Overview

Issue Summary We are seeing consistently high latency when calling DCAppAttestService.shared.attestKey(_:clientDataHash:). The call routinely takes 4–5 seconds in the development environment and 7–8 seconds in production. In contrast, other DeviceCheck operations execute very quickly on the same setup (e.g., DCDevice.generateToken takes ~100ms, and generateAssertion takes ~80ms). Environment Details Platform: iOS (reproduced on physical devices) Framework: DeviceCheck / App Attest Entitlements: com.apple.developer.devicecheck.appattest-environment set appropriately for each environment (development / production) Execution Flow: generateKey (or keychain lookup) $\rightarrow$ attestKey $\rightarrow$ generateAssertion Representative Timings (Development / Physical Device) ensureKey (keychain reuse): 5 ms generateDeviceToken: 91 ms attestKey (Apple API execution): 5,196 ms generateAssertion: 76 ms Total Wall Time: ~5,505 ms Steps to Reproduce On a physical iPhone, invoke DCAppAttestService.shared.generateKey() (or retrieve an existing keyId). Generate a client challenge hash (SHA256). Invoke attestKey(_:clientDataHash:completionHandler:) with the keyId and hash. Observe the multi-second delay before the completion handler returns the attestation statement. Questions & Guidance Requested Expected Baseline: Is 4–8 seconds for a successful attestKey call considered expected behavior for Apple’s attestation servers, or does this indicate an anomaly? Environment & Regional Latency: Are there known factors (e.g., server geographic routing, network handshakes, or environment differences) that cause attestKey to be noticeably slower in production compared to development? Mitigation / Best Practices: Since attestation is recommended once per key/device lifecycle upon key generation, are there specific architectural patterns Apple recommends to avoid blocking UI or onboarding flows during this high-latency step? Note: We can supply full sysdiagnose logs, device model/iOS version breakdowns, and code snippets if required.

I’m seeing a major change in reported memory usage (and eventual termination due to memory pressure) when running a Core ML workload built with Xcode 27 on iOS/iPadOS 27. The source code, model files, and MLModelConfiguration are unchanged. Only the Xcode/SDK version used to build the app differs. On the same iPad running iPadOS 27: Xcode 26 build: model loading and prediction complete normally, with a relatively small reported application footprint. Xcode 27 build: the application footprint grows continuously as models are loaded and can exceed 5 GB. The app is eventually terminated unless models are unloaded very aggressively or the increased-memory-limit entitlement is used. I also tested an Xcode 27 build on a device running iOS 26. Its reported peak was only around 300 MB. This suggests the change requires both an Xcode 27-linked binary and the iOS 27 runtime. The workload consists of several compiled Core ML models using .cpuAndNeuralEngine. Loading models sequentially instead of concurrently does not materially change the final footprint. Releasing each MLModel after use does reduce it, so this appears to be model or Neural Engine residency being charged to the application rather than a conventional heap leak. I noticed that the iOS 27 release notes mention Neural Engine memory now being attributed to the application instead of the system. However, I’m unclear about the practical consequences of that change. If the same Neural Engine resources were already physically resident on iOS 26, I would have expected them to contribute to system memory pressure even when they were not attributed directly to the application. Instead, the older configuration runs comfortably, while the Xcode 27/iOS 27 combination approaches or crosses the application’s per-process memory limit. A few additional observations: The problem is more likely to occur after Core ML has already compiled and specialized the models. Cached model loading is much faster and the footprint grows quickly. The first uncached run can survive model preparation because specialization spaces the loads farther apart. Under Instruments, the app often does not terminate, presumably because profiling slows the workload enough to change the peak. os_proc_available_memory() decreases in line with the newly reported footprint. With the increased-memory-limit entitlement, the workload completes, but the reported footprint still reaches several gigabytes. Has anyone else observed a large Core ML memory increase specifically with an Xcode 27 build running on iOS 27? In particular, I’m trying to understand: Is this purely a change in how existing Neural Engine memory is accounted for, or does the new runtime also retain or allocate more memory? Is the new accounting used for the application’s jetsam/per-process memory limit? Is this behavior intentionally gated by the linked SDK version? That would explain why an Xcode 26 build behaves differently on the same iOS 27 device. Should applications now treat the Neural Engine residency of every loaded MLModel as part of their process-memory budget and unload models accordingly? Are there recommended APIs or Core ML loading strategies for controlling this residency? Any confirmation that others are seeing the same Xcode 27/iOS 27 behavior—or clarification of the intended memory-accounting model—would be very helpful.

I would like to be able to use an SPM registry to access the various open source packages that my app uses. I want to do this so that I can use JFrog's Artifactory as a registry proxy, and manage my app's dependencies through it. I've found an announcement in 2019 that GitHub Package Registry was going to support Swift packages, but I have found no newer info. All the other things I've found which call themselves Swift package registries do not conform to SE-0292. Are there any public SPM registries? Will there be any in the near future?

On iOS/iPadOS 27 Beta 5 (24A5408d), I can consistently reproduce SwiftUI Button actions being ignored when the buttons are placed inside a horizontal ScrollView near the top of a view. This occurs on physical iPhone and iPad devices and on an iPhone 16 Simulator. Equivalent UI was reliable on the preceding beta. Minimal shape: struct ContentView: View { @State private var selection = "All" var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack(spacing: 0) { ScrollView(.horizontal, showsIndicators: false) { HStack { ForEach(["All", "Food", "Transport"], id: \.self) { item in Button(item) { selection = item } .padding() } } } Text("Selected: \(selection)") Button("Control below") { selection = "Control" } Spacer() } .navigationTitle("Touch Hit-Test Repro") .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline) } } } The standalone reproducer includes an XCUITest comparison. Results on the iOS 27 Beta 5 iPhone 16 Simulator: Horizontal ScrollView: fails; the chip is reported as hittable but tap() does not invoke its action. Remove .searchable: still fails. Remove the sheet: still fails. Remove only the horizontal ScrollView: passes. Tap a normal button below the strip: passes. Final result: 3 failed, 2 passed. This points to a Beta 5 hit-testing or gesture arbitration regression involving Button inside a horizontal ScrollView, rather than application state or a transparent overlay. Feedback filed: FB24307724 Has anyone found a framework-level workaround that preserves both native button semantics and horizontal scrolling?

Hello, I am facing a critical issue with my Apple Developer Account verification process where an automated timer suspended my account despite submitting all requested documents on day one. Timeline & Details: I received a request from Apple to upload address verification documents with a 14-day deadline. I uploaded all requested documents on the very first day. While waiting for the review process to be completed on Apple's end, the 14-day window expired. Consequently, the system automatically suspended my account, disabling certificate creation and blocking development/distribution. I have open support tickets, but have not received a response yet. Case ID: 102944887663 Since this is an automated timeout caused by review delay, could someone from the Apple team please help escalate this Case ID to the Enrollment / Account Verification team? Thank you very much for your help!

I set the flag isHidden to true and isEnabled to false, but seems both of them are not working on iOS 27 public beta. They were working fine on iOS 26 and priors. Will next version iOS 27 fix that or do i need to use another alternative like completely remove the uibarbuttonitem from the navigation tool bar?

Hey, does anyone know how long the enrolment process needs? enrollment ID is QARGL6A9YV - maybe someone can help, we wanna start as soon as possible :-)

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone from the Apple Developer support team or another developer who's been through this can help. Enrollment ID: 68UYPM637K Organization: CHARRY - INDUSTRIA E COMERCIO DE CONFECCOES LTDA Timeline so far: This enrollment was submitted by our company's owner/founder, who has the legal authority to bind the organization to agreements. We received a request for identity verification documents (government-issued photo ID, Articles of Association, and CNPJ card for the organization). We submitted all requested documents through the secure upload portal on July 29, 2026 (14 days ago). Checking developer.apple.com/account directly, the enrollment still shows as "being processed," with no further update or request since then. At this point we've submitted everything requested and haven't received any update in 14 days. This is delaying a planned app launch for our company. Has anyone else experienced a delay like this after submitting documents? Is there anything else we should try, or can someone from Apple please take a look at enrollment 68UYPM637K? Thank you in advance for any guidance.

After my account was converted to an organizational account, I tried to submit a new W-9, but I get an error: "The Type of Beneficial Owner does not match the individual or company status you previously provided." I had selected "Individual/Sole proprietor", based on my understanding that this is what should be selected on the W-9 for a single-member LLC. My initial guess as to what's causing the error, is my single-member LLC may have been miscategorized in the migration to an organization account so the intended option doesn't work. As per the official W-9 instructions, a single-member LLC should be categorized as an "Individual/sole proprietor or single-member LLC" on the form for tax purposes, but when I select "Individual/Sole Proprietor" on the "Type of Beneficiary Owner" dropdown on the App Store Connect front-end form for the W-9, which I assume corresponds with the aforementioned option on the true W-9 form that includes "single-member LLC", I get the aforementioned error. I was alternatively informed by Developer Support that the above error may be occurring because I haven't signed the latest Apple Program License Agreement, which I haven't been able to access, which they claimed is because I hadn't provided banking information for my account. So I added my business bank account but a week later the top of the Business section still says "Your banking updates are processing, and you should see the changes in 24 hours. You won't be able to make any additional updates until then." I contacted Apple Developer Support about all of the above and am still waiting for a response. While I wait, I'd like to ask here whether anyone has any ideas as to why the W-9 error is occuring or how long banking changes actually take to process, in case either of these is something I can resolve in the meantime.

I've already used the new Siri for a few weeks but now it disappeared. The Siri app still exists but cannot use. Currently the Siri is the original Apple Intelligence. I went to Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, Siri, and the Siri AI (Beta) is grey cannot choose. Anyone knows how to fix it?

Hi. I was trying to enroll apple developer program, but after uploading my ID I was told to contact apple developer support. I reached out the support and they told me my ID is not sufficient for some reason and I have to re-upload it. When i tried to do so it wouldn't allow me and telling me to contact apple support. I tried to arrange a call but after 1 day waiting on one is picking up. So basically I'm stuck in a loop that I have no idea what to do. The case ID: 20000134414907. If any apple staff seeing this please help. Thank you!

Hi Team, Requesting urgent attention for our Apple Developer Program Organization enrollment. Requested documents (ID, employment verification, business registration, DUNS number) were submitted on August 4, 2026 via the upload portal. Enrollment ID: 3CYZWM2J72 In this regards, I have raised an issue (Case ID: 20000134493406). Requesting your help in expediting our Apple Developer Program enrollment at the earliest as this delay is affecting our development and release timeline. Thank you very much for your understanding and support in helping us move this forward.

My app (Vanguard Properties, iOS, version 1.0) was submitted for review on Wednesday, August 5th. It's now been sitting in "Waiting for Review" status for 5 days with no movement to "In Review" and no communication from Apple. This is our first submission. No rejection, no metadata issues flagged — just no progress. I've seen other threads reporting similar delays this month, so wondering if this is a known backlog or if something is wrong with my specific submission. Has anyone had success getting unstuck from this, or is the best move just to wait it out / file an expedited review request? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I have a new organization-level Apple Developer account and I'm stuck on the Tax Forms step in App Store Connect (https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/business). The system is showing me U.S. Form W-9 as the only option, but in my case filling out a W-9 would be incorrect — and I'd appreciate guidance from anyone who has resolved this. My setup: I am a non-US individual (not a US citizen, not a US resident, never lived in the US). I am the sole owner of a single-member LLC registered in the US (set up via Firstbase specifically to distribute a mobile app). For US federal tax purposes, this LLC is a disregarded entity — it's not treated as a separate taxpayer from its owner. Why W-9 is not the correct form in my case: The IRS instructions for Form W-9 explicitly state: "If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN." Form W-9 also requires me to certify, under penalty of perjury, that I am a US person — which I am not. The LLC itself doesn't certify anything on a W-9 because it's disregarded; the IRS looks through to the beneficial owner, who in my case is a foreign individual. The correct form for me should be W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner — Individuals). What I've already tried: I opened two support cases 4 days ago and have not received a substantive response yet: Apple Developer Support — Case ID: 20000112974233 Ack Tax / Tax category settings — Team ID: 7YYWN3MYCY, Case ID: 19944616 My questions: Has anyone in the same situation (non-US individual, sole owner of a US single-member LLC) successfully switched the tax form from W-9 to W-8BEN inside App Store Connect? If so, how? Is there a specific path in the Business / Tax Forms section to declare the beneficial owner as a foreign individual that I might be missing? Is there an escalation channel beyond the standard support cases for tax-form issues that are blocking onboarding? Thanks in advance for any pointers.

I submitted my first public build (iOS 1.0) on July 30th for my game, Golfer's Pair-A-Dice (Apple ID: 6789222313) and it has been in "Waiting for Review" with no movement since then. I read that 24-48 hours is typical, but could take longer for first builds, but it seems like it hasn't even begun to be reviewed which is frustrating. Has anyone experienced similar wait times in the queue and had any success getting their app reviewed? I was hoping to launch on App Store and Google Play Store at same time and Google approved the app in 2 days so it has just been waiting for me to push, which I am waiting on Apple to approve so I can push both simultaneously.

My developer account is a US single-member LLC owned by a non-US individual. The LLC is a disregarded entity with a valid EIN. App Store Connect only shows me the W-9 workflow. But the IRS instructions for W-9 say: ▎ "If the owner of a disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9" So I legally cannot submit a W-9. I need the W-8BEN workflow enabled. Apple Finance told me all US legal entities must complete a W-9, then suggested I get an EIN (I have one) or change my address. When I sent the IRS guidance, they said their system can't make the change and forwarded it to the tax team. That was May 14 (Case-ID 19771345). Over 15 business days later: no reply, no timeline, and my paid agreement is still inactive. My business is on hold. Has anyone with a foreign-owned single-member US LLC gotten the W-8BEN workflow enabled? Is there any escalation path beyond iTSPayments and the Finance contact form? Both have gone quiet.
