2nd time this happened within weeks. Caution to all developers. Used to be reliable. Don't rely on it any more.

Since updating to tvoS 26.1/2 YouTube audio breaks when playing videos at anything other than 1x speed.
At 1.25x or higher, the audio is "static-y" and distorted almost immediately.
Strangely, AirPods work fine, it only happens with other audio outputs.
Anyone else experiencing this, or have a fix? tvOS: 26.2 (23J582)
YouTube app: 4.51.08

Hi everyone,
I’m running into repeated App Store rejections under Guideline 5.2.1 (Ownership) and would appreciate advice from anyone who’s navigated this successfully.
Context:
• The app is called FitQuest: AI Health Coach
• FitQuest is a product/brand name, not a legal entity
• The legal owner and operator is PandeyInvestment LLC
• The Apple Developer account is under PandeyInvestment LLC
• There are no third-party brand affiliations or white-label use
• The app was built using a third-party app builder (web-to-native wrapper)
What I’ve already provided to App Review:
• Official LLC formation documents
• A signed ownership & authorization letter explicitly stating:
• FitQuest is a product owned by PandeyInvestment LLC
• PandeyInvestment LLC is solely responsible for the app, services, and data
• Clear explanations in Resolution Center replies
Despite this, Apple continues to respond that the app “appears to be created from an app generation service and not directly submitted by the owner/provider of the business or service,” and asks again whether FitQuest is a business entity.
My questions:
1. Is Apple expecting the app name to exactly match the legal entity name in cases like this?
2. Has anyone resolved a similar issue without creating a separate DBA or renaming the app to the LLC name?
3. Are there specific metadata fields (Seller Name, Copyright, Support URL, etc.) that reviewers rely on more heavily for ownership verification?
4. Is there additional documentation Apple typically accepts beyond LLC registration + signed authorization?
Any guidance or firsthand experience would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I changed my device when purchasing the Apple Developer Program and am unable to make further purchases. How can I lodge a complaint?
Hello, I am a developer from Russia, I recently paid for a subscription to apple developer. 8,990.00 Russian rubles were debited from me. The subscription is displayed in my active subscriptions from my apple account. It shows in the application that the enrollment through the application is not working. The payment receipt was sent to the post office when, how much, and for how long everything about the subscription is. Tell me what are my next steps, how much should I reap?
I have filed 27 bug reports against macOS using Feedback Assistant and none have had any sort of follow-up.
I'm wondering if anyone at Apple looks at these reports?
A few of these involve accessibility features that are not working (for example: speak announcements doesn't work -- and yes, my feedback is much more detailed than "doesn't work"). I would have thought issues with accessibility would be a high priority for Apple to fix quickly.
Another report is that Grapher uses black text on dark gray making it very difficult to see the formula you enter. This should be a one-line code fix.
These two, and 25 other bug reports have seemingly been ignored. Several of these reports indicate more than 10 similar reports, yet go unfixed. Leading me back to my opening question -- does anyone at Apple read these reports?
I'd like to think I'm helping Apple to deliver a more perfect product but I feel like I'm wasting my time writing detailed bug reports. Is there another way to bring these to Apple's attention?

Hello,
Our messaging app was rejected with guidelines 4.0 and 4.2.3 for using wallet authentication.
Rejection reasons:
"App uses web browser to sign in"
we use deep links to native wallet apps, but they fallback to browser when wallets aren't installed
"Requires users to download external apps" (Phantom/Solflare/Backpack wallets)
Our situation:
Wallet authentication is identity verification users sign with their private key
There's no username/password alternative - the wallet address IS the identity
Similar Web3 apps are approved on the App Store. Or like similar to whatsapp using phone number as the authentication to start with.
What's the recommended implementation for wallet-based auth on iOS?
Should we just provide a demo mode for reviewers like they suggested for?
If so, how do we handle features requiring a real wallet. And can we remove that on later versions of the app?
Is there a way to satisfy these guidelines while maintaining wallet authentication?
Thank you.

I have an app with a small but devoted following. It has not been upgraded since 2022 and has been working very well. On iOS 26 it crashes almost at startup.
After hooking up to Xcode and running I get this message in the console:
objc[64686]: Class PSSegment is implemented in both /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PolarisGraph.framework/PolarisGraph (0x291ed9f78) and /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/08486FCF-548A-467C-8BA3-D722734463FC/HikeTracker.app/HikeTracker.debug.dylib (0x101d309e8). This may cause spurious casting failures and mysterious crashes. One of the duplicates must be removed or renamed.
PSSegment is the name of an entity in my Core Data managed object model. If I refactor it to P_Segment the app starts.
PolarisGraph means nothing to me.
The "PS" stands for Persistent Store, but in this case it seems that PolarisGraph is PSing in my sandbox. How can this happen?
I'll attach the longer message that comes with the crash.

I am not receiving any replies back for a request for entitlements I made a month ago, cant get a status or a response on any post, email, support ticket I create, what can I do?

I am frustrated with the slow response from the support. I kept paying 4 times for my developer account from 31/12 (3 days ago) and my bank card actually got charged €396. It was because when I logged in, I kept seeing the button Purchase now, although I paid previously. I thought the payment did not come through.
Does anyone face the same issue before? What is the best way to reach the support people? Thanks.

I am developing a Cloud Sharing app, but I have been unable to find a solution to this problem.
CKContainer.requestApplicationPermission(.userDiscoverability) was deprecated in iOS17.
However, without it I find that none of the following APIs return a user's RecordID:
CKContainer.default().shareParticipants(forEmailAddresses: [emailAddress])
CKContainer.default().userIdentity(forEmailAddress: emailAddress) (deprecated)
CKContainer.default().discoverUserIdentity(withEmailAddress: emailAddress) (deprecated)
CKFetchShareParticipantsOperation(userIdentityLookupInfos: lookupInfo )
For users who have given permission in response to CKContainer.requestApplicationPermission(.userDiscoverability), these APIs return the user's RecordID in the response's CKUserIdentity.
But for user's who have not been asked for permission, their CKUserIdentity does not contain their user RecordID.
After iOS17, how can we ensure that the response's CKUserUserIdentity contains the user's RecordID ?
I use the user's RecordID as part of my lookup (by email address) for other users, to confirm if they have already registered with the App. If not, I need to send them an invitation using the UICloudSharingController.
If they have already registered, I can set up a share with them without the 'UICloudSharingController'.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Everyone,
I want to transfer my iPhone data from iOS 26 to iOS 18 version and I'm unable to do it. Can you help me to do it so I can keep my data. Is there any possibility to do this or any kind of trick?
Thank You!
I’m concerned because my iCloud account was recently migrated to AWS (Amazon Web Service) against my will, and now it seems.like people are rummaging through my files, photos, and mail, When I try to contact Apple Support, I get bumped to a spoofed site. Calling the hotline is the same, I get a Siri operator with platitudes and gaslighting but no action. I have run sysdiagnose and it looks really sketchy.
Can anyone help?
It seems I was able to previously download a Disk Image (.dmg) file to install macOS High Sierra. However, I'm now having trouble finding where to download the resource. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting reports that my application is creating hidden files with names starting with .f and having 9 or 10 numbers after that. For example:
.f678501541
.f1858565508
AFAIK I don't create any files with names like that!
So how to determine a) if I am creating those files and b) exactly where in my code this is happening?
Unless of course someone knows what creates files like this...
Thanks, David

各位大神有没有人知道苹果手机玩法隐藏技巧?
Hello All,
I've been finally able to finish my so called Quantumsort implementation, which is basically only slightly modified Radix Sort at the basis, but utilizes the somewhat newish Apple Metal SIMD commands heavily. Or rather rather renders the threadgroup shared memory void altogether with those SIMD sharing options available.
The sorting itself works "well enough" for my needs here on these Github shared main.swift and sort.metal files already, and the question relates more on it that - can someone spot would it be possible to get rid of the "sorted_temp" array memory too and use one "sorted" list only at all times..?
Here's the related repository and copilots I prefer you and you and you more for haha tho : https://guthib.com/roger-more-fi/quantumsort
Cheers, make it to the perfection those good last ones of '25 'aights Apple soldiers!
