Xcode 26 Butchers Productivity by Making Global the State of Navigators Pane
Here's the text of FB22008758 I've just submitted: Xcode 26 changed the behavior of the Navigators pane (which hopefully is a bug and not an intended behavior). in Xcode 26, if I close (or open) the Navigators pane in a window tab, it closes (or opens) the Navigators pane in ALL window tabs. This is insanely horrible, unproductive, time-wasting behavior that breaks workflows that has been established for many years (I've been using Xcode since 2006). By way of example: In a window tab that contains a .xib, I prefer the Navigators pane to be closed. While in all other window tabs (that contain code files and other items), I want the Navigators pane to be always displayed. Before Xcode 26, the Navigators pane was open or closed in each individual window tab as the user desired. But in Xcode 26, if I close the Navigators pane in one window tab, the pane closes EVERYWHERE. Thus when, for example, I go to a .xib window tab, I have to close the Navigators pane AGAIN. But then when I go back to a code window tab, I have to OPEN the Navigators pane there (because it became closed globally). And have to do this endlessly every day. WHY??? Please restore the normal, pre-26 behavior of the Navigators pane. That is, the Navigators pane should remain open or closed as PER INDIVIDUAL WINDOW TAB, not globally. Thank you for your attention to this important issue!

Broken autocomplete in Xcode 26
Xcode 16 and 26 changes in painful way how the Tab key works during autocomplete. Previously, pressing Tab would extend the typed text up to the word match. For example, we have two classes: NSViewController and NSViewCoordinator BEFORE, typing: "NSV" + Tab used to complete to NSViewCo Now, in Xcode 26, pressing Tab just use the first suggestion. Stupidly. Especially when you want DispatchQueue and it gaves you DispatchSemaphore… That is very inconvenient because very often I want just see all possible cases with some prefix...without need of typing all prefix manually. How to restore the previous behavior? How to do autocomplete word-by-word?

I'am porting my App to Swift 6...
... and I managed to fix most issues coming out, but for a specific issue in an class adopting a protocol; basically it is a support class to be used by the view controller and so I wanted to keep it in background, so I created a new actor and I wanted to use it for this protocol and adopting classes. Yet I came out with a host of errors I have no idea about how to cope with: :

Playgrounds app with the latest SDK (OS 26)
I am preparing for Swift Student Challenge, but it seems like the iPad Playground app still not support the latest SDK. I can't use frameworks like FoundationModel, etc., directly in playground app My playground for this year would require iPad environment since it uses PencilKit, ARKit, etc., and I also want to use the latest tech + the liquid glass UI Right now, I develop the project as a normal Xcode project, and I am wondering how do I post it? As Xcode playground, it must run on macOS As Swift Playground project, the iPad version of Playground does not support latest APIs and it can't compile

Foundation Models support in Swift Playgrounds | SSC26
Hello. I'm building my Swift Student Challenge Project. But I noticed that the FoundationModels Framework isn't supported in Swift Playgrounds. My app uses ARKit, so it definitely should be tested on real device. So, is it possible to somehow implement a foundation models to my Swift Playgrounds app? Or is it possible to ask judges to test the app on real device launching it from xcode. Your answer is really important for because the functionality of my app directly depends on Foundation Models availability. Thank you!

Membership renewal
Hello. My developer membership is expired. I cannot renew because the renewal option/button does not appears in any device. A banner tells me: "Any apps you had on the App Store are no longer available for download and you can no longer access membership benefits. If you’d like to renew your membership to reinstate your apps and membership benefits, open the Apple Developer app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Sign in to your account, tap/click Renew, and follow the prompts.If you agreed to the Paid Applications Agreement, you’ll need to agree to it again after renewal in the Agreements, Tax and Banking section of App Store Connect." However, there's no "Renew" to tap or click anywhere in the app nor in the web. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Is dtrace & dtruss supported on current macOS?
When I try to run dtruss on a command line program (freshclam) I see: $ sudo dtruss -a /usr/local/bin/freshclam 2>&1 | tee ~/tmp/dtruss.out dtrace: system integrity protection is on, some features will not be available dtrace: failed to execute /usr/local/bin/freshclam: DTrace cannot instrument translated processes I did some research and found advice on how to enable dtrace use via running: csrutil enable --without dtrace in a terminal running in macOS recovery mode. When I do that I see a warning saying this is an unsupported configuration and that it will allow unsigned kernel modules to be loaded. This is not what I want, I just want to run dtruss on a program while keeping all the other SIP protections in place. Why can't I just use sudo to grant the privileges for dtrace to work? All of this has me wondering if Apple intends for developers to use dtruss/dtrace in the current macOS?

Pending Developer Program
Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on February 10th, 2026. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership”. It’s now been close to two weeks and I already contacted Apple Support by email but unfortunately no actions has been made. I’d like to know if other developers have experienced the same situation and how long it took before their account was activated. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback! Also if theres an Apple Support team here, my case ID is 102827774601 — Fendy

Unable to Enroll in Developer Program
I've tried to enroll in the developer program 8 days ago. I've submitted contact forms for email response. I've called customer support and they've told me there is no way to actually talk to Developer support outside of filing for a contact us form via the contact us option here in Apple Developer. Today I went to check the status and all of the recent issues I've had are gone. I paid for the membership to Apple Developer program. I have not been emailed or called or contacted in anyway and I still have the option to enroll in the Apple developer program but why would I continue over and over again and throw money away after it? I have my app built and ready for Weatherkit integration and testing but I can't access the resources due to not being enrolled in an active developer program. I literally do not know anywhere else to go for help. What am I supposed to do from here?

Apple Developer Program payment completed but membership not activated
Hello everyone, I’m looking for some guidance to see if anyone has experienced a similar issue with the Apple Developer Program membership. About one week ago, I completed the payment for the membership. I received an email with the subject: We’re processing your order Wxxxxxxxxxx That email included the order details and cost, and shortly after that, I also received the CFDI invoice for the payment, so the charge appears to have been completed successfully. However, up to now: I have not received any membership confirmation email The membership does not appear under Subscriptions in my Apple ID It is not active in the Apple Developer app On the Apple Developer website, I still see the usual message as if the membership was not purchased: “Purchase your membership to continue your enrollment. Buy today” I understand Apple mentions that the purchase may take up to 48 hours to process, but it has now been more than a week with no changes. Has anyone else encountered this situation? Is it normal to receive the invoice but not have the membership activated? Would you recommend contacting Apple Developer Support at this point? Thanks in advance for any help or shared experiences.

Member has access to App Store Connect but no access to the Apple Developer Program on the same team
I am enrolled in an individual account and have the appropriate previliges on the App Store Connect portal. However upon trying to access the Certificates page, it presents an error message "Unable to find a team with the given Team ID 'to which you belong" My question is, is it possible while adding me to the team, it could possibly only have added me on the App Store Connect portal only and not also on the Apple Developer? How would I be explicitly added also through the Apple Developer account?

Enrollment Paid but Dashboard Still Shows "Subscribe Your Membership"
Case ID: 102824029037 Hi,Like many other complaints in Feb 2026 forum threads, I enrolled as Individual on Feb 15, 2026. Payment was successfully charged and I received the invoice. However, the dashboard still shows "Subscribe your membership" / "Complete your purchase". No activation/confirmation email has arrived, and I can't access Certificates or add my Team in Xcode. I've contacted support multiple times (requested phone call), but no reply yet. This is delaying my product launch – I need an immediate solution or timeline for activation. Thanks for helping

Apple Developer Enrollment Pending for Over One Month After Payment – No Response to Support Case
Hello Apple Developer Support Team, I am looking for guidance regarding a prolonged Apple Developer Program enrollment issue and would appreciate any advice from the community or Apple Developer Support team. I created an Individual Apple Developer account on 10 January 2026 and completed the payment successfully on 11 January 2026. Since then, the enrollment status has remained pending, and I am still unable to access App Store Connect, create certificates, or manage identifiers. Here is what I have already completed from my side:
• Verified my Apple ID with Two-Factor Authentication enabled
• Submitted all required information and provided proper documents during enrollment
• Checked for any pending agreements or additional actions in the developer portal
• Opened an official support case via Apple Developer Contact Support
• Followed up multiple times on the same case Unfortunately, it has now been more than one month, and there has been no response or update from the Apple Developer Support team, while the account remains in pending status. I kindly request guidance from the community and, if possible, visibility from Apple Developer Support regarding the following:
• Is there any direct escalation process for enrollment issues?
• Are there alternative ways to contact Apple when a support case remains unanswered?
• Could there be any additional verification steps that are not visible in the portal? Any professional advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I cannot find the "Renew" button in the Developer app for iOS
Hi everyone, My Apple Developer Program membership expired back in September 2025. I am trying to renew it now (February), but the "Renew" button is completely missing from the Account tab in the Apple Developer app. I have already contacted Apple Support via email regarding this issue, but I haven't received any response yet. Here is what I have already tried: Verifying I am logged in with the correct Account Holder Apple ID. Logging out and logging back in within the app. Checking the web portal, but it just tells me to use the app to renew. Is there any way to force the renewal option to appear, or does support need to manually refresh my account status? Thanks in advance for any help!

Developer Mode without PC
My phone's charging port is fried. It only charges wirelessly. Fixing it costs the same as the phone. I currently am having a lot of issues enrolling for apple developer program as well, so I can't use test flight right now. I want to enable developer mode on my phone, but it's never been connected to xcode before, so the option is not available. How do I enable developer mode without being able to connect it to a pc? I have a mac, and both my mac and iphone are on the same apple id. thank you
