Hi @DTS Engineer
in tvOS 26.2 Beta is still this annoying Shadow Glitch… 😔
I have submitted an Bug-Report, but dont get an Answer… FB18719371
The Animation is not smooth and the Shadow is abruptly „jumping“…
I don’t get any Response from the Apple Engineers. But this GUI Glitch makes the otherwise very high-quality tvOS GUI appear very unprofessional.
Could you please help me? 🤔

So i and many other big youtubers out there use iphones for intense gaming such as callcof duty and fortnite. However apple never listens especially to those of us that have been your guys's clients since the early 2000's. Users have different guinsetups for their games and a lot of the time when in an intense conpetition and the the low battery animation pops up it blocks our screens and that 3 to 4 seconds it takes to disappear makes us lose a game. Apple needs to implement a feature that allows us to toggle the notification even if our phone dies or a more efficient route would be allow us to toggle or set it by default to show that your battery is low on the top of the screen where the black line expands when you start charging your phone so it doesn't affect my gameplay whatsoever. This is a crucial thing apple needs to do, many people won't report it because apple never listens. Another great feature would be if apple could make a charging port on the side for claw players.
Please help. I purchased an Apple Developer account subscription through the iPhone app. It's listed in the App Store, but it's not listed in Apple Developer itself. I've been waiting for a response from support for over a week, but it's as if they've completely forgotten about me; no one's responding. Although, in fact, it says two days ago. Has anyone else encountered this and can help? It's asking me to pay a second time, and through the website.

Hello,
I'm having a serious problem registering for the Apple Developer Program, and I can't resolve it.
I applied over two weeks ago, but I still haven't received an activation email. I've also tried using different credit cards, suspecting there might be a problem with my payment method.
The main issues are as follows:
My order/registration remains in the "processing" status,
I haven't received an activation email,
Apple Developer Program support isn't responding.
I've already sent over seven emails to support, but haven't received any response or updates.
Has anyone else encountered a similar situation?

Hello Apple Developer Technical Support team,
We have an iOS app that provides caller identification via a Call Directory extension (CXCallDirectoryProvider). Our extension provides identification entries (phone number → label), and users enable it in Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification.
We would like to confirm whether Call Directory is used only for incoming calls, and understand why the outgoing call UI sometimes shows labels.
Observed behavior
Incoming calls:
After a user logs in again (which triggers a server sync and then reloads the Call Directory extension), the caller label is shown correctly on the incoming call screen for matching numbers.
Outgoing calls:
In general, the outgoing call screen often shows only the phone number (no label), even when the same number exists in our identification entries and the extension is enabled.
However, on some devices, the outgoing call screen does show a label even when the number is not saved in the local Contacts app.
In at least one customer case, the outgoing label behavior changed after an iOS update: before updating iOS, labels were not shown on outgoing calls; after updating iOS, labels started appearing (with no changes in our app settings/config).
Questions
Is the Phone app expected to consult Call Directory identification entries only for incoming calls (caller ID), and not for outgoing call UI?
If labels can appear on outgoing calls, what are the possible sources and rules (e.g., Recents cache, carrier Name Display/CNAM, other system caches), and is any of that behavior documented?
Are there known iOS version changes or issues that could explain “outgoing label not shown” becoming “outgoing label shown” after an OS update?
We can provide:
A minimal repro project, steps to reproduce, and exact iOS versions/devices
Screenshots/video
sysdiagnose / device logs (please advise what log types are most useful)
Thank you,

As the title says, in apple developer site under (Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles) all my devices are set to inactive, and I cannot enable them back because my twices are glitched I have 2 devices and they are there twice each with the same UDID. So I cannot enable a single one. I’m hit with
“A device with number 'UDID number' already exists on this team.” I have an iPad Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, I cannot sign any apps to them at all or do anything because my devices are set to inactive, I’ve contacted apple numerous times, and I can’t seem to get any help regarding this issue. I’ve called and emailed, and the developer team has yet to respond to me, if anyone’s had this issue please tell me how you solved it.
i also cannot erase any devices myself until my renewal date.
ive tried manually adding my devices, and its the same message that my devices already exist on team. Ive signed out of my apple account on my devices, changed pw, turned off developer mode and renabled it numerous times, I really don’t know what to do.

Hi everyone,
I’m new to the Apple Developer side of things and I want to make sure I’m handling this correctly.
I hired a freelance iOS developer to build my app. I have my own Apple Developer account (Individual), and I want the app published under my account.
The developer says he needs me to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), then he will generate the distribution certificate on his end and send me the .cer file back. From there, he would use that for signing and submitting the app.
My questions:
1. Is this the correct and modern way to handle app signing?
2. Should I instead just add him to my App Store Connect account with Developer access and let him manage signing through Xcode? Dev claims this won’t work, which I haven’t been able to prove or disprove. ChatGPT says it does,but other AI tools says it doesn’t.
3. Is there any risk in sharing certificates like this?
4. What is considered best practice in 2026 for working with freelancers while keeping full control of the account?
My goal is simple:
• The app stays fully under my Apple Developer account.
• I retain long term control.
• The developer can build and submit without needing my Apple ID or password.
I’m not trying to make things complicated, I just want to do this the right way and avoid issues later.
Thanks in advance.

I've requested app development and am currently publishing it, but I can't contact the app development company and am unable to pay the annual fee to Apple. I don't know my registered account, so what should I do? I contacted Apple Japan, but they only handle personal inquiries and cannot handle business app development requests, so they suggested I post a question on this website. Thank you in advance.
Environment:
Device: MacBook Pro (Mac16,7)
Chip: M4 Pro (SoC ID 6040, Revision 11)
OS: macOS 15.2 (24C101)
Kernel: Darwin Kernel Version 24.2.0; root:xnu-11215.61.5~2/RELEASE_ARM64_T6041
Summary:
I am developing a Windows emulator on the MacBook Pro M4 Pro platform. During testing with certain applications, the system frequently triggers an instantaneous reboot. This issue appears to be highly specific to the M4 Pro hardware and current OS version.
Observation & Diagnostic Challenges:
Upon reboot, the system generates a bug_type 210 (SoC Watchdog Reset) report. The panic string indicates: "Unexpected SoC (system) watchdog reset occurred after panic diagnostics were completed".
The primary difficulty in debugging is that the hardware reset happens so rapidly that the kernel fails to capture a stackshot or any detailed panic trace. We have practically no actionable information from the standard diagnostic reports.
However, we did find the following recurring entries in the system log prior to the resets:
Ignored NI0 NI0 niGeneral 1 NO_ACCESS error (0x00000010) cmd/st:0x14(ncrdincr)... srcchildid/srcparentid:0x8ea/0x1d
Comparison & Testing:
We have performed extensive cross-version and cross-device testing to isolate the cause:
M1/M2 Series: Identical tests on M1 and M2 devices running macOS 15 do not trigger this issue. The applications run stably.
OS Versions: Interestingly, this issue seems significantly harder to reproduce on newer system builds (e.g., version 26 series), suggesting it might be a regression or a specific incompatibility in the current macOS 15.2 environment for M4 Pro.
Request for Assistance:
Since we cannot collect stack traces through conventional means, we are seeking your expertise:
Known Issues: Has Apple received similar reports from other developers working on low-level emulation or virtualization on M4 Pro? Is this a known issue in macOS 15.2 / build 24C101?
Debugging Guidance: Given that the system reboots without leaving a stackshot, what are the recommended methods to capture more granular data? Are there specific boot-args or instrumentation tools that can help log the state of the SoC fabric (NI0) before the watchdog kicks in?
Architectural Insights: Based on the NI0 NO_ACCESS error and srcchildid: 0x8ea, could you suggest which subsystem or memory operation we should investigate further?

Hi, I have a big suggestion for the next update!
My suggestion is to upgrade the call filtering system :
- “Block suspicious calls”
It automatically block numbers that are likely to be unwanted or spam. These calls should not ring, should not appear in the call history, and should be silently discarded.
- “Block unknown callers/hidden numbers”
Instead of receiving a call from a hidden or unknown caller and seeing it appear in the missed calls list, the call should be completely blocked and not recorded at all, no notification, no sight of call.
- “Filter numbers that are not from contacts”
If the same unknown number calls too frequently within a week and the user never answers (for example 10 times per day, or 5 times per day if considered suspicious or too much spam in a little time), the iPhone should automatically block this number.
The device would display a message such as: “This number has called too many times and has been automatically blocked for 3 day(or 1 week).” The block could also apply to the entire IP range or source associated with the unknown caller.
It is very helpful for most of unwanted calls.

Hello,
My app update was rejected under Guideline 2.3.4 (Accurate Metadata) with the note that the app preview includes “framing around the video screen capture.”
Apple attached four images to the review. I reviewed them carefully, and they appear to show full screen gameplay without borders or visible background. I am attaching two of those images here for reference.
I am trying to understand what Apple might be interpreting as “framing” in this case. Has anyone encountered a similar rejection where the preview looked full screen but was still flagged?
Any insight into what reviewers typically expect or what subtle issues might trigger this would be very helpful.
Thank you.
