I've tried several times to post a reply to a message, but I got an error message instead, telling me to try again in a few minutes. I just found out that it did post my replies, without telling me. So now there's many duplicates of the same reply, one for each of my attempts. I'm using Firefox 144.0.2 (aarch64) on macOS 26.1 (25B78).

How to remove answered mark

Hello, forum admins. Thank you for your work in maintaining the forum in an active working condition. I have a question for you. Is it possible here, on the forum, not only to ask questions and get answers, but also to conduct technical discussions on current programming issues? For example, I would like to publish an article on design programming patterns and hear the opinions of other programmers working in this direction. I know that there are resources where we can publish articles. But here is the most big and active community of programmers using Apple technologies and it would be great to have the opportunity to publish articles here and organize thematic discussions. Best regards, John

I have been waiting for months to get the name of my account on the developer forum changed. I had initially set it up as Playbrainiacs to match my solely owned company name. However, some other people started using "Playbrainiac" without the s at the end, in their websites etc. causing confusion. They also refused to sell the url to me for a reasonable price. I applied for a Trademark with USTPO in the name Playbrainiacs but it was denied due to a company in Canada with a name called PlayBrainy. Given my small budget I decided to abandon it and forgo the needless lawyer costs. Consequently I changed my company name to "Gigi Sehgal LLC" and removed the name Playbrainiacs everywhere. BUT Apple developer forum support has STILL not updated the name here. This is becoming a marketing and legal liability for me. Anybody have insights in how to get this fixed soon? My App was approved however I turned encryption on and am now waiting on the classification category code for the same from the US Govt ( that has also been pending for over a month )

It has happenned for about a month, I don't remember exactly. It takes about 30 seconds to open any page. I looked into Chrome's network inspection and found it caused by an incorrect CSS link below. So every page load is waiting for this non-existent CSS file timeout before fully display. Except this issue I can still use this forum normally so assuming it's not my network connection/location issue. Can someone fix it?

It's so bad seeing this light mode... Can I ask Apple to give me an access to their frontend, so I can contribute to their repo with a dark mode feature? Not asking Apple to make the dark theme, but rather asking them let me do it.

There seems to be some kind of problem with the forum software incorrectly redacting certain words. It's even censoring Apple employees when they use the word "s i g n a l" in this post, which is now titled, "iOS Network ****** Strength" So, no, Apple employees are not complaining about iOS Network strength.

I’ve just tried to reply to a post and I get an “unauthorized” error page back. I’m logged in. I’m posting from an iPad, which is unusual, I normally use my Mac. This post is in part to see if I can post at all, or whether it was just that one reply that is. not working.

■Confirmation My post on the Apple Developer Forums is not published even though it have been reviewed. Does any work need to be done at the time of submission or after review in order to be published? ■Background of the question I posted one on the Apple Developer Forums yesterday. Immediately after posting, a message saying "It will be published if it passes the review" was displayed on the screen. This morning, that message disappeared, so I thought the post had been published, but my post was not displayed on the post list screen. I tried searching for the post title, but it doesn't appear for a while.

Hi, Developer Support answered my original question by email telling me that I should ask my question here, because I have reached the wrong Support team... Here is my question: I have asked for some help in the forum about SF Symbols, but at last the solution I have found by myself was much more general than the original title of my post suggested. Now, In order to better share my foundings and better help the community about the subject, I think that a more general title would be appropriate. It's about using Affinity Designer to create custom SF Symbols, where my original title only mentions my difficulties about creating such symbols. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/788403 Can I modify the title of my post by myself (if yes, how?) or should a Forum admin do that for me? Thank you in advance for your help, Marc

I’m encountering an issue when trying to start a macOS VM using Apple’s Virtualization framework in a sandboxed environment. When I create a standalone Xcode project, the VM launches successfully. However, when I integrate the same code into my existing project—where the VM is launched by a service started via launchd and running in a sandbox—it fails with the following error: Internal Virtualization Error: Failed to issue USB HCI sandbox extension To resolve this, I tried adding the com.apple.security.device.usb entitlement. But after doing that, the app started crashing with the following trace : Application Specific Signatures: SYSCALL_SET_USERLAND_PROFILE Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 libsystem_secinit.dylib 0x19a7141bc _libsecinit_appsandbox.cold.9 + 84 1 libsystem_secinit.dylib 0x19a713324 _libsecinit_appsandbox + 2080 2 libsystem_trace.dylib 0x18c2326cc _os_activity_initiate_impl + 64 3 libsystem_secinit.dylib 0x19a712ab0 _libsecinit_initializer + 80 4 libSystem.B.dylib 0x19a72a32c libSystem_initializer + 280 5 dyld 0x18c162efc invocation function for block in dyld4::Loader::findAndRunAllInitializers(dyld4::RuntimeState&) const + 444 6 dyld 0x18c19f864 invocation function for block in dyld3::MachOAnalyzer::forEachInitializer(Diagnostics&, dyld3::MachOAnalyzer::VMAddrConverter const&, void (unsigned int) block_pointer, void const*) const + 324 7 dyld 0x18c1bf58c invocation function for block in mach_o::Header::forEachSection(void (mach_o::Header::SectionInfo const&, bool&) block_pointer) const + 240 8 dyld 0x18c1bc318 mach_o::Header::forEachLoadCommand(void (load_command const*, bool&) block_pointer) const + 208 9 dyld 0x18c1bda58 mach_o::Header::forEachSection(void (mach_o::Header::SectionInfo const&, bool&) block_pointer) const + 124 10 dyld 0x18c19f334 dyld3::MachOAnalyzer::forEachInitializer(Diagnostics&, dyld3::MachOAnalyzer::VMAddrConverter const&, void (unsigned int) block_pointer, void const*) const + 516 11 dyld 0x18c162cb4 dyld4::Loader::findAndRunAllInitializers(dyld4::RuntimeState&) const + 176 12 dyld 0x18c16e530 dyld4::PrebuiltLoader::runInitializers(dyld4::RuntimeState&) const + 44 13 dyld 0x18c1848b0 dyld4::APIs::runAllInitializersForMain() + 88 14 dyld 0x18c147e00 dyld4::prepare(dyld4::APIs&, mach_o::Header const*) + 3092 15 dyld 0x18c1471d8 dyld4::start(dyld4::KernelArgs*, void*, void*)::$_0::operator()() const + 236 16 dyld 0x18c146b4c start + 6000 I suspect this might be due to the provisioning profile, which doesn’t seem to include the required entitlement. However, I haven’t found a way to explicitly add this entitlement to the provisioning profile. My questions are: How can I add com.apple.security.device.usb to the provisioning profile? Is there a way to confirm that adding this entitlement would resolve the issue? Are there recommended steps to debug and test Virtualization framework usage in a sandboxed environment (especially when launched as a service)? I also tried disabling SIP and AMFI, but the crash still occurs. Is there a better way to work around or test this in development? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone I was just wandering how could I change my user name on the developer forum and if this was event possible to do so ?

I tried to post a reply to a thread. It seems to be posted, but does not appear in the thread once sent…

Hello 👋 I would like change my username for several reason. Is there a way to change it ? I don’t want to create an another Apple account just for that. Have a nice day 😁

Is this place just for customers of the "developer program" to help each other, or is there any apple employees here able to help, with privileged access? Seems to me that not, but i prefer to ask anyway, it's not clear to me Because if there are some employees here, can you please do your job regards

There are at the moment a lot of spams for a bank phone number. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/769506 What is really surprising is to read App Store Connect Engineer answer, each time the same: We appreciate your interest in participating in the forums! These forums are for questions about developing software and accessories for Apple platforms. Your question seems related to a consumer feature and is better suited for the Apple Support Communities Is it an automatic answer (I cannot believe anyone who read the post did not notice it was a spam) ? If so, couldn't it simply detect it is a spam (Apple Intelligence could come to help) and delete the message (or the account) ? PS: it would also be a spam in Apple Support Communities PS2: I note the message has been deleted very rapidly.

Trying to post a question about packages on this forum, I keep cueing the message: 'This post contains sensitive language. Please revise it in order to continue.' There is nothing in my query that is remotely ‘sensitive’. I don’t know what to do next. Thanks in advance for any advice. Regards, Lar
