This is not exactly a feedback about the forums but I couldn't find a better location to ask this question. The macos release notes are hosted at developer.apple.com. For example, the macos 26.4 release note is here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-26_4-release-notes. Would it be possible to include the release date in those release notes? Right now, it's hard to locate that information. It would also be useful to even include the sw_vers of that particular release in those release notes. For example: ProductName: macOS ProductVersion: 26.4 BuildVersion: 25E246 Having the sw_vers and the release date in the first few lines of the release note would be handy. The reason I went looking for the release date was because the corresponding sources for macos 26.4 hasn't yet been listed at https://opensource.apple.com/releases/. It usually takes a few days for that to happen, so I wanted to see how long it has been since 26.4 was released.

Hi, I am Nilay Ranjan I created an App named EDUcopedia. I created this app on Android Studio aligned with Firebase. But now that I have to publish it on App Store. I am unable to convert the codes to Xcode. Please respond!

J’ai juste une question! Est ce qu'il pourrais y avoir un genre de rabais pour le temps des fêtes ou quelque chose comme ça? (Suggestion pour le programme/à ajouter peut être).

I'm using Xcode cloud to create testflight builds, and I noticed that a few weeks ago these builds no longer contain any "What to Test" info. We include a TestFlight/WhatToTest.de-DE.txt file in our repo, and that file seems to be picked up correctly, at least the logs say Saving “What to test” notes Found notes for de-DE Any ideas of what I should be looking into or change?

iPhone, iPad, MacOS Build numbers are all the same but each actual platform reports the actual version.

I also Pressed "Automatically Release this version" Does this mean the app is already up? if yes, Is there a way to find the app "page" in the store, directly from my app store connect (developer console) page? I roamed through the different sections and could not find a way to go directly to my app store page from my app development pages (App information, app review, history, trust and safety pages, growth and marketing pages, monetization pages, nominations) non seemed to have a direct link to my released page?

Good afternoon, all! I was wondering if there was a timeline for when the App Store and/or TestFlight will drop support for Swift 5? I know Swift 6 was released last year and historically App Store requires a certain SDK minimum for upload. I was wondering if any SDK update was on the docket that would effectively force applications onto Swift 6? Looking at past releases, I had estimated mid to late 2026, but I wanted to confirm? Swift 4 Released September 2017 Became the default SDK in Xcode 9 Strongly "encouraged" via the iOS 12 SDK in late 2018 Essentially "required" by early 2019 Swift 5 Released March 2019 Became the default SDK in Xcode 10.2 Strongly "encouraged" via the iOS 12.1 SDK in early 2019 Essentially "required" by late 2020 Swift 6 Released June 2024 Became the default SDK in Xcode 16 Strongly "encouraged" via the iOS 18 SDK in April 2025 **Essentially "required" by mide-late 2026 ?? ** Thank you in advance!

When you update XCode it updates the sdk version, but do changes in the sdk take effect for apps running in a lower iOS version or only the corresponding iOS version or higher? For instance, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-18_1-release-notes Do changes listed in the notes only happen for apps that are running on iOS 18.1 devices or on any device with the app compiled against the 18.1 sdk version? Am I the only person who finds the docs totally unclear on this?

Hi, Please let me know iOS 18 beta have deprecated/ stopped support for which of the following: proximityUUID CLBeaconRegion (instancetype)initWithProximityUUID:(NSUUID *)proximityUUID identifier:(NSString *)identifier (void)startRangingBeaconsInRegion:(CLBeaconRegion *)region -startRangingBeaconsSatisfyingConstraint: , is this also deprecated in iOS 18 beta, since: CLBeaconIdentityConstraint is deprecated right? CLBeaconIdentityCondition is not supported in XCode 15.3. What should I do for this? Should I install XCode 16 beta? locationManager:didRangeBeacons:satisfyingConstraint: can we use it in iOS 18 beta, since, CLBeaconIdentityConstraint is deprecated? what is alternative startMonitoring(for:) is also deprecated in iOS 18 beta right? Also, can someone specify or create a documentation on how beaconing shall be monitored, ranged and locationManager delegate methods pertaining to beaconing to be used in iOS 18 beta?

I'm curious about the new app icon options (any, dark, tinted) for Progressive Web Apps in iOS / iPadOS 18. Has this feature been implemented yet? If so, could someone point me to the specific documentation? I've searched the Apple Developer Forums, Google, and Reddit but couldn't find any relevant information. Thanks!

In Xcode16Beta4, it contains Predictive Code Completion, and Predictive Code Completion is also with other SDKs in the page opened by Xcode for the first time. Waiting for download. However, I want to know: 1. What is Predictive Code Completion? 2. I didn't download Predictive Code Completion on the SDK download page when I first opened Xcode. Where should I download it later?

Hello everyone. Is iPadOS18’s Eye-tracking feautre available on iPad Pro 12.9” 2018? If not, where can I find the compatible devices where Eye-tracking available?

Hi Team, If we release our app for Phase release after 2 days we have paused the app. What will happen if we not resume the app for more than 30 days?

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-17_4-release-notes At the end of each release note there is a number, eg 121566625). What are these numbers?

My app was recently approved and I have been trying to watch metrics so I an adjust my marketing campaign. When I go to the Apple Developer analytics dashboard there isn't anything there and its been almost a week since releasing my pre-order. The only message I see is "Not enough Data: Data is displayed when a certain number of data points become available." When will this data become available and how many data points are needed until I can begin tracking? On the Google Play Console I was able to see when I had as little as 2 pre-registered users.

Após realizar o arquivamento, recebo um push com essa mensagem. Nenhum erro durante todo o processo, nenhum log. A Compilação não fica disponvel para gerar a nova versão

As per the https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files/describing_data_use_in_privacy_manifests Mentions that Third-party SDKs need to provide their own privacy manifest files. What about the SDKs which are in-house? Meaning if the application contains the SDKs which are developer within the same company as the application would be treated as Third-party SDKs?

I recently upgraded to Xcode 15 from Xcode 14, and now my app only runs iOS17. When I try running on iOS 15/16, I get a very generic memory Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x0) crash when my app attempts to launch on the simulator. Also, if I upload a build from my device, the crash happens on all real devices not running iOS17. My teammate is still running Xcode 14 and is able to build on iOS 15/16 devices (minimum is 15 for our app), and can push builds that work for all users. Is this a known issue, or am I missing something simple? The fact that upgrading Xcode versions is the only variable has made it really difficult to diagnose. The only thing I have tried so far is the suggested fix for a known issue in the Xcode 15 release notes (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-15-release-notes#Known-Issues). However, this doesn't seem likely to be the same issue as my minimum deployment target is 15.0. (I also am not sure I implemented that 'fix' correctly...) Any help or direction would be much appreciated, thanks!

There seems to be a bug in macOS 14 (14-14.1.2) that causes VPN connections to regularly disconnect after 24 or 48 minutes, causing a short network interrupt for 1-2 seconds. Prior macOS versions up to 13 do not have the issue. Release notes do not mention any breaking changes for 14, or 14.1. The bug seems to be on the macOS side somewhere in the rekey/cert/proposal process. My vpn servers run libreswan 4.12 and are set to match the default security params from apple dev docs ikesecurityassociationparameters and childsecurityassociationparameters:. How can I modify a VPN Profile (e.g. mobileconfig) to workaround the bug, or is there some new security param requirement in macos 14? macOS logs Console logs from macOS 14.1.2 process = NEIKEv2Provider show rekey failures. After each disconnect though, the connection successfully reconnects. 10:18 NEIKEv2Provider [CREATE_CHILD_SA R resp2 8A7ADF123EF55B23-DCF9CDCBGFBDE2A1] Rekey child received notify error Error Domain=NEIKEv2ProtocolErrorDomain Code=14 "NoProposalChosen" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=NoProposalChosen} 10:18 NEIKEv2Provider Failed to process Create Child SA packet 10:18 NEIKEv2Provider <NEIKEv2Provider: Primary Tunnel (ifIndex 15)>: : Failed to set interface availability for ipsec0 10:18 NEIKEv2Provider Bootstrapping; external subsystem UIKit_PKSubsystem refused setup 10:18 NEIKEv2Provider cannot open file at line 46986 of [554764a6e7] 10:18 NEIKEv2Provider os_unix.c:46986: (2) open(/private/var/db/DetachedSignatures) - No such file or directory 10:18 NEIKEv2Provider [IKE_SA_INIT R resp0 BBA5FCDAD5CCD32C-09141E6F23975F7C] Initiator init received notify error Error Domain=NEIKEv2ProtocolErrorDomain Code=17 "InvalidKEPayload" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=InvalidKEPayload} 10:18 NEIKEv2Provider <NEIKEv2Provider: Primary Tunnel (ifIndex 15)>: : Failed to set interface availability for ipsec0 10:18 NEIKEv2Provider <NEIKEv2Provider: Primary Tunnel (ifIndex 15)>: : Failed to set interface availability for ipsec0 VPN Server Logs (running Libreswan latest v4.12) In recreating the issue, I noticed a difference on first connection when the client sets OnDemandEnabled=0 vs OnDemandEnabled=1.
