Overview

I'm seeing IAPError(code: storekit_no_response, source: app_store, message: "StoreKit: Failed to get response from platform.") when calling queryProductDetails() (via Flutter's in_app_purchase/in_app_purchase_storekit plugin) for all 6 of my app's In-App Purchase products. This happens consistently on a real device (iOS 18.7.9), including after a full device restart. I've followed the entire TN3186 checklist: Paid Apps Agreement: Active Banking: Active Tax Forms: Active Bundle ID matches App Store Connect and Certificates/Identifiers/Profiles In-App Purchase capability is enabled on the App ID All 6 product identifiers match exactly and are attached to the app version under review Pricing is set for all territories on all products None of this resolves the error. This also caused an App Store review rejection citing "In-app purchase products... could not be found in the submitted binary" for the same reason. Bundle ID: com.playadda.playadda Product IDs affected: gems_pack_100, gems_pack_500, gems_pack_1200, premium_monthly, battle_pass_s1, starter_pack Has anyone found a resolution to this specific error beyond the standard TN3186 checklist?

My first App Store submission has been in "Waiting for Review" since August 6, 2026 and has not yet moved to "In Review." App: Rotation Pool Scorer Apple ID: 6780028774 Bundle ID: com.michaelmanuele.arscorer Platform: iOS (initial release, not an update) Version / build: 1.0.0 (30) Submitted: August 6, 2026 at 11:04 AM EDT Submission ID: 56d82316-f8f5-4125-b025-5c8f0bef41b2 Items in submission: iOS App 1.0.0 (30) and one non-consumable in-app purchase, both showing "Waiting for Review" Support case: 20000135569120 (emailed August 12, 2026; no reply yet) I understand review times vary and that Apple's published figures are averages rather than commitments. I have confirmed the following on my end before posting: No messages in Resolution Center, and no email from App Review. Paid Applications and Free Applications agreements both Active, and both predate the submission date. Banking, tax (U.S. Form W-9) and Digital Services Act information all Active and complete. App Review Information is filled in, including notes covering the in-app purchase. The app requires no account or login, so no demo credentials apply. Nothing else from this account is submitted or blocking. I have not requested an expedited review, as I do not believe this situation meets the stated criteria, and I have not removed the submission from review. Is there anything further needed from me, or is this simply queue time? Any confirmation of the submission's status would be appreciated.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I’m looking for guidance regarding an unusually long App Review process for my first iOS app, Zivoo. The overall review and resubmission process has now been ongoing for more than a month. During the previous reviews, we received feedback from App Review. In response, the application was completely redesigned and the latest version contains a substantially revised core experience. The latest build is: App: Zivoo Platform: iOS Version: 2.1.4 (34) Submitted: August 10, 2026 Current status: Waiting for Review The App Store description, screenshots, metadata, and Review Notes have also been fully updated to reflect the redesigned application. Detailed testing instructions have been provided for App Review. After more than a month of working through the review process, responding to feedback, redesigning the application, and preparing a new submission, the latest build is still waiting for review without any visible progress. I have also contacted App Review Status support to confirm whether any additional action is required from our side. Could someone from Apple please check whether this submission is progressing normally or whether it may require additional attention? I would also appreciate hearing from other developers who have experienced a similar delay after substantially redesigning an application following App Review feedback. Thank you for any guidance or assistance.

Hello everyone, I'm going through a very stressful situation at the moment. TL;DR: Apple blocked my developer account and won't let me renew it. I complied with every request. I sent every document on time. I did nothing wrong. Team ID: QHC9NAUWK3 My membership expires on August 24. If this isn't resolved soon, my apps will be removed from the App Store, and I will lose my entire income. I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program in August 2025. Since then, I've been dedicated to building apps for the App Store full-time. On June 30, 2026, I received an email from Apple requesting documents to confirm my identity. If I didn't provide them within two weeks, my developer account would be suspended. I provided all the required documents on July 1. I received an automated email confirming that the documents were received and that I should hear back within two days. I never did. Two weeks later, my developer account was suspended. No warnings, no emails, nothing. I opened a support case with Apple. After receiving no response for four days, I got on a call with an Apple advisor. They told me that Apple had never received my documents. Weird, considering I have a confirmation email from Apple proving that wasn't the case. The case was escalated to the Operations team. A week went by without a response. I sent a follow-up email. Five more days went by without a response. I sent another email explaining that my membership expires soon and that I can't renew it. I kept receiving the same template response: "This may take an undetermined amount of time. We can't let you renew your membership during this time. The case is with another team, and we can't do anything else." Apple broke my account and blocked me from renewing it. A few more emails went back and forth without any progress. On August 12, I had another call with a senior Apple advisor. They looked over my case and mentioned that the situation was strange and that the review was taking unusually long. They acknowledged that I had provided everything and that this wasn't my fault. They then "re-escalated" the case to the Operations team. I am quite desperate at the moment. I don't know what else to do. It sucks to lose everything I dedicated the past year of my life to building. I found several other people on the forums dealing with similar problems. More than 50,000 people have read my story on X, and many have shown their support. Apple's own timelines no longer make sense. If they can't verify someone's documents within two weeks, it should at least not disable that person's account.

I'm using the Leaks instrument in Xcode 26.2 to investigate a memory leak. After attaching Instruments to target process and starting a recording, it detected 29 leaks. However, I'm unable to view the allocation call stacks because each leak shows "Call stack limit reached." May I know if anyone has a solution for this? I’ve tried “Hide System Libraries,” “Invert Call Tree,” and “Flatten Recursion,” but unfortunately, none of them seem to work.

Our app crashes when compiled with the iOS 27 beta 3 SDK and run as an iOS app on Mac, on both macOS 26 and macOS 27, as soon as a UISearchBar receives focus. The crash is due to this exception: *** Assertion failure in BOOL _screenBasedFocusUnsupported(void)(), UIScreen.m:3.725 Accessing the focus system through UIScreen is no longer supported.

I’m working on an app that deals with a list of text items, so I started with the document app template in Xcode. I have the app basically doing what I want it to do, but I want to be a good ecosystem citizen, so I’d like to conform to app intents. I think that app intents will able to do what I want - accepting text and passing it back out - but I can’t figure out how to access the document outside of my content view and associated subviews. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you, Don Carlile

Estou com problemas para inserir um compilador a um grupo de tester externo. Ela da um erro que tenho que renovar mas não esta vencido. Before you can use TestFlight to distribute beta builds of your app, you must renew your Apple Developer Program membership.

TN3135 describes the exception that lets a watchOS app use low-level networking while it holds an active audio session. I have that working, and the app functions — but the network path is withdrawn and restored on a strikingly regular cycle, and I would like to know whether that is expected behaviour rather than something I am doing wrong. Setup Apple Watch Series 10 (Watch7,9), watchOS 26.5. Reproduced on a Series 6 (Watch6,2). UIBackgroundModes: [audio]; AVAudioSession category .playAndRecord, mode .spokenAudio; activated with the async activate(options:completionHandler:). NWConnection with NWProtocolWebSocket to a WebSocket relay over TLS. The app streams 16 kHz mono PCM continuously while transmitting and holds the socket open otherwise. Symptom NWPathMonitor reports .unsatisfied, then .satisfied about two seconds later, over and over. Measured with the iPhone powered off, so the watch was on its own Wi-Fi: Uptime between drops Outage 36.4 s 2.1 s 36.7 s 1.9 s 36.9 s 2.1 s The regularity is what prompts the question — uptime varies by ±0.3 s and the outage is consistently 2.0 s. That reads as a timeout expiring rather than radio behaviour. What I have ruled out Not the network or the server. A browser client on the same relay, same TLS, same wire protocol, holds a WebSocket indefinitely. Not the interface. Identical cadence over the companion ipsec1 tunnel with the iPhone present, and over the watch's own en0 with the iPhone powered off. Pinning requiredInterfaceType = .wifi while the iPhone is reachable fails outright — the path offers only ipsec1. Not audio-session interruption. I observe interruptionNotification, routeChangeNotification, mediaServicesWereResetNotification and silenceSecondaryAudioHintNotification. None fire at a drop. At the moment the path goes .unsatisfied, the engine is running and the player node is actively playing. Not session idleness. Playing continuous silence for the whole session, rather than only while reconnecting, made no difference — still 36.4 s. The control that surprised me To test whether this affects any long-lived watch socket or only audio-unlocked ones, I built a second app with no AVAudioSession at all, no audio background mode, holding a URLSessionWebSocketTask and kept alive by a WKExtendedRuntimeSession so screen sleep was not a factor. It never connected. NWPathMonitor reported .unsatisfied once and never changed, across a 30 s run, and every request failed with "The Internet connection appears to be offline." I had expected URLSession to be permitted regardless. Questions Does the audio-session networking exception in TN3135 have a defined lifetime, and is a periodic revoke/re-grant cycle expected? If so, is there a supported way to hold it continuously — or is the correct design simply to expect the interruption and reconnect through it? Is it expected that an app with no audio session gets no network path at all on watchOS, including via URLSession, even in the foreground with an extended runtime session?

My app has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” status since August 6th, over a week now. I’ve submitted multiple expedited review requests and haven’t received any response or update on any of them. This delay is holding up my launch and affecting my ability to plan around it. I understand expedited review isn’t guaranteed, but getting no reply at all, even a decline, makes it hard to know whether the request was seen or if something else is holding up the review. Could someone look into my case and let me know what’s going on? Best regards, App Name: Ratiō - AI Calorie Tracker Apple ID: 6790632661

Transaction.finish() doesn't clear a transaction on iOS 27 beta 5 — worked correctly through beta 4 — every repeat purchase after the first replays the same transaction with no confirmation sheet and no charge. StoreKit.Transaction.finish() does not clear a transaction on iOS 27 beta 5. The transaction remains in Transaction.unfinished indefinitely, and every subsequent Product.purchase() call for that product returns the same stale transaction instead of starting a new purchase — with no confirmation sheet, no charge, and no way for the app to tell it apart from a genuine purchase. Because the replayed result is .success carrying a VerificationResult that verifies normally, an app has no supported signal that nothing was bought. The only distinguishing traits are that the id and purchaseDate are unchanged and the call returns in ~10ms instead of making a server round-trip. Consequence: a consumable product can be purchased exactly once per device. Every later attempt silently no-ops while appearing to succeed. Steps to Reproduce On a device running iOS 27 beta 5, sign in to a newly created Sandbox Apple Account (Settings → Apps → App Store → Sandbox Account) with no prior purchase history. Install and launch a development build of an app offering a consumable IAP. Confirm Transaction.unfinished is empty. Purchase the consumable. The confirmation sheet appears and the purchase completes normally. await transaction.finish() on the returned transaction. Enumerate Transaction.unfinished again. Purchase the same consumable a second time. Expected Results Step 6: Transaction.unfinished is empty — the transaction was finished. Step 7: a confirmation sheet appears and a new transaction is created, with a new id and a current purchaseDate. Actual Results Step 6: the just-finished transaction is still listed in Transaction.unfinished. Step 7: no confirmation sheet appears. purchase() returns .success in ~0.01s carrying the same transaction — identical id and identical purchaseDate — and nothing is charged. This repeats indefinitely. Re-fetching the transaction from Transaction.unfinished and calling finish() on that instance does not clear it either, so there is no app-side way to drain the queue. Diagnostic Log Virgin sandbox account, empty queue, three consecutive taps on one product: unfinished before tip.small: [] purchase() returned after 18.10s tip.small: id=2000001221113013 purchaseDate=2026-08-13 22:36:26 +0000 --- await transaction.finish() --- unfinished after finishing 2000001221113013: [small#2000001221113013] unfinished before tip.small: [small#2000001221113013] purchase() returned after 0.01s tip.small: id=2000001221113013 purchaseDate=2026-08-13 22:36:26 +0000 unfinished before tip.small: [small#2000001221113013] purchase() returned after 0.01s tip.small: id=2000001221113013 purchaseDate=2026-08-13 22:36:26 +0000 The first call is a genuine purchase (18s round-trip, sheet shown). The transaction survives its own finish(). Calls two and three are replays of it. Notes Not reproducible against a local .storekit configuration in the Simulator, which always presents the confirmation sheet. Requires Apple's sandbox. Also reproduces on a TestFlight build billed to a real Apple ID, where it is worse: TestFlight purchase history cannot be reset, so the affected products stay permanently stuck for that account. It survives deleting and reinstalling the app, and a device reboot. Possibly the same underlying issue as the unanswered report at https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/808648 (iOS 26/18, Nov 2025). Configuration Device: iPhone 16 Pro Max OS: iOS 27 beta 5 Products: consumable in-app purchases API: StoreKit 2 (Product.purchase(), Transaction.finish(), Transaction.unfinished)

Hi all, we are building a custom controller for ATDECC, which is a layer 2 protocol standardized by IEEE in 1722.1. Our controller can work on multiple network interfaces at the same time . It uses the interface's MAC address to identify, on which interface a certain AVB / ATDECC device was discovered. It then sends replies for this device only to this interface. This controller worked fine up to and including macOS 26, but when running the same code on macOS 27, we cannot get the MAC addresses for the local interfaces anymore, but we receive 02:00:00:00:00:00 for each of them. This seems to indicate that the MAC address was redacted (looks like the same MAC address, that is being returned since iOS 11 due to privacy reason). Is this a bug or is macOS going to redact the MAC addresses also in the final release? If MAC addresses are being redacted, would it help to request access to the new entitlement called com.apple.developer.networking.topology-observation? I attached a little code snippet, that returns actual MAC addresses on macOS 26, but redacted ones on macOS 27. Build with clang++ -std=c++23 -o ifprobe ifprobe.cpp and then run it with ./ifprobe. ifprobe.cpp

Following up on TN3135 and the resolution in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/773362 — that thread solved establishing a low-level connection on watchOS (the asynchronous AVAudioSession.activate(options:completionHandler:) instead of the synchronous setActive()). This question is about a connection staying established, which I could not find discussed anywhere. Environment: Apple Watch, watchOS 26.6 (23U67). Audio app, WKBackgroundModes = ["self-care"]. Real device, TestFlight build, not the simulator. What works Opening an NWConnection WebSocket to my own server is reliable — 8 attempts out of 8 reached .ready in 0.28–0.98 s, and an echo frame round-tripped in 27–89 ms. Interestingly, in my measurements it opens under BOTH activation variants: the asynchronous activate(options:completionHandler:) AND the synchronous setActive(true). The two are within ~0.2 s of each other. I mention it only because the thread above concluded the synchronous one is insufficient; on 26.6 I cannot reproduce that difference for establishment. What fails The connection goes quiet after roughly half a minute, and an NWPathMonitor running alongside it shows why: the path transitions to .unsatisfied. Four runs: +34.0 s (cellular) +34.6 s (cellular) +36.0 s (Wi-Fi) +34.3 s (companion link only — availableInterfaces ["other", "other"]) The server sends a heartbeat frame every 5 s and closes the socket on a schedule, so I can tell "the peer closed" from "we stopped receiving". The client receives beats 1–6 (5 s … 30 s) and then nothing; the scheduled close never arrives. What I ruled out Server side. The same client construction run on macOS against the same endpoint receives all 8 heartbeats and the scheduled close at 45.1 s. Both audio-session activation variants — no difference, as above. Network type — cellular, Wi-Fi and companion-link-only all drop at ~35 s. The app being suspended. The app keeps logging densely throughout, and in the last run it held a WKExtendedRuntimeSession (delegate reported extendedRuntimeSessionDidStart) and was actively playing audio through AVAudioEngine from the first second — i.e. the audio-streaming condition TN3135 describes — for the entire window. The path dropped anyway, at +34.3 s. An idle socket. Server traffic arrives every 5 s until the drop. The comparison that puzzles me The same app, on the same watch, the same afternoon, relays the same realtime audio session over plain HTTPS (URLSession) instead — and that runs for 64 s continuously without a stall, including straight through a WatchConnectivity "reachability settled: unreachable" transition. So a high-level URLSession request stream survives a period in which a low-level NWConnection's path is reported unsatisfied. That is consistent with the note in thread 773362 that "on watchOS every session is kinda like a background session, where the actual work is done out of process" — but it leaves me unsure what the intended behaviour is. Questions Is a ~35 s path lifetime the expected behaviour for low-level networking on watchOS, or does it indicate something wrong on my side? Does the TN3135 audio-streaming exception cover only the establishment of a low-level connection, or is it also supposed to keep the path available for the duration of the audio streaming? If it is supposed to persist: is there something beyond an active audio session, flowing audio and a WKExtendedRuntimeSession that an app must do to keep the path alive? If ~35 s is the expected ceiling, is a WebSocket a supported transport for a multi-minute conversational audio session on watchOS at all — or is relaying over URLSession the intended approach despite the guidance to prefer Network framework? Happy to file a bug with a sysdiagnose and a reduced sample project if that is more useful — please say the word and I will attach the numbers above.

I'm stuck on what looks like a backend / account-level TestFlight issue and want to ask if anyone has seen the same pattern. Symptoms (reproduced across three consecutive builds) App Store Connect ingests and processes each build successfully; it shows as "Testing" in TestFlight with no compliance warnings. Internal TestFlight install fails instantly on every tester device with: ▎ "The requested app is not available or does not exist." Device console (itunesstored) at install time: FAILED: TFBundleInstallation serverFailureReason="Error Downloading Install Data" userFailureReason="Requested app not available or does not exist" buildGroup=(null) phase=Failed previousPhaseDescription=ProcessingInstallInitiateResponse serverCode 200 Submitting the same build for external Beta App Review returns: 422 ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE code: BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING buildGroup=(null) for builds that visibly show as "Testing", plus a persistent BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING, suggests the beta-contract / build-group record for the app is missing or corrupted on the backend. Already verified clean on the developer side Distribution certificate and provisioning profile valid; entitlements match the binary; codesign --verify --deep --strict passes. Free and Paid Apps Agreements both Active; no pending tasks (Banking, Tax complete). App Information, Pricing & Availability, Age Rating, Content Rights, Test Information all complete; build page shows no warnings. Reproduced with multiple testers on multiple iOS 17+ devices, in a fresh internal testing group, after device-side cleanup (sign-out / reinstall TestFlight). Re-uploading a fresh build does not clear it — so it is not bound to a specific binary. Questions Has anyone seen Error Downloading Install Data + buildGroup=(null) + BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING together on a single app? How did you resolve it? 2. Why does ProcessingInstallInitiateResponse return serverCode 200 while still failing with "app not available", for a build that shows as "Testing"? 3. Is there a documented path to request that engineering regenerate a corrupted beta-contract / build-group record, beyond a standard support case? Any pointers appreciated — happy to share device logs / sysdiagnose if useful.

Hello, I am unable to use TestFlight for any app (existing or new), while production uploads work normally. All TestFlight actions fail with: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING There are no pending agreements in App Store Connect. This is an older account that previously used TestFlight successfully. This appears to be a missing or detached TestFlight Beta contract on Apple’s backend. Could this be manually reattached or re-provisioned? This is time-sensitive, as I need a TestFlight external testers link to submit an app for an upcoming hackathon. Apple Support case ID (for reference): 102817552619 Thank you.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I submitted my first iOS app for App Review, but it has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for 5 days, and the review has not started yet. I also contacted Apple Developer Support and opened a support ticket because I wanted to understand if there was an issue with my submission, but I have not received a response yet. I would like to ask other developers if anyone is currently experiencing the same issue. App Information App Name: AksiyonSoft Tools -Calculator Bundle ID: com.aksiyonsoft.calculator Platform: iOS Status: Waiting for Review Submitted: August 9, 2026 Waiting time: 5 days This is our first iOS app submission, so I would especially appreciate hearing from developers who have recently experienced a similar situation. Is there currently a delay in the App Review queue, or could there be an issue with my submission that is preventing the review from starting? Has anyone else been waiting for 5 days or longer for their app to enter review recently? Any information or recent experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Just submitted my app on 8/9 and also echoing what others have posted. My issue isn't the wait time, but simply the lack of communication and status. Is this normal? I'm a newer iOS developer and really have nothing to compare it to. Just wild to me to pay for a service and not really have any way to communicate with support. I've escalated via a ticket, which was simply a form, and I also called and waited on hold for more than 2.5 hours before giving up. Any guidance or help would be appreciated. Should I resubmit? I'd hate to lose my place in the queue, but I don't know if I did anything wrong.

Is this typical? I submitted my app for review last Tuesday. When I search for how long App Review takes, the general answer is 24-48 hours. I have received no feedback or anything. I had support call me via "Contact Us" for app review and sat on hold for over 3 hours yesterday only to apparently get transferred to regular Apple support after 5:15pm ET. They didn't know what App Review was and then the line hung up after 15 minutes of being on hold while they figured it out. Currently I'm sitting at 3 hours again on hold for the same. This is a free app with no ads or default permissions which I have to pay them to publish. Is this how Apple operates?

I just upgraded MacOS to Tahoe 26.6.1, and upgraded XCode too. Then Xcode crashes on every launch and is completely unusable.

I have an individual Developer Program account (Team ID 9KS979K27N) with an incorrect legal entity record, and no way to fix it myself. The record shows my name in a shortened form, "Balder Adelgaard", and a former address in Denmark. My actual legal name is Balder Berg Adelgaard — as it appears on my passport, my Hellenic Police residence registration, and my Greek tax filings — and I now live in Chania, Greece. In the Edit Legal Entity dialog, the Name and Country or Region fields are both read-only, so I cannot correct either. The consequences: DSA trader verification failed on 9 August. Developer Support told me the likely causes are insufficient documentation or mismatched information. My identity documents cannot match a record showing a different name and a different country. Until this clears, I can't distribute in the EU. The W-8BEN and U.S. Certificate of Foreign Status pull Country of Incorporation and Permanent Residence from this record, read-only. Submitting them would certify the wrong country of tax residence, and they can't be amended afterwards. So I can't complete tax forms, can't add banking, and Paid Apps stays in Pending User Info. I opened case 20000126301700 on 2 August requesting the address correction. Twelve days, no reply. The related DSA case is 20000126290870. Is there a route to get a legal entity record corrected when the fields are locked? Has anyone had this resolved, and through which channel?
