I'm facing an issue with Xcode Cloud. Every branch I push to my GitLab repository is not appearing as selectable when I try to create a build with my workflow. Additionally, if I try to update the workflow from Xcode, it crashes every time I save the changes. Any help would be appreciated.

Apple platforms make it easy to distribute your app to a variety of compatible devices, so it’s important to maximize your app experience on each platform you support. Here are some tips from App Review to help you understand how device compatibility impacts your app’s distribution — and how to make sure your apps shine on every platform they’re on. Understand device compatibility There are many ways an app built for one Apple device can run on other Apple devices: Apps designed for iPhone can run on iPad devices in compatibility mode if there are no dependencies on iPhone device capabilities. Compatible iPhone and iPad apps can run unmodified on Macs with Apple Silicon. Compatible iPhone and iPad apps can run unmodified on Apple Vision Pro. Xcode provides options to configure settings for apps on multiple platforms. You can specify which platforms your app’s target supports in the Supported Destination field. However, it’s important to note: People may still be able to run your app on a device even if you remove it or don't include it as a Supported Destination in Xcode. For example, as long as an app designed for iPhone doesn’t depend on a capability that’s only available on iPhone, it can be downloaded from the App Store onto iPad. Adding or removing iPad as a Supported Destination in Xcode won’t change that app’s availability on iPad. To view examples of cases where it's appropriate to restrict availability, see Restrict device distribution below. Follow compatibility best practices 1. Plan and test for compatibility modes so your app works on every device where it can be downloaded. Do: Use Xcode simulators to verify basic functionality across different device types. Leverage TestFlight with external testers who have access to a wide range of Apple devices. Don't: Don’t submit for review without testing your app’s behavior in compatibility modes. Don’t assume removing a supported destination in Xcode prevents distribution to that device type. 2. Build adaptive interfaces that work across device variations. Do: Build interfaces that respond to different screen sizes and orientations. Adapt features based on available hardware, providing alternatives for a consistent experience. Don't: Don’t design rigid interfaces that assume only one type of device or input method. Don’t let your app crash or become unusable when optional hardware is unavailable. Restrict device distribution Wherever possible, it’s best to make your app available on multiple platforms to increase its reach and provide people with a consistent experience across devices. But there are cases where it does makes sense to restrict an app’s availability. For example: iPhone apps that rely on iPhone-specific hardware won’t function as expected on iPad. Use the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key in the information property list file to specify hardware dependencies. Note: Apps should only use the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key for genuine hardware dependencies, not to indicate distribution preferences. Navigation- or camera-based apps are not well suited for visionOS. Learn more about managing availability of iPhone and iPad apps on Apple Vision Pro. Apps that rely heavily on touch inputs that can’t be replicated on a keyboard are not well suited for macOS. Learn more about restricting distribution to Apple Silicon devices. Learn more about how to configure multiplatform apps in Xcode. Support If you need more assistance, explore these support options: If your submission has been rejected, reply to the message from App Review in App Store Connect and request clarification. Request an App Review appointment through Meet with Apple. Appointments are available during local business hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you believe your app follows the App Review Guidelines, consider submitting an appeal to the App Review Board.

We are creating an app and app is uploaded on the TestFlight but it is not allowing to download from TestFlight. We are unable to connect to Apple Developer Support teams. Any one please guide us why it is showing error when we try to download from iPhone App store ( The requested App is not available or does not exist)

Hello, I would like to formally raise a concern regarding an ongoing lack of communication in the review process. Two of my applications have been in the “Waiting for Review” stage for an unusually extended period. During this time, I have: • Sent multiple support emails • Submitted an expedited review request • Attempted to follow up through official channels Despite these efforts, I have not received a single response or status update. I understand that review timelines can fluctuate depending on workload and complexity. However, prolonged silence without acknowledgment creates uncertainty and directly impacts release planning, user acquisition strategy, and overall operational decisions. This is not a complaint about review duration alone. It is primarily about the absence of communication. Even a brief confirmation or estimated timeline would significantly improve the situation. I respectfully request clarification on the status of these submissions and the reason for the continued “Waiting for Review” state. I sincerely hope this matter can be resolved promptly. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Berkay

On the following developer account page, you have the ability to update your address information, but it does not appear to be working for me. If you go to https://developer.apple.com/account and scroll down the page. You come to a section called Membership Details with a link to update your information. When you click on this link it shows a dialog which has two choices. One is for Change Contact Details and the other is for Switch to Organization Membership. When I attempt to Select Change Contact Details. Nothing happens at all. No screen is shown. Nothing, whatsoever. Please advise what the problem might be thank you. I need to change my contact address.

Hello everyone, Our app was recently rejected under Guideline 5.0 – Legal (U.S. Sanctions Compliance). Apple review reported that the binary contains the following domain: https://lib.eshia.ir However, after extensive investigation: • The app does NOT connect to this domain • The app does NOT provide services to sanctioned regions • The domain does NOT exist in our source code, API calls, or UI • Network logs confirm no outgoing requests to this host We suspect the reference is coming from a bundled third-party dependency dataset (possibly a public suffix / domain validation / fraud detection list embedded in a framework). We already: Extracted IPA Scanned all source files Ran strings on the main binary Checked networking layer But we still cannot identify which framework contains this entry. Questions: Has anyone faced a sanctions rejection due to a domain inside a compiled SDK dataset? Is Apple expecting removal of the exact string from the binary even if unused? How do you typically identify the specific framework containing the string? Is it acceptable to strip the string from the binary or must the dependency be removed entirely? We are preparing a compliance fix and want to ensure the correct approach before resubmitting. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Our app has been rejected - requiring more information to proceed (2.1). The question asked relates to a query we had way back when we first launched the app to the app store, which at the time we amended and fixed to Apple's satisfaction and the app was launched. Since then, we have had a further 4 releases with no issue, not touching the area of the app in question throughout any of them. Until suddenly it got rejected for that same issue, again I stress nothing has changed in relation to the section of the app they are questioning. I've answered to this effect but received no reply. The reason for this release was that we have a critical payment bug issue in the previous release, which is literally all we changed from the previous version. We have a live app launch with over 300+ people attending on Saturday. We urgently need to get this through, and I seem unable to expedite the review (it doesn't give me the drop down and just says "There are no apps associated with this team.")

I am looking for some guidance regarding a significant delay in the review process for my app update. Platform: iOS Submission Date: February 10, 2026 Current Status: Waiting for Review It has now been 16 days, and the status has not progressed to "In Review." I have checked my App Store Connect "App Review" section, but there are no outstanding requests for information or messages from the review team. I have already attempted to contact the App Review team via the official "Contact Us" form but have only received generic automated responses. Is anyone else experiencing similar delays this month? Are there currently known backlogs, or should I consider canceling this release and re-submitting? Thank you for any insights.

When creating the marketing/promotional material for my app, I reviewed many popular apps to see what was permitted and accepted to the app store. I saw many apps like headlines and image content of text saying "Quit Porn" or similar. Upon submitting my app for review, it was later rejected and one of the reasons was having titles and texts in the marketing saying "Quit Porn". Why is this? (The app is an app to quit porn addiction)

I realize there are already several posts here about the unusually long review times for app submissions. There are some replies from Apple stating that they are looking into it or that specific issues have been resolved, but the problem persists and no one seems to understand what is actually happening or what can be done to improve the situation. I have been experiencing the same issue over the past six weeks. My app (submission ID: 75aed892-ee07-49e1-b62b-fdd54f1b04f8) was rejected because the reviewer stated that it needed “citations, such as links to resources.” I therefore added citations with functional links to online resources directly on the page where the claims were made, yet my app was rejected again with exactly the same copy-and-paste feedback. I then asked for clarification, but my question has remained unanswered for a week. There seems to be a fundamental problem in the App Store review process. For me, it has become a cumbersome issue, as the unexpectedly long response times are causing me to miss deadlines with my customers. We fix and resubmit our app within minutes, literally, but every time we have to wait weeks for the next reply from Apple. Should we pause submissions for a while and focus on other activities, and manage expectations with our customers accordingly? Or is this a temporary situation that is likely to improve soon? Any insights or tips would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I paid the £79 enrollment fee on 17th Feb and received both the receipt and payment confirmation email. However, there is no visible indication in my account that the enrollment is under review or in progress — the portal does not show any status update. Because of this lack of status information, I mistakenly initiated a second enrollment, assuming the first one had not gone through. I later withdrew the second application and immediately received a confirmation email for that withdrawal. However, I never received any confirmation that my original enrollment is being processed — only the payment receipt. This is currently blocking my app release, as I’m ready to publish and have already launched on the Play Store. Has anyone found a reliable way to get clarity on enrollment status or escalate this? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am trying to submit the first version of my app with auto-renewable subscriptions, but I am stuck in a loop. Both of my subscriptions (Yearly and Monthly) are stuck with the status "Developer Action Needed". Because of this status, they do not appear in the list of available In-App Purchases when I try to attach them to my app binary on the App Store Connect submission page. Here is what I have already done/checked: All metadata is filled out (Display Name, Description, Pricing). Review Information is complete (Screenshot and Review Notes are provided). My "Paid Applications" agreement in the Agreements, Tax, and Banking section is Active. I contacted Apple Developer Support by phone, but they were unable to resolve the issue and suggested I post here for help. Has anyone experienced this "limbo" before? How can I trigger the status to change to "Ready to Submit" so I can finally attach them to my build and send the app for review? (I have attached screenshots of my App Store Connect dashboard showing the issue). Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello, I would like to raise a concern regarding the review status of my apps. Both of my submissions have been in the “Waiting for Review” stage for an extended period of time. Additionally, I have sent multiple support emails and even submitted an expedited review request. Unfortunately, I have not received a single response to any of them. As a long-time Apple developer and someone who genuinely values the Apple ecosystem, I find this prolonged silence concerning. Extended waiting periods without any feedback create uncertainty and negatively impact the overall developer experience. I fully understand that review times can vary. However, the lack of communication is the primary issue here. Even a brief status update would be greatly appreciated. I sincerely hope the review process moves forward soon and that we can resolve the current “Waiting for Review” situation as quickly as possible. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Berkay

We have tried numerous times to register a developer account for a company that is one of our clients. Each time, the application has been denied for a different reason. The last time, they said that the website ‘does not load,’ which is untrue. The website belongs to a government entity and is fully accessible from our country and from around the world, as verified by Google Analytics. We do not know what is happening, but we would like to know if anyone has experienced something similar and how they resolved it. Thank you. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

More than 2 week's ago submitted 3 apps, and it's still stuck on "In Review" status with zero updates. No updates in statuses. No updates from email support Apple Team. We create some tickets on support tab, but no updates from Apple Team. Apple’s review process usually isn’t this slow, so I’m starting to wonder if something’s broken on their end… Would appreciate any insights or updates from others who’ve managed to get through this too!!! Can you please help us to resolve this issue?

Hello, I am writing to ask for assistance regarding two of my apps that have been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for an extended period. At the moment: App ID 6497716649 — Waiting for Review since Feb, 19 at 11:45 AM App ID 6743224713 — Waiting for Review since Feb, 15 at 10:26 PM There are no warnings, Resolution Center messages, or visible issues in App Store Connect. All Agreements, Tax, and Banking information are active and up to date. The builds were uploaded successfully, and no further action appears to be required on my side. Could you please help confirm: Whether there is any hidden blocker or account-related issue? Or if this delay is currently due to review queue processing times? If additional details are needed (bundle IDs, app category, sign-in requirements, encryption/export compliance, etc.), I will be happy to provide them immediately. Thank you very much for your time and support. Best regards,

I submitted an app update on February 09, 2026 and now it has been more than 2 weeks and the status is still in waiting for review. I have contacted apple support via Contact us in the App Store Connect but the status is still waiting for review. Any one here can help check what is going on?

Hello, I have a policy-related question regarding App Store Review for dating apps. As a development agency, we build apps based on client requirements. Recently, we received feedback from App Review stating that the dating app category is saturated and that the app should demonstrate unique features to avoid being considered spam or a duplicate of existing apps. In such cases, what is the recommended approach for developers working on client projects? If a client requests a standard dating app with common features (profiles, matching, chat, etc.), is it likely to be rejected under the spam/duplicate guideline (4.3)? Should developers proactively advise clients to include clearly differentiated features before submission, even if the app is functionally complete and complies with technical guidelines? Any clarification on how App Review evaluates dating apps for uniqueness under Guideline 4.3 would be very helpful. Thank you.

Hello, We submitted a v1 of our app in December, it took a day to review. The v1 was just a test version to make sure Apple were happy with it. We submitted v1.1 last Friday (20th) and are still sat in "Waiting for Review" - I can see a fair few other people are waiting, but does anyone know the reason why? Our launch is tied to national and trade press, which we're now going to have to push back at cost to the business. Any advice from anyone? App ID is 6753305041 Thanks

Hi, I did submit my app to review on 7th February, but it is still waiting for review. No status change, no feedback even if i created support ticket. I wonder if this is normal process or something is wrong on my submission. I see people are complining about waiting times but 20 days don't seem an ordinary. It is my first app and market submission.
