Overview

Our app has been in “Waiting for Review” for more than 60 hours, and the review has not started yet. We are working against a critical delivery deadline, as the app is required for committed customer deployment. We have already submitted an expedited review request, but the status has not changed. Normally, our previous submissions have moved to review much faster, so we are concerned about the extended waiting time. Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently, particularly after submitting an expedited review request? If so, how long did it take before the status changed to “In Review”? We would appreciate any guidance from the App Review team, as the delay is now putting our scheduled delivery at risk. Thank you.

Title: Apple Developer enrollment paid, but account now shows “Not Eligible” Hello, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program using my Apple Account. I completed the enrollment process and paid the membership fee using Apple Pay. The payment was successfully charged, and during the enrollment process I was told that I would receive an email shortly regarding the enrollment. However, I never received that email. When I now log in to my Apple Developer account, it says that my account is not eligible for the Apple Developer Program. The membership fee has already been charged, so I would like to understand what happened to my enrollment and whether the payment can be associated with my application. Could someone please advise me on what I should do next or how I can have the enrollment and payment reviewed? Thank you.

A Mac reboot fixed it for a few images, but then it went black again.

Instead of centering the content within the available cell space, the content is to the left of center in an iPhone Duo simulation. The content is fine in an iPhone Pro simulation.

I think the title says it all.

Hi, we have a bug report in Cholesky implementation of Accelerate on the LAPACK GitHub. See: https://github.com/Reference-LAPACK/lapack/issues/1408 This is to let you know. This might be a user error but I thought I'd let you know. I did not try out for myself. Julien.

How to get a refund for one of the payments ? Of course the apple invoice from the apple developer program sends me to apple consumer support. They then send me back to the apple developer program.

Hi everyone, I’m posting this to ask for advice and see if anyone has experienced a similar issue with the Apple Developer Program subscription. On July 9th, 2025, I registered for the Apple Developer Program via the Apple Developer app on my iPhone using my main iCloud account (Apple ID). The expected annual fee was 2,299,000 VND (~$99). However, I just checked my billing history and saw that I was charged twice for the same subscription, both under the same Apple ID / iCloud account, on the same day. Key Details: I only enrolled once. Both charges are labeled “Apple Developer Program”, exactly the same amount (2,299,000 ₫). The payments were made through the App Store, not via the website. My account on developer.apple.com/account still shows “Enroll Now” — meaning I haven't been activated yet. I have not received any welcome email either. My questions: Is it possible to request a refund for one of the charges, since both payments came from the same iCloud account and clearly refer to the same subscription? Has anyone else encountered this issue? How long did it take Apple to respond? Was your refund request approved? Should I wait for Apple to activate my account, or should I escalate the issue now? I’ve already submitted a refund request through https://reportaproblem.apple.com, but I’m posting here in case someone has more experience or insights. Thanks in advance!

I’m adding drag-and-drop support to my app for multitasking on iPhone Duo. My app supports text/note content. Currently, a user can move content from Apple Notes into my app using Share or Copy/Paste. ** Questions** Can a note from the Notes app be dragged directly into another app during multitasking, similar to dragging a photo? If so, what content type does Notes provide through the drag-and-drop session? For example, is the note exposed as plain text (public.plain-text / UTType.plainText), rich text, or another transferable type? My goal is for the user to drag a note from Notes into my app and have it behave essentially like Copy → Paste, without requiring the Share sheet. Thank you.

Hello App Review team and fellow developers, Our iOS game, Rivalis Academia Nexus (Apple ID: 6793594102), version 3.2.1, has been in "Waiting for Review" since September 16, 2026 and has not yet moved to "In Review." Our public launch is scheduled for September 26, 2026 and has already been announced to our community, so we are hoping the review can begin before then. For transparency: we removed earlier submissions of 3.2.1 (September 6, September 14, and early September 16) to make changes to the build. We now understand this reset our place in the queue, and we will keep the current submission as is. We have also submitted an expedited review request 102973603518. Could the App Review team please check whether anything is needed from our side, or whether anything is holding the submission up? We are happy to provide any additional information. Thank you for your time and help. Jhenell Meneses VIIBYTE Corporation

Hi everyone, I'm posting here because I honestly don't know where else to get answers anymore. I've been trying to release my first app for about 2–3 months now, and the review process has been, frankly, a disaster for us. As a first-time publisher I've genuinely tried to do everything by the book — I've read the guidelines carefully, prepared reviewer notes, a demo account, sign-in instructions, everything that's recommended. But here's the pattern I keep running into: Every submission sits in "Waiting for Review" for around two weeks — currently even longer. I know the official expectation is that most apps are reviewed much faster, but that has never once been our experience. When the review finally happens, it stops at the first issue found. Instead of reviewing the whole app once and giving me a complete list of everything that needs fixing, I get exactly one rejection point, I fix it, resubmit — and then wait another two weeks just to learn about the next issue. If I got all findings in one pass, I could address everything in a single build. This one-issue-per-cycle loop is what turns a fixable week of work into months. Right now I've been waiting 2.5 weeks for a metadata-only change (updated store screenshots). No binary change at all. I've contacted App Review support to ask for a status update and have received no response. For context: the same app has been live on Google Play for several weeks and is doing well there. We're not trying to sneak anything past review — we want to comply. We just need to actually be told what to fix, ideally all at once, and to not lose two-plus weeks per iteration. So my questions: Is there any way to get a complete list of issues in one review pass instead of one rejection per cycle? Is a 2+ week "Waiting for Review" time normal right now, or is there something about our account/app that could be causing this? Is there any effective way to get a status update when support doesn't reply? (Expedited review requests haven't helped either.) I understand App Review has to handle enormous volume, and I'm not looking to bash anyone — but as a small developer, this process has been demoralizing. Any advice from people who've been through this, or any pointers from Apple folks who read here, would be hugely appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Apple App Review Team, I’m looking for some assistance regarding my recent app submission. I submitted the app for App Store review two days ago 24 Sep 2026, and it has remained in “Waiting for Review” status since the submission. It has not moved to “In Review” yet. I also submitted an Expedited Review Request, but I have not received any response or update regarding that request. The app is still showing the same “Waiting for Review” status. Additionally, I have separately submitted an Unlisted App Distribution request for the app. I have not received any email or status update regarding that request either. I understand that App Review timelines can vary depending on submission volume. However, according to Apple’s App Review information, the majority of apps are reviewed within 24 hours. It has now been around two days, and I haven't received any update on either the app review or the expedited review request. I have checked App Store Connect and confirmed that there are no outstanding actions or missing information on my side. The required information, including App Privacy, Export Compliance, Content Rights, and Age Rating, has been completed. Could someone from the Apple App Review team please check whether there is any issue or pending action associated with my submission? It would also be helpful to know whether the Unlisted App Distribution request has been received successfully, as I haven't received any confirmation email or update for that request. App: Jaunt - Experience Navigation App ID: 6765958646 App submitted for review: 24 Sep,2026 Current status: Waiting for Review Expedited Review Request: Submitted on 24 Sep,2026 I would greatly appreciate it if someone could check the status of these requests and let me know if anything is required from my side. Thank you for your time and support.

In a macOS 27 app using DocumentGroup(editor:makeDocument:) with a type conforming to the new Document protocol, choosing File › Duplicate hangs the app permanently (0% CPU, spinning beach ball, must force quit). The main thread is blocked in URLPlatformDocument.read(from:ofType:) waiting on a dispatch semaphore. That synchronous NSDocument read path is reached from NSDocumentController.duplicateDocumentWithContentsOfURL(:copying:displayName:) → makeDocumentForURL(:withContentsOf:ofType:) → NSDocument.init(for:withContentsOf:ofType:). The work the semaphore waits for never runs: the app's makeDocument closure is never called. The SDK declares makeDocument and ReadableDocument.apply(snapshot:previous:) as @MainActor, so blocking the main thread while waiting for them can never complete. This reproduces with Apple's unmodified sample code project "Building a Document-Based App with SwiftUI" (no code or project changes; only a signing team set). Our own app, which uses a custom DocumentReader/DocumentWriter with Source/Destination == URL, hangs with the identical stack. Has anyone found any workaround? Filed Feedback FB24949862

Universal Clipboard from iPhone to Mac works after an iPhone restart, then silently stops after a while. Mac to iPhone and Mac to Mac keep working. Only restarting the iPhone fixes it; toggling Bluetooth or Handoff does not. What the Mac's unified log shows while broken (useractivityd + sharingd): Mac to Mac (working): Received Ad ... CopyPasteKey = 1, then [PBOARD] Received pboard available advertisement, then Requesting complete: 1713 bytes, error: (null). iPhone to Mac (broken): zero Received Ad and zero pboard advertisements from the iPhone, even while copying every few seconds with the phone next to the Mac. No errors. The Mac still recognises the iPhone as a paired own-account device (Paired yes, identity resolved, distance Immediate), so pairing and receiving are fine. So the iPhone appears to stop broadcasting Handoff advertisements entirely, and the stuck state survives Bluetooth and Handoff toggles.

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.

Has anyone notices persistent UI lockups when attempting to perform even the most basic tasks with Claude Code? I'm at a total loss here. I've noticed that the lockups tend to happen more often when the Claude Agent is asking me a question. I've tried removing stale data, disconnecting / reconnected the agent, force quit and restart. Nothing solves this.

Please can someone bump my support request which has been pending for 1 month. It is for DriverKit access. Thanks

This is what Apple's Destination Video Sample App looks like on iPhone Duo built with SDK 27.1 beta. Two things: Items that should not appear in the tab bar appear. There is no sidebar for iPhone Duo. So my problem is: is this a bug or a design on purpose? Will sidebarAdaptable gets a sidebar on iPhone Duo? Or at least, how to hide these things that should only appear in the sidebar? The sample app uses .defaultVisibility(, for:) and .hidden() but obviously none of these takes effect.

I've been working on an app. It uses iCloud syncing. 48 hours ago everything was working 100%. Make a change on the iPhone it immediately changed on the Mac. Change on the Mac, it immediately changed on the iPhone. I didn't work on it yesterday. I updated to iOS26.4 on the iPhone and 26.4 on the Mac yesterday instead. Today, I pull up the project again. I made NO changes to the code or settings. Make a change on the iPhone it immediately updates on the Mac. Make a change on the Mac, nothing happens on the iPhone. I've waited an hour, and the change never happens. If you leave the iPhone app, then return, it updates as it should. It appears that iCloud's silent notification is to being received by the iPhone. Anyone else having the issue? Is there something new with iOS 26.4 that needs to be adjusted to get this to work? Again, works flawlessly with the Mac, just not with the iPhone.

Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue with App Store Connect → App Store → iOS App Version → App Previews and Screenshots. I'm preparing my first iOS app submission and have uploaded screenshots for the iPhone 6.5" Display. I uploaded multiple screenshots successfully. Currently, 7 screenshots are uploaded successfully, but one additional screenshot became stuck in a processing state. The affected screenshot appears as a pink/white placeholder with a loading spinner and has remained in this state for more than 10–15 minutes. The problem is that I cannot remove the stuck screenshot. What I see The screenshot section shows approximately: iPhone 6.5" Display 7 of 10 Screenshots The problematic screenshot shows a loading/processing spinner There is no Delete (–) button Hovering over the screenshot does not show a delete option Delete All is also unavailable/greyed out while the screenshot is processing What I have already tried I have tried the following: Waited more than 10–15 minutes for processing to complete. Refreshed the App Store Connect page using Safari. Signed out of App Store Connect. Signed back in. Opened Media Manager / View All Sizes. Checked the iPhone 6.5" screenshot section in Media Manager. Tried hovering over the stuck screenshot to find the Delete (–) button. Unfortunately, the screenshot is still stuck and there is no delete option. Important detail The other screenshots are already uploaded successfully, so I don't want to use Delete All, as I don't want to remove the screenshots that are working correctly. The app version is still in: Prepare for Submission so the version should still be editable. Questions Has anyone experienced an App Store Connect screenshot getting permanently stuck in the processing/loading state? If so: Is there a way to force-remove the stuck screenshot? Is there a way to reset the screenshot/media processing state? Can Apple Support remove the stuck asset from the App Store Connect backend? Is there another Media Manager workflow that allows deleting an asset while it is still processing? Is there a recommended way to replace the stuck asset without deleting the other valid screenshots? I'm using Safari on macOS, and the issue persists even after signing out and signing back in. Any help or workaround would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
