Hi all Our App was rejected for being suspected Spam, copied from another entiy's App witht he following narrative: "We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences. " We explained this on the form, but the case is not being progressed, jsut ignored. Is there a good way forward to resolve this that is good for Apple as well. Here is our response in the Form: Dear App Review, Thank you for flagging this point and we fully understand and appreciate your concern for protection of our App from being put to unauthorised use. This App and has been developed solely for us and on our instruction and under our direction. As you have noticed, our developer submitted our App to your App Store years ago and it was available for several years from this account. Then some months ago we decided with the developer to move it to our own account. And as you also noticed, some small changes to simplify the flow were made intentionally before we submitted our app. Would you prefer that we resubmitted the App through the previous account of Osiel Lima, our valued friend and developer. Alternatively, we look forward to your positive advice on how to move forward. Thank you for your support and co-operation.

I just installed IOS 26.4 Beta 1 and on my 2023 Ram i get the Edit Pages option on the bottom. This happened when I first installed IOS 26 and the solution was to go to Display settings in CarPlay and turn off the Smart Zoom. After this latest install the Edit Pages is back and I no longer have the Smart Zoom option to turn off

Yesterday I enrolled to the developer program and I getting and error trying to connect to the App Store Connect “This app is for developer…”. How much time takes the registration?

My phone says ‘Slow Charger’ even if it’s Apple original power adaptor and cable. It‘s new and i think it’s a software issue. If it is then please fix it. If it’s not i’ll try fixing it myself. And a few things that i don’t like about iOS 26.4 are: Overheating, Safari Bugs, Apple Music UI not working. Please also try to fix them.

Hi, ios 26.4 beta iPhone 13 Pro Max After I installed this beta - my lost an opportunity of fas charge. I tried different cables and blocks - nothing. Now it says - "slow charge" and to charge from 20% to 80% I need more than 2 hours.

I’m new to the forums, and I hope this is the right place to ask this question. Yesterday, a platform called Rork released a new feature in their web‑based app‑building tool. According to their announcement and user comments on X/Twitter, people with no coding experience are now able to generate fully native iOS apps written in Swift and distribute them across Apple’s ecosystem—reportedly without using any Apple hardware. Some users who already have access to Rork Max claim they were able to create multiple apps within a few hours and successfully submit them to the App Store. If these claims are accurate, this seems like a significant shift in how native iOS apps can be created and published. I’m curious whether anyone here has insight into: How this aligns with Apple’s existing App Store Review Guidelines Whether generating Swift apps without Apple hardware is technically feasible or compliant Any potential implications for app quality, security, or developer identity requirements I’d appreciate any clarification or perspective from more experienced developers. Also, I’m also concerned that this could lead to a surge of very low‑quality apps from people primarily chasing quick revenue. If tools like this make it possible to publish apps with minimal effort or understanding of iOS development, it may have implications for overall App Store quality and review workload. I’m interested in hearing how Apple and experienced developers view this possibility, and whether existing guidelines are equipped to handle a large influx of rapidly generated apps.

I’m close to finishing my App build (using Rork.com) and need advice consulting on adding BLE Bluetooth functionality to connect to Cycling Sensors, speed cadence, watts, smart indoor cycling trainers, heart rate straps etc. My questions are as a complete beginner: 1: How much time is needed to set up BLE connections in Expo.dev using EAS build? 2: Where can I find a trustworthy tech to implement this? and on a second aspect for the app. I need someone to help set up REVENUECAT, for annual subscriptions. I’ve partly set it up for testing. How much time is needed here? many thanks for your time in advance for any help / assistance you’re able to provide. cherrs ben

Hi there, I’ve been having ongoing issues with my Apple Watch. Last week I updated it to watchOS 26.3. The next day it accidentally ran out of battery, and since then it has been randomly restarting, showing an overheating message. I suspected it might be related to the update, so I researched online and on the official Apple forums. People recommended resetting the Apple Watch and unpairing it from my iPhone. I did both procedures, but the problem persists, even when the watch is in a cool environment. I’ve been using it normally, but it still restarts multiple times a day. Yesterday I even updated to the public beta of watchOS 26.4 hoping it would fix the issue, but it didn’t help — the random restarting continues. Today I also unpaired and paired it again with my iPhone, and the problem is still happening. This has been very disruptive and frustrating. I’m following up on my previous message because I’ve found additional diagnostic information that may help identify the cause of the issue. I accessed the Apple Watch analytics logs and noticed that the restarts appear to be associated with a system process crash, specifically the ActivityMonitorApp (com.apple.ActivityMonitorApp). The log shows an EXC_RESOURCE exception with subtype MEMORY and the message “(Limit 35 MB) Crossed High Water Mark.” Based on this, it seems the system process exceeded its memory limit and was terminated by the system. This happens shortly before the watch displays the overheating icon and restarts. This makes me suspect the overheating warning may not be caused by actual temperature, but instead may be related to a software or system issue introduced after the watchOS update. For reference, the watch is currently running: watchOS 26.4 (build 23T5209m) I’d also like to share that I’ve performed some additional troubleshooting steps to help isolate the issue. Based on the crash logs referencing the ActivityMonitorApp, I removed the Activity rings complication from my main watch face and disabled Activity app notifications as well. I’ll be monitoring the watch closely today to see if this resolves the issue. If the restarts happen again, I will also try to capture additional logs to provide you with more information.

one cause is having logged-in using a Yubikey PIN. Search works fine when booted without the key inserted and std login is used.

External Raid hard drive read only mode After upgrade to 26.4 Cannot rebuild drives in any format other than APFS or EXFAT, any of the format will not mount.

I enrolled in Apple Developer Program and paid on February 5th. Payment was successfully processed, but my enrollment was never completed. The developer portal still prompts me to pay again. I have sent multiple emails with no response. This has been delaying my app launch for 2+ weeks. How do I get this resolved?

How can I remove device management please

Hello Apple Developer Community, I’m seeking guidance regarding a critical issue with our organization’s Apple Developer Program account. The Apple ID belonging to our Account Holder is currently inaccessible, which has effectively blocked us from managing the account. We urgently need either to restore access to that Apple ID or have the Account Holder role reassigned so we can continue maintaining and updating our apps. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support but have not yet received a actionable response, and the matter is time-sensitive because our clients depend on our ability to manage these applications. Relevant details: Our enrollment type supposed to be converted to Organization/Company. The Account Holder’s Apple ID is locked and cannot be used. I have Admin/Manager-level access via a separate Apple ID. Based on the official documentation, transferring the Account Holder role requires initiation by the current Account Holder, which isn’t possible under these circumstances. If anyone has dealt with a similar situation or knows the most effective way to escalate this with Apple, I would greatly appreciate your advice.

Hi, Is anybody else having this problem with iPads? Not sure its the cable or the latest update. The flickering makes it impossible to use.

I am trying to develop a Watch and iOS app as companion. It is beyond stupid how I can not keep the watch connected to Xcode to develop. I have tried all the so-called tricks. Why is this so fragile? The phone is USB connected to my Mac I have tried turning off the wifi on my Mac and have the phone and watch on the same network. Nada I have tried just having everything on the same network. The watch is connected maybe 20% of the time. I have tried creating a hotspot network with my phone. The watch is connected maybe 50% of the time. This is truly an awful experience. Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be grateful.

Hello, I need help with iCloud Activation Lock on my device.

Hello. I just got my developer account and my legal entity on my account has a mistake. My last name is spelled wrong. I have sent 3 emails to support about this and for the past week i have zero response to this issue. Can someone advise me on this? The ability to reach anybody from support is ridiculous for something that we can access only after payment especially. I even called apple business program with this and person on the phone said they will try to take to the supervisor but its not their department which i of course know but it was worth a shot to call. What more can i do? I didnt make a mistake when creating my account it was the system that didn’t recognize the letter. Such a stupid and frustrating issue and no response from apple, nada. how long am i suppose to wait?

After updating to another beta of High Sierra, my internal hard drive became read-only somehow. I have a user home directory on that and many things have stopped working. I tried re-installing the OS, but it didn't help. I'm out of options by now. Anyone has ideas how can I fix that?
