Account pending
Hi everyone, I purchased an Apple Developer Program membership about three days ago. The payment has already been successfully charged to my bank account, but my account is still showing the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership.” I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information since completing the purchase. I’m curious if others have experienced a similar delay recently, and how long it took before your developer account was fully activated. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My app is still waiting for review
The first review was on May 5th and got rejection with 2.1 (b) and 3.1.2(c). I took my time to localize screenshots, app metadata, and the subscription pricing and re-submitted for review (also replied to the early rejection) on May 10th. It's been more than 48 hours, but the status is still 'waiting for review'. I wonder if it's normal or if I should reply to the rejection again? Thanks!

Guideline 5.2.1 - Legal - Intellectual Property
Good Day All, I am new to the forum so not sure if I am posting this in the correct category. I have 2 other apps that are running successfully on appstore so I am not "fresh" when it comes to creating apps. :) but I have hit a wall with the one I am currently busy with and need some help to figure out the next step please. Currently I have a app that is fully built and working perfect in testflight. However, the app connects to specifically Garmin watches to get specific triggers. When you pair the app with your watch it looks for the GarminConnect app on your phone for the details and then links it. I have the companion Garmin app for the watch on the Garmin store and that is approved. All good that also works. But when I send the app for review so I can release it I get the following response from the team : Guideline 5.2.1 - Legal - Intellectual Property Issue Description The app includes content or features from Garmin, or is marketed to control external hardware from Garmin, without the necessary authorization. The inclusion of third-party content within the app, whether retrieved from the internet by the app or embedded in the app, is subject to the terms of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. The app and its contents should not infringe upon the rights of another party. In the event the app infringes another party’s rights, you are responsible for any liability to Apple because of a claim. Next Steps To resolve this issue, please attach documentary evidence in the App Review Information section in App Store Connect. Once we have reviewed your documentation and confirmed its validity, we will proceed with the review of the app. Alternatively, please remove the third-party content from the app and its metadata. I have sent them : Hi There My app communicates with Garmin watches exclusively through the official Garmin Connect IQ Companion App SDK. I am a registered Garmin developer (developer name: removed) and have accepted the Garmin Connect IQ Developer Agreement, which explicitly licenses the Companion App API for third-party iOS developers. My Garmin watch app is approved and published on the Garmin Connect IQ Store. I have attached: (1) the Garmin Connect IQ Developer Agreement, (2) my Garmin Developer Dashboard confirming registration, and (3) my app listing on the CIQ Store showing Approved status. I dont really know what else to add to confirm that it has been approved from Garmin's side to approve the app in IOS. I have also now attached a screenshot of the app in the GarminApp store showing that it links with IOS (Dashboard3.png) and that was approved on Garmin side. Thanks in advance Message Attachments: Garmin CONNECT IQ Agreement.pdfDownload Dashboard1.pngDownload Dashboard2.pngDownload Dashboard3.pngDownload They responded basically with the same message which I then sent them the details again and now we are stuck in this loop of them asking for that and I am sending what I have which is clearly not what they are looking for. Can anyone please assist by telling me what I need to send to them to get this resolved or what I can do? Thank you!!

I Recently Dealt With a Problematic Customer, and It’s Really Stressful
I was recently contacted by someone I would consider a problematic customer, and honestly, it has been really stressful. The situation hasn’t completely ended yet, so it’s still on my mind. I can’t share the details, but since this is my first time dealing with something like this, I feel pretty anxious and overwhelmed. I’m also worried that this person might spread negative rumors or say bad things about my app. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Activity Monitor crashes on launch with SIGKILL "Code Signature Invalid" — survives full macOS reinstall, dyld_process_snapshot_get_shared_cache failed
Hi all — looking for insight on a stubborn Activity Monitor crash on macOS 26.4.1 (25E253) that has me stumped after a full system reinstall. Symptoms Activity Monitor crashes immediately on every launch, regardless of method (Spotlight, Launchpad, Finder, open command). The icon appears in the Dock for ~28ms and vanishes. No error dialog. Reproducible 100%. Crash signature

Numbers spreadsheet won't open
Hi. I’d appreciate any advice regarding the issue described below. Steps to reproduce the problem: Access iCloud.com from Safari on my Mac mini using my account. Create and save a Numbers spreadsheet. Access iCloud.com from Safari on an iPhone SE (2nd generation) using the same Apple account. Tap the file icon of the saved Numbers spreadsheet. Safari navigates to “about:blank” and displays an error message. Error message: **This spreadsheet is unavailable. The owner stopped sharing, or you do not have permission to open this spreadsheet. ** I used to be able to view these files, but now none of the spreadsheets will open. Environment: Intel Mac mini (2018) macOS Sequoia 15.7.7 Safari 26.3 iPhone SE (2020) iOS 26.5 Beta 4 What I’ve tried: Suspecting a Safari issue, I installed Google Chrome on the iPhone and tried accessing iCloud.com, but encountered the same error. Installed the Numbers app on the iPhone and accessed the files on iCloud — they open successfully. Created and saved a new file using the Numbers app on the iPhone, then tried accessing it via Safari and Chrome through iCloud — the same error occurs. Additional information: Other files on iCloud (such as Notes) can be opened across devices without any issues. Installing the Numbers app on the iPhone allows me to view the files, but since I only need to view them (not edit or create new ones), I’d prefer not to install it if possible. This might be related to participating in the beta program (I’ve already submitted a report via Feedback Assistant). Would downgrading be advisable?

There’s screen shots and information that I want to share with these engineers yet have not found a way to connect , are these files even being attached?

Regression: iPhone SE 2 Smart Battery Case data pass-through broken for wired CarPlay since iOS 26
Environment: • Device: iPhone SE (2nd Generation) • OS: iOS 26 (Internal Build/Public Release • Accessory: Official Apple Smart Battery Case Vehicle: Wired CarPlay compatible head unit Issue Description: After upgrading to iOS 26, the official Smart Battery Case no longer supports data pass-through for wired CarPlay on the iPhone SE 2. While the case still charges the phone normally, the vehicle fails to recognize the device as a CarPlay source when connected via the case's Lightning/USB-C port. Troubleshooting performed: Direct Connection: Connecting the iPhone directly to the car (without the case) works perfectly. CarPlay launches immediately. Cross-Version Check: This setup was fully functional on iOS 18. The issue started immediately after the iOS 26 update. Isolation: Tested with multiple certified cables and different vehicles; the failure only occurs when the Smart Battery Case is in the chain. Analysis: This appears to be a driver or protocol regression in iOS 26 specifically affecting the data bridge of the Smart Battery Case on the SE 2 platform. Request: Is anyone else seeing this on older Touch ID devices? I have captured sysdiagnose logs during a failed connection attempt and am looking for the best way to escalate this to the engineering team for a fix in the next point release.

iMessage login loop after Tahoe 26.5 beta update
iMessage Authentication Loop on macOS Tahoe 26.5 Beta Issue Description: iMessage is stuck in a persistent login/authentication loop after updating to macOS Tahoe 26.5 Beta. The app repeatedly prompts for Apple ID and password. After entering credentials, it briefly attempts to sign in before returning to the login prompt or showing an "unknown error." This issue is isolated to the MacBook Air (M3); iMessage continues to work correctly on iPhone, iPad, and Mac mini. Related Forum Thread: Several other users are reporting identical symptoms here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256256620 Troubleshooting Steps Taken (All Failed): Standard Maintenance: Restarted Messages app, rebooted the MacBook Air, and verified Date/Time settings. Credential Management: Changed Apple ID password and attempted sign-in with new credentials. Manual Keychain Cleanup: Attempted to delete iMessage and com.apple.idms entries via Keychain Access UI (entries were persistent and could not be deleted). Terminal-Based Force Deletion: Executed the following commands to target specific registration tokens: security delete-generic-password -s "com.apple.facetime: registrationV1" security delete-generic-password -s "com.apple.imessage: registrationV1" Cache & Identity Purge: Cleared local authentication state and app caches: rm -rf ~/Library/IdentityServices/* rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Messages rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.imessage Full Keychain Reset ("Nuclear Option"): Renamed the Keychains folder to force macOS to create a brand-new database: mv ~/Library/Keychains ~/Library/Keychains-old Followed by an immediate system restart. Current Status: Despite a completely fresh Keychain and cleared caches, the "unknown error" and login loop persist, suggesting a regression in the authentication subsystem of build 26.5.
