Overview

I recently released the first version of my app, and it was discoverable via App Store search. After pushing an update with bug fixes and improved keywords/category, the new version went live and showed as “Ready for Sale” within hours. However, since the update, the app no longer appears in App Store search results - even when searched using its exact name. It’s still accessible through the direct link. Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

When inputting data within a sheet, I'm allowing the user to take a photo, so the camera is called and presents itself within a 2nd sheet, however the controls are centered within the iPhone's entire screen, cropping the top controls and not extending down to the bottom of the phone's screen. Any help on how to fix this?

Hello, We have applied for the Apple Developer Program under a government organization account. After submitting the enrollment, we received a confirmation email stating that the request was received and that we would be contacted after verification of authorization to bind the organization to the Apple Developer Program legal agreements. However, it has been quite some time, and we have not received any further updates regarding the verification process. We would like to understand: What is the usual verification timeline for government organizations? Is extended verification common for government entities? Is there anything additional we should do from our side to help move the process forward? If anyone has experienced a similar situation or can share guidance, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello dear developers! Recently, I stumbled upon some really strange behavior of SwiftUI and I’m very curious why it works this way struct ContentView: View { @State private var title: String? @State private var isSheetPresented: Bool = false var body: some View { Button("Hello, world!") { title = "Sheet title" isSheetPresented = true } .sheet(isPresented: $isSheetPresented, content: { if let title { Text(title) } else { EmptyView() } }) } } Why in this case when we tap the button and sheet comes in we go to the branch else even though we set title before isSheetPresented but it still somehow nil But what really drive me crazy is that if we change a little bit code to this: I just added another @State property 'number' and use it as the Button's title. In this scenario it works 😃 and Text in the sheet view appearing struct ContentView: View { @State private var title: String? @State private var number = 0 @State private var isSheetPresented = false var body: some View { Button("\(number)") { title = "Sheet title" number += 0 isSheetPresented = true } .sheet(isPresented: $isSheetPresented, content: { if let title { Text(title) } else { EmptyView() } }) } } Is this somehow related to what happens under the hood like View Tree and Render Tree (Attribute Graph)? Maybe because ContentView’s body doesn't capture title it cannot be stored in the Render Tree so it always would have the initial value of nil? if there are any well-informed folks here, please help me figure out this mystery, I’d appreciate it!!! p.s. Don’t get me wrong. Im not interested in how to make it work. I’m interested in why this doesn’t work and what really happens under the hood that led to this result

Missing recommended icon. The bundle does not contain an alternate app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '120x120' pixels, in .png format for iOS versions >= 10.0. To support older versions of iOS, the icon may be required in the bundle outside of an asset catalog. Make sure the Info.plist file includes appropriate entries referencing the file. See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/cfbundleicons (90890) Missing Icon. The Info.plist key CFBundleIcons.CFBundleAlternateIcons contains an entry “newIcon” that references asset “newIcon.” No such asset is present in the asset catalog. (90895) I configured multiple icon settings in Xcode 26 version. I added new Icons in the asset file. However, after packaging and uploading the app to the AppStore, it kept giving me an error message saying that some content was missing. Looking at the documentation, it doesn't seem to say that starting from Xcode 13, we can configure through the asset file?

I add the following info in the build settings of my app. Then I also add the icon to my asset. I build the app, it works normally, but I notice that when I changed the icon to 'AppIcon-Defaults', The icon change alert didn't appear. but it succeeds . I uploaded the archive to App Store I got: ITMS-90895: Missing Icon - The Info.plist key CFBundleIcons.CFBundleAlternateIcons contains an entry “AppIcon-Defaults” that references asset “AppIcon-Defaults.” No such asset is present in the asset catalog. Then I use xcrun --sdk iphoneos assetutil --info Assets.car to check the assets inside the archieved app, It have the asset.

Hello everyone, I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced longer App Review delays recently. Our recent app submission has been in the “In Review” status for more than 7 days (since Jan 15, 10:44 PM). In our previous submissions, reviews usually started or completed within a few days, so this delay feels unusual. Current situation: No messages or rejection notes from Apple No metadata or compliance issues flagged Status remains “In Review” without updates I’d appreciate guidance from the community: • Is this type of delay normal these days? • Could this indicate a manual or extended review? • At what point should we contact App Review directly? • What is the best way to contact App Store / App Review support regarding a stuck review? If anyone has faced a similar delay and can share their experience or advice, it would be very helpful. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, I’m looking for assistance regarding my Apple Ads account. When I try to log in, I receive the following message: “This Apple Account is no longer authorized for Apple Ads. If you believe that this is an error, please contact us.” When I click “Contact us,” I am redirected back to the same message and cannot submit a support request. I have not received any email explaining this restriction. At the same time, my ads appear to still be running, as I am seeing new users coming into my app. Since I cannot access the account, I currently have no visibility or control over active campaigns and potential ongoing spend. I would appreciate guidance on how to resolve this or how to directly contact Apple Ads support, as I am unable to reach them through the platform. Thank you for your help.

I have been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for the past two weeks, but I keep encountering different errors. Most of the time, I receive a 404 error page saying, “Something went wrong. Try again.” Three days ago, $100 was deducted from my bank account by Apple, but my developer account status still shows “Pending.” Apple states that “Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process,” but it has now been more than 48 hours and there has been no update. I have already: Sent an email to devpayment @apple.com with screenshots and full details (no response). Opened a case through Apple Developer Program Support and only received an automated reply saying, “Thank you for contacting us.” At this point, it feels like there is no real support available to resolve this issue. Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you resolve it? Thank you.

Hello I was building my submission for contest and I noticed that my app built and ran fine on Xcode but didn't even build on swift playground, so should I be concerned about this, and where do the judges finally run and test our submitted playground is it in swift playground app or Xcode ??

Currently, I have purchased the Apple Developer Program for 4 days. However, I can not access or hear any news from Apple team that where I was wrong or do my account have any problems.

aID is an ID service for 150+ newspaper sites in Norway. Since the middle of January the average login time with passkeys on our site https://www.aid.no/ has increased for Safari users, the number of logins using passkey in Safari has decreased dramatically. Previously Safari was the browser that provided the best user experience during login, since it triggered fingerprint reader straight away, but this behavior has vanished. Has something changed that we should be aware of, and is there something we can do to make conditional get great again? Without mediation conditional, the passkeys work as expected. In Chrome and Firefox, we get passkey suggestions in the username field, in Safari it's only password suggestions. To make things even stranger, the same code works as it used to in our test environment. It triggers a small popup by the username field and activates the fingerprint reader. If I cancel this, I can click on the Passwords icon and get passkey suggestion there.

› It is reasonable to assume Xcode AI integration means AI being able to change the build target... “Why can Xcode Intelligence see source files but not .xcodeproj/project.pbxproj for direct edit?” “Is this a known limitation/bug in Xcode 26.3 RC Project Context or MCP Xcode Tools?” “Any required entitlement/setting beyond Intelligence > Xcode Tools for build-setting edits?”

Hi, new developer here. I have an issue where an image I have on app is not showing up on some devices. The image is: Resources/Assets/logo: I am using it in my app like: ZStack { Color.white .ignoresSafeArea() VStack { Spacer() Image("logo") Spacer() Text(dateString) .font(.custom("LinLibertine", size: 17)) .fontWeight(.bold) .tracking(5) .padding(.bottom, 50) } } The image appears fine on all simulators. And also on my real device iPad with A14. But when I run it on iPhone 8 or iPad Air M4, it shows empty space in place of image. I tried many different options like: Image("logo") .renderingMode(.original) .resizable() .scaledToFit() frame(width: 300) .background(Color.red.opacity(0.3)) But nothing works. What can be the issue?

Hi everyone, I’m developing a cross-platform mobile app (React Native) but I don’t currently own a Mac. What is the most reliable and professional way to: Build the iOS version Test it properly (real device / TestFlight) Upload it to the App Store Are cloud Mac services (like MacinCloud, AWS Mac, etc.) considered stable for production release workflows? Is there any fully supported workflow without direct access to a physical Mac? Would appreciate real-world experience from developers who faced the same situation. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a big suggestion for the next update! My suggestion is to upgrade the call filtering system : - “Block suspicious calls” It automatically block numbers that are likely to be unwanted or spam. These calls should not ring, should not appear in the call history, and should be silently discarded. - “Block unknown callers/hidden numbers” Instead of receiving a call from a hidden or unknown caller and seeing it appear in the missed calls list, the call should be completely blocked and not recorded at all, no notification, no sight of call. - “Filter numbers that are not from contacts” If the same unknown number calls too frequently within a week and the user never answers (for example 10 times per day, or 5 times per day if considered suspicious or too much spam in a little time), the iPhone should automatically block this number. The device would display a message such as: “This number has called too many times and has been automatically blocked for 3 day(or 1 week).” The block could also apply to the entire IP range or source associated with the unknown caller. It is very helpful for most of unwanted calls.

Hello, I've just been unfortunate enough to discover a critical issue. I have two apps using Asset Packs, and I believe both apps had an Asset Pack with the same identifier. In App Store Connect for App B, I archived this Asset Pack. However, the Asset Pack has been archived for both Apps. This shouldn't happen.

I am just starting to learn SpriteKit and I'm having trouble selecting a scene to preview an action in the actions editor. I created a new macOS Game project (Language: Swift, Game Technology: SpriteKit). When I open the generated 'Actions.sks' file, I see the message "No Preview Scene Selected" in the editor. I see the 'GameScene.sks' scene listed in the "Select..." control in the lower right, but it is greyed out. I'm not able to figure out how to select a scene to preview the action. I'm running Xcode 26.2 on macOS 15. Thanks very much for the help.

I've recently updated one of our CI mac mini's to Sequoia in preparation for the transition to Tahoe later this year. Most things seemed to work just fine, however I see this dialog whenever the UI Tests try to run. This application BoostBrowerUITest-Runner is auto-generated by Xcode to launch your application and then run your UI Tests. We do not have any control over it, which is why this is most surprising. I've checked the codesigning identity with codesign -d -vvvv as well as looked at it's Info.plist and indeed the usage descriptions for everything are present (again, this is autogenerated, so I'm not surprised, but just wanted to confirm the string from the dialog was coming from this app) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>BuildMachineOSBuild</key> <string>22A380021</string> <key>CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations</key> <true/> <key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key> <string>en</string> <key>CFBundleExecutable</key> <string>BoostBrowserUITests-Runner</string> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>company.thebrowser.Browser2UITests.xctrunner</string> <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key> <string>6.0</string> <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>BoostBrowserUITests-Runner</string> <key>CFBundlePackageType</key> <string>APPL</string> <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key> <string>1.0</string> <key>CFBundleSignature</key> <string>????</string> <key>CFBundleSupportedPlatforms</key> <array> <string>MacOSX</string> </array> <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>1</string> <key>DTCompiler</key> <string>com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0</string> <key>DTPlatformBuild</key> <string>24A324</string> <key>DTPlatformName</key> <string>macosx</string> <key>DTPlatformVersion</key> <string>15.0</string> <key>DTSDKBuild</key> <string>24A324</string> <key>DTSDKName</key> <string>macosx15.0.internal</string> <key>DTXcode</key> <string>1620</string> <key>DTXcodeBuild</key> <string>16C5031c</string> <key>LSBackgroundOnly</key> <true/> <key>LSMinimumSystemVersion</key> <string>13.0</string> <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key> <dict> <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key> <true/> </dict> <key>NSAppleEventsUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSCalendarsUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSContactsUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSDesktopFolderUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSDocumentsFolderUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSDownloadsFolderUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSFileProviderDomainUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSFileProviderPresenceUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSLocationUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSMotionUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSNetworkVolumesUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSRemindersUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSRemovableVolumesUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSSystemAdministrationUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>NSSystemExtensionUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> <key>OSBundleUsageDescription</key> <string>Access is necessary for automated testing.</string> </dict> </plist> Additionally, spctl --assess --type execute BoostBrowserUITests-Runner.app return an exit code of 0 so I assume that means it can launch just fine, and applications are allowed to be run from "anywhere" in System Settings. I've found the XCUIProtectedResource.localNetwork value, but it seems to only be accessible on iOS for some reason (FB17829325). I'm trying to figure out why this is happening on this machine so I can either fix our code or fix the machine. I have an Apple script that will allow it, but it's fiddly and I'd prefer to fix this the correct way either with the machine or with fixing our testing code.
