W-9 Line 1 Cannot Be Updated
I own a U.S. single-member LLC that's a disregarded entity. In App Store Connect, Line 1 of the W-9 is locked to the LLC name, but the IRS instructions say the owner's name goes on Line 1 and the LLC on Line 2. This is blocking my Paid Apps Agreement. I contacted Finance Support around 9-23-26 with a screenshot and video of the issue, but haven't heard back. I followed up a week ago. Still no response. Has anyone with a single-member LLC gotten this fixed recently? Apple developer support says their financial team is the only team that can handle this issue. Nearly one month to fix some basic text is ridiculous. I could have handles this myself if the Line 1 box wasn't greyed out.

B2Meet Stuck in Waiting for Review for 16 Days – Urgent International Event Deadline
Hello Apple Developer Support and App Review Team, We are experiencing an unusually long App Store review delay for our application, B2Meet (Version 1.0.03). APPLICATION DETAILS App Name: B2Meet Developer: Sia Teknoloji Apple ID: 6823916394 Bundle ID: com.b2meet SKU: b2meet Version: 1.0.03 Platform: iOS Current Status: Waiting for Review SUBMISSION HISTORY October 20, 2026: Initial submission – Waiting for Review October 22, 2026: Developer withdrew and resubmitted the application October 27, 2026: Developer withdrew and resubmitted the application November 5, 2026: Still Waiting for Review The application has been in the submission process for 16 days, including 9 days since the latest submission, without entering the actual review stage. BUSINESS IMPACT AND URGENCY B2Meet is a B2B networking and event management platform developed by Sia Teknoloji for major international exhibitions scheduled for November 25–28, 2026. The application must be available at least 20 days before these events to allow exhibitors, international buyers, and organizers to register, schedule B2B meetings, and prepare their participation. Our planned launch date was November 5, 2026, and this delay is now directly affecting event preparations. REQUEST FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE We would greatly appreciate clarification on the following: Could Apple investigate why our application has not entered the review stage? Is there any technical, account-related, or submission-related issue preventing the review from starting? Could our submission be considered for expedited review due to the fixed international event dates? We have attached a screenshot of the App Store Connect submission history documenting the timeline. We would greatly appreciate assistance from an Apple engineer or App Review representative. Thank you for your support. Best regards

ExitTimeOut appears to be capped at 60 seconds, and ExitTimeOut 0 kills immediately
On macOS 27.x (Apple silicon) I've been measuring how launchd stops a job, and two behaviors don't match the documentation. Method: a throwaway job whose script traps SIGTERM and logs it, bootstrapped with different ExitTimeOut values, then stopped with launchctl bootout while timing when the process dies. Observed (LaunchAgent in the gui domain; the same results in the system domain with a LaunchDaemon): ExitTimeOut 45 -> `launchctl print` reports 45; SIGTERM, then SIGKILL at 45 s ExitTimeOut 61 -> reports 60; SIGTERM, then SIGKILL at 60 s ExitTimeOut 90 -> reports 60; SIGTERM, then SIGKILL at 60 s ExitTimeOut 120 -> reports 60; SIGTERM, then SIGKILL at 60 s ExitTimeOut 0 -> reports 0; SIGKILL after ~0.1 s, SIGTERM never deliveredman launchd.plist says of ExitTimeOut: "The amount of time launchd waits between sending the SIGTERM signal and before sending a SIGKILL signal when the job is to be stopped. The default value is system-defined. The value zero is interpreted as infinity and should not be used, as it can stall system shutdown forever." So: is there a 60-second ceiling on ExitTimeOut? It isn't documented that I can find, and it applies in both domains. And is zero meant to be "infinity" as documented, or an immediate SIGKILL as observed? Finally, is there a supported way for a service to be given more than 60 seconds to exit when launchd stops it — or is 60 seconds simply the maximum? Happy to file a Feedback with a minimal repro if that's useful.

HMPresenceEvent-based predicate woes
I can't find a way to create an event trigger with a presence-based predicate ideally for a particular user at home; or at least, for all users at home. Just for the record, the rationale: I need to keep the heating on in the user's private room when he is at home, off when he is not. The idea is to have a trigger based on a low temperature event (I can do that and works all right), which would then check whether the user is at home through the predicate; if so, it would open the radiator valve (the action also tested and also working all right); if not, it would do nothing. How to? Since I could find no API to create an HMPresenceEvent for a particular user, I've set it up in the Home application, and tried to use it this way (I happen to have only one such at the moment in Home, so there's no need to check the attributes): HMPresenceEvent *pevent; for (HMEventTrigger *t in home.triggers) if ([t isKindOfClass:HMEventTrigger.class]) for (HMPresenceEvent *e in t.events) if ([e isKindOfClass:HMPresenceEvent.class]) { pevent=[e copy]; break; } NSPredicate *p=[HMEventTrigger predicateForEvaluatingTriggerWithPresence:pevent]; HMEventTrigger *et=[[HMEventTrigger alloc] initWithName:@"TEST PRESENCE" events:... endEvents:nil recurrences:nil predicate:p];alas, this raises the “NSInvalidArgumentException: Invalid parameter; (user info absent)” exception. Looks like copy loses this information somehow?!? Without appropriate public APIs one can't say :( (Since I can set up these events in the Home application freely with any kinds of action, it seems to be patently absurd not to open these APIs for privacy reasons, but that's another question, not for this ticket.) Anyway, I've tried to resort to checking for “all users at home” through pevent=[[HMPresenceEvent alloc] initWithPresenceEventType:HMPresenceEventTypeAtHome presenceUserType:HMPresenceEventUserTypeHomeUsers];where HMPresenceEventUserTypeHomeUsers is documented as “Presence of all home users”. Nevertheless, when I log out the result, I get just “any user“: [Presence-Event: type: HMPresenceTypeAnyUserAtHome, mode: HMPresenceEventActivationGranularityHome]That's unusable for me. I need to check for presence of all users (if checking for a particular one is really forbidden for some inexplicable reason). Please help. How to properly set up a trigger predicate for (ideally) a given specific HMUser, or at the very least, for a presence of all registered home users. Thanks!

Issue: Screen rotation becomes locked when updating the status bar on an iPhone Duo.
Issue: Screen rotation becomes locked when updating the status bar on an iPhone Duo. This does not appear to be a device-specific hardware issue; however, it occurs specifically on the iPhone Duo. In my app, if I change the status bar visibility (using prefersStatusBarHidden) while on the iPhone Duo’s external screen, and then immediately unfold the device to reveal the internal screen, the app’s rotation state becomes locked. Although I use prefersInterfaceOrientationLocked to manage rotation, the app remains locked even when this property returns false. The issue persists even when prefersInterfaceOrientationLocked is commented out or removed entirely. Returning to the device’s home screen, rotating the device, and then re-entering the app resolves the lock. Has anyone encountered or resolved a similar issue?

File Provider extension can't reach local network hosts on macOS 27, containing app can
On macOS 27 the File Provider extension of our app (Secure ShellFish, an SSH client) can't connect to any host on the local network, while the containing app connects to the same host on the same Mac without problems. Local Network is enabled for the app in System Settings, but every connection from the extension fails with "Local network prohibited". It did not happen on macOS 26 and still happens on macOS 27.2 (26B123). This is hitting end users of Secure ShellFish, not just my test setup, and it has been my number one support issue since macOS 27 was released. I filed this as FB24999927 with a sysdiagnose. I'm posting here to find out whether others with File Provider (or other) extensions see the same, and whether there is anything on our side that should make it work. Steps Install the app on a clean macOS 27 system and launch it. Choose Allow at the Local Network prompt. Add an SSH server on the local network (another Mac in my test) and open a terminal to it. This works. Open the same server in Finder (the File Provider domain under ~/Library/CloudStorage). The directory listing fails. What happens TN3179 says "In general, app extensions share the Local Network privilege state of their container app", so I expected the listing to load. Instead every connection from the extension to the LAN host is blocked, and the error depends on the networking API: CFStream: ENETDOWN (50) "Network is down" BSD socket connect(): EHOSTUNREACH (65) "No route to host" Network.framework (NWConnection, multipath TCP): waits with path unsatisfied (Local network prohibited) until our connect timeout, ETIMEDOUT (60) No Local Network prompt appears. Toggling the permission, rebooting, killing the extension process and reinstalling the app don't help. What I ruled out A stale extension process: freshly launched extension processes are blocked on their very first connection. A missing UUID cache: after installing a new build, nehelper populates the cache for the app with 14 UUIDs, including both slices of the extension's executable. The extension was blocked 23 seconds later. Shared executable UUIDs: the app and the extension have distinct Mach-O UUIDs. The sandbox: the extension has com.apple.security.network.client. A missing usage string: adding NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription to the extension's Info.plist changed nothing, with no prompt and no separate entry in System Settings. Networking in general: the extension reaches internet hosts and the Mac itself by its local name. Only other hosts on the local network are blocked. Log The blocked notification arrives with bundle_id: (null). UserEventAgent then maps the extension to the app by its UUID, nehelper answers that local network is allowed by preference, and the handler is called with the newly allowed state. Later connections from the same process are still blocked, so that state never takes effect for the extension. 09:19:37.575 UserEventAgent Got local network blocked notification: pid: 4297, uuid: 183484C2-8052-36AD-A81E-B02F15F875B3, bundle_id: (null) 09:19:37.575 UserEventAgent LocalNetwork: found bundle id com.appliedphasor.secure-shellfish.mac-provider by PID 09:19:37.575 ShellFish-Finder [C1.1.1 IPv6#dace0833.22 failed path (unsatisfied (Local network prohibited), interface: en0[802.11], ipv4, ipv6, uses wifi)] 09:19:37.576 UserEventAgent LocalNetwork: found bundle id com.appliedphasor.secure-shellfish by UUID 183484C2-8052-36AD-A81E-B02F15F875B3 09:19:37.597 nehelper UUID cache hit for com.appliedphasor.secure-shellfish 09:19:37.597 nehelper Local network allowed by preference for ShellFish (com.appliedphasor.secure-shellfish) 09:19:37.597 UserEventAgent App got response: 1 09:19:37.597 UserEventAgent Calling handler with newly allowed state: 1 09:19:44.795 fileproviderd populate-directory error: FP -1004 "Unable to list p5.local: Unable To Connect To P5.Local: Network Is Down."Questions Is this a known change in macOS 27? FB24035385 (helper and child processes no longer inherit Local Network access on macOS 27) sounds related, and other File Provider apps report the same, for example nextcloud/desktop#10885: https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/10885 Does an extension need anything on macOS 27 to share its container's Local Network privilege, such as an entitlement, an Info.plist key, or something the app must do first? If not, is there a supported workaround? The only one we see is to relay the extension's traffic through the main app over loopback, which only works while the app is running. For these users Finder integration is completely broken, because servers on the local network (Raspberry Pi, NAS, home servers) are the most common setup among them. Any pointers are much appreciated.

Simulator and Canvas 27.3 "identityservicesd quit unexpectedly"
Anyone working with the 27.3 devices beta in Xcode 27.3 on macOS 27.3? Canvas and device hub/simulator are throwing this error while open, several on first load, then periodically (not sure of the periodicity). Any help is appreciated. Not sure if it's impacting at the code or app, but it is interfering with active work (it assumes modal position while working). Can reproduce from Device Hub only (all other apps, including XCode closed), screencast here - demos 27.2 for the time it is started no errors, 27.3 as soon as it is started "identityservicesd quit unexpectedly" errors. Looks like stages in the rendering also - noticed dock not displayed, error, then dock displayed, next - home icons not displayed, error, then home icons displayed, etc. https://app.screencast.com/iK0BaVIVpjt0O

Notarization worked, then every submission rejected with 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization"
Following Quinn's advice in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/118465?answerId=379585022#379585022, I have opened a Developer Programs Support case and am posting here with the case number.

How precisely is a predicate evaluated for an HMEventTrigger?
Perhaps I am just stupid, but I can't quite grok that. What object is the predicate evaluated over, how, and at what moment? Originally I've thought when some event causes the trigger to fire, the predicate would just be evaluated over that event; but that can't be that simple, see please details below. I've set (in a 3rd party application; Home, far as I can say, does not allow that) a predicate “only when both of a pair of lights are off”. The predicate works perfectly, and the event really performs its action set only when both of the lights are off, so far so good. Nevertheless, I've dumped the predicate, and it looks like this (the first line is my own dump which is a bit more concise; the 2nd one is the standard description just to make sure that my own dump works properly): (((self.characteristic == 'Power State' of 'Lustr O') && (self.characteristicValue == 0)) && ((self.characteristic == 'Power State' of 'Knihovna') && (self.characteristicValue == 0))) (characteristic == <HMCharacteristic, Unique ID: 2E046807-9127-565F-B9CB-10BC0F2EE6D2, Type: 00000025, Instance ID: 9> AND characteristicValue == 0) AND (characteristic == <HMCharacteristic, Unique ID: 7444CCCE-1C1B-5234-8CAE-01DA4D811B8B, Type: 00000025, Instance ID: 9> AND characteristicValue == 0)I can't understand that at all :( I must be missing something of great importance, but it seems to me that a predicate which can be just as well[1] written as self.characteristic==A && self.characteristic==B && (some other conditions) can't ever evaluate to YES when A and B differ (which they self-evidently do in this case). The “to evaluate before executing the scene” of the documentation does not really help. What do I miss, can anybody explain that? Thanks! [1] Correct me please if I am wrong, but I do believe the logical AND is both an associative and an commutative operator, which makes this re-write fully equivalent to the original.

StoreKit 2 returns USA/USD in TestFlight but DEU/EUR in local Release build on the same device
Hi everyone, We are currently preparing the release of our Flutter-based iOS application and are experiencing an unusual StoreKit 2 storefront issue that only occurs when the app is installed through TestFlight. The problem When our application is installed through TestFlight, StoreKit 2 consistently returns the United States storefront (USA), and all six auto-renewable subscription products are displayed with USD prices. However, both the regular Apple Account and the Sandbox Apple Account are configured for Germany. We have verified the following: All six subscription products are correctly configured in App Store Connect with EUR prices for Germany. The subscriptions are available in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. We created a completely new Sandbox tester with Germany selected during account creation, using an email address that had never previously been used for sandbox testing. The issue occurs on two different physical devices (iPhone and iPad). No local StoreKit configuration file is used. Our application does not override the storefront, modify localized prices, or contain any hardcoded USD fallback. Controlled comparison We performed additional tests using the same application code on the same iPhone. The results were: Installation method Storefront Currency Local Debug build via Xcode/Flutter DEU EUR Local development-signed Release build via Flutter DEU EUR TestFlight Release build USA USD The locally installed Release build successfully retrieves all six subscription products with their correct German prices. For example, StoreKit returns the following values for one of our subscriptions: Local Release build: Storefront.current.countryCode = DEU Product currencyCode = EUR Product.displayPrice = 6,99 € TestFlight build: Storefront.current.countryCode = USA Product currencyCode = USD Both builds use the same StoreKit 2 integration and product identifiers. Technical environment Framework: Flutter StoreKit integration: StoreKit 2 Flutter plugin: in_app_purchase_storekit 0.4.11+2 Devices: Physical iPhone and iPad iOS/iPadOS: 26.6.2 Subscription products: Six auto-renewable subscriptions Expected storefront: Germany (DEU) Actual TestFlight storefront: United States (USA) We have traced the storefront country code directly to StoreKit 2’s Storefront.current.countryCode and the localized prices to the product information returned by Product.products(for:). There is no application-level storefront override or price conversion. Questions Why would StoreKit 2 return a different storefront in TestFlight compared with a locally installed development-signed Release build on the same physical device? Could TestFlight use a different sandbox storefront or Apple Account context than a locally installed build? Is there a recommended way to diagnose or reset the storefront association used by TestFlight? Has anyone experienced similar behavior where TestFlight consistently returns USA despite using a German Apple Account and newly created German sandbox testers? We have already contacted Apple Developer Support and followed their recommendation to create a completely new German sandbox tester, but the issue persists. Any guidance from Apple engineers or developers who have encountered similar behavior would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Unexpected Core Foundation attribute types when inspecting an existing Secure Enclave-associated Keychain key on macOS
Hello Apple Developer community, I'm investigating an unexpected metadata representation returned by Apple's Security framework while inspecting an existing Secure Enclave-associated Keychain item on macOS. A read-only inspection using SecItemCopyMatching returns one matching key record with a successful status, a Secure Enclave token identifier (com.apple.setoken), and a 256-bit key size. However, direct Core Foundation type inspection reports: kSecAttrKeyType: CFNumber kSecAttrKeyClass: CFNumber kSecAttrSynchronizable: CFNumber The raw Core Foundation observations and bridged observations agree. Our current validator rejects these unexpected types and returns UNSUPPORTED_OR_INCOMPLETE_METADATA. We have deliberately stopped further key operations pending clarification. Questions: Can these CFNumber values legitimately appear in a dictionary returned by SecItemCopyMatching for Secure Enclave-associated key items on macOS? What returned value types should be expected for these three attributes, and are they dependent on the query or Keychain implementation? Is there an Apple-recommended way to normalize or validate these attributes without incorrectly accepting incompatible metadata? How should an application distinguish an existing Secure Enclave-backed key from an incomplete or unsupported Keychain record without performing a private-key operation? Are there relevant Security framework documentation references or known implementation differences we should consult? Our aim is to validate the existing record safely without regenerating, deleting, or using the private key. Thank you for your guidance.

Waiting for Review Megathread
Hi all, It seems like there are a ton of us stuck in a "Waiting for Review" traffic jam, with Apple providing essentially no information on their end. Immensely frustrating. Given that, would people be up for posting their time submitted and (once they receive a review) editing to include the time it took? It would be good to get a sense of how long everyone is waiting. I'll go first: Submitted: October 8 Status: Waiting for review I'll update this post when I hear back.

macOS: How to reliably verify the absence of an extended ACL using a file descriptor?
We are implementing a fail-closed security check for a directory opened through a file descriptor on macOS. We need to reliably distinguish between: No extended ACL is present. An extended ACL is present but contains zero entries. ACL retrieval failed or is unsupported. Observed behavior For an existing directory with mode 0700: acl_get_fd_np(fd, ACL_TYPE_EXTENDED) returns NULL with errno == ENOENT. acl_get_file(path, ACL_TYPE_EXTENDED) returns NULL with errno == ENOENT. fstat() and lstat() agree on the device and inode. The directory exists and can be opened successfully. ls -ldeO@ displays no extended ACL entries. We reviewed Apple's open-source implementations of acl_get_fd_np() and filesec_get_property(). We understand that ENOENT can result from an unavailable FILESEC_ACL property, rather than a missing filesystem object. We also understand that XNU distinguishes an empty ACL from KAUTH_FILESEC_NOACL. Question Is there a publicly supported, file-descriptor-based API with documented postconditions that can reliably prove the absence of an extended ACL, while distinguishing it from an empty ACL and an ACL retrieval failure? Specifically: Can fstatx_np() and filesec_get_property() provide this distinction? Can fgetattrlist() with ATTR_CMN_EXTENDED_SECURITY and ATTR_CMN_RETURNED_ATTRS reliably establish ACL absence? What additional filesystem capability checks or return-value checks are required? If no public API provides this guarantee, is that a documented limitation? For security reasons, our implementation rejects the object whenever ACL absence cannot be established reliably. We would appreciate clarification of the supported API contract and its limitations. Thank you.

Unusually long “Waiting for Review” times this week (App Store + TestFlight delays?)
Hi everyone, I’m currently experiencing unusually long review waiting times and wanted to ask if others see the same behavior this week. My situation: • App Store update has been in “Waiting for Review” significantly longer than usual • A newly submitted build also seems stuck • TestFlight processing is slower than I normally see • Expedited review request and contact attempts didn’t change the status so far What confuses me is that I still see other apps receiving updates, so I’m unsure whether this is a broader review delay or something submission-specific. I’m not trying to escalate anything — just looking to understand if this is currently affecting more developers. Would really appreciate hearing about your recent experiences. Thanks and good luck to everyone waiting 🙂

Enrollment stuck for weeks — upload link returns "account not authorized" (/ineligible), no reply from Developer Support
My Apple Developer Program enrollment has been stuck for several weeks and I can't get a response through any channel. Hoping someone from Apple can flag this internally. Situation: The enrollment fee is already paid — authorized and showing as completed on my card. My government-issued photo ID was uploaded earlier, before I made the payment. Developer Support (Case #102982502169) emailed asking me to re-upload my ID via https://developer.apple.com/contact/file-upload/ — but that link redirects to /contact/file-upload/ineligible and shows "Sorry, you don't have access. Your account isn't authorized to upload files", even when I'm signed in as the account holder. So I physically cannot complete the step they asked for. What I've tried: Replied to the email thread (Case #102982502169, Case #103012285256, Case #103015741490) multiple times — no response. No phone/callback option is offered for my account. Apple Support chat confirmed they have no way to escalate to the developer team. Could someone please either enable the file upload for my case, or confirm my ID is already on file so enrollment can be completed? Case #102982502169. Happy to provide any details. Thank you.

App Stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 4+ Days Despite Multiple Expedited Review Requests
Hello Apple Developer Community, We are experiencing a significant delay with our first production release and would appreciate guidance from anyone who has faced a similar situation or can help escalate this to the appropriate Apple team. Our app, PriceEasy Enterprise, has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for over 4 days, and the review process has not started yet. App Details: App Name: PriceEasy Enterprise Apple App ID: 6822673059 Version: 1.0 Build: 4 (1.0.3) Current Status: Waiting for Review What we have tried so far: Submitted 4–5 expedited review requests through Apple's official channel. Contacted Apple Developer Support requesting manual escalation. Sent follow-up emails explaining the business impact. Requested a callback from the support team and provided contact details for our Senior Developer and CEO. Unfortunately, we haven't received any meaningful response or update, and the submission remains in the same status. Business Impact: Our company's headquarters is in Houston, Texas, USA, and we serve clients across the US and internationally. This release is important for our business operations and client commitments. The delay is affecting our planned launch. We would appreciate help with the following: Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently? Were you able to get your submission moved into review through Developer Support or another escalation channel? Is there any way to get direct assistance from the App Review Operations team? Can an Apple representative help investigate why the submission has not yet been picked up for review? We understand that Apple needs sufficient time to review every submission. However, given the repeated expedited requests and lack of response, we would really appreciate some guidance or assistance. Thank you for your time and help.

Apple Developer Program enrollment Pending for 4 weeks
Hello everyone, I am looking for assistance or guidance regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. My Apple Developer Support Case ID is 102993829177. Timeline of my enrollment and communications with Apple Developer Support October 8, 2026 - Paid the $99 Apple Developer Program membership fee and received an official payment confirmation from Apple. On the same day, I submitted my Russian international passport for identity verification. Apple confirmed receipt of the document. However, my enrollment remained Pending, and the system continued asking me to purchase the membership again. October 12 - Contacted Apple Developer Support for the first time regarding my pending enrollment. Support case 102993829177 was created. October 16–17 - Received a response from an Apple Developer Support representative explaining that my international passport confirmed my country, but additional documentation was required to verify my city of residence in Russia. October 17 - Replied to the support representative and submitted photographs of my Russian internal passport, including the identification page and the residential registration page showing my current address. No response received. October 22 - Sent a follow-up email asking for confirmation that the documents had been received and requesting information about the next steps. No response received. October 29 - Contacted support again to request an update on my enrollment and document verification. No response received. In summary, I have sent three messages since the additional documents were requested - on October 17, 22, and 29 - without receiving any response. As of November 5, 2026, it has been 28 days since my payment and 19 days since I submitted the additional documents. My Apple Developer account still shows "Pending" and continues to display "Purchase your membership", even though the membership fee has already been paid. Phone support is not available to me. I understand that document verification may take additional time. However, I currently have no confirmation that my latest documents have been received and are being reviewed, or whether any further action is required from me. I would appreciate any guidance from Apple Developer Support representatives or community members on how to obtain an update on my enrollment status and determine the next steps. Apple Developer Support Case ID: 102993829177. Thank you for your assistance!

W-9 Line 1 Cannot Be Updated
I own a U.S. single-member LLC that's a disregarded entity. In App Store Connect, Line 1 of the W-9 is locked to the LLC name, but the IRS instructions say the owner's name goes on Line 1 and the LLC on Line 2. This is blocking my Paid Apps Agreement. I contacted Finance Support around 9-23-26 with a screenshot and video of the issue, but haven't heard back. I followed up a week ago. Still no response. Has anyone with a single-member LLC gotten this fixed recently? Apple developer support says their financial team is the only team that can handle this issue. Nearly one month to fix some basic text is ridiculous. I could have handles this myself if the Line 1 box wasn't greyed out.

B2Meet Stuck in Waiting for Review for 16 Days – Urgent International Event Deadline
Hello Apple Developer Support and App Review Team, We are experiencing an unusually long App Store review delay for our application, B2Meet (Version 1.0.03). APPLICATION DETAILS App Name: B2Meet Developer: Sia Teknoloji Apple ID: 6823916394 Bundle ID: com.b2meet SKU: b2meet Version: 1.0.03 Platform: iOS Current Status: Waiting for Review SUBMISSION HISTORY October 20, 2026: Initial submission – Waiting for Review October 22, 2026: Developer withdrew and resubmitted the application October 27, 2026: Developer withdrew and resubmitted the application November 5, 2026: Still Waiting for Review The application has been in the submission process for 16 days, including 9 days since the latest submission, without entering the actual review stage. BUSINESS IMPACT AND URGENCY B2Meet is a B2B networking and event management platform developed by Sia Teknoloji for major international exhibitions scheduled for November 25–28, 2026. The application must be available at least 20 days before these events to allow exhibitors, international buyers, and organizers to register, schedule B2B meetings, and prepare their participation. Our planned launch date was November 5, 2026, and this delay is now directly affecting event preparations. REQUEST FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE We would greatly appreciate clarification on the following: Could Apple investigate why our application has not entered the review stage? Is there any technical, account-related, or submission-related issue preventing the review from starting? Could our submission be considered for expedited review due to the fixed international event dates? We have attached a screenshot of the App Store Connect submission history documenting the timeline. We would greatly appreciate assistance from an Apple engineer or App Review representative. Thank you for your support. Best regards

ExitTimeOut appears to be capped at 60 seconds, and ExitTimeOut 0 kills immediately
On macOS 27.x (Apple silicon) I've been measuring how launchd stops a job, and two behaviors don't match the documentation. Method: a throwaway job whose script traps SIGTERM and logs it, bootstrapped with different ExitTimeOut values, then stopped with launchctl bootout while timing when the process dies. Observed (LaunchAgent in the gui domain; the same results in the system domain with a LaunchDaemon): ExitTimeOut 45 -> `launchctl print` reports 45; SIGTERM, then SIGKILL at 45 s ExitTimeOut 61 -> reports 60; SIGTERM, then SIGKILL at 60 s ExitTimeOut 90 -> reports 60; SIGTERM, then SIGKILL at 60 s ExitTimeOut 120 -> reports 60; SIGTERM, then SIGKILL at 60 s ExitTimeOut 0 -> reports 0; SIGKILL after ~0.1 s, SIGTERM never deliveredman launchd.plist says of ExitTimeOut: "The amount of time launchd waits between sending the SIGTERM signal and before sending a SIGKILL signal when the job is to be stopped. The default value is system-defined. The value zero is interpreted as infinity and should not be used, as it can stall system shutdown forever." So: is there a 60-second ceiling on ExitTimeOut? It isn't documented that I can find, and it applies in both domains. And is zero meant to be "infinity" as documented, or an immediate SIGKILL as observed? Finally, is there a supported way for a service to be given more than 60 seconds to exit when launchd stops it — or is 60 seconds simply the maximum? Happy to file a Feedback with a minimal repro if that's useful.

HMPresenceEvent-based predicate woes
I can't find a way to create an event trigger with a presence-based predicate ideally for a particular user at home; or at least, for all users at home. Just for the record, the rationale: I need to keep the heating on in the user's private room when he is at home, off when he is not. The idea is to have a trigger based on a low temperature event (I can do that and works all right), which would then check whether the user is at home through the predicate; if so, it would open the radiator valve (the action also tested and also working all right); if not, it would do nothing. How to? Since I could find no API to create an HMPresenceEvent for a particular user, I've set it up in the Home application, and tried to use it this way (I happen to have only one such at the moment in Home, so there's no need to check the attributes): HMPresenceEvent *pevent; for (HMEventTrigger *t in home.triggers) if ([t isKindOfClass:HMEventTrigger.class]) for (HMPresenceEvent *e in t.events) if ([e isKindOfClass:HMPresenceEvent.class]) { pevent=[e copy]; break; } NSPredicate *p=[HMEventTrigger predicateForEvaluatingTriggerWithPresence:pevent]; HMEventTrigger *et=[[HMEventTrigger alloc] initWithName:@"TEST PRESENCE" events:... endEvents:nil recurrences:nil predicate:p];alas, this raises the “NSInvalidArgumentException: Invalid parameter; (user info absent)” exception. Looks like copy loses this information somehow?!? Without appropriate public APIs one can't say :( (Since I can set up these events in the Home application freely with any kinds of action, it seems to be patently absurd not to open these APIs for privacy reasons, but that's another question, not for this ticket.) Anyway, I've tried to resort to checking for “all users at home” through pevent=[[HMPresenceEvent alloc] initWithPresenceEventType:HMPresenceEventTypeAtHome presenceUserType:HMPresenceEventUserTypeHomeUsers];where HMPresenceEventUserTypeHomeUsers is documented as “Presence of all home users”. Nevertheless, when I log out the result, I get just “any user“: [Presence-Event: type: HMPresenceTypeAnyUserAtHome, mode: HMPresenceEventActivationGranularityHome]That's unusable for me. I need to check for presence of all users (if checking for a particular one is really forbidden for some inexplicable reason). Please help. How to properly set up a trigger predicate for (ideally) a given specific HMUser, or at the very least, for a presence of all registered home users. Thanks!

Issue: Screen rotation becomes locked when updating the status bar on an iPhone Duo.
Issue: Screen rotation becomes locked when updating the status bar on an iPhone Duo. This does not appear to be a device-specific hardware issue; however, it occurs specifically on the iPhone Duo. In my app, if I change the status bar visibility (using prefersStatusBarHidden) while on the iPhone Duo’s external screen, and then immediately unfold the device to reveal the internal screen, the app’s rotation state becomes locked. Although I use prefersInterfaceOrientationLocked to manage rotation, the app remains locked even when this property returns false. The issue persists even when prefersInterfaceOrientationLocked is commented out or removed entirely. Returning to the device’s home screen, rotating the device, and then re-entering the app resolves the lock. Has anyone encountered or resolved a similar issue?

File Provider extension can't reach local network hosts on macOS 27, containing app can
On macOS 27 the File Provider extension of our app (Secure ShellFish, an SSH client) can't connect to any host on the local network, while the containing app connects to the same host on the same Mac without problems. Local Network is enabled for the app in System Settings, but every connection from the extension fails with "Local network prohibited". It did not happen on macOS 26 and still happens on macOS 27.2 (26B123). This is hitting end users of Secure ShellFish, not just my test setup, and it has been my number one support issue since macOS 27 was released. I filed this as FB24999927 with a sysdiagnose. I'm posting here to find out whether others with File Provider (or other) extensions see the same, and whether there is anything on our side that should make it work. Steps Install the app on a clean macOS 27 system and launch it. Choose Allow at the Local Network prompt. Add an SSH server on the local network (another Mac in my test) and open a terminal to it. This works. Open the same server in Finder (the File Provider domain under ~/Library/CloudStorage). The directory listing fails. What happens TN3179 says "In general, app extensions share the Local Network privilege state of their container app", so I expected the listing to load. Instead every connection from the extension to the LAN host is blocked, and the error depends on the networking API: CFStream: ENETDOWN (50) "Network is down" BSD socket connect(): EHOSTUNREACH (65) "No route to host" Network.framework (NWConnection, multipath TCP): waits with path unsatisfied (Local network prohibited) until our connect timeout, ETIMEDOUT (60) No Local Network prompt appears. Toggling the permission, rebooting, killing the extension process and reinstalling the app don't help. What I ruled out A stale extension process: freshly launched extension processes are blocked on their very first connection. A missing UUID cache: after installing a new build, nehelper populates the cache for the app with 14 UUIDs, including both slices of the extension's executable. The extension was blocked 23 seconds later. Shared executable UUIDs: the app and the extension have distinct Mach-O UUIDs. The sandbox: the extension has com.apple.security.network.client. A missing usage string: adding NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription to the extension's Info.plist changed nothing, with no prompt and no separate entry in System Settings. Networking in general: the extension reaches internet hosts and the Mac itself by its local name. Only other hosts on the local network are blocked. Log The blocked notification arrives with bundle_id: (null). UserEventAgent then maps the extension to the app by its UUID, nehelper answers that local network is allowed by preference, and the handler is called with the newly allowed state. Later connections from the same process are still blocked, so that state never takes effect for the extension. 09:19:37.575 UserEventAgent Got local network blocked notification: pid: 4297, uuid: 183484C2-8052-36AD-A81E-B02F15F875B3, bundle_id: (null) 09:19:37.575 UserEventAgent LocalNetwork: found bundle id com.appliedphasor.secure-shellfish.mac-provider by PID 09:19:37.575 ShellFish-Finder [C1.1.1 IPv6#dace0833.22 failed path (unsatisfied (Local network prohibited), interface: en0[802.11], ipv4, ipv6, uses wifi)] 09:19:37.576 UserEventAgent LocalNetwork: found bundle id com.appliedphasor.secure-shellfish by UUID 183484C2-8052-36AD-A81E-B02F15F875B3 09:19:37.597 nehelper UUID cache hit for com.appliedphasor.secure-shellfish 09:19:37.597 nehelper Local network allowed by preference for ShellFish (com.appliedphasor.secure-shellfish) 09:19:37.597 UserEventAgent App got response: 1 09:19:37.597 UserEventAgent Calling handler with newly allowed state: 1 09:19:44.795 fileproviderd populate-directory error: FP -1004 "Unable to list p5.local: Unable To Connect To P5.Local: Network Is Down."Questions Is this a known change in macOS 27? FB24035385 (helper and child processes no longer inherit Local Network access on macOS 27) sounds related, and other File Provider apps report the same, for example nextcloud/desktop#10885: https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/10885 Does an extension need anything on macOS 27 to share its container's Local Network privilege, such as an entitlement, an Info.plist key, or something the app must do first? If not, is there a supported workaround? The only one we see is to relay the extension's traffic through the main app over loopback, which only works while the app is running. For these users Finder integration is completely broken, because servers on the local network (Raspberry Pi, NAS, home servers) are the most common setup among them. Any pointers are much appreciated.

Simulator and Canvas 27.3 "identityservicesd quit unexpectedly"
Anyone working with the 27.3 devices beta in Xcode 27.3 on macOS 27.3? Canvas and device hub/simulator are throwing this error while open, several on first load, then periodically (not sure of the periodicity). Any help is appreciated. Not sure if it's impacting at the code or app, but it is interfering with active work (it assumes modal position while working). Can reproduce from Device Hub only (all other apps, including XCode closed), screencast here - demos 27.2 for the time it is started no errors, 27.3 as soon as it is started "identityservicesd quit unexpectedly" errors. Looks like stages in the rendering also - noticed dock not displayed, error, then dock displayed, next - home icons not displayed, error, then home icons displayed, etc. https://app.screencast.com/iK0BaVIVpjt0O

Notarization worked, then every submission rejected with 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization"
Following Quinn's advice in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/118465?answerId=379585022#379585022, I have opened a Developer Programs Support case and am posting here with the case number.

How precisely is a predicate evaluated for an HMEventTrigger?
Perhaps I am just stupid, but I can't quite grok that. What object is the predicate evaluated over, how, and at what moment? Originally I've thought when some event causes the trigger to fire, the predicate would just be evaluated over that event; but that can't be that simple, see please details below. I've set (in a 3rd party application; Home, far as I can say, does not allow that) a predicate “only when both of a pair of lights are off”. The predicate works perfectly, and the event really performs its action set only when both of the lights are off, so far so good. Nevertheless, I've dumped the predicate, and it looks like this (the first line is my own dump which is a bit more concise; the 2nd one is the standard description just to make sure that my own dump works properly): (((self.characteristic == 'Power State' of 'Lustr O') && (self.characteristicValue == 0)) && ((self.characteristic == 'Power State' of 'Knihovna') && (self.characteristicValue == 0))) (characteristic == <HMCharacteristic, Unique ID: 2E046807-9127-565F-B9CB-10BC0F2EE6D2, Type: 00000025, Instance ID: 9> AND characteristicValue == 0) AND (characteristic == <HMCharacteristic, Unique ID: 7444CCCE-1C1B-5234-8CAE-01DA4D811B8B, Type: 00000025, Instance ID: 9> AND characteristicValue == 0)I can't understand that at all :( I must be missing something of great importance, but it seems to me that a predicate which can be just as well[1] written as self.characteristic==A && self.characteristic==B && (some other conditions) can't ever evaluate to YES when A and B differ (which they self-evidently do in this case). The “to evaluate before executing the scene” of the documentation does not really help. What do I miss, can anybody explain that? Thanks! [1] Correct me please if I am wrong, but I do believe the logical AND is both an associative and an commutative operator, which makes this re-write fully equivalent to the original.

StoreKit 2 returns USA/USD in TestFlight but DEU/EUR in local Release build on the same device
Hi everyone, We are currently preparing the release of our Flutter-based iOS application and are experiencing an unusual StoreKit 2 storefront issue that only occurs when the app is installed through TestFlight. The problem When our application is installed through TestFlight, StoreKit 2 consistently returns the United States storefront (USA), and all six auto-renewable subscription products are displayed with USD prices. However, both the regular Apple Account and the Sandbox Apple Account are configured for Germany. We have verified the following: All six subscription products are correctly configured in App Store Connect with EUR prices for Germany. The subscriptions are available in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. We created a completely new Sandbox tester with Germany selected during account creation, using an email address that had never previously been used for sandbox testing. The issue occurs on two different physical devices (iPhone and iPad). No local StoreKit configuration file is used. Our application does not override the storefront, modify localized prices, or contain any hardcoded USD fallback. Controlled comparison We performed additional tests using the same application code on the same iPhone. The results were: Installation method Storefront Currency Local Debug build via Xcode/Flutter DEU EUR Local development-signed Release build via Flutter DEU EUR TestFlight Release build USA USD The locally installed Release build successfully retrieves all six subscription products with their correct German prices. For example, StoreKit returns the following values for one of our subscriptions: Local Release build: Storefront.current.countryCode = DEU Product currencyCode = EUR Product.displayPrice = 6,99 € TestFlight build: Storefront.current.countryCode = USA Product currencyCode = USD Both builds use the same StoreKit 2 integration and product identifiers. Technical environment Framework: Flutter StoreKit integration: StoreKit 2 Flutter plugin: in_app_purchase_storekit 0.4.11+2 Devices: Physical iPhone and iPad iOS/iPadOS: 26.6.2 Subscription products: Six auto-renewable subscriptions Expected storefront: Germany (DEU) Actual TestFlight storefront: United States (USA) We have traced the storefront country code directly to StoreKit 2’s Storefront.current.countryCode and the localized prices to the product information returned by Product.products(for:). There is no application-level storefront override or price conversion. Questions Why would StoreKit 2 return a different storefront in TestFlight compared with a locally installed development-signed Release build on the same physical device? Could TestFlight use a different sandbox storefront or Apple Account context than a locally installed build? Is there a recommended way to diagnose or reset the storefront association used by TestFlight? Has anyone experienced similar behavior where TestFlight consistently returns USA despite using a German Apple Account and newly created German sandbox testers? We have already contacted Apple Developer Support and followed their recommendation to create a completely new German sandbox tester, but the issue persists. Any guidance from Apple engineers or developers who have encountered similar behavior would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Unexpected Core Foundation attribute types when inspecting an existing Secure Enclave-associated Keychain key on macOS
Hello Apple Developer community, I'm investigating an unexpected metadata representation returned by Apple's Security framework while inspecting an existing Secure Enclave-associated Keychain item on macOS. A read-only inspection using SecItemCopyMatching returns one matching key record with a successful status, a Secure Enclave token identifier (com.apple.setoken), and a 256-bit key size. However, direct Core Foundation type inspection reports: kSecAttrKeyType: CFNumber kSecAttrKeyClass: CFNumber kSecAttrSynchronizable: CFNumber The raw Core Foundation observations and bridged observations agree. Our current validator rejects these unexpected types and returns UNSUPPORTED_OR_INCOMPLETE_METADATA. We have deliberately stopped further key operations pending clarification. Questions: Can these CFNumber values legitimately appear in a dictionary returned by SecItemCopyMatching for Secure Enclave-associated key items on macOS? What returned value types should be expected for these three attributes, and are they dependent on the query or Keychain implementation? Is there an Apple-recommended way to normalize or validate these attributes without incorrectly accepting incompatible metadata? How should an application distinguish an existing Secure Enclave-backed key from an incomplete or unsupported Keychain record without performing a private-key operation? Are there relevant Security framework documentation references or known implementation differences we should consult? Our aim is to validate the existing record safely without regenerating, deleting, or using the private key. Thank you for your guidance.

Waiting for Review Megathread
Hi all, It seems like there are a ton of us stuck in a "Waiting for Review" traffic jam, with Apple providing essentially no information on their end. Immensely frustrating. Given that, would people be up for posting their time submitted and (once they receive a review) editing to include the time it took? It would be good to get a sense of how long everyone is waiting. I'll go first: Submitted: October 8 Status: Waiting for review I'll update this post when I hear back.

macOS: How to reliably verify the absence of an extended ACL using a file descriptor?
We are implementing a fail-closed security check for a directory opened through a file descriptor on macOS. We need to reliably distinguish between: No extended ACL is present. An extended ACL is present but contains zero entries. ACL retrieval failed or is unsupported. Observed behavior For an existing directory with mode 0700: acl_get_fd_np(fd, ACL_TYPE_EXTENDED) returns NULL with errno == ENOENT. acl_get_file(path, ACL_TYPE_EXTENDED) returns NULL with errno == ENOENT. fstat() and lstat() agree on the device and inode. The directory exists and can be opened successfully. ls -ldeO@ displays no extended ACL entries. We reviewed Apple's open-source implementations of acl_get_fd_np() and filesec_get_property(). We understand that ENOENT can result from an unavailable FILESEC_ACL property, rather than a missing filesystem object. We also understand that XNU distinguishes an empty ACL from KAUTH_FILESEC_NOACL. Question Is there a publicly supported, file-descriptor-based API with documented postconditions that can reliably prove the absence of an extended ACL, while distinguishing it from an empty ACL and an ACL retrieval failure? Specifically: Can fstatx_np() and filesec_get_property() provide this distinction? Can fgetattrlist() with ATTR_CMN_EXTENDED_SECURITY and ATTR_CMN_RETURNED_ATTRS reliably establish ACL absence? What additional filesystem capability checks or return-value checks are required? If no public API provides this guarantee, is that a documented limitation? For security reasons, our implementation rejects the object whenever ACL absence cannot be established reliably. We would appreciate clarification of the supported API contract and its limitations. Thank you.

Unusually long “Waiting for Review” times this week (App Store + TestFlight delays?)
Hi everyone, I’m currently experiencing unusually long review waiting times and wanted to ask if others see the same behavior this week. My situation: • App Store update has been in “Waiting for Review” significantly longer than usual • A newly submitted build also seems stuck • TestFlight processing is slower than I normally see • Expedited review request and contact attempts didn’t change the status so far What confuses me is that I still see other apps receiving updates, so I’m unsure whether this is a broader review delay or something submission-specific. I’m not trying to escalate anything — just looking to understand if this is currently affecting more developers. Would really appreciate hearing about your recent experiences. Thanks and good luck to everyone waiting 🙂

Enrollment stuck for weeks — upload link returns "account not authorized" (/ineligible), no reply from Developer Support
My Apple Developer Program enrollment has been stuck for several weeks and I can't get a response through any channel. Hoping someone from Apple can flag this internally. Situation: The enrollment fee is already paid — authorized and showing as completed on my card. My government-issued photo ID was uploaded earlier, before I made the payment. Developer Support (Case #102982502169) emailed asking me to re-upload my ID via https://developer.apple.com/contact/file-upload/ — but that link redirects to /contact/file-upload/ineligible and shows "Sorry, you don't have access. Your account isn't authorized to upload files", even when I'm signed in as the account holder. So I physically cannot complete the step they asked for. What I've tried: Replied to the email thread (Case #102982502169, Case #103012285256, Case #103015741490) multiple times — no response. No phone/callback option is offered for my account. Apple Support chat confirmed they have no way to escalate to the developer team. Could someone please either enable the file upload for my case, or confirm my ID is already on file so enrollment can be completed? Case #102982502169. Happy to provide any details. Thank you.

App Stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 4+ Days Despite Multiple Expedited Review Requests
Hello Apple Developer Community, We are experiencing a significant delay with our first production release and would appreciate guidance from anyone who has faced a similar situation or can help escalate this to the appropriate Apple team. Our app, PriceEasy Enterprise, has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for over 4 days, and the review process has not started yet. App Details: App Name: PriceEasy Enterprise Apple App ID: 6822673059 Version: 1.0 Build: 4 (1.0.3) Current Status: Waiting for Review What we have tried so far: Submitted 4–5 expedited review requests through Apple's official channel. Contacted Apple Developer Support requesting manual escalation. Sent follow-up emails explaining the business impact. Requested a callback from the support team and provided contact details for our Senior Developer and CEO. Unfortunately, we haven't received any meaningful response or update, and the submission remains in the same status. Business Impact: Our company's headquarters is in Houston, Texas, USA, and we serve clients across the US and internationally. This release is important for our business operations and client commitments. The delay is affecting our planned launch. We would appreciate help with the following: Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently? Were you able to get your submission moved into review through Developer Support or another escalation channel? Is there any way to get direct assistance from the App Review Operations team? Can an Apple representative help investigate why the submission has not yet been picked up for review? We understand that Apple needs sufficient time to review every submission. However, given the repeated expedited requests and lack of response, we would really appreciate some guidance or assistance. Thank you for your time and help.

Stuck in Waiting for Review!
Hey, I waited 2 weeks almost for my app to be reviewed and then it was rejected for 4.8 which I fixed that evening and re-submitted the updated version, now almost a week on nothing has happened. No replies to support tickets either. This is just not good enough, we all pay our yearly fees and this service!! And then you see that other apps (new and updates) are approved in a day or 2. Some transparency would be really helpful! App ID - 6812923427 Come on Apple sort this nightmare out!

Resubmission stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 8 days despite an approved expedited review
My app Gaft (Apple ID 6798040496) was rejected on October 27 under 5.1.1(i)/5.1.2(i). I fixed the issues and resubmitted build 60 on October 28, 2026 (submission ID 7a53fa92-fcea-43fb-a0f6-37620fe0eb77). An expedited review was approved on November 2, but the submission (app version, two subscriptions and one in-app purchase) is still in "Waiting for Review" with no messages. Developer Support case: 103002520980. Agreements and banking are active. Could the App Review team please check whether this submission is stuck? Thank you.

Apple Developer Program enrollment Pending for 4 weeks
Hello everyone, I am looking for assistance or guidance regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. My Apple Developer Support Case ID is 102993829177. Timeline of my enrollment and communications with Apple Developer Support October 8, 2026 - Paid the $99 Apple Developer Program membership fee and received an official payment confirmation from Apple. On the same day, I submitted my Russian international passport for identity verification. Apple confirmed receipt of the document. However, my enrollment remained Pending, and the system continued asking me to purchase the membership again. October 12 - Contacted Apple Developer Support for the first time regarding my pending enrollment. Support case 102993829177 was created. October 16–17 - Received a response from an Apple Developer Support representative explaining that my international passport confirmed my country, but additional documentation was required to verify my city of residence in Russia. October 17 - Replied to the support representative and submitted photographs of my Russian internal passport, including the identification page and the residential registration page showing my current address. No response received. October 22 - Sent a follow-up email asking for confirmation that the documents had been received and requesting information about the next steps. No response received. October 29 - Contacted support again to request an update on my enrollment and document verification. No response received. In summary, I have sent three messages since the additional documents were requested - on October 17, 22, and 29 - without receiving any response. As of November 5, 2026, it has been 28 days since my payment and 19 days since I submitted the additional documents. My Apple Developer account still shows "Pending" and continues to display "Purchase your membership", even though the membership fee has already been paid. Phone support is not available to me. I understand that document verification may take additional time. However, I currently have no confirmation that my latest documents have been received and are being reviewed, or whether any further action is required from me. I would appreciate any guidance from Apple Developer Support representatives or community members on how to obtain an update on my enrollment status and determine the next steps. Apple Developer Support Case ID: 102993829177. Thank you for your assistance!
