When I go to the leadership section, I have 8 currently active leaderboards. When I select "manage scores and players" I see 9 leaderboards, from which 5 are legacy and my 4 new ones are not listed (also it comes in a very old design). New players will score in the 4 new leaderboards but I need to remove the top score which was the developer score, to give them a chance, but the new leaderboards are not accessible.

Hello, I am facing a critical issue where the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement is not being applied to my app extensions, despite the main app ID being approved. Main App ID: com.hayashikento.focuspact (Approved on March 13) Extension ID 1: com.hayashikento.focuspact.ShieldActionExtension (Pending/Not visible) Extension ID 2: com.hayashikento.focuspact.ShieldConfigurationExtension (Pending/Not visible) I have submitted requests multiple times, but the entitlement does not appear in the "Capability Requests" for these extensions in the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles portal. Furthermore, I am unable to contact Developer Support because the "Contact Us" form on the developer website consistently shows a "Request error" or freezes on the submission page. Since I am completely blocked from TestFlight distribution, could someone from Apple please look into my account (Team ID: UHG4J7F7NH) and manually sync these entitlements? Thank you for your help.

Hello, I was told from Developer engineers to post an Xcode issue on Feedback Assistant. It has been 6 weeks and I have yet to receive a single reply or acknowledgement on my feedback post. I would just like to at least get some sort of acknowledgement from Feedback Assistant that my post is being tracked or if a resolution is in work please. Here's the post: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/21824703

Hi, Problem When playing videos on the Developer app on the Mac, there is no full screen button for the video. So it is not possible to play the video in full screen. Note I am not referring to the app going into full screen, the issue is with there is no option to play the video in full screen. Environment OS: macOS 26.2 (25C56) Developer app: Version 10.8.3 (1083.3.1) Feedback FB21343934 Recording Question Are others also facing this issue? Is there a workaround? Suggestion This seems to be recurring problem that seems get broken with app / OS releases. Please write some UI tests to ensure the full screen button is present. Would really appreciate if this gets fixed.

A user of my app sent me a crash report. I have never seen one like this before. All of my app's symbols are replaced with three question marks (???) Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 ??? 0x10844eb40 ??? 1 CoreFoundation 0x7ff80f155518 __CFNOTIFICATIONCENTER_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_AN_OBSERVER__ + 137 and the binary image as 0x0 - 0xffffffffffffffff ??? (*) <00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000> ??? so I cannot find out where exactly the crash happened. What can cause this kind of crash report and can I do anything with it? crash.ips

As it has already been reported elsewehere, I also face the problem of endless waiting time for my submissions to be notarized. This prevents me from shipping a new release. A waiting/processing time of multiple days is simply unacceptable. I kindly request to fix this.

I used to develop iPhone apps about a decade ago and am now back at it with an iPhone and companion Apple Watch app. Why does it suck so bad? I a must be doing something wrong, but what I am doing is out of the box. The majority of the time when I go to build on the watch I get: Previous preparation error: A connection to this device could not be established.; Timed out while attempting to establish tunnel using negotiated network parameters. Which I then first try to force quit the app on the watch and if that does not work, reboot the watch (which is pretty ridiculous). I tried Gemini and it gave me the following explanation: This is arguably the single most frustrating error in the entire watchOS development ecosystem. As an expert, I can tell you that you are not doing anything wrong; you are fighting a fragile architecture. Here is the technical breakdown of why this happens and a workflow to mitigate it without constant reboots. The Technical "Why" This error message reveals that the issue lies in the CoreDevice (and formerly usbmuxd) infrastructure, specifically in the secure transport layer. The "Tunnel" Failure: Xcode attempts to establish a secure, encrypted tunnel (DTXConnection) to the Apple Watch to push the debugger and the app binary. Unlike the iPhone, which can sustain a high-bandwidth connection easily, the Watch aggressively manages its radios (Bluetooth vs. WiFi vs. AWDL) to save battery. The "Handshake" Timeout: If the Watch is on Bluetooth (Low Energy) when Xcode initiates the tunnel, the bandwidth is insufficient. The system tries to escalate the connection to WiFi (or Apple Wireless Direct Link). If this negotiation takes even a few milliseconds too long—due to 2.4GHz interference, router mDNS configuration, or the Watch CPU being throttled—the handshake times out. The "Previous Preparation Error": This is the insidious part. Once the handshake fails once, Xcode’s device service caches that failure state for the device UUID. It marks the device as "unreachable" to prevent the IDE from hanging indefinitely on subsequent tries. Why you see it constantly: You aren't actually triggering a new connection attempt; you are hitting the cached "failed" state immediately. Unfortunately, the solutions it gives me are: The "Wired Proxy" Method (Most Reliable) This is the gold standard for watchOS debugging. Do not rely on "Connect via Network" for the Watch directly if you can avoid it. Disable WiFi on your Mac (temporarily) or ensure the Mac and iPhone are on the exact same SSID. Plug your iPhone into the Mac via USB. Ensure the Watch is paired to that iPhone. Result: Xcode will tunnel the instructions through the USB connection to the Phone, and the Phone acts as a high-bandwidth proxy to the Watch. This eliminates the "Mac-to-Watch" WiFi negotiation failure point. Do you hit this regularly? What do you do to make for a smooth development and deployment process? Or is it really this fragile? Thanks for any help! Bryan

Objective: Downloading and running an old Swift iOS App on iPhone 5s with iOS 12.5.8. Development System and Tools: Apple macBook, M4 Pro, running macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 (25D2128). Xcode Version 26.3 (17C529)

I tried to build my project with -fsanitize=fuzzer. This failed to link with libclang_rt.fuzzer_osx.a not found when attempting to link the code. I mean really!! Why on earth would you exclude this from the version of clang that ships with XCode!

Le build iOS via EAS échoue systématiquement lors de la phase Xcode. Bien que les capacités Family Controls et App Groups soient activées sur le portail Apple Developer et configurées dans le app.json, les profils de provisionnement générés par EAS sont rejetés par Xcode car ils ne contiendraient pas les droits nécessaires. Configuration du projet : Targets (4) : App principale + 3 extensions (ShieldConfiguration, ShieldAction, ActivityMonitorExtension). Capabilities requises : Family Controls (Development), App Groups. EAS CLI Version : 18.0.6 (et versions antérieures testées). Erreur Xcode récurrente : error: Provisioning profile "[expo] com.*****.*** AdHoc 177230..." doesn't support the Family Controls (Development) capability.. error: Provisioning profile "... AdHoc ..." doesn't include the com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement.. Ce qui a déjà été tenté (sans succès) : Configuration app.json : Ajout manuel des entitlements pour le bundle principal et configuration du plugin react-native-device-activity. Nettoyage Credentials : Suppression totale des profils et des identifiants sur le site Expo.dev ET sur le portail Apple Developer. +1 Forçage Sync : Utilisation de eas build --clear-cache et réponse "No" à la réutilisation des profils existants. Observation étrange : Le terminal indique souvent ✔ Synced capabilities: No updates, alors que les droits viennent d'être modifiés sur le portail Apple. Sur le portail Apple, les profils affichent pourtant bien "Family Controls (Development)" dans les capacités activées. Je met en piece jointe un des profiles.

My phone's charging port is fried. It only charges wirelessly. Fixing it costs the same as the phone. I currently am having a lot of issues enrolling for apple developer program as well, so I can't use test flight right now. I want to enable developer mode on my phone, but it's never been connected to xcode before, so the option is not available. How do I enable developer mode without being able to connect it to a pc? I have a mac, and both my mac and iphone are on the same apple id. thank you

Hello, There seems to be a regression with macOS SDK 15 and dynamically loading libraries if Address Sanitizer is turned on. Seems to only affect Debug builds, and .frameworks. I've also reported this via the Feedback Assistant: FB16513866 Here's a minimal repro, if anyone is interested: https://gist.github.com/peter-esik/6b00432e411be85333e14ae7d953966e I thought I'd post this here, as according to my web searches, this isn't a very well-known bug at this point.

Hi, I'm investigating what looks like possibly nondeterministic behavior when linking large iOS app binaries. I do not have a concise reproduction of the issue yet, but am trying to hunt down possible leads. In particular, the problem appears to surface when invoking clang to link a binary and the resulting order of the 'branch island' instructions appears to be random each time the binary is linked (as shown by the link map output). I was wondering if anyone with insight into the linker's current implementation could shed light on whether that is expected, and if there is anything that can be done to prevent it. FWIW, it seems like it might be size-dependent as smaller app binaries don't appear to exhibit the same behavior. I'd be glad to share more specifics and hopefully a reproduction if I can ever find one eventually.

Based on the stack trace, the issue was likely detected while layout was in progress. Our analytics show this happens generally on app launch and occasionally during normal use. Unfortunately, I couldn't gather additional diagnostic data. I tried to reproduce the issue using the Leaks tool and enabled runtime diagnostics (Address Sanitizer, Malloc Scribble, Zombies), but without success. I may be overlooking something — any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

I have been working on a M1 Mac mini, using my iPad Air M2 running 26.3 iPadOS. Switched to a new M4 Mac mini, went to connect my iPad to run from Xcode and was presented this "The developer disk image could not be mounted on this device." So how can a get an updated DDI? I appreciate any ideas. /Users/robertlawson/Desktop/Screenshot 2026-02-15 at 8.21.50 PM.png

I am on a windows computer using visual studio 2026 for developing .NET Maui apps for Android and iOS. Am I able to connect my iPhone to my windows computer and deploy my .NET Maui app to my connected iPhone during deveoplemt?

Every now and then I get this very frustrating message on Feedback Assistant. For instance, in FB14696726 I reported an issue with the App Store Connect API. 4 weeks later, I got a reply, asking among other things for a „correlation key and Charles log“. I immediately replied saying that I didn‘t know what those are, and they replied After reviewing your feedback, it is unclear what the exact issue is. I pointed out that I had asked a question which was left unanswered, and they replied explaining what the correlation key is. Then I asked again what the Charles log is. They replied The Apple Developer website provides access to a range of videos covering various topics on using and developing with Apple technologies. You can find these videos on our Development Videos page: http://developer.apple.com/videos. I opened the link and searched for „Charles“ but there were no results, so I asked to kindly point me to the video answering my question. They replied 3 months later (today): Following up on our last message, we believe this issue is either resolved or not reproducible with the information provided and will now consider this report closed internally. This Feedback will no longer be monitored, and incoming messages will not be reviewed. This is not the first time I ask for clarification and get back a message basically telling me that „we won‘t answer any questions you may have and won‘t hear anything you still may have to say about this issue“. They didn‘t even ask me to verify if the issue is resolved or not, like they sometimes do. No, they just shut the door in my face. I just wanted to share this frustrating experience. Perhaps an Apple engineer wants to say something about it or a developer has had a similar experience?

I'm trying to authenticate to a git host using SSH keys stored in 1Password. I have ~/.ssh/config with mode 600 set with a symlink: Host * IdentityAgent "~/.1password/agent.sock" But ssh-add -l shows no identities. If I set $SSH_AUTH_SOCK, ssh-add -l works just fine. I'd love to not have to do this, though. Why doesn't ssh-add seem to read ~/.ssh/config? The built-in version is OpenSSH_10.0p2, LibreSSL 3.3.6. I've searched fruitlessly for an answer anywhere else.
