Overview

Dear App Review Team, We are raising serious concerns regarding the ongoing review process for the app (App ID: 6737148404), which has once again been escalated to the App Review Board—just days after the previous issue was finally resolved. We submitted a new build on June 18 containing a standard feature update. The app entered "In Review" promptly, but after 3 days with no communication, it has now been escalated to the board again, likely. This pattern is deeply troubling. What’s particularly alarming is that it appears the current reviewer lacks the necessary context or understanding of the app, and instead of engaging with us or taking ownership of the review, they’ve defaulted to escalating it without providing any rationale or feedback. This repeated hand-off to the board without accountability or explanation is effectively grinding our release process to a halt. Based on past experience, we suspect we are now waiting for another board meeting early next week—which means yet another week lost to silence and uncertainty. This is not a scalable or sustainable process. This is one of the top performing apps on visionOS, and yet every iteration—regardless of how minor—is delayed by escalations and inaction. These delays are damaging to our business, destabilizing to our user experience, and increasingly eroding our trust in the App Review process. We urgently request: Immediate clarity on the current review status A direct line of communication with someone accountable for the review An explanation as to why nearly every update requires board involvement We’ve complied fully with all App Store guidelines. All standard support channels have already been exhausted without resolution. This cycle must change. We are ready and willing to work collaboratively, but we need responsiveness and consistency from Apple in return. App ID: 6737148404

The SwiftUI Navigation structures work in ways that are not intuitive to me. For example, I am trying to display a set of data that represents rankings contained in a balloting system that I have created. The ballots all have candidates that are ranked from highest preference to lowest. Normally, I try to work backwards in SwiftUI, so I built the ballot editor to take a binding to the ballot itself: struct BallotEditor: View { @Binding var ballot: Election.Ballot var maxRank: Int var body: some View { VStack { ForEach($ballot.rankings) { $ranking in CandidateRankingPicker(maxRanking: maxRank, ranking: $ranking) } } } } This is embedded into a view with a list of ballots: struct BallotsView: View { @Binding var document: ElectionDocument var body: some View { List($document.ballots) { $ballot in NavigationLink { BallotEditor(ballot: $ballot, maxRank: document.election.candidates.count) .padding() } label: { BallotListElementView(ballot: ballot) } } } } This portion works in the editor. When the ballot is selected, the editor populates the selected candidate choices, and the editing works. However, when I attempt to insert BallotsView into a TabView, the NavigationLink stops working as expected. I didn't think NavigationLink was the proper way to do this, but it had been working. TabView { Tab("Ballots", systemImage: "menucard") { BallotsView(document: $document) } Tab { CandidateView() } label: { Text("Candidates") } .tabViewStyle(.sidebarAdaptable) } This is my third iteration. I have tried using a List with selection, but in that case, I am unable to pass the binding to the detail view. I just don't understand how this works, and I am preparing a version in Cocoa so that I don't have to deal with it anymore.

I maintain a couple of CoreImage libraries that provide custom Metal kernel backed CIFilters. In iOS/iPadOS 26, the CIColorKernel.apply() method invoked in the CIFilter subclass fails to add the coreimage::destination parameter to the Metal function call: -[CIColorKernel applyWithExtent:arguments:options:] argument count mismatch for kernel 'FractalNoise3D', expected 13 but saw 12. I've compiled the code with Xcode 26 and deployed to iOS 18 devices without any breakage, so this is definitely an iOS problem, not an Xcode problem.

Hello everyone, I've encountered a fascinating and perplexing rendering anomaly when using UIBezierPath(roundedRect:cornerRadius:) to create a CGPath. Summary of the Issue: When the shortest side of the rectangle (min(width, height)) is just under a certain multiple of the cornerRadius (empirically, around 3x), the algorithm for generating the path seems to change entirely. This results in a path with visually different (and larger) corners than when the side is slightly longer, even with the same cornerRadius parameter. How to Reproduce: The issue is most clearly observed with a fixed cornerRadius while slightly adjusting the rectangle's height or width across a specific threshold. Create a UIView (contentView) and another UIView (shadowView) behind it. Set the shadowView.layer.shadowPath using UIBezierPath(roundedRect: contentView.bounds, cornerRadius: 16).cgPath. Adjust the height of the contentView. Observe the shadowPath at height 48 vs. height 49 Minimal Reproducible Example: Here is a simple UIViewController to demonstrate the issue. You can drop this into a project. Tapping the "Toggle Height" button will switch between the two states and print the resulting CGPath to the console. import UIKit class PathTestViewController: UIViewController { private let contentView = UIView() private let shadowView = UIView() private var heightConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint! private let cornerRadius: CGFloat = 16.0 private let normalHeight: CGFloat = 49 private let anomalyHeight: CGFloat = 48 override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .systemGray5 setupViews() setupButton() } override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() { super.viewDidLayoutSubviews() updateShadowPath() } private func updateShadowPath() { let newPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: contentView.bounds, cornerRadius: cornerRadius).cgPath shadowView.layer.shadowPath = newPath } private func setupViews() { // ContentView (the visible rect) contentView.backgroundColor = .systemBlue contentView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false contentView.isHidden = true // ShadowView (to render the path) shadowView.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor shadowView.layer.shadowOpacity = 1 shadowView.layer.shadowRadius = 2 shadowView.layer.shadowOffset = .zero shadowView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false view.addSubview(shadowView) view.addSubview(contentView) heightConstraint = contentView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: normalHeight) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ contentView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), contentView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor), contentView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 300), heightConstraint, shadowView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.topAnchor), shadowView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.bottomAnchor), shadowView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.leadingAnchor), shadowView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.trailingAnchor), ]) } private func setupButton() { let button = UIButton(type: .system, primaryAction: UIAction(title: "Toggle Height", handler: { [unowned self] _ in let newHeight = self.heightConstraint.constant == self.normalHeight ? self.anomalyHeight : self.normalHeight self.heightConstraint.constant = newHeight UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) { self.view.layoutIfNeeded() } })) button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false view.addSubview(button) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ button.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), button.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor, constant: -20) ]) } } Evidence: CGPath Analysis Note: The CGPath data below is from my initial observation. At that time, height 48.7 produced a path with straight edges. Now, this "correct" path is only produced at height 49.0 or greater. The inconsistency now occurs at 48.7.* The key difference lies in the raw CGPath data. Path for Height = 48.7 (Expected Behavior) The path is constructed with lineto commands for the straight edges between the curved corners. // Path for Height 48.7 Path 0x60000300a0a0: moveto (24.4586, 0) lineto (24.5414, 0) // <-- Straight line on top edge curveto (31.5841, 0) (35.1055, 0) (38.8961, 1.19858) ... Path for Height = 48.6 (Anomalous Behavior) The lineto commands for the short edges disappear. The path is composed of continuous curveto commands, as if the two corners have merged into a single, larger curve. This creates the visual discrepancy. // Path for Height 48.6 Path 0x600003028630: moveto (24.1667, 0) lineto (24.1667, 0) // <-- Zero-length line curveto (24.1667, 0) (24.1667, 0) (24.1667, 0) lineto (25.375, 1.44329e-15) curveto (34.8362, -2.77556e-16) (43.2871, 5.9174) (46.523, 14.808) // <-- First curve curveto (48.3333, 20.5334) (48.3333, 25.8521) (48.3333, 36.4896) // <-- Second curve, no straight line in between ... min.length == 48 min.length == 49 My Questions: Is this change in the path-generation algorithm at this specific size/radius threshold an intended behavior, or is it a bug? Is this behavior documented anywhere? The threshold doesn't seem to be a clean side/radius == 2.0, so it's hard to predict. Is there a recommended workaround to ensure consistent corner rendering across these small size thresholds? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Apple team, I'm integrating Sign in with Apple on my website https://roomieqindia.com using a custom Node.js backend, and I'm consistently receiving this error: invalid_client My configuration: ✅ Service ID: com.roomieq.auth ✅ Team ID: 75XVX5RXMQ ✅ Key ID: (from Apple-generated .p8 key) ✅ Private Key: (.p8 key pasted correctly in backend) ✅ App ID Selected: com.roomieq.roomieq ✅ Domain Added: roomieqindia.com ✅ Return URL: https://roomieqindia.com ✅ Clicked Done → Continue → Save after configuration Behavior: When I open this URL directly in browser: https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?client_id=com.roomieq.auth&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Froomieqindia.com&response_type=code%20id_token&scope=name%20email&response_mode=web_message&frame_id=ef13a755-75bb-4eef-8dd6-73bd75d6ede5&m=11&v=1.5.5 I get invalid_client. My backend uses apple-signin-auth Node.js package to: Generate the client secret (JWT) Exchange auth code for tokens Verify ID token Everything fails at step 1 because Apple doesn’t seem to recognize my Service ID as valid. What I Need: Can you please verify if: My Service ID ( com.roomieq.auth ) is fully active and recognized My App ID and Service ID are properly linked on Apple’s end There are any hidden issues with domain or return URL setup Let me know if I need to reset the Service ID or regenerate anything. Thanks in advance!

Hello team, I submitted an appeal over a week ago regarding my app's rejection, but I haven't received any confirmation that the appeal was received, nor any update on its status. I just want to ensure it went through properly. Could you please let me know if it has been received and how long the review process could take? The app id is: 6747082874 Thank you in advance for your help.

Problem I’m trying to implement Sign in with Apple in my application. However, when my app redirects to the Apple authorization page at: https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize I get an invalid_client error with no further explanation. Settings I followed this article closely: [https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/06/04/what-the-heck-is-sign-in-with-apple#generate-the-client-secret] Steps I have completed: Created an App ID and a Service ID on Apple Developer Portal. Enabled “Sign in with Apple” for both the App ID and the Service ID. Added my domain and callback URL to the Service ID configuration. (I'm using ngrok to proxy my localhost during development.) Linked an existing private key with “Sign in with Apple” capability. My identifiers: Service ID is used as client_id Team ID is taken from the top right of the Apple Developer dashboard Key ID is from the private key associated with the App Environment My backend is built with Laravel, and I'm using the [SocialiteProvider/Apple][https://socialiteproviders.com/Apple/#installation-basic-usage] library to handle the OAuth flow. I followed the recommended method to generate a client secret (JWT) for each request, using this blog post: [https://bannister.me/blog/generating-a-client-secret-for-sign-in-with-apple-on-each-request] My .env configuration looks like this: APPLE_CLIENT_ID=com.service.paxton.stockApp APPLE_TEAM_ID=25729642DK APPLE_KEY_ID=JFP9Q53ZCY APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY=storage/AppleDev-AuthKey_JFP9Q53ZCY.p8 JWT Generation I also tested generating the JWT using the Ruby script from the Okta article: [https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/06/04/what-the-heck-is-sign-in-with-apple#generate-the-client-secret] Here is the script I used: require 'jwt' key_file = './storage/AppleDev-AuthKey_JFP9Q53ZCY.p8' team_id = '25729642DK' client_id = 'com.service.paxton.stockObserve' key_id = 'JFP9Q53ZCY' ecdsa_key = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.new IO.read key_file headers = { 'kid' => key_id } claims = { 'iss' => team_id, 'iat' => Time.now.to_i, 'exp' => Time.now.to_i + 86400*180, 'aud' => 'https://appleid.apple.com', 'sub' => client_id, } token = JWT.encode claims, ecdsa_key, 'ES256', headers puts token This JWT validates correctly. I’ve also used Apple’s public key to verify the signature, and it passed. I verified the JWT header and payload format using this helpful article: [https://fluffy.es/how-to-solve-invalid_client-error-in-sign-in-with-apple/] Third-Party Testing To eliminate mistakes in my setup, I even tried a third-party tool featured in this YouTube video: [https://youtu.be/8v01TaX1EJA?si=0jOBGBVk0R0zbmdo] Unfortunately, the result was the same — invalid_client. Question I’ve double-checked everything I can think of: keys, claims, domain whitelist, identifiers. I even verified the JWT independently. If anyone (especially someone from Apple) can help identify the missing piece, I would be truly grateful.

Hi everyone, I am using Xcode 16.4 in MacOS Sequoia 15.5 with Apple Intelligence turned on. The following code gives the error message in the title: import NaturalLanguage @available(iOS 18.0, *) func testSystemModel() { let model = SystemLanguageModel.default print(model) } What am I missing?

I am trying to implement Apple Login on the web. The language I am using is PHP. I have created the App ID, Service ID, and Key. In the Service ID, I clicked the Configure button for Sign In With Apple and entered the domain and return URL. However, when I click the login button, I only get an "invalid_client" error screen. This is my php code: <?php $clientId = 'com.fallinf.signin.service'; $redirectURI = 'https://www.fallinf.com/?id=inc&action=apple_auth'; $scope = 'email'; $state = bin2hex(random_bytes(5)); ?> <html> <head> <meta name="appleid-signin-client-id" content="<?=$clientId?>"> <meta name="appleid-signin-redirect-uri" content="<?=$redirectURI?>"> <meta name="appleid-signin-scope" content="<?=$scope?>"> <meta name="appleid-signin-state" content="<?=$state?>"> <meta name="appleid-signin-use-popup" content="true"> </head> <body> <div id="appleid-signin" data-color="black" data-border="true" data-type="sign in"></div> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://appleid.cdn-apple.com/appleauth/static/jsapi/appleid/1/ko_KR/appleid.auth.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> document.addEventListener('AppleIDSignInOnSuccess', (data) => { console.log("AppleIDSignInOnSuccess") }); document.addEventListener('AppleIDSignInOnFailure', (error) => { console.log("AppleIDSignInOnFailure") }); </script> </body> </html>

I tried to use the .deny deleteRule but it seems to have no effect. The toolbar button adds an item with a relationship to a category to the context. Swiping on the category deletes the category even though an item is referencing the category. There is also no error thrown when saving the context. It is as if the deleteRule was not there. For other deleteRules like .cascade, the provided sample code works as expected. import SwiftUI import SwiftData @Model class Category { var name: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .deny) var items: [Item] = [] init(name: String) { self.name = name } } @Model class Item { var name: String var category: Category? init(name: String, category: Category) { self.name = name self.category = category } } struct DenyDeleteRule: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Query private var categories: [Category] @Query private var items: [Item] var body: some View { List { Section("Items") { ForEach(items) { item in Text(item.name) } } Section("Categories") { ForEach(categories) { category in VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(category.name).bold() ForEach(category.items) { item in Text("• \(item.name)") } } } .onDelete(perform: deleteCategory) } } .toolbar { Button("Add Sample") { let category = Category(name: "Sample") let item = Item(name: "Test Item", category: category) modelContext.insert(item) } } } func deleteCategory(at offsets: IndexSet) { for index in offsets { let category = categories[index] modelContext.delete(category) do { try modelContext.save() } catch { print(error) } } } } #Preview { NavigationStack { DenyDeleteRule() } .modelContainer(for: [Item.self, Category.self], inMemory: true) }

Apple, please provide access to face tracking blend shapes on vision os, just like you do on iOS. You have the best eye and face tracking implementation on the market, please let us use it. There is a sizable audience who will buy the headset just for it. I personally know multiple people who are not buying the headset simply because you locked those features out. No raw camera access is needed, just abstracted blendshapes values. You will make the headset so much more useful if you do this simple thing.

Updated to iOS 26 beta and now the TV remote app in the control center won’t open. I’ve tried the following: Restart phone Remove shortcut and re-add Cant find any other troubleshooting methods for this issue online so I’m guessing it’s a new problem.

I’m building a music app using Apple Music streaming via ApplicationMusicPlayer. My goal is to decrease the volume of the current song during the last 10 seconds, and when the next track begins, restore the volume to its normal level. I know that ApplicationMusicPlayer doesn’t expose a volume API, and I want to avoid triggering the system volume HUD. ✅ Using Apple Music streaming (not local files) ❓ Is it possible to implement per-track fade-out/fade-in logic with ApplicationMusicPlayer? Appreciate any clarification or official guidance!

Dear Apple Developer Technical Support, We are currently following the official Apple documentation “TN3159: Migrating Sign in with Apple users for an app transfer” to carry out a Sign in with Apple user migration after successfully transferring several apps to a new developer account. Here is a summary of our situation: Under the original Apple developer account, we had five apps using Sign in with Apple, grouped under a shared primary app using App Grouping. Recently, we transferred three of these apps to our new Apple developer account via App Store Connect. After the transfer, these three apps are no longer associated with the original primary App ID. We reconfigured individual Services IDs for each app in the new account and enabled Sign in with Apple for each. More than 24 hours have passed since the app transfer was completed. Now we are attempting to follow the migration process to restore user access via the user.migration flow. Specifically, we are using the following script to request an Apple access token: url = "https://appleid.apple.com/auth/token" headers = {"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"} data = { "grant_type": "client_credentials", "scope": "user.migration", "client_id": "com.game.friends.ios.toptop.sea", # New Services ID in the new account "client_secret": "<JWT signed with new p8 key>" } response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data) However, the API response consistently returns: { "error": "invalid_client" } We have verified that the following configurations are correct: The client_secret is generated using the p8 key from the new account, signed with ES256 and correct key_id, team_id, and client_id. The client_id corresponds to the Services ID created in the new account and properly associated with the migrated app. The scope is set to user.migration. The JWT payload contains correct iss, sub, and aud values as per Apple documentation. The app has been fully transferred and reconfigured more than 24 hours ago. Problem Summary & Request for Support: According to Apple’s official documentation: “After an app is transferred, Apple updates the Sign in with Apple configuration in the background. This can take up to 24 hours. During this time, attempts to authenticate users or validate tokens may fail.” However, we are still consistently receiving invalid_client errors after the 24-hour waiting period. We suspect one of the following issues: The transferred apps may still be partially associated with the original App Grouping or primary App ID. Some Sign in with Apple configuration in Apple’s backend may not have been fully updated after the transfer. Or the Services ID is not yet fully operational for the transferred apps in the new account. We kindly request your assistance to: Verify whether the transferred apps have been completely detached from the original App Grouping and primary App ID. Confirm whether the new Services IDs under the new account are fully functional and eligible for Sign in with Apple with user.migration scope. Help identify any remaining configuration or migration issues that may cause the invalid_client error. If necessary, assist in manually ungrouping or clearing any residual App Grouping relationships affecting the new environment. We have also generated and retained the original transfer_sub identifiers and are fully prepared to complete the sub mapping once the user.migration flow becomes functional. Thank you very much for your time and support!

We are currently developing a VoIP application that supports Local Push extention. I would like to ask for your advice on how the extension works when the iPhone goes into sleep mode. Our App are using GCD (Grand Central Dispatch) to perform periodic processing within the extension, creating a cycle by it. [sample of an our source] class LocalPushProvider: NEAppPushProvider { let activeQueue: DispatchQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.myapp.LocalPushProvider.ActiveQueue", autoreleaseFrequency: .workItem) var activeSchecule: Cancellable? override func start(completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) { : self.activeSchecule = self.activeQueue.schedule( after: .init(.now() + .seconds(10)), // start schedule after 10sec interval: .seconds(10) // interval 10sec ) { self.activeTimerProc() } completionHandler(nil) } } However In this App that we are confirming that when the iPhone goes into sleep mode, self.activeTimerProc() is not called at 10-second intervals, but is significantly delayed (approximately 30 to 180 seconds). What factors could be causing the timer processing using GCD not to be executed at the specified interval when the iPhone is in sleep mode? Also, please let us know if there are any implementation errors or points to note. I apologize for bothering you during your busy schedule, but I would appreciate your response.

Hi there, I'm wondering if it's possible under iOS 28 developer beta to enable MetalFX scaling info with '{"MTL_HUD_ENABLED": "1" for my App. This information has been added to Mac, but looks to be absent on iPhone / iPad
