Stuck on "Purchase your membership" After Payment - Over 1 week
Hi everyone, I'm having an issue completing my Apple Developer Program enrollment. After submitting payment, I keep seeing the message: “Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now. Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.” It’s been over 1 week, and this message hasn’t changed. I’ve already made the purchase twice. I’ve tried: • Logging out and back into my Apple ID • Using different browsers • Waiting patiently as instructed (well beyond 48 hours) Still, I can't proceed or access my developer account. This is blocking my app release, and I haven’t been able to get a clear response from the portal. Has anyone else experienced this? How can I escalate this to get it resolved? Thanks in advance for any help.

Xcode Resets the Canvas (Preview) Window
Hello, In the recent update i installed of Mac and Xcode. After working out the initial problem of Simulator runtimes not found, I created a new project with new problem where When i switch to a different file, or Hide and Show Canvas again it just resets to its size (approx. 50%) of Editor. The current solution is to Pin it and it stays there with right size (No matter which file - with any extension - to switch from or to then). I tried deleting Derived Data folder, Rebooting Mac, Reintsalled Xcode (When Simulator Runtime not found problem) but the problem is there. I also tried trait property but fixedLayout do not work with iOS.

Support when publishing App Store App.
I am a new app developer and am entirely new to the process of developing and publishing an app. Right now I am in the midst of publishing my app and have bumped into an issue which app store connect isn't really helping to answer. I was wondering if I could get help here for these issues. Have a countdown feature that works based on device id. The device id and all others go through but the countdown feature doesn't show up. This is an issue that only seems to occur on the App Review's ipad air (5th gen) iPadOS 18.5. I have tested the app on my iphone 14,ipad mini and ipad pro with no issues. I'm not sure how I am supposed to solve an issue which I am unable to recreate. (I have told Apple Review to try reloading the page or resubmitting the dates required for the countdown. They claimed to have resubmitted the dates but have mentioned nothing about reloading the page.) Currently, I am trying to find a way to work the app on the ipad air but if i am unable to recreate the issue,I'm not sure how to solve it. please help!

xcode 16.3 now not selecting correct Signing Certificate with Automatically Manage Signing Selected
HI, I upgraded to macos 15.5 and xcode 16.3. Last year I was able to update one of my apps on the App Store without issues. Today, after a successful Testflight test, I now need to submit a new version of my app to the App Store for Distribution as the next version/build. However, when I configure a manual setting for the signing, I can select the correct choices. But when I click automatically manage signing, and choose the correct team, xcode put in the wrong signing certificate. It is choose a development one, and not the distribution one. I am concerned about this since I have read that when using the Archive tool, it choses the automatically manage signing by default. And that check box is selecting the "default" settings. I do not know where these default settings are being set, or how to fix this issue. I do not see any info in my searching up to this point. I hope someone can help. thank you, cc

Submitting a Swift Playgrounds app
Certain documentation seems to suggest I can submit a swift playground to the App Store. I am a paid $99 a year developer. In the submission process they ask for my team ID. I am not part of a team. I am an individual. However, my individual account has a team ID associated with it, but they don’t allow me to enter that number in the space provided. There is an * note saying some teams are not permitted to upload to the Apple store connect. How do I, a paid up developer, submit a swift playgrounds app to the App Store?.

Canvas Preview error: Could not find target description
Hi, I'm developing an iOS/WatchOS app and have an issue with Preview for WatchOS components. The error message is Could not find target description for “ContentView.swift” Preview for all other views in the iOS app work fine. Also, the app builds and runs fine on the watch simulator and a physical watch. Preview worked fine earlier today and I didn't exclude it in EXCLUDED_SOURCE_FILE_NAMES. Does anyone have an idea what causes this issue? Diagnostics

Will special entitlements like Screentime API remain valid when transferring an app?
Certain entitlements require special permission from Apple like DriverKit or Screentime API/Family controls. Those entitlements are tied to the bundle IDs of the app. If those entitlements have been granted for an app from developer A (personal account) and we transfer that app to developer B (organization account), including the bundle IDs, will those bundle IDs keep the entitlement? Or will we need to re-request from the developer account B? Any insights or experiences regarding this process would be greatly appreciated.

On-demand resource exporting?
I'm a newbie to on-demand resources and I feel like I'm missing something very obvious. I've successfully tagged and set up ODR in my Xcode project, but now I want to upload the assets to my own server so I can retrieve them from within the app, and I can't figure out how to export the files I need. I'm following the ODR Guide and I'm stuck at Step #4, after I've selected my archive in the Archives window it says to "Click the Export button", but this is what I see: As shown in the screenshot, there is no export button visible. I have tried different approaches, including distributing to appstore connect, and doing a local development release. The best I've been able to do is find a .assetpack folder inside the archive package through the finder, but uploading that, or the asset.car inside it, just gives me a "cannot parse response" error from the ODR loading code. I've verified I uploaded those to the correct URL. Can anyone walk me through how to save out the file(s) I need, in a form I can just upload to my server? Thanks, Pete

Our developer account is unable to renew through the https://developer.apple.com
Hello, Our developer account is unable to renew through the https://developer.apple.com/account website. The account will expire in 8 days. When clicking the "Renew Membership" button to proceed to the order details page, I filled in the required personal information and electronic invoice details as instructed. However, after clicking the "Continue to Payment Method" button, the website became unresponsive. By checking the console logs, I noticed a 500 error occurred on the website. Since we specifically require an electronic invoice, the Developer app cannot meet our needs. The account is nearing expiration. Could you please assist us by temporarily extending the account's expiration date? Your support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

How to trace/debug AU in Logic 11.1 on Arm?
Previously it was needed to attach XCode (16.3) to the AUHostingService. This does not show up in the list of attachable processes any more. Just attaching to Logic Pro skips all breakpoints. I am trying to debug output-configuration as Logic offers versions of our Plugin that employ mono outputs which we do not actually provide. Any hints how I can trace through the plug-ins init code??

How do we build Intel compatible binary in Sequoia Xcode?
This is recipe I used to do. Create new project. eg. Storyboard, Objective-C Select Project, Go to Build Settings > Architectures Change "Build Active Architecture Only" to "NO". Build... Go to build directory and check with "lipo" command > lipo -info Products/Debug/my-test.app/Contents/MacOS/my-test Architecture in the fat file: Products/Debug/my-test.app/Contents/MacOS/my-test are: x86_64 arm64 This has been working for Sonoma. However, I followed the same procedure in Sequoia, (Sequoia 15.5 Xcode 16.2), it's showing arm64 only. Architecture in the fat file: Products/Debug/my-test.app/Contents/MacOS/my-test are: arm64 Does anyone have any idea how to build Intel compatible binary in Sequoia dev environment?

-Xlinker -reproducible flag breaks debug symbols for static library which object files has same name
Hi! For example i have library with structure like ModuleA/test.cpp, ModuleB/test.cpp, then i build it like: #Building library clang++ -c ModuleA/test.cpp -o ModuleA/test.o clang++ -c ModuleB/test.cpp -o ModuleB/test.o libtool -o module.a ModuleA/test.o ModuleB/test.o #Now reproducing build steps from Xcode #Compiling... clang++ -c main.cpp -o main.o #Linking... clang++ -Xlinker -reproducible -o main main.o module.a Now if we launch lldb main, we cant set breakpoint in file ModuleB/test.cpp, only in ModuleA/test.cpp, if link without -Xlinker -reproducible, both breakpoints working as expected. Also dsymutil completely delete symbols for "duplicate" library if link with reproducible flag. It's just example, in real static library i can't change behavior of building process, and can't change names of producing object files. Xcode always set -Xlinker -reproducible flag, and i don't know how to disable it, and my debugging process partially broken. ENV: macos: 15.4.1 Xcode: 16.2

Is there a way to limit the MusicKit JWT tokens to just the Apple Music API using scopes?
Hi, I'm generating MusicKit JWT tokens on my backend side and using it on the client side to query the Apple Music API. One concern I have is accidentally over issuing the scope of this JWT, resulting in accidental access more services than intended like DeviceCheck or APNS. Other than using separate keys for MusicKit and other services, is there a way to limit the generated JWT to only the Apple Music API (https://api.music.apple.com/v1/*) using the JWT payload scope?

When I inherit from a class assigning SceneLocationView() sceneNode is nil
When I try to post a LocationAnnotations of a subclass respect to the one defining variable sceneLocationView, by way of: sceneLocationView.addLocationNodeWithConfirmedLocation(locationNode: bannerAnnotationLocation) When I enter in: public func addLocationNodeWithConfirmedLocation(locationNode: LocationNode) { if locationNode.location == nil || locationNode.locationConfirmed == false { return } updatePositionAndScaleOfLocationNode(locationNode: locationNode, initialSetup: true, animated: true) locationNodes.append(locationNode) print(sceneNode?.description ?? "nil") self.sceneNode?.addChildNode(locationNode) } I find sceneNode to nil, like if the effect of the renderer is lost when subclassing. I also tried to create a new variable in the subclass also assigning SceneLocationView(), but sceneNode remains nil. What to do to force it to assume a value?

How to test equality with a tolerance in Swift Testing
So I can see from the documentation that XCTAssertEqual(x, y) becomes #expect(x == y), but what about XCTAssertEqual(x, y, accuracy: 0.2)? Does something already exist or do we need to write a more involved statement to see if x is less than y plus z and more than y minus z?
