Hi everyone, I’m considering integrating External Payments into my iOS app. I’ve done some research, but I’m finding it difficult to pinpoint the exact commission rates for different regions. For those of you who have already implemented external payment links: Could you share what the actual fees paid to Apple look like in your specific Geos (e.g., US, EU, or others)? Does the total cost—including Apple's commission and the payment processor's fee (like Stripe)—end up being significantly lower than the standard 15-30% IAP?

Has anyone gotten Postgres to run in a sandboxed app? I am compiling Postgres 18 myself from source and have tried to patch it so it doesn't use sysv (shmem) but it apparently has all kinds of invocations of sysv and once it's sandboxed has issues, e.g.: 2026-02-24 18:26:05.014 EST [4384] FATAL: semctl(65596, 16, SETVAL, 536) failed: Operation not permitted Does anyone know of a way to either make the sandbox relax or make Postgres compatible with sandboxing? I have tried passing flags to initdb to use POSIX semaphores but it always wants to use sysv so I'm finding myself super deep in the weeds of the Postgres source code.

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?

Is there any way to get the "uninstall" status to run code while uninstalling an app?

Hi everyone, I’m having issues registering my own Apple Developer accounts in both China and the US. For my China account, my Face ID is already in use by accounts registered under two companies, which prevents me from creating a new developer account. For my US account, my device SSID and handheld ID documents were used, and Apple Support advised that I can only register using a US identity. I’ve already contacted Apple Support, but the problem remains unresolved. I’m looking for shared experiences or advice on how to handle this situation. Thank you in advance!

Hi all Our App was rejected for being suspected Spam, copied from another entiy's App witht he following narrative: "We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences. " We explained this on the form, but the case is not being progressed, jsut ignored. Is there a good way forward to resolve this that is good for Apple as well. Here is our response in the Form: Dear App Review, Thank you for flagging this point and we fully understand and appreciate your concern for protection of our App from being put to unauthorised use. This App and has been developed solely for us and on our instruction and under our direction. As you have noticed, our developer submitted our App to your App Store years ago and it was available for several years from this account. Then some months ago we decided with the developer to move it to our own account. And as you also noticed, some small changes to simplify the flow were made intentionally before we submitted our app. Would you prefer that we resubmitted the App through the previous account of Osiel Lima, our valued friend and developer. Alternatively, we look forward to your positive advice on how to move forward. Thank you for your support and co-operation.

With 26.4 beta 2 announce the time is no longer using the voice I have selected. I am using Australian English Siri 2, however it will speak using American English Samantha. I also have the system voice set the Australian English Siri 2 which is never honored. In fact, with that setting, Speak announcement never happens. Speak announcements has been broken since 26.0. There are several other issues with text to speach. Basically, TTS works for the most part if you use the default Samantha voice. Various things break when using other voices. FB22035712 -- "Announce the time not using selected voice" FB22035743 -- "Speak announcements only works if Samantha voice is selected." I will note that FB20933185 -- "Siri voices break System voice UI" appears fixed in 26.4 beta 2, in that the UI is no longer broken with Siri voices, but now Siri voices aren't honored.

I'm looking for help and/or someone who wants to join a project. I'm hooking up an RC, semi autonomous car to an app. I need help to get telemetry data, UI and DB to appear and work on the app.

Hi, After updating my iPhone from iOS 26 to iOS 26.3, I’ve been experiencing issues with the Voice Isolation feature. Whenever I enable Voice Isolation while using the microphone in apps, my voice becomes unclear. The people I’m speaking with say they can’t hear me clearly and have difficulty understanding what I’m saying. I never had this problem before updating to iOS 26. To try to fix the issue, I have: Restarted my device Updated from iOS 26 to iOS 26.3 Unfortunately, the problem still persists. For comparison, I also have an iPad Air 3 running iPadOS 18.5, and Voice Isolation works perfectly fine on that device. Please advise on how this issue can be resolved. Thank you.

I just installed IOS 26.4 Beta 1 and on my 2023 Ram i get the Edit Pages option on the bottom. This happened when I first installed IOS 26 and the solution was to go to Display settings in CarPlay and turn off the Smart Zoom. After this latest install the Edit Pages is back and I no longer have the Smart Zoom option to turn off

Yesterday I enrolled to the developer program and I getting and error trying to connect to the App Store Connect “This app is for developer…”. How much time takes the registration?

My phone says ‘Slow Charger’ even if it’s Apple original power adaptor and cable. It‘s new and i think it’s a software issue. If it is then please fix it. If it’s not i’ll try fixing it myself. And a few things that i don’t like about iOS 26.4 are: Overheating, Safari Bugs, Apple Music UI not working. Please also try to fix them.

Hi, ios 26.4 beta iPhone 13 Pro Max After I installed this beta - my lost an opportunity of fas charge. I tried different cables and blocks - nothing. Now it says - "slow charge" and to charge from 20% to 80% I need more than 2 hours.

I’m new to the forums, and I hope this is the right place to ask this question. Yesterday, a platform called Rork released a new feature in their web‑based app‑building tool. According to their announcement and user comments on X/Twitter, people with no coding experience are now able to generate fully native iOS apps written in Swift and distribute them across Apple’s ecosystem—reportedly without using any Apple hardware. Some users who already have access to Rork Max claim they were able to create multiple apps within a few hours and successfully submit them to the App Store. If these claims are accurate, this seems like a significant shift in how native iOS apps can be created and published. I’m curious whether anyone here has insight into: How this aligns with Apple’s existing App Store Review Guidelines Whether generating Swift apps without Apple hardware is technically feasible or compliant Any potential implications for app quality, security, or developer identity requirements I’d appreciate any clarification or perspective from more experienced developers. Also, I’m also concerned that this could lead to a surge of very low‑quality apps from people primarily chasing quick revenue. If tools like this make it possible to publish apps with minimal effort or understanding of iOS development, it may have implications for overall App Store quality and review workload. I’m interested in hearing how Apple and experienced developers view this possibility, and whether existing guidelines are equipped to handle a large influx of rapidly generated apps.

I’m close to finishing my App build (using Rork.com) and need advice consulting on adding BLE Bluetooth functionality to connect to Cycling Sensors, speed cadence, watts, smart indoor cycling trainers, heart rate straps etc. My questions are as a complete beginner: 1: How much time is needed to set up BLE connections in Expo.dev using EAS build? 2: Where can I find a trustworthy tech to implement this? and on a second aspect for the app. I need someone to help set up REVENUECAT, for annual subscriptions. I’ve partly set it up for testing. How much time is needed here? many thanks for your time in advance for any help / assistance you’re able to provide. cherrs ben

Hi there, I’ve been having ongoing issues with my Apple Watch. Last week I updated it to watchOS 26.3. The next day it accidentally ran out of battery, and since then it has been randomly restarting, showing an overheating message. I suspected it might be related to the update, so I researched online and on the official Apple forums. People recommended resetting the Apple Watch and unpairing it from my iPhone. I did both procedures, but the problem persists, even when the watch is in a cool environment. I’ve been using it normally, but it still restarts multiple times a day. Yesterday I even updated to the public beta of watchOS 26.4 hoping it would fix the issue, but it didn’t help — the random restarting continues. Today I also unpaired and paired it again with my iPhone, and the problem is still happening. This has been very disruptive and frustrating. I’m following up on my previous message because I’ve found additional diagnostic information that may help identify the cause of the issue. I accessed the Apple Watch analytics logs and noticed that the restarts appear to be associated with a system process crash, specifically the ActivityMonitorApp (com.apple.ActivityMonitorApp). The log shows an EXC_RESOURCE exception with subtype MEMORY and the message “(Limit 35 MB) Crossed High Water Mark.” Based on this, it seems the system process exceeded its memory limit and was terminated by the system. This happens shortly before the watch displays the overheating icon and restarts. This makes me suspect the overheating warning may not be caused by actual temperature, but instead may be related to a software or system issue introduced after the watchOS update. For reference, the watch is currently running: watchOS 26.4 (build 23T5209m) I’d also like to share that I’ve performed some additional troubleshooting steps to help isolate the issue. Based on the crash logs referencing the ActivityMonitorApp, I removed the Activity rings complication from my main watch face and disabled Activity app notifications as well. I’ll be monitoring the watch closely today to see if this resolves the issue. If the restarts happen again, I will also try to capture additional logs to provide you with more information.

one cause is having logged-in using a Yubikey PIN. Search works fine when booted without the key inserted and std login is used.
