22370688 for this issue. It has been marked as no similar reports which is odd because there are a lot of mentions of the .DS_Store files appearing in Git and also of problems with the ignore settings of Git. For a while, I successfully prevented the .DS_Store files from showing up as uncommitted changes but now they are back again. I did a git status on the project and got this output for a while Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: Target Analysis.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/myuserid.xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate Ignored files: (use "git add -f <file>..." to include in what will be committed) Target Analysis iOS/ Target Analysis macOS/ Views/Testing/.DS_Store Now, in Xcode it looks like this So the .DS_Store files are no longer being ignored. I have raised an Apple Developer Tech Support (DTS) Question as I have exhausted every avenue that I could find. DTS said to just remove the file(s) in Git. Neither this nor the .gitignore_global file are fixing the problem. This all just seems to be so unnecessarily difficult especially as many others have faced the same problem.

Device: iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 26.4 Xcode: Latest version, development signing with "Automatically manage signing" Team: Registered Apple Developer Program (Organization) Problem DeviceActivityReport SwiftUI view renders completely blank. The Report Extension's makeConfiguration(representing:) is never called (confirmed via App Group counter that stays at 0). The DeviceActivityMonitorExtension callbacks (intervalDidStart, eventDidReachThreshold) also never fire. What works AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .individual) → .approved DeviceActivityCenter().startMonitoring() → registers schedules successfully, center.activities returns them ManagedSettingsStore.shield.applications → blocks apps correctly from the main app process Screen Time is enabled and actively collecting data (Settings > Screen Time shows per-app usage: Clash Royale 2h 35m, etc.) App Group UserDefaults(suiteName:) read/write works from the main app What doesn't work DeviceActivityReportExtension.makeConfiguration() is never called (callCount stays 0 in App Group) DeviceActivityMonitorExtension.intervalDidStart() is never called No extension callbacks fire at all — the extension process is never launched by iOS Confirmed it's NOT our app's issue We created a brand new Xcode project from Apple's template: File > New > Project > App File > New > Target > Device Activity Report Extension Added Family Controls capability to both targets Embedded DeviceActivityReport view in ContentView with daily filter Built and ran on the same device Result: Same blank screen. The template project's Report Extension also never renders any data. Console errors Failed to locate container app bundle record. The process may not be entitled to access the LaunchServices database or the app may have moved. (501) personaAttributesForPersonaType for type:0 failed with error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.apple.mobile.usermanagerd.xpc was invalidated: Connection init failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction." LaunchServices: store (null) or url (null) was nil: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied. This attempt will not be retried. Failed to initialize client context with error Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" What we've tried Deleting app, rebooting device, reinstalling Re-requesting FamilyControls authorization on every launch Embedding extensions with "Embed & Sign" (not just "Embed Without Signing") Verified all 3 .appex files are in PlugIns/ directory at runtime Verified App Group (group.com.parentguard.app) is accessible Verified all App IDs and capabilities registered in Apple Developer portal Tried different DeviceActivityFilter configurations (daily, hourly) Placed DeviceActivityReport view at root of view hierarchy Clean build, new provisioning profiles Extensions embedded [Diagnose] Found extension: DeviceActivityReportExtension.appex [Diagnose] Found extension: DeviceActivityMonitorExtension.appex [Diagnose] Found extension: ShieldConfigurationExtension.appex Question Has anyone gotten DeviceActivityReport or DeviceActivityMonitorExtension to work on iOS 26.4 with a development-signed build from Xcode? Is there a specific configuration or workaround that makes the extension process launch? The Sandbox restriction error (159) on usermanagerd.xpc seems to be the root cause — is there an entitlement or device setting we're missing?

The Apple developer registration process is taking too long.
Hello everyone, I paid for an Apple Developer subscription, but after about 5-6 days I still can't access my developer funds. Please help me access and activate my developer account. I haven't received a response for several days and I'm very upset. I don't know what to do. They're not responding to my requests and the phone number isn't listed anywhere, so I can't call. The Apple Developer subscription appears in the App Store subscriptions, money is being withdrawn from my account, the account isn't active, and my Apple Developer account is empty. This is my first and very frustrating experience. Order code: W1314135156

Allow suggesting changes to topic and tags on other people's posts
Many posts on the Apple Developer Forums are categorized incorrectly. It would be nice if there was a way to suggest changes to the topic and tags that someone else's post is filed under and have these changes be able to be approved either by a forum admin or the original poster.

My iOS Swift application works on wide range of iPhones from iPhone X to iPhone 16 Pro Max
My iOS Swift application works without problems and tested on wide range of iPhones from iPhone X to iPhone 16 Pro Max when compiled by XCode 16.4. When compiled on Xcode 26 application it frequently crashes with 0x8BADF00D FRONTBOARD error in various places when running on iPhone 14 Plus, most often when typing or when scrolling the screen. It works without problems on iPhone 16 Pro Max independent of the version of Xcode used for compilation. I followed dozens of recommendations, introduced async/await, tasks, significantly reduced complexity of layouts, making uniform bubbles etc.etc. , tried to introduce many simplifications in the application, still I could not achieve elimination of frequent crashes on iPhone 14 Plus running iOS 26.3.1, no matter what I tried. Other than that all functionality seems to be working. This is the beginning of the Crash report: Termination Reason: Namespace FRONTBOARD, <RBSTerminateContext| domain:10 code:0x8BADF00D explanation: Failed to terminate gracefully after 5.0s ProcessVisibility: Unknown ProcessState: Running WatchdogEvent: process-exit WatchdogVisibility: Foreground WatchdogCPUStatistics: ( "Elapsed total CPU time (seconds): 9.330 (user 7.670, system 1.660), 29% CPU", "Elapsed application CPU time (seconds): 5.358, 17% CPU" ) Thread 0 name: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Thread 0 Crashed: 0 ??? 0x1b184c7b0 ??? 1 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19de70694 ContiguousArrayStorage.__deallocating_deinit + 95 2 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19dd013a8 swift_release_dealloc + 55 3 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19dd01fc4 bool swift::RefCounts<swift::RefCountBitsT<(swift::RefCountInlinedness)1>>::doDecrementSlow<(swift::PerformDeinit)1>(swift::RefCountBitsT<(swift::RefCountInlinedness)1>, unsigned int) + 151 4 SwiftUICore 0x1aaee2ca4 LazyLayoutViewCache.updatePrefetchPhases() + 1315 5 SwiftUICore 0x1ab129068 specialized LazySubviewPlacements.updateValue() + 4251 6 SwiftUICore 0x1ab14a23c specialized implicit closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in Attribute.init(:) + 23 7 AttributeGraph 0x1d2be8e48 AG::Graph::UpdateStack::update() + 499 8 AttributeGraph 0x1d2beacf0 AG::Subgraph::update(unsigned int) + 959 9 SwiftUICore 0x1aace5b44 specialized GraphHost.runTransaction(:do:id:) + 387 10 SwiftUICore 0x1aac772d8 GraphHost.flushTransactions() + 183 11 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0fa80 <deduplicated_symbol> + 23 12 SwiftUICore 0x1aac71578 partial apply for closure #1 in ViewGraphRootValueUpdater.updateGraph(body:) + 27 13 SwiftUICore 0x1aac73f54 ViewGraphRootValueUpdater._updateViewGraph(body:) + 231 14 SwiftUICore 0x1aac714d0 ViewGraphRootValueUpdater.updateGraph(body:) + 179 15 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0fa4c closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 171 16 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0f998 partial apply for closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 23 17 SwiftUICore 0x1aac69aa8 closure #1 in static Update.ensure(:) + 55 18 SwiftUICore 0x1aac69cec static Update.ensure(:) + 99 19 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0f970 partial apply for closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 79 20 SwiftUICore 0x1aad97e10 <deduplicated_symbol> + 27 21 SwiftUICore 0x1aac5aab0 specialized static NSRunLoop.flushObservers() + 363 22 SwiftUICore 0x1aac5a91c @objc closure #1 in static NSRunLoop.addObserver(:) + 27 23 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c87ea0 CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_AN_OBSERVER_CALLBACK_FUNCTION + 35 24 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c7158c __CFRunLoopDoObservers + 647 25 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c48740 __CFRunLoopRun + 923 26 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c47a6c CFRunLoopRunSpecificWithOptions + 531 27 GraphicsServices 0x2455d9498 GSEventRunModal + 119 28 UIKitCore 0x1a66f7df8 -[UIApplication run] + 791 29 UIKitCore 0x1a66a0e54 UIApplicationMain + 335 30 SwiftUI 0x1a99b8d20 closure #1 in KitRendererCommon(:) + 167 31 SwiftUI 0x1a99b58d4 runApp(:) + 111 32 SwiftUI 0x1a99b53c0 static App.main() + 171

Apple Developer Program membership renewal still not updating active after payment
Hi, I hope it's ok to post this here as I'm on a bit of a time-crunch to have this sorted and looking to get this issue resolved. I just renewed my Apple Developer Program membership (annual subscription) and received my order confirmation (Order #W1411330632, placed February 28, 2026) for $1,749.00 MXN. However, my membership status still hasn't updated to active. Is this normal (a waiting period for a renewal). If not, could someone help guide me in the direction of whom to reach out to for support? Thank you for your help. Regards, Joe

Does your Canvas in Xcode crash all the time due to AXRemoteElement-BackgroundFetch?
Hi everyone, yesterday I updated my macOS and Xcode to the latest versions and today I have the strangest thing: Canvas is always crashing whenever I click it, in any and all my Projects. The full Simulator works just fine; only the Preview Canvas crashes. All the crash reports say it's because of AXRemoteElement-BackgroundFetch, and ChatGPT says it's not because of my code. These are very simple Projects, just for experimentation. Nothing complex, just native code while I follow examples in a SwiftUI book. Anyone else having this issue? Translated Report (Full Report Below) ------------------------------------- Process: PreviewShell [2179] Path: /Volumes/VOLUME/*/PreviewShell.app/PreviewShell Identifier: com.apple.PreviewShell Version: 16.0 (23.40.29) Code Type: ARM-64 (Native) Role: Foreground Parent Process: launchd_sim [1405] Coalition: com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDevice.E9525D59-3C07-43F9-ACC9-18CF5DD0DAA1 [1516] Responsible Process: SimulatorTrampoline [1120] User ID: 501 Date/Time: 2026-03-26 15:00:02.6060 +0200 Launch Time: 2026-03-26 14:57:33.8870 +0200 Hardware Model: Mac17,9 OS Version: macOS 26.4 (25E246) Release Type: User Crash Reporter Key: 1DC4EA68-804A-D651-804B-C2E0C13D9B87 Incident Identifier: F3F1A52F-AFF9-4470-A216-7364FCB5B7E6 Time Awake Since Boot: 1100 seconds System Integrity Protection: enabled Triggered by Thread: 4, Dispatch Queue: AXRemoteElement-BackgroundFetch Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Subtype: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x000000016b6bfff0 Exception Message: Could not determine thread index for stack guard region Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x000000016b6bfff0 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 10, Bus error: 10 Terminating Process: exc handler [2179]

git ignore files not functioning
Since a combined upgrade to macOS 26.4 and Xcode 26.4 I am plagued by .DS_Store and UserInterfaceState files appearing in my repository list of uncommitted changes. This is preventing commits and merging etc. I have added the following list to both the .gitignore_global file via directly editing the file and also the Xcode>Settings>Git Settings>Ignore Files # Mac OS X .DS_Store # Xcode *.pbxuser *.mode1v3 *.mode2v3 *.perspectivev3 *.xcuserstate UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate project.xcworkspace/ xcuserdata/ # Generated files *.o *.pyc # Build directories DerivedData/ build/ # CocoaPods Pods/ # Carthage Carthage/ # Other *.swp *.lock This has been to no avail. I have raised Feedback FB22370688 for this issue. It has been marked as no similar reports which is odd because there are a lot of mentions of the .DS_Store files appearing in Git and also of problems with the ignore settings of Git. For a while, I successfully prevented the .DS_Store files from showing up as uncommitted changes but now they are back again. I did a git status on the project and got this output for a while Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: Target Analysis.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/myuserid.xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate Ignored files: (use "git add -f <file>..." to include in what will be committed) Target Analysis iOS/ Target Analysis macOS/ Views/Testing/.DS_Store Now, in Xcode it looks like this So the .DS_Store files are no longer being ignored. I have raised an Apple Developer Tech Support (DTS) Question as I have exhausted every avenue that I could find. DTS said to just remove the file(s) in Git. Neither this nor the .gitignore_global file are fixing the problem. This all just seems to be so unnecessarily difficult especially as many others have faced the same problem.
