I get the message on my iphone 14 as below. "Contact Us to Continue There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue. Please contact support." I raised the case no. 102822291300 to apple support and they replied to my email they can assist in identity verification and I cannot use developer account. It is very sad to see there is no support from apple to be able to resolve the issue. Their tool flagging the issue seems to have bugs and support team has expressed their inability to provide resolution. Can anyone support how this issue can be fixed? Thanks a lot for your support in advance. Kind Regards, Pradeep

Hi, I tried paying for apple developer program. It keeps saying authorization failed. I tried 3 different credit cards. My visa and mastercard and 1 debit card and it still fails. I called my bank and there seems to be no issue on their side. I am able to pay apps and subscriptions on my credit enrolled in my account but it is failing in apple development program. I hope anyone can help. I need to enroll in app development program as soon as possible. I tried emailing support twice already still no response :( Thank you

Hello, My Apple Developer account is currently stuck in an Individual to Organization migration state. The organization verification was declined earlier, but the migration flag is still active on my account. Because of this, my membership benefits are temporarily disabled and I cannot submit new app builds for review. I already contacted Apple Developer Program Support and opened a case. Case ID: 102826815891 However, I have not received a response yet and my account is still locked in the migration state. Has anyone experienced this issue before or know how it can be resolved? Thank you.

I purchased my Apple Developer program on March 2nd, and received payment confirmations, but have not yet received a final approval email. It has been more than 48 hours. Please help check the status

Dear Xcode Team, Please consider adding an option to position the Coding Assistant on the right side of the editor. Currently, when the assistant panel is open, it makes it difficult to access the Project Navigator at the same time. Having the ability to move the Coding Assistant to the right side would allow developers to keep the Project Navigator visible while interacting with the assistant, improving workflow and efficiency. Thank you

Hi everyone, I am developing a benchmarking tool to measure memory latency (L1/L2/DRAM) on Apple Silicon. I am currently using Xcode Instruments (CPU Counters) to validate my results. In my latest run for a 128 MB buffer with random access, Instruments shows: Latency (cycles): ~259 cycles (derived from LDST_UNIT_OLD_L1D_CACHE_MISS / L1D_CACHE_MISS_LD). Manual Timer Result: ~80 ns. To correlate these two values, I need the exact CPU Frequency (GHz) at the time of the sample. My Questions: Is there a recommended way to programmatically fetch the current frequency of the Performance cores (p-cores) during a benchmark run? Does Apple provide a "nominal" frequency value for M-series chips that we should use for cycle-to-nanosecond conversions? In Instruments, is there a hidden counter or "Average Frequency" metric that I can enable to avoid manual math? Hardware/Software Environment: Tool: Instruments 26.3+ (CPU Counters Template). Chip: A19, iPhone 17 pro. OS: 26.3.

I purchased the Apple Developer Program as an individual on March 1, 2026. My card was successfully charged C$119 + C$15 tax. Order number: W158933275. It has now been 4+ days (well past the stated 48-hour processing time) and my account at developer.apple.com/account still shows "Purchase your membership." I have not received any activation email or follow-up. I opened support case 102835143414 but have not received a response yet. Could an Apple team member please look into my account and help activate my membership? This is blocking my app development. Thank you.

My project uses about 10 local packages. When Xcode determins its dependencies graph it includes project Foo (a package) and project Foo_Foo (???). This is a no op for normal builds, but causes the Foo package to be linked twice for test builds which then fail due to duplicate symbols. Nowhere in my repository is Foo_Foo defined or reference. Nowhere in the .xcodeproj/ folder is there mention of Foo_Foo. What am I doing wrong?

It doesn't show any files, only warning or errors for me. Same behavior with @

I'm trying to enroll a UK-registered limited company in the Apple Developer Program. I am the sole director and authorized signatory of the company, but I am not a UK national and do not hold a UK-issued passport or driving licence. Apple support keeps asking for a "government-issued ID from the United Kingdom" and won't accept my valid passport from another country, even though UK company law fully permits non-UK nationals to be sole directors of UK-registered companies. My enrollment ID was withdrawn and I was told to "designate a UK team member" — but I have no UK employees. I am a solo founder. I have offered to provide my passport, Certificate of Incorporation from Companies House, proof of directorship, and notarized copies of anything needed. Support keeps repeating the same response without offering any alternative path. Case: 102823892910 Has anyone solved this situation? Is there an official alternative verification path for non-UK directors of UK-registered organizations? Any help or escalation pointer appreciated.

Hello, Our Apple Developer Program membership is active and renewed until 2027, and the updated terms and conditions were accepted a few days ago by the account holder. However, in App Store Connect we are still seeing the following messages: "Your Apple Developer Program subscription has expired. Your apps won't be available on the App Store until you renew it. To renew the subscription, the account holder must go to the Membership section of their account on the Apple Developer website." "The Apple Developer Program license agreement has been updated and needs to be reviewed. To update your apps and submit new apps, the account holder must log in to their account, review the updated agreement, and accept it." Both actions appear to have already been completed, but the warnings are still displayed in App Store Connect. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Is there any known delay for the system to reflect the updated membership status, or any additional step that we might be missing? Thank you.

I have opened a developer account couple of month ago, and enrolled successfully. Did the app store connect and put the app for testing. The company decided to change legal entity, and thus, I had to create a new developer account. So, I have enrolled to a new developer account. My enrollment is pending for almost 3 weeks, while I do not understand what is the status. I have tried sending emails to support and also calling support, but no success. What can I do?

Hello, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program but I'm running into an ID verification issue. I'm in Canada and my ids are Canadian but I think my apple account still thinks my region is France (I changed back to Canada a few months ago and it shows Canada in Settings) since I had set it to France for when I was there. Also my phone number is still French. On Mac: my Canadian passport and Canadian driver's license are rejected as not valid for my region. On iPhone: the app just tells me to contact support. I've already reached out to Apple Developer Support but I have had no response for a few days. Is there a fix for this? I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the developer app.

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

I have Xcode 26.1.1 (installed on a Mac Mini with Sequoia 15.7.2), which was installed from the Universal .xip file available from the Apple Developer site. This file is 2.7Gb. When Xcode is run, there is a menu item at Settings -> Components, and the top section "Platform Support" includes an option to "Get" the iOS SDK, which is an additional 10.3Gb download.[1][2] I would like to either use command-line tools to obtain this iOS SDK component, or find where the downloaded package or its contents are installed on this Mac. This Apple Documentation some examples of using command-line tools to download components for Xcode. However, there is no specific documentation on how to separately download the iOS SDK. It seems that if possible, it could be done with "xcodebuild -downloadComponent", however I have tried a number of likely component names (ios, ios_sdk, ios26.1, ios_sdk26.1, iphoneos, iphoneos_sdk, iphoneos_sdk26.1), and none are valid. Does anyone know either where the SDK download can be found, or how to download it using command-line tools? Background: I require this as I am managing a fleet of Mac Minis located in a data centre (used for iOS/Android builds), and Internet access is restricted - any action requiring Internet access needs the Mac to be removed from the machine room racks and taken to a build room, then connected to a mobile hotspot or similar. This access is slow, and the above 10.3Gb download can take over an hour. If I can download the SDK separately, I can distribute it to all of the Macs over the internal network overnight, in advance of visiting the DC for upgrade tasks. [1] Various web sites say that the iOS SDK is "bundled with" Xcode. However, if that's the case a) how is a 10.3Gb download somehow included in a 2.7Gb file? And b) why do I still need to "Get" this component after installing Xcode from the 2.7Gb file? [2] Note that I am not looking for the iOS Simulator, I have already downloaded the iOS 26.1 version of this. I am specifically looking for the iOS SDK as listed under "Platform Support" in the Xcode menu described above.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm seeing a persistent crash in my iOS app reported via Firebase Crashlytics. The issue only started appearing on devices running iOS 26.3.0 and above (the crash does not occur on lower iOS versions, and it's unrelated to my app's version number). Key points: My app does NOT use any Text-to-Speech (TTS) features whatsoever. No AVSpeechSynthesizer, no Speech framework, no related APIs called from our code. My app is primarily written in Objective-C (with some Swift components possibly via dependencies). The crash stack is entirely within Apple's private TextToSpeech framework, specifically in ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance(). I suspect it might be indirectly triggered by a third-party ad SDK (e.g., Google Mobile Ads, AppLovin, etc.) that could be loading or interacting with accessibility features in the background — but this is just a hypothesis, as I have no direct evidence yet. Here is one representative crash log: Crashed: com.apple.root.user-initiated-qos.cooperative 0 TextToSpeech 0x6bb00 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 99800 1 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 2 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 3 TextToSpeech 0x1a0b9c ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 1365620 4 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x628b4 swift::runJobInEstablishedExecutorContext(swift::Job*) + 288 5 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x63d28 swift_job_runImpl(swift::Job*, swift::SerialExecutorRef) + 156 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x13f48 _dispatch_root_queue_drain + 364 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x146fc _dispatch_worker_thread2 + 180 8 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x137c _pthread_wqthread + 232 9 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x8c0 start_wqthread + 8 The crash occurs on a background cooperative queue (Swift Concurrency). Questions: Has anyone else seen crashes inside ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() in TextToSpeech on iOS 26.3.0+ even without using TTS in their app? Could a third-party ad SDK be causing the TextToSpeech framework to load unexpectedly (e.g., via accessibility preloading)? Is this a known bug in iOS 26's Spoken Content / Speak Selection features? Any workarounds or fixes from Apple? Any insights, similar reports (especially from Objective-C based apps), or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I have been getting the following error intermittently (once it happens, then its consistent) when I try to build my app Showing Recent Errors Only Unable to resolve build file: BuildFile<b11862f281fd8c8287d499b4f0922a9c61c95323d2196ba877ed344a02baffbb> (The workspace has a reference to a missing target with GUID '0c7e19da3805e0a412c717704d4549fc25560b498add930cbef9623bd9afb53a') There have been no changes to my project (git status is clean). I have tried cleaning DerivedData as well, but it did not help. How am I supposed to figure out from the GUID what is it that xcode is trying to find?

Hello, I've been searching online for ways to remedy this issue for the past 3 days and this is my last resort. The Issue Build on device fails to connect to the device. The prompt will permanently be stuck loading in that screen. Finder is able to connect to the device, just that Xcode is unable to. Xcode does prompt for passcode on the device, and I have entered it accordingly. I note that i AM on VPN, but even disabling VPN and turning off Wifi does not fix the issue. This was working until several days ago. Not sure what the issue is. Fixes Attempted Tried with a different cable, and USB ports Tried with different devices (multiple devices both iPad and iPhone has the same issue) Turn Off and On developer mode on devices. Clear Trusted Computers on devices. Updating both devices to the latest iOS version. Quitting Xcode Clearing derived cache Restarting Macbook Updating to the latest iOS version on Macbook Reinstalling Xcode toggling signing certificates I was trying other fixes like "pkill usbmuxd", but since I am on corporate hardware, i will be required to escalate it if i require sudo permissions. Is anyone able to provide a concrete solution or explanation why this happens?
