I wonder is anyone at Apple still using Interface Builder for anything… Across Xcode 16.x and 26.x, IB has become increasingly and noticeably slower to open storyboard and xibs. I see zero improvements in Xcode 27 beta. This morning I had both 26 and 27 going fairly quickly into "application not responding" state when trying to render a rather simple layout in storyboard. What's making it worse is that force-quitting the app and starting again leads straight back into the same storyboard and then locks up again. It does not matter if I manage to switch to a .swift file — it's clearly still doing something in the background related to that storyboard and gets stuck. I eventually managed to open just the .storyboard (without the project), fix the offending layout bits and now it's at least not getting stuck although it still takes good 5-6s before it renders a layout with about a dozen components. I assume something with LLM agents is the reason for this issue but come on people — this is infuriatingly incapacitating tool for people like me that are still maintaining UIKit apps.

Hello, I have a problem with the Retention Message API. The default message is not displayed to users when they try to cancel their subscription in the device's Settings app. The API configuration was made with Revenue Request. The request to use this API was approved by Apple for our account. After configuring it for the Sandbox environment, everything worked as expected the image and text were displayed to users. Later, I applied the same configuration to the Production environment. I received the Approved status for the message, but after purchasing the subscription from the App Store, although I can see the subscription in Settings, the retention message is not displayed when I attempt to cancel it. I have tried different Apple accounts from different regions (both EU and non-EU) and tested from physical locations without using a VPN. Also, for clarification, we do not use real-time communication only the default retention message. For additional information: I also tried configuring this message from App Store Connect, as shown in WWDC 2026, but this section is not available under the Subscriptions category. When I deactivate and then reactivate the message, I notice that the deactivated state shows the text status "Waiting for sync (0/9)", while the active state shows "Approved". All other assets have an Approved state. In my case, the message is configured for all subscription types without any filters or other restrictions. What could be causing this problem, and how can I fix it? It seems that the issue is not on my side.

With Xcode Version 26.5 (17F42) apps can no longer be launched on a real Vision Pro once migrated to visionOS 27 Beta 2. At launch there is an EXC_BAD_ACCESS runtime error in an initialiser. If you launch apps on a real iPhone/Ipad with OS 27 Beta 2 the program will stop before the end of its start, but there is no precise line with the error. Xcode just stop in assembly code in the debugger, in the init phase of Swift where it searches for which objects to instantiate at launch. After investigating, the error comes from a debug setting from Xcode to show the stack trace. To avoid the error when run from Xcode Version 26.5 (17F42) In Xcode, open Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme. Select the Run action in the sidebar, then open the Options tab. Find Queue Debugging and uncheck Enable backtrace recording. If Queue debugging is enabled, then the program crashes when launched It is useful to be able to run apps from the production Xcode to devices with 27 OSes in beta to be able to test that everything will work fine for new versions of apps released before OSes 27 release. Thank you A previous post was made but the cause was badly identified. New Feedback including a sample code FB23384318

Hello everyone, I am experiencing a roadblock while trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program and am hoping to get some insight or advice from anyone who has resolved a similar issue. My Setup & Steps: Account Type: Individual / Sole Proprietor The Issue: I completed the initial information steps, but immediately after clicking to accept the Developer Program License Agreement, the page redirected to a generic error screen. Error Message: Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time. What I've Done So Far: I have already contacted Apple Developer Support directly to investigate this from the backend. They have opened an official case for me (Case ID: 102921563857). Since I am currently waiting on a response from support, I wanted to check if this is a known system glitch or if there is a common trigger for this error (e.g., identity verification hiccups, regional payment issues, or Apple ID region mismatches) that I can fix on my end in the meantime. Has anyone else encountered this exact error immediately after the agreement step? If so, how long did it take to resolve, or what did support require to clear it up? Thank you in advance for your help!

My enrollment has been pending for close to a month. Apparently my brand new LLC had a false positive for some sort of US Gov sanctions list, matched with 2 companies in Asia that I've never heard of, I'm a Boston, MA developer... I've called apple support over 6 times and numerous times over email to try to resolve. One representative overrode the account which let me get to accept agreements for enrollment but it keeps prompting me to accept and when I do it just says thank you. The last representative said he would escalate the case but I have not heard anything yet. There is apparently some separate team that must give the okay on manual reviews related to the sanctions list. I have 8 native iOS apps that have gone through extensive QA and are ready to submit. I'm now wishing I just developed them for Android. Any help would be much appreciated as I anticipate the app approval process to be another ordeal after going through this. Thank you

quencoder 2.5 locally is making great plans. Beautiful plans amazing plans that are so correct I want to hug it. But when I want to implement it there is no button asking me if I want to go ahead. I tried /exit-plan and the command could not be completed (I only see /plan, /rename, and /exit-planP. I do not see the markdown in a separate pane that's copyable as shown in this video https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2026/259/?time=597 (I also can't get the conversation in a separate window by pressing option shift click, I have to manually open the conversation in a new tab). I get a plan interleaved with code snippets and I can't copy the whole plan to a new conversation. I would very much like this to work. (I also really like being able to run locally because I do not agree with google, openai, or anthropic ethics. thanks for giving me a choice) (I also like how not like a sycophant the tone of the response is. refreshing) (Note I started planning first because without a plan it started mucking about in the plist editing status bar keys when the problem was a navigation bar which I thought was clear from the picture I attached) (But I'd really like to say go and I have no buttons to exit plan mode.) (I am going to stay on Tahoe till October) I asked it how to copy and it said: In the opencode session where the plan was discussed, type /share — it'll copy a shareable link to your clipboard (like opncd.ai/s/...). Paste that link here and I can fetch the plan directly. That was a hallucination when I typed /share the agent just repeated its plan for a third time. It's a good plan, the best plan, I don't see any algae in this plan. It also said "I can see from the repository exploration that there's no written plan document, and the other agent is working on "[the plan]." However, I don't have access to the previous conversation's last response. Maybe there should be a button to copy a whole response or open a new conversation (not in plan mode) with a response? I see that I can configure agents https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/. Should I? Shouldn't Xcode do it for me? { "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "agent": { "build": { "mode": "primary", "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514", "prompt": "{file:./prompts/build.txt}", "permission": { "edit": "allow", "bash": "allow" } }, "plan": { "mode": "primary", "model": "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-20250514", "permission": { "edit": "deny", "bash": "deny" } }, "code-reviewer": { "description": "Reviews code for best practices and potential issues", "mode": "subagent", "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514", "prompt": "You are a code reviewer.

Hello Apple Developer Support / Community, Our company's iOS app launch is currently paralyzed due to an automated enrollment block, and we are facing intense customer backlash because our Android version is already live. We urgently need an Apple representative to reset our enrollment status. The Situation: Originally, we started developing our app under a temporary legal entity (Homeflow BV) while our final corporate entity (Luo BV) was being legally formed. We initially opened Case 102912721623 to transfer the account from Homeflow to Luo. However, Developer Support informed us that because Luo is not acquiring Homeflow, a simple transfer isn't permitted. Accepting this, we decided to do it the right way: we abandoned the transfer, unlinked the primary Apple ID (s.aerts@...) from the old Homeflow account, and attempted to enroll Luo BV from scratch as a brand new Apple Developer Program member. The Blocker: When we attempt to enroll the new entity, we are immediately hit with the error: "Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." It seems our attempt to clean up our accounts and start fresh has triggered an automated security block. We are stuck in a catch-22: we can't transfer the old account, and the system won't let us pay for a new one. Business Impact: • We are a registered energy provider in Belgium • Our Google Play app is live, but our Apple users are entirely blocked from managing their energy contracts. We literally have households where one partner can use the service and the other cannot. • We cannot publish under the old Homeflow entity as it exposes private residential data. Could an Apple representative please clear this security block so we can finalize the enrollment of Luo BV and get our app to our customers? Thank you, Sam Aerts Luo BV

I purchased my Apple Developer program on April 16, 2026. It’s been 4 days now, and my status is still stuck on "Pending." What’s worse is that the system is now prompting me to make the payment again. I know many of us are experiencing this exact same issue right now. I am from Thailand, so I decided to make a phone call to the Apple Developer support team to get this sorted out. They told me that due to a massive volume of requests, it might take a very long time to approve. They promised to "expedite" my process, but completely failed to provide any specific timeframe or even an estimated date of approval. Honestly, it felt like the support agent was just reading from a script to calm me down without actually offering any real help—they didn't even ask for my Order Number to check my case! Based on how this is being handled, I strongly believe that anyone reading this who is stuck in the same situation might have to endure this problem for months. Has anyone actually gotten their account approved recently?

Hello, Our organization is facing a critical, blocking issue with our Apple Developer Account. All of our live apps have been removed from the App Store due to an apparent expiration, but the standard dashboard UI seems to be entirely broken for our Account Holder login, leaving us completely unable to renew or fix it. We need urgent assistance from an Apple Forum Specialist or anyone on the engineering team who can look into this account state. The Issues We Are Facing: App Status: All of our applications have been removed from the App Store and are marked as expired. Missing Dashboard Controls: When logged in as the Account Holder, the "Membership Status" section and the "Renew Membership" button are completely missing from the developer console dashboard. Missing Agreements: We received a notification stating we have a pending agreement that requires acceptance. However, there is absolutely no banner, link, or "Action Required" page visible anywhere in our console to review or sign it. Because the standard self-service renewal paths are missing from our view, we are entirely blocked from resolving this on our end. We believe our account is stuck in an anomalous state or technical glitch that requires manual intervention or an internal backend reset. Has anyone else encountered a glitch where the renewal buttons and pending agreement banners completely vanish for the Account Holder? If an Apple team member can assist, we are ready to provide our official Team ID and case details privately to get this escalated. Thank you.

I’m seeing a regression in Xcode 26.4 where Interface Builder will not allow connecting IBOutlets or IBActions. Symptoms: The usual gutter circle/dot does not appear next to IBOutlet / IBAction in the code editor Because of this, I cannot: drag from storyboard → code drag from code → storyboard The class is valid and already connected to the storyboard (existing outlets work) Assistant Editor opens the correct view controller file Important: The exact same project, unchanged, works perfectly in Xcode 26.3. I can create and connect outlets/actions normally there. ⸻ Environment Xcode: 26.4 macOS: 26.4 Mac Mini M4 Pro 64G Ram Project: Objective-C UIKit app using Storyboards This is a long-running, ObjC, project (not newly created) ⸻ What I’ve already tried To rule out the usual suspects: Verified View Controller Custom Class is correctly set in Identity Inspector Verified files are in the correct Target Membership Verified outlets are declared correctly in the .h file: @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *exampleLabel; Opened correct file manually (not relying on Automatic Assistant) Tried both: storyboard → code drag code → storyboard drag Tried using Connections Inspector Clean Build Folder Deleted entire DerivedData Restarted Xcode Updated macOS to 26.4 Ran: sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch Confirmed required platform components installed Reopened project fresh ⸻ Observations In Xcode 26.4 the outlet “connection circles” are completely missing In Xcode 26.3 they appear immediately for the same code Existing connections still function at runtime — this is purely an Interface Builder issue ⸻ Question The gutter circles appearance has always been flaky in Xcode over the 13+ years I've been using it but now with 26.4 they have completely disappeared. Has anyone else seen this in Xcode 26.4, or found a workaround? At this point it looks like a regression in Interface Builder, but I haven’t found any mention of it yet.

Hello, after submitting company documents our company enrollment was declined and support stopped any kind of communication.

Currently in the Apple Developer Forums RSS feeds the content of many of the posts is truncated. It would be nice if the RSS feed contained the full content of the post. FB23382531 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/808

Hello, I am posting here as a last resort because I have been unable to get any assistance through Apple Developer Support. Case ID: 102888399005 Timeline: I started the Apple Developer Program enrollment process using the Apple Developer app on my iPhone. I successfully uploaded my ID document. After that, I received a message stating that my identity could not be verified. I submitted a support request to Apple Developer Support. I received a reply from Developer Support, but the response did not address my issue or provide any guidance on how to continue the enrollment process. The status in the Apple Developer app on my iPhone later changed to "ID Verification Rejected". I replied to the existing support case and, after receiving no response for two weeks, submitted a new support request. Several weeks have now passed without any response to either request. The enrollment page on the web now displays the message: "Your enrollment could not be completed." The Apple Developer app for iOS still shows "ID Verification Rejected" In the Apple Developer app for macOS, I am able to start the enrollment process. However, after scanning my ID document, the app either displays a completely black image or crashes immediately. At this point, I have multiple open support requests and an unresolved case, but I have not received any guidance on why my identity verification was rejected or how I can proceed with enrollment. I would greatly appreciate any assistance, guidance, or help in getting this case reviewed by the appropriate team. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Jan Bula

Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with the App Store review / support process and would really appreciate some guidance from others who may have experienced something similar. I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times regarding my app, but unfortunately I have not received any meaningful response so far. At this point, I am unsure how to move forward or how to get proper feedback to resolve the issue. The lack of response is making it difficult to proceed with my app submission and address any potential problems on Apple’s side. Has anyone encountered a similar situation? How did you successfully escalate the issue? Is there a specific way to get a response from the review team or developer support? Any advice on how to move forward would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I’ve been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for days, but I immediately receive the error: “Your enrollment could not be completed.” This happens on the web, on my Mac, and in the Apple Developer app. I cannot proceed to any step, as the error appears before entering any information or payment details. In the app, the “Enroll Now” button is also disabled.

Im unable to deploy Xcode 27 beta code to an iPhone 17 pro The build is successful but its not loading

Hi, I have two questions: Is there any way to test the revoke consent flow on a local build of our app? When I try using Sandbox to "Revoke App Consent" with the application bundle ID of a locally built and deployed app, it fails with "Cannot Trigger Notification. The bundle ID you provided is invalid or you do not have access to the app." https://developer.apple.com/support/age-assurance/#responsibility states that "When a parent or guardian revokes consent for their child to access an app, Apple will prevent the app from launching." However, when using the Sandbox to revoke app consent, the app is still launchable. Does anyone know if the app being launchable is exclusive to Sandbox, and how this works in prouduction?
