Hi DTS / Apple engineers, We’re attempting to extending our screen time app target to Mac Catalyst. On iOS, FamilyControls works as expected (AuthorizationCenter + FamilyActivityPicker, then ManagedSettings shields + DeviceActivity monitoring/reporting). On Mac Catalyst: The project builds with FamilyControls/DeviceActivity/ManagedSettings capabilities enabled. But attempting to request FamilyControls authorization (or present FamilyActivityPicker) fails at runtime. We see errors similar to: Failed to get service proxy: The connection to service named com.apple.FamilyControlsAgent was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction. And our app stays authorizationStatus == .notDetermined, with the request failing. We saw an Apple engineer suggestion to “disable App Sandbox”, but Mac Catalyst apps appear to always be sandboxed, so we can’t disable it. Questions: Is FamilyControls authorization supported on Mac Catalyst today? If so, what entitlement/capability is required specifically for Catalyst/macOS? If FamilyControls auth cannot succeed on Catalyst, does that mean ManagedSettings shields and DeviceActivity monitoring/reporting are effectively unusable on Catalyst (since they depend on that authorization)? Is there an Apple‑recommended approach for a Catalyst “portal” app that mirrors an iOS child device’s restrictions, or is local enforcement on Catalyst intentionally unsupported? Any guidance (and any official docs that clarify current platform support) would be hugely appreciated.

We purchased an Apple Developer Program membership on 20th January, and even after nearly one month, the account is still not activated. The Apple Developer app continues to display “You will receive an email soon,” but we have not received any communication from Apple so far. This is a first-time subscription, and the prolonged activation delay is impacting our development and release timelines. We would appreciate clarification on the reason for this delay and guidance on the next steps.

Hello, I am experiencing an authentication issue when submitting my Expo iOS app to App Store Connect using the Expo EAS CLI from the terminal. The exact flow is as follows: I run the submit command in the terminal. I am prompted to enter my Apple ID. After entering the Apple ID, I am prompted to enter my Apple ID password. After the password is accepted, I am prompted to enter a 6-digit verification code. I receive the 6-digit code immediately via SMS or phone call. I enter the code correctly and immediately, but the CLI always returns “Invalid code.” This happens every time. Important notes: The Apple ID and password are correct. The 6-digit code is entered immediately and exactly as received. Logging in to App Store Connect via a web browser with the same Apple ID, password, and SMS code works without any issue. The problem only occurs when authenticating through the terminal using Expo EAS CLI. Could you please advise why the verification code is being rejected in the CLI and how I can successfully authenticate and submit my app?

Hi. I'm trying to show 3D or AR content in multiple pages on an iOS app but I have found that if a RealityView is used earlier in a flow then future uses will never display the camera feed, even if those earlier uses do not use any spatial tracking. For example, in the following simplified view, the second page realityView will not display the camera feed even though the first view does not use it not start a tracking session. struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { RealityView { content in content.camera = .virtual // showing model skipped for brevity } NavigationLink("Second Page") { RealityView { content in content.camera = .spatialTracking } } } } } } What is the way around this so that 3D content can be displayed in multiple places in the app without preventing AR content from working? I have also found the same problem when wrapping an ARView for use in SwiftUI.

Hi all, I am experiencing an error when attempting to pay for apple developer program "Your payment authorisation failed on card •••XXXX. Please verify your information and try again, or try another payment method." I have tried multiple payment methods and even another bank, Apple wont let me pay with apple pay in my region (AUS). Any suggestions?

I'm experiencing an issue with the Analytics Reports API. Since last week, no data is being returned from the following endpoint: https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/analyticsReports/r2-ac29debd-e528-406d-bdfa-fab6d4403ee2/instances The endpoint responds successfully but returns empty data for the date range where data should exist. Other report endpoints for the same app work correctly. Please investigate why this report stopped delivering data.

Dear Apple Developer Program Legal/Compliance Team, I am writing in response to the termination notice regarding my Apple Developer Program account, in which Apple cites an alleged violation of Section 3.2(f) of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (ADP Agreement), based on “documented indications of fraudulent conduct.” I respectfully request formal clarification and detailed information regarding this determination, as I take compliance obligations under Apple’s agreements very seriously. Specifically, I kindly request the following: Clarification of Alleged Conduct Please specify the exact actions, behaviors, or activities that Apple has determined to constitute a violation of Section 3.2(f), including the category of conduct involved (e.g., technical interference, platform misuse, fraudulent activity, distribution abuse, business practice violations, or other). Scope and Nature of the Evidence Without requesting disclosure of sensitive internal systems, I respectfully ask for clarification regarding the general nature of the evidence relied upon (e.g., transactional records, system logs, behavioral patterns, policy violations, or platform integrity signals). Account-Level vs. Application-Level Issues Please confirm whether the alleged violation relates to: A specific application or applications, Account-level activity, Distribution mechanisms (TestFlight, Custom App Distribution, Ad Hoc, etc.), Or external operational behavior associated with the developer account. Opportunity for Rectification or Compliance Remediation Kindly advise whether Apple provides any compliance remediation pathway, corrective action mechanism, or review process for cases involving Section 3.2(f), including: Formal reconsideration or appeal procedures, Regulatory complaint mechanisms, Compliance audit or corrective action submissions, Reinstatement eligibility criteria. Reapplication and Cooling-Off Period Requirements Please clarify the conditions, requirements, and compliance expectations associated with the stated reapplication restriction period, including whether specific remediation steps, certifications, or compliance documentation may be required prior to any future eligibility review. My intent is to fully understand the nature of the determination, ensure full legal and contractual compliance, and clarify whether any formal resolution or review mechanisms exist under Apple’s policies or applicable platform regulations. I respectfully request that this inquiry be handled through the appropriate legal or compliance review channel. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jiuru Song [Team ID / Developer ID if available]8DJDU79WZ7 [Company Name, if applicable]ASIA DIGITAL ALLIANCE PTE. LTD.

Hi all, I’m stuck on a WidgetKit/SwiftUI layout issue. I have a systemMedium widget that shows a block of text. What I want is simple: The text should be as large as possible But it must always fully fit inside the widget No ellipsis (“…”) Short text → big font Longer text → shrink only as much as needed The problem: when I try to make the font larger, the widget often shows only a couple of words and then “…” (or it looks like it’s truncating/clipping), even though I’m using multiline text (lineLimit(nil) etc.). If I keep a small fixed font size, the entire text shows fine — so the input string isn’t truncated. I tried a few approaches: ViewThatFits seeing which font size fits minimumScaleFactor Measuring with NSAttributedString.boundingRect + binary search to calculate the biggest font size that should fit But WidgetKit still behaves inconsistently and I can’t get a reliable “largest size that fits” result. Is there a recommended, production-safe way to do this in WidgetKit? Also: can a SwiftUI Text still end up showing “…” in a widget even with .lineLimit(nil) when it’s constrained vertically? Thanks in advance — any pointers or known patterns would really help.

I need to detect whether a view controller is presented in a popover or in fullscreen mode, as on iPhone. I checked viewController.popoverPresentationController but it returns a non-nil value even on iPhone, when it's clearly not in a popover. I then checked viewController.presentationController?.adaptivePresentationStyle but it returns .formSheet even when it's presented in a popover!?! Why? This whole adaptive presentation thingie is a mess. Heck, viewController.presentationController returns _UIPageSheetPresentationController even when the view controller is in a UINavigationController, so not presented at all. Anybody got any ideas?

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

Starting on 1/30/2026, we started getting an error when using Reporter to retrieve a Subscriber/Sales report from App Store Connect. Our script was working daily perfectly for a long time before this. It normally pulls the report from 1 day prior. We have been troubleshooting and cannot seem to find any issues on our end. Is this a universal issue for other users too?

Is there a way to create a grocery list in swift programmatically? With color and icon? I mean the new Reminders.app v7.0 features. I don't find code or guide in the dev documentation.

We're trying to implement Cross-domain session check for SSO by making CORS request. is Intelligent Tracking Prevention blocks all cookies in CORS requests? I saw all cookies are blocked in CORS requests. We are not able to check the auth session in source domain. Are there anyway to bypass this without user interaction? benefitier.com -> source.com

Summary: We are facing a serious issue on iPhone where multiple passkey authentication problems occur when accessing passkey-enabled login pages via shortcuts placed on the iPhone Home Screen. These issues may also occur when opening the same pages directly in a standard browser window. However, launching the login pages from a Home Screen shortcut appears to increase the likelihood of encountering these issues. Affected Services (examples, not exhaustive): Amazon GitHub Adobe Observed Issues: Issue 1: A passkey authentication dialog/popup shows two times without any user operation: What happens due to this issue: Login does not complete after the first passkey authentication. A second passkey authentication UI automatically appears. Completing or canceling the second authentication allows the login to proceed. Issue 2: Login remains stuck until the user manually invokes passkey again What happens due to this issue: The login page does not advance after the first authentication. The user must tap the ID/username field again to manually trigger the passkey UI. Completing the second authentication enables login. Issue 3: Automatic second authentication occurs, but login still fails What happens due to this issue: A second automatic authentication UI appears. Login still does not complete. Tapping the ID field no longer opens the passkey UI; instead, the password auto-fill panel appears. Passkey login becomes impossible. Observed reproduction steps (not guaranteed but most consistently observed): On iPhone, navigate to a passkey-enabled login page (e.g., Amazon, GitHub, Adobe) using a browser. Create a shortcut from the browser's share menu and place it on the Home Screen. Launch the login page from the Home Screen shortcut. Tap the ID/username field to invoke the passkey prompt. Complete passkey authentication. → One of the issues described above occurs. Environment: Device: iPhone SE OS: iOS 18.6.2

Our children's educational app (COPPA-compliant) was rejected under Guidelines 5.1.1(i) and 5.1.2(i) for sharing personal data with a third-party AI service without clear disclosure and user permission. How our app works: Our app is an AI-powered learning assistant for kids. Children type questions (e.g., "Why is the sky blue?") and the app sends the question to Google Gemini's API to generate an age-appropriate answer. This is the core and only purpose of the app — it's an AI chat app, similar to how a search engine sends queries to its servers. Our current setup: Google Gemini operates as a data processor (not a data recipient) — zero data retention, no model training on user data Our privacy policy already discloses Google Gemini as the AI provider, what data is processed, and that no data is stored The app is clearly marketed as an AI-powered assistant — users understand they are interacting with AI Our questions: Infrastructure vs. data sharing: We use Google Gemini to process queries the same way we use Google Sign-In for authentication, MongoDB Atlas for our database, and Railway for hosting. In all cases, user data passes through a third-party service to provide core functionality. Is the expectation that AI services require additional consent beyond what's expected for other third-party infrastructure services? If so, what distinguishes them? 2. Minimum consent implementation: If in-app consent is required, what constitutes sufficient "explicit permission"? Specifically: - Is a simple alert dialog (similar to the ATT prompt) with "Allow" / "Not Now" before first use sufficient? - Or is a more detailed consent screen with checkboxes/toggles required? - Since our app's sole purpose is AI-powered Q&A, what should happen if the user taps "Not Now"? The app cannot function without the AI service. 3. Privacy policy disclosure: Our privacy policy already identifies Google Gemini by name, describes what data is sent (child's questions, name, and age for personalization), and explains Google's zero-retention policy. Is updating the privacy policy alone sufficient, or is a separate in-app consent mechanism always required under 5.1.2(i)? 4. Children's apps specifically: Since parents set up the app (behind a parental gate), should the consent be presented to the parent during setup, or does it need to appear elsewhere? Any guidance on the minimum compliant implementation would be greatly appreciated. We want to get this right. Thank you.

I’m a normie: not a developer at all. My idea might be super dumb. Would it be possible to please let us have a button in iphone photos that when toggled allows us to save certain chosen raw images to an iphone block chain, AND have Apple authenticate they are native photos, marked the milisecond they were taken, that they are native and no AI was used on those images? That might go a long way toward restoring trust in truth in photos again. We could also have the same thing for AI. Marked notification in the data on AI photos that can't be erased. Sorry if this is already underway and I'm just a normal person and therefore don't know it. I just want to be able to trust things again. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Overview I have the following view hierarchy that mixes SwiftUI and UIKit: AccordionView └─ VStack ├─ Text ├─ Button └─ UIViewRepresentable └─ UIStackView ├─ UILabel └─ UILabel When tapping the button, the UIViewRepresentable hides and shows its content. This all works as expected. However, in certain circumstances the view's sizing is rendered with the correct size, but the text can often render incorrectly, despite the frame seemingly looking as though it has enough room to render the text. More info Below you can see the UILabel has the correct frame height (the light grey background and coloured borders) but the text is rendered as though it has infinite width along one line. There's a few configurations of my view hierarchy that seem to have this effect. I've added a playground to the bottom of this post of various configurations to show what does and doesn't work, just copy and paste to see for yourself... It seems of the ones that don't work, there's a couple of reasons why that may be: HostedView and TextViewContainer do not do the following (I think we only need to do one of these things for auto layout/stack views to work effectively): a) implement an intrinsic content size b) return a 'good' size for systemLayoutSizeFitting(). UIHostingController shouldn't use intrinsic size (although I'm sure it should) Something related to setting setContentCompressionResistancePriority() or setContentHuggingPriority() but having played about with this it doesn't seem relevant here... I've played around with everything I can think of here but can't find a solution that works for all, although I'm 99% sure it's one or all of the points above. If there are any UIKit gurus out there that can help that would be great! Ive already spent so much time on this 🫨 Playground Swift Playground
