Hey, does anyone know how long the enrolment process needs? enrollment ID is QARGL6A9YV - maybe someone can help, we wanna start as soon as possible :-)

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm reaching out to ask whether anyone else is currently experiencing unusually long review times in App Store Connect. Our app, NumbuX, has been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status for approximately three weeks, without any updates or requests for additional information. We understand that review times can vary, but this delay seems significantly longer than usual. I would appreciate any clarification regarding the following: Are there any known technical issues or backlogs affecting the App Store review process? Are other developers experiencing similar delays? Is there a recommended way to escalate or request an update when an app remains in "Waiting for Review" for several weeks? Could there be an issue with our submission that is preventing it from progressing, even though no action is requested in App Store Connect? We want to ensure that there is nothing missing on our side and that our submission is being processed correctly. We have also opened few tickets in different areas and we have not had any replied yet. Is anyone in the same situation? Thank you in advance for any information or guidance.

Versions under discussion: Apple Command Line Tools: 26.5.0.0.1777544298 LLDB: 2100.0.17.108 Components: lldb, LLDB.framework, debugserver I am seeking documented capability boundaries for observing an owned test process on macOS, rather than reporting a reproduced defect. Earliest observation point For a process launched under LLDB/debugserver, what is the earliest guaranteed stopped point? Is there a supported workflow that establishes observation before dyld and image initializers execute, or is observation necessarily established later? Please distinguish an exec stop, a stop at main, and images already present at the first stop. Event completeness and loss detection Are image-load/unload notifications a complete, ordered event stream, including shared-cache/preexisting images? Can library-initializer execution be observed with equivalent guarantees? What documented sequence, overflow, or dropped-event indication lets a client detect an incomplete observation, rather than treating a snapshot or lack of events as proof of completeness? Process ownership and reaping In launch versus attach modes, which process actually creates the target and which process consumes its terminal wait status? What documented behavior applies if the LLDB frontend or debugserver exits unexpectedly? In particular, how can a controller distinguish a termination signal being sent from the target actually being reaped, without competing with another wait-status consumer? Pointers to documentation or source/build references matching these components would be appreciated. If any of these guarantees are unsupported, an explicit limitation would also answer the question.

It annoys me that Xcode keeps downloading Simulators automatically, even though I haven't asked for them. Under Settings > Components > Other Installed Platforms I see iOS Simulator iOS 18.0 uptil 18.5. These are eating space in /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Caches/dyld/25E253. Is there a way to prevent these automatic downloads?

Hello, I completed enrollment and paid for the Apple Developer Program on Oct 22nd, but my account still does not show an active membership. I have not received an explanation of what is holding up the enrollment. I opened a Developer Support case on October 25 and sent a second request on November 2. Both were acknowledged, but I have not received a substantive reply or status update. I also called general Apple Support, but they said they could not help with Developer Program enrollment or transfer me to Developer Support. I haven’t found a direct phone option for the Developer Support team. Could someone advise what I should check on my side, and whether there is an official way to have a paid enrollment reviewed or escalated? If you’ve resolved a similar issue, I’d appreciate hearing what helped. I can provide my case numbers and payment confirmation through Apple Support if needed. Thank you.

My Apple Developer enrollment has been stuck under review for almost 3 months. I've contacted Apple Support multiple times but haven't received a response. Case number: 103017118524 Has anyone experienced this or found a solution?

Using Xcode 27.1 RC, the iPhone Duo simulator (Device Hub) only comes with the Settings and Safari apps. Am I missing something? Are there plans to have the usual simulator apps such as Photos, Calendar, Reminders, Maps, etc.? In these early stages it would be really nice to have some real apps to look at for examples of how some things should work/appear on the Duo in different layouts.

On Xcode 26 and earlier versions, two-finger touches were possible on Simulator by holding down the option key. On Xcode 27 with Device Hub, this is no longer possible. While the trackpad can be used for pinch and rotate gestures, two-finger taps and two-finger pans are not possible. This is a major regression that renders our app basically unusable in Device Hub. We rely on two-finger tap and pan gestures to navigate our 3D models. Not being able to do this in Device Hub and in Xcode previews would be a huge loss. Is this actually no longer supported or am I missing something?

Does Xcode 27 or TestFlight support installing a watch-only beta on an Apple Watch For Your Kids device? I want to test my watch only standalone app on my kids apple watch as that is the only device I have. Is it possible to use that watch for testing standalone apple watch application. The watch is setup as kids watch on my iphone.

I just downloaded and installed the final released Xcode 27.2, and it queued up, downloaded, and installed not one but two simulator SDKs. Why is that?

I just saw the following in the Xcode 27 release notes: Xcode can now serve asset packs to your app while debugging on devices by setting a Background Asset Packs folder in the Run scheme action’s Options tab. (165230494) And sure enough, the option is there. But what do I need to point this to? I tried everything: the path to the built .aar asset pack the path to the .json manifest file the path to the download-manifest.json (for self-hosted asset packs) the path to the directory that actually contains the assets (as also referenced by the manifest file) the path to the directory that contains the manifest file and the asset directory. Nothing works. I always get the same errors on the console: Checking for updates failed: DecodingError.dataCorrupted: Data was corrupted. Debug description: The given data was not valid JSON.. Underlying error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Unexpected end of file" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Unexpected end of file} The asset pack with the ID “MyID” couldn’t be looked up: DecodingError.dataCorrupted: Data was corrupted. Debug description: The given data was not valid JSON.. Underlying error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Unexpected end of file" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Unexpected end of file} The manifest couldn’t be refreshed: DecodingError.dataCorrupted: Data was corrupted. Debug description: The given data was not valid JSON.. Underlying error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Unexpected end of file" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Unexpected end of file} I'm testing on a physical iPhone. Any advice would be appreciated!

I feel I'm missing something really obvious, but how are files copied to simulators in Device Hub now? From my MacOS Finder, there's no share with simulator option and drag and drop is ignored. What am I missing?

Hi, I’m encountering an issue when profiling an application with xctrace and Instruments on macOS. When I try to record a trace using either the CPU Profiler or CPU Counters template, the recording fails with the following error: Failed to start the recording: configureHardwareCounters: Failed set kpc configuration: Operation not permitted. The issue was also present in the previous macOS 27.0 build (26A428) and remains after updating to macOS 27.0.1 (26A434) System: Apple M6 Mac mini macOS 27.0.1, build 26A434 Xcode 27.0, build 27A266a

Before Device Hub (27.0), you could drag a photo onto an iOS Simulator window and the photo would be added to that simulated device's Photos library. This does not work in Device Hub (27.0). Bummer if your app has to do with photos.

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual about two weeks ago using my Apple Account and national ID. Since then, the enrollment has been pending and I haven't received any update or email from Apple. I was also never asked to pay the membership fee, so it seems the enrollment hasn't moved past the review stage. I have contacted Apple Developer Program Support, but haven't received a reply yet. Has anyone experienced this recently? Is there anything I can do on my side to move the enrollment forward, or should I simply keep waiting? Thank you.

I am looking for current Apple guidance on installing an independently developed, Watch-only watchOS app on an Apple Watch configured with Apple Watch For Your Kids / Family Setup, without changing its existing pairing, Apple Account or Family Setup configuration. Configuration: Apple Watch SE 3 (GPS + Cellular). watchOS 26.6. Managing iPhone running iOS 26.6.2. Xcode 27.1. Family Setup user is a child under 13. The app operates independently of a companion iPhone app. Its conventional-device version has been installed and tested on another, conventionally paired Watch. The isolated variant builds for watchOS with signing disabled, but has not been signed or installed on this Family Setup Watch. A read-only development-device inventory did not identify the Family Setup Watch. We have not changed its settings or attempted installation on it. I found this January 2022 answer from an Apple Frameworks Engineer stating that Family Setup Watches were not supported for Xcode development: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/698831 I also reviewed the later discussion about missing Developer Mode, which contains similar reports but no supported installation procedure: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/741161 Does the earlier limitation still apply to the configuration above? If direct Xcode development deployment is now supported, what is the exact workflow for discovering the Watch as a development destination, registering it for development, enabling Developer Mode where applicable, and provisioning/installing a Watch-only app while preserving Family Setup? Please identify required trust prompts, restarts or settings changes. If it is supported but the device is undiscoverable, which non-destructive diagnostics should be collected first? If it remains unsupported, is there another Apple-supported registered-device testing route that preserves Family Setup, or is a reviewed standalone Watch App Store release required? TestFlight is not an eligible route for this child's use under Apple's published age restriction. We are not seeking an age/account workaround, private APIs, or instructions to unpair, erase or convert the Watch to conventional pairing. Please link the applicable documentation or explicitly confirm the current platform limitation. This question concerns development installation only.

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual and paid the USD 99 membership on October 23, 2026. The payment was charged, but my account still shows "Pending" along with the banner asking me to purchase the membership. I opened support case 103011759722 on October 28 and added the purchase details and an explanation today (November 3), but I haven't received a reply yet. Phone support is currently unavailable. Could someone from Apple Developer Support please take a look at my case? I'm ready to verify my identity if needed. Thank you.

Hello, Our company, Vinova Lab AI Solutions FZCO (United Arab Emirates), submitted an Apple Developer Program enrollment as an organization on October 14, 2026. We received the confirmation email saying Apple would verify my authority to bind the organization, and nothing since. Enrollment ID: RTV2USJA62 Support Case ID: 103007089450 D-U-N-S Number: 851154066 (created October 13, verified by D&B through the national registry) I am the founder and majority owner (75%) of the company. I followed up by email on October 24 and October 30 with no reply, and the phone callback option for Program Enrollment is currently unavailable. We have not received any request for additional documents. Could someone from Developer Program Support check the status of this enrollment or let us know if anything is missing? Thank you

I write this after 3 weeks trying to enroll in the program. From the developer App I was required to verify my identity with my driver’s license, very weird since I am from Spain and normal verification is with the id card. it said that it was unable to verify my identity and redirects me to web where it says “Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” I contacted support but they answered without solving the issue, and after several days waiting for a response. They have a bug which need to be scaled to the proper team but how I can contact them if phone calls are unavailable and email support looks generic, slow and inefficient?
