Hello everyone!
When I run UI Tests on Xcode Cloud, I often encounter unexpected failures. Checking the screen recording, I found that the iOS Simulator could go into a black screen with a white Apple logo and a progress bar for a period after the test starts. This behavior of the Simulator causes my app's UI Tests to fail randomly, which greatly affects the practical use of UI Tests.
I suspect this phenomenon is unrelated to my app and test cases, so I'm asking if anyone else has encountered a similar issue. 🤔
Hey everyone, I purchased an Apple Developer Program for 99 USD on January 1 2024, filled out my credit card that I use for iCloud+ storage plan, got my confirmation email that within 48h my developer account should be activated, but it never did. Plus after waiting more than 48h I wrote to support, describing everything, but never heard back from them.
One thing I noticed during the checkout was I was asked for everything (name, address, CC number, expiry date) but not the CVV number. Is this normal, and would Apple be able to process the payment without it?
I though about going through the enrolment process again, but am afraid of a double charge, in case my original enrolment gets accepted... Please advise and share your experiences when enrolling to the developer program. Thanks!
I recently switched to Mac OS 12 and XCode 13. I did some work on my application and rebuilt it. Now there is no Help Book. I didn't change the property lists and everything looks right. When I open the Help Book the application either opens a window with a message that the content is currently unavailable or it opens a Help Book window with no content. When this second thing happens the log window shows "entering AHRegistered help Book" but it doesn't appear. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hello,
we are struggling for hours with the following issue: I have an individual developer account and since yesterday I'm member of developer team with an own organization account.
I have access to an app in the team account as an "App-Manager", also the option "Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" is activated and I can see that it is activated for my account in AppstoreConnect.
In "Apple Developer" I can also see the team and can switch to. But then I do not see the "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" menu entry. Also the team is not showing up in XCode.
What am I missing?
Thanks and regards
Philipp

Workaround
Switching Xcode Cloud workflow to use Xcode 26.1 works around the issue.
Using Xcode 26.2 RC locally works around the issue.
I just submitted a feedback for this (FB9662125) but in the spirit of “share and enjoy”…
The cool new Generate Info.plist File feature in Xcode 13 crashes if you try to put an NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary in your Info.plist file. Here’s a simple repro scenario:
Create a minimal iOS app (no Core Data, no tests)
Go to target settings → Info tab → Custom iOS Target Properties
Click the (+) button on any row to begin inserting a new row
Select Privacy - Location Temporary Usage Description Dictionary
Click somewhere else or press Return to commit the selection
Xcode crashes immediately
More generally, it seems that Xcode crashes any time it tries to regenerate your Info.plist file if it contains an NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary, even if (for example) you manually pasted that dictionary into the file earlier. In that case, merely tapping the (+) button in step 3 above is enough to crash it.
Hi,
I developed an app and trying to publish but at the validation state i'm getting two errors.
The errors as follows:
(1) App record creation failed due to an invalid input. Request failed with the error code "STATE_ERROR.APP_CREATE.PLATFORM_NOT_ALLOWED_DUE_TO_CONTRACT_STATE", and reason "One or more platforms cannot be created for this app due to your provider's contract state. Creation of apps for the platform(s) iOS is not available due to your provider's contract state."
(2) App record creation failed due to an invalid attribute. Request failed with error code "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.REQUIRED", and reason "The provided entity is missing a required attribute You must provide a value for the attribute 'companyName' with this request"
Which inputs and attributes are causing these errors?
Thanks in advance.
I applied for the Apple Developer Program on Jan 29th, but my enrollment is still pending with no updates. This delay is really affecting my project timeline since I need to start my app soon, and I can’t move forward without my account being approved.
I’ve already reached out to Apple Developer Support, but I haven’t gotten any clear response on when it will be completed. tried even calling the support line but they couldn't help with developer accounts. Has anyone else experienced similar delays? If so, how long did it take for your account to get approved?
Would appreciate any advice or insights! Thanks in advance.

I am unable to download the iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime through Xcode 26.1 on macOS 26.1 (Build 25B78).
Issue Details:
When attempting to download via Xcode Settings → Platforms, the download fails with error code 41 (DVTDownloadableErrorDomain) and error code 60 (MADownloadCannotConnectToHost)
The error message states: "Failed fetching catalog for assetType (com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime), serverParameters ({RequestedBuild = 23B80;})"
I receive HTTP 403 Forbidden when accessing mesu.apple.com/assets/
Steps Attempted:
Downloaded via Xcode Settings → Component → iOS 26.1 Simulator
Tried command line: xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS
Searched https://developer.apple.com/download/all/ - iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime not listed
Tested with different networks (home WiFi, VPN, mobile hotspot)
Disabled proxy settings
Flushed DNS cache
All attempts result in the same error.
Important Notes:
Xcode 26.1 shows iOS Simulator SDK 26.1 (Build 23B77) is available
However, Xcode attempts to download Build 23B80, which appears unavailable
I experienced a similar issue previously with Xcode 16.4 requesting iOS 18.4 Simulator Runtime, which was also unavailable for download
Impact:
Without the iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime, I cannot develop or test iOS applications. macOS 26.1 requires Xcode 26.1, which in turn requires iOS 26.1 runtime, leaving me unable to perform any iOS development work.
Questions:
Is iOS 26.1 Simulator Runtime (Build 23B80) officially released?
Is there a direct download link available?
Should Xcode 26.1 be requesting Build 23B77 instead of 23B80?
Is there any account restriction preventing me from downloading newer simulator runtimes?
System Information:
macOS: 26.1 (Build 25B78)

I created new MacOS project and added a Xcode Source Editor Extension target to the project.
I run the extension in debug mode with extension target, but the extension is not show up in Editor menu debug mode Xcode.
Xcode version is 15.3(released)
MacOS version is 14.4.1 Sonoma
Opened a FB already (FB20928652) but wanted to check here if anybody has seen similar or has better workarounds.
xcresulttool merge appears to crash immediately after launch in Xcode 26.1 (and in 26.2b1).
It does so regardless of any inputs passed in; the crash appears to be during argument parsing before any other logic is run, so it's not contingent on inputs.
Working example from 26.0.1 (passing in arbitrary strings for a minimum-reproducible-case, so we expect to see an error message) :
% /Applications/Xcode-26.0.1.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge --output-path a b c
Error: File or directory doesn't exist at path: b.
Usage: xcresulttool <subcommand>
See 'xcresulttool --help' for more information.
The same example crashes in 26.1:
/Applications/Xcode-26.1.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge --output-path a b c
zsh: trace trap /Applications/Xcode-26.1.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge
Again, this does crash in real use cases as well, the arbitrary strings are just for quick reproduction.
The stack trace appears to be during argument parsing (which from a quick look, did indeed change between 26.0.1 and 26.1). On 26.1+, garbage data seemingly gets passed to AbsolutePath.init.

frame #6: 0x00000001804d5d54 dyld`start + 7184
The only workaround we've found is to keep using 26.0.1's copy of xcresulttool, though that's obviously not ideal.
I'm currently using another provider for CI/CD. They've been offering Apple Silicon builds for over a year now. When we switched over, we saw our build times cut in half. I've seen similar results locally, back when I bought an M1 Mac.
So, recently, I tried to use Xcode Cloud on my project. My build time is nearly 45 minutes, where my build time on my current system is about 15 minutes, max.
Since I work on a team, and we make regular commits, having a 45 minute turnaround is not ideal. When I looked at the logs of my Xcode Cloud project, I saw a lot "x86_64" stuff in there, which led me to believe that Xcode Cloud is still building on Intel machines.
Additionally, I run tests on my builds. The build time alone (before running tests) was almost 20 minutes. The 15-minute time I cited with my current CI/CD included build time & tests running. So, a whole cycle finishes on my current setup before tests are even run.
I noticed that there was a bunch of x86_64 in the logs, which made me think that Xcode Cloud is still using Intel. Is this true? I've just gotten really used to faster build times, and I can't move onto a system like this, where the times are so drastically different. Like, I wouldn't mind build time that would add only a few more minutes to what I have now. But going from 15 -> 45 minutes is a real problem.
My MBP M1 Pro gets really hot. iOS 26.1 Simulator in Xcode 26.1 makes ReportCrash process run at 60-160% of CPU shows Activity Monitor.
MacOS 26.1. I've reported this via Feedback Assistant: FB20918609.
Is there a way to quit this process permanently? When I Force Quit this it opens again immediately. Only way to stop it is to quit Simulator. But then again, I need to use the Simulator.
I have had this notice for a while: Registration is being processed for these devices. They may become available for development and ad hoc distribution in 24 to 72 hours. Changes to device availability will appear in the Status column.
The status for my new iPhone has been stuck in this "Processing" state. See image:
It is gone from where I used to find it on Apple’s web site. Is it deprecated or no longer available?
Xcode 26.2 RC has been out for over 24 hours and it's still not possible to submit apps.
Xcode Cloud builds are hanging forever at the final step, Prepare Build for App Store Connect. This is a common issue that requires some fix in Cupertino.
Reporting this in the afternoon of Jan 13, Pacific Time.

Body:
I am writing to report an ongoing issue with the Apple Developer Program enrollment process specifically affecting developers in India, along with significant concerns about Apple's support responsiveness in this region.
Issue Summary:
I have been attempting to enroll in the paid Apple Developer Program ($99/year) using the Apple Developer app on my iPhone for the past 4 days. Every enrollment attempt results in the following errors:
"Unknown Error - Please try again"
"Invalid Request - Service mapping to the requested URL is not available"
My Setup (All Verified Correct):
Apple ID Region: India
Trusted Phone Number: +91 (India country code, matching my Apple ID region)
Two-Factor Authentication: Enabled (genuine 2FA, not two-step verification)
2FA Devices: iPhone, MacBook Pro devices, and trusted phone number all verified
Account Information: Legal name, address, date of birth, and email all updated and verified on account.apple.com
Device: iPhone 17 Pro running latest iOS
Troubleshooting Attempted:
I have completed every troubleshooting step suggested by the community and by Apple Support myself:
✅ Verified genuine Two-Factor Authentication is enabled
✅ Confirmed Apple ID region matches trusted phone number region (+91)
✅ Updated all personal information (legal name, address, email) on account.apple.com
✅ Force restarted iPhone multiple times
✅ Uninstalled and reinstalled Apple Developer app
✅ Signed out and signed back in with correct Apple ID
✅ Tested on both WiFi and cellular data
✅ Waited 48+ hours between attempts
None of these steps resolved the issue.
Support Response Issues:
This is where my frustration peaks. I have attempted to contact Apple Support multiple ways:
Phone Support: Shows "Phone support is currently unavailable" (though it was available last week)
Email Support: Submitted via developer.apple.com/support → No response for 4 days
Previous Contact: Had contacted support last week, but the troubleshooting steps provided did not resolve the issue
Current Status: No follow-up communication or resolution path from Apple
Known Issue in India - Why This Matters:
I have researched this extensively and found multiple threads in this forum (dating back months) with developers in India reporting identical errors during enrollment. To date, I have not found a single resolved thread with a working solution. This indicates:
This is a documented, recurring issue affecting Indian developers specifically
Apple appears to have backend infrastructure issues specific to India
Support has not provided a resolution path despite multiple reports
The Real Problem:
Apple's Developer Program enrollment system appears to have specific bugs or limitations that prevent developers in India from successfully enrolling, yet:
Support responsiveness is severely lacking
There is no documented workaround or known resolution
The support team seems unaware of or unprepared to handle this region-specific issue
My Request:
Acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue affecting India-based developers
A concrete resolution path (whether manual backend enablement, account review, or system fix)
Expected timeline for resolution:
Improved support responsiveness - Developers deserve answers, not silence
Additional Context:
I am ready to provide screen recordings of the exact error
I have all the necessary documentation (identity verification, address proof, etc.)
I am willing to complete any additional verification steps
I simply need clear communication and a path forward
I have been developing for iOS and want to contribute to the Apple ecosystem. However, this enrollment barrier is preventing me from doing so. Apple's support infrastructure for India needs improvement, and this issue needs attention.
If any Apple team member is monitoring this forum, please escalate this issue. Indian developers deserve better support and communication.
