Apple Developer: create/join new team?
I'm a contractor. Not an app store/Mac expert. A few years ago I connected my Apple account to a team I was working with. They set me up as the Account Holder for their team. I forgot all about that, and today I want to set up a new team for another contract, so I reactivated my Developer account. I find I'm still the Account Holder for that old project, and I don't see how to create a new Team and switch to it. (I did send a request for someone to take over the old team, but who knows when they'll get to that, if ever.) All I need is to create a couple of signing certs, but not for the old team.

iPhone Screentime feature makes little sense
What is the point of having the screen time feature if you can just disable it? Say for example I want to enable an app blocker on my phone in order to be more productive. It requires the passcode to enable it. But I can simply disable any blocker just by using the same passcode. Can Apple make it so that my app blockers work? So that if I just get bored I can’t simply disable it then go on YouTube and waste 2 hours of my life?

I cannot update my iPad 8 to iOS 18 Beta 3
I was trying to update my iPad 8th Generation, but ran into some trouble. Since my iPad didn’t have enough capacity to install the update directly, I connected it to my MacBook M1 and downloaded the iPad OS 18 IPSW file. Unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned. I got an error message saying, "The iPad 'My iPad' could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible." Has anyone else faced this issue or found a solution? Any help would be appreciated!

Resetting iPhone Mirroring credentials
I had iPhone Mirroring in MacOS 15 working, but something glitched on my iPhone and I had to perform a "Reset All Settings" and now I can no longer connect to my iPhone. I assume that some key has been cached when I connected initially, but I can't figure out how to reset the connection. Does anybody have any suggestion as to how to reset the connection?

Payment Deducted over 5 days ago, but developer account not activated yet
Hi, my payment for Apple Developer account was deducted 5 days ago, and since then on my developer macOS app, I am seeing the message that "You'll receive an email soon" and on website: "Your purchase may take upto 48 hours to process" I have also sent a couple of emails to Apple support 3 days ago but haven't heard back from them on that too. Does it take this much time for activation? If so why don't they update the proper timeline on website instead of giving anxiety to developers. That's just not done. Please help on this.

How to parse the PingFangUI.ttc on iOS 18?
I've noticed that the font file PingFang.ttc is no longer in /System/Library/Fonts/LanguageSupport/ on iOS 18. And I use CoreText APIs get the new font file, which is int the FontServices.framework and named PingFangUI.ttc. But it doesn't seem to be a regular TrueType font collection. It can't be parsed correctly by stb_truetype. I copied this file to my mac, and it can't be opened by Font.app either, which says it doesn't contain installable fonts. It also can’t pass font validation (Font.app → File → Verify File), saying “System validation failed”, I don't know what that means. So I tried to read the binary of that file. I've noticed that the ‘CFF ‘ table is missing in the new font file, and there is a new table 'hvgl'. But I can't find any documentation for this table. Maybe this is a new format. And what confuses me is that the TTC header of the new font file has not changed, same as the old PingFang.ttc file, with a ‘ttcf’ tag, and majorVersion is 2 minorVersion is 0. Please tell me how to parse the new format, so maybe I can modify stb_truetype to get our app to work. Thanks!

App Store Small Business Program Application Review Timeline
Hello Apple Developer Community, I applied to the App Store Small Business Program a month ago and have not yet received any feedback or decision on my application. I was wondering if there is an expected timeline for the review process or if there might be a delay I should be aware of. Could anyone share their experiences or insights on how long it generally takes for the application review? Any guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
