Hi, I have a question related to eligibility. If we consider the eligibility rules and the submission window doesn't change for next year and if the challenge is still happening, would I be eligible in the following scenario -
I graduated from an American University for my undergraduate in December 2025, and the submission is in February 2026, according to "Be enrolled in, or have graduated within the last 90 days from, an accredited academic institution or official homeschool equivalent, or an Apple Developer Academy", am I eligible.
I am not sure if it applies to university or just high school. If you don't want to answer the hypothetical answer for next year. Take this scanerio, would I have been eligible for this year's challenge if I had graduated from university in December 2024.
Thank you

when I receive calls on my mobile number and I am connected to a Wifi, the calls is cancelled after the second ring and the caller receives a busy signal. That means I cannot receive calls anymore.
This problems happens with different mobile providers and does not occur on my Samsung Galaxy Phone with the same number (eSim).
Even when I disable WIFI Calling the problem persists, when I am connected to a WIFI.
Only when I disable the WIFI Connect and I am only connected to the mobile carrier, the calls go throuhg in a normal way.
VERY annoying and hast not been fixed with Beta 3 of iOS 18.4.
Any clue how this can be solved with settings?
Hope Apple fixes this very soon!

We are a technical team of a large enterprise whose main business depends on internally developed iOS applications. Our Apple enterprise developer account expires on February 16th, and we filled in the renewal application form before that, but it was rejected by Apple. We contacted the Apple consultant through Apple's official website, and they said that the enterprise department is a separate department, and they could not solve my problem. Later, after efforts, I directly contacted the email address of the enterprise department, and I explained our situation. After their review, the final plan still could not renew, but only extended the use of our P12 certificate, and the maximum extension was one year in the end, so that we can deal with the application that is being distributed by the enterprise as soon as possible. May I ask if there is any better way to successfully renew my account? We only extended the certificate, which is not what we want, but this is the only way at present. If there is a good way to communicate, please check my personal information and have my email address for communication. Thank you all
Hi everyone,
Our Apple Developer account (ID/Email: [*****]) was suddenly disabled, showing "Terminated" status in the backend, but we received no violation notice via email. Current issues:
Context:
Last operation before termination: "App submission"
No warning emails or policy violation details received (checked spam folder)
Attempted Solutions:
Submitted appeal via Developer Support Page, no response yet
Reviewed all apps against 《App Store Review Guidelines》, no obvious violations found
Questions:
Are there alternative ways to contact Apple support directly?
What are common causes for such terminations (e.g., payment issues, account association risks)?
Should we create a new account, or is reinstatement possible?
Note: Sensitive details redacted. Will provide more info if needed. Thanks for any advice!

return
}
///["event": AudioCommand.mute.rawValue]
sharedDefaults.set("test", forKey: SharedUserDefaults.Keys.audioCommand)
let didSynchronize = sharedDefaults.synchronize()
print("Intent Extension: Wrote Synchronize successful: \(didSynchronize)")
guard let command = sharedDefaults.string(forKey: SharedUserDefaults.Keys.audioCommand) else {

Greetings Apple Communithy,
Caraveo here, I am attempting to create an node-based diagram app... this is my first app. I am want to create an app that will help me personally organize my career, ideas, and projects.
Its a document based app.... that allows users to store files into a .memory extension.
For example users will be able to create a file called "myBook.memory"
I am attempting to create a work-flow where users can "clone" files into each node. PDFs, Documents, Audio, Video, Media, etc. They can then just work with their .memory file and share it, back it up, manage it...
To me this is very important..... it will help me immensely... its a new super simple way to manage your ideas.
Please learn more here.... MemoryProApp.com
I need a co-coder, alpha testers, and anyone that is interested in working on this project.
I am having issues with the file attachements and the documentation saving is failing on me for some reason. Thank you everyone!

I developed a Desktop application using Electron. This application can be opened on Mac computers and computers with other chips, but cannot be opened on a computer with an M3 Max chip. What is the general reason for this?
The following is the relevant error log message:

Hi,
I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max, model A2849, which according to Apple’s official specifications, supports eSIM.
However, in the settings, there is no visible option to add an eSIM (see attached screenshot).
There is no “Add Cellular Plan” or any other eSIM-related menu.
I’ve already checked for software updates, restarted the device, and reset the network settings, but the issue remains.
Has anyone experienced this issue or knows how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,
i just noticed that when i download an app through the App Store on my iPhone, the app i downloaded does not appear on my home screen or in the App Library.
is there any work around for me to make them appear at least in the App Library?
the only way to open or to place an app on my home screen I downloaded after upgrading to iOS 18.4 Beta 3 is to search for it in Spotlight or in the App Store.
Any apps I downloaded before upgrading to iOS 18.4 Beta 3 is still on my home screen or in the App Library.
i am currently running iOS 18.4 Beta 3 on an iPhone 16 Pro

We are currently listening to App Store Server Notifications V2 and have encountered an issue with notification ordering.
Specifically, there are instances where Apple sends the DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_STATUS notification before the INITIAL_BUY notification. This leads to a situation where we are unable to process the cancellation of a transaction that is unknown to us at the time of the renewal status change.
Could you please clarify why this occurs? If this is a bug, could you kindly address it and implement a fix?
Below, I have included examples that illustrate the issue. These examples I obtained using the Notification History API, which may help in troubleshooting.
bundleId: com.picsart.studio
case 1:
originalTransactionId 350002410***633
DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_STATUS - ‘2025-03-05T00:47:05.900Z’
INITIAL_BUY - ‘2025-03-05T00:47:40.728Z’
case 2:
originalTransactionId 420002297***345
DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_STATUS - ‘2025-03-03T11:43:54.006Z’
INITIAL_BUY - ‘2025-03-03T11:43:56.437Z’
case 3:
originalTransactionId 150002224***082
DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_STATUS - ‘2025-03-02T05:15:36.610Z’
INITIAL_BUY - ‘2025-03-02T05:15:52.666Z’

I can't use the app because I haven't received any email and I don't know what the invitation code is.
Will I receive it at some point or how can I receive it?
My team and I are currently working on an app, that enable user especially in Nigeria who are having issues with crediting thier Apple account in other to carry out some transactions such as Apple Music subscription and co. This project wI’ll grant user easy access.
We are currently seeking assist and API Support
When changing the app's alternate icon using UIApplication.setAlternateIconName(_:completionHandler:), the icon is updated correctly on the Home Screen and App Switcher. However, in Notification Center, the old app icon is still shown for notifications, even after the change has completed. Rebooting or change the device's language causes the correct icon to appear.
This issue only occurs on iOS 18.1 and later. In iOS 18.0 and earlier, Notification Center correctly reflects the updated icon.
Could you provide insights into how iOS caches notification icons and how we can force a refresh for all users?
Regarding the Issue with URL Scheme Not Working。
Hello, our app on the App Store has the following CFBundleURLTypes configuration:
We've discovered that the qmkege:// URL scheme is failing to open the app.
Steps to Reproduce:
1、We downloaded the installation package from the App Store
2、Entered qmkege:// in Safari, but it fails to launch our app。
The system logs show the following:
Key Observation:
This issue is not consistently reproducible. In most cases, when we install the app directly from the App Store (without VPN), it works fine. However, the problem occurs when downloading the app through the App Store while connected via VPN.
Looking forward to your feedback.

Hello,
I'm trying to publish my app, but I'm constantly getting rejected by Apple. They're telling me I'm having issues with tracking user data.
This item has been rejected for the following reasons:
5.1.2 Legal: Privacy - Data Use and Sharing
I've indicated that I don't use this data for ads, that it's only used for personalization and to understand who saves items.
I added the NSUserTrackingUsageDescription property to the info.plist.
I run AppTrackingTransparency.requestTrackingAuthorization() when the user logs into the app, displaying a warning message.
I'd say I meet all the requirements they've set for me, but they still haven't approved my app. What do you recommend? How can I speak to a physical person who can help me?
Thank you very much and best regards.
It works if Bluetooth is on for a long time, is there any problem?
I'm developing an app using beacon and Bluetooth, and I have to operate the app in the background, and after spending the weekend, I have to detect the beacon and revive the app. I can see that there is an app in the background, but the app is not coming back to life.
How can I solve this problem?
Or is the OS team working on something to block it?
The test model is Iphone16Plus.

I’m developing an app that has a Fitbit login page embedded in a WKWebView. On the Fitbit login page, there is a Google login button.
When I try to log in to Fitbit via Google, some devices redirect back to the Fitbit login page even after entering the correct Google credentials. However, it works on the second attempt. I tested the same URL in the default browser, and it works fine when the page is loaded in the browser instead of inside the WebView.
I tried the following workarounds but was unable to fix the issue:
1. Enabled JavaScript in WebView.
2. Tried cookie synchronization between WKWebsiteDataStore and HTTPCookieStorage.
