Hi, I’m a winner of the Apple Swift Student Challenge and wanted to ask about a couple of things. It has been around two weeks since I received the winning notification, but I haven’t received any update regarding the delivery of the AirPods Max (2th generation). Additionally, I wanted to check on the Apple Developer Program upgrade that is included with the award. My account doesn’t appear to be upgraded yet. Could you please confirm the timeline for both the prize shipment and the developer program upgrade, or let me know if anything is required from my side? Just want to make sure everything is on track. Thank you! Best regards, Kiaan

Hello, Can you please tell me why I can’t accept the developer agreement?I have a valid application, but I can’t publish a new application, it says that there is a new agreement and needs to be updated, but when I log in, it says that I’m sorry, you can’t register at the moment, your account is already linked.

I have been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for over a week and I'm completely blocked. I'm reaching out here as a last resort after exhausting every option. The problem: Every enrollment attempt fails immediately after I select "Individual" and agree to the terms. I never reach the payment step. The only message I receive is: "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." What I've tried: 3+ different Apple IDs (including brand new ones created specifically for this) Safari, Chrome, and Opera browsers Home WiFi and mobile data (different networks) Apple Developer app on iPhone Called Apple Developer Support — they said they cannot see a reason and cannot help Opened a support ticket — no response after 1 week My setup: Country: Turkey All Apple IDs have matching region and phone number (+90) No VPN during any attempt Two-factor authentication enabled on all accounts What I need: This appears to be a backend block that frontline support cannot see or resolve. I am requesting escalation to a team that can investigate and manually clear whatever is blocking my enrollment. I have a macOS app ready to submit to the App Store. This enrollment block is the only thing preventing me from publishing. Any help from Apple staff or developers who have resolved a similar situation would be greatly appreciated.

Xcode Cloud builds fail at the export archive step. The critical log shows: Account "Session Proxy Provider": Unable to authenticate with App Store Connect Error Domain=DVTServicesSessionProviderCredentialITunesAuthenticationContextError Code=1 "(null)" And in DVTITunesSoftwareService.log: App Store Connect response failed with unknown failure; response (null); error (null) error: DVTServicesSessionProviderCredentialITunesAuthenticationContextError.proxy Environment: Xcode Cloud, iOS app, team type Individual (S43L28SVX2) What I have ruled out: Regenerated all DISTRIBUTION_MANAGED certificates (per thread 744683) — portal API is reachable, certs issued successfully Removed an obsolete App Groups entitlement that was causing a secondary error — that error is now gone All agreements accepted, no pending legal items Failure persists across multiple builds with identical symptoms The developer portal API responds correctly. The failure is isolated to the App Store Connect store configuration endpoint specifically, where the proxy returns response (null) — no HTTP response at all. This appears identical to thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/810658 where Apple confirmed the root cause was a backend API permission issue for the team requiring an Apple-side fix. Support case 102857550486 was opened but redirected to admin support without technical investigation. Has anyone else hit this recently, or can an Apple engineer look at the backend state for this team?

We are seeing what looks like a signing / managed-capability mismatch for Contactless Pass Provisioning. Environment Team ID: S7AUTD2C2B Bundle IDs: com.swiftpass.ios com.swiftpass.ios.dev Xcode: 26.4 macOS: 26.4 Problem Our app has had Contactless Pass Provisioning approved by Apple for a long time, and builds were working until a few days ago. Without any intentional signing/capability changes on our side, Xcode started failing with the following error: Provisioning profile "Swiftpass prod Appstore" doesn't include the Contactless Pass Provisioning capability. Contactless Pass Provisioning capability needs to be assigned to your team and bundle identifier by Apple in order to be included in a profile. Observed behavior Xcode marks the relevant provisioning profiles as "Ineligible" in the profile selector. This affects both development/debug and release/App Store builds. If we remove Contactless Pass Provisioning from the app entitlements/capabilities, the exact same profiles immediately become eligible and the signing error disappears. Important detail The downloaded provisioning profiles already contain the entitlement that Xcode claims is missing. We verified the downloaded profile with: security cms -D -i /Users/sergej/Downloads/Swiftpass_prod_Appstore\(1\).mobileprovision and it contains: <key>com.apple.developer.contactless-payment-pass-provisioning</key> <array> <string>shareablecredential</string> </array> So the issue appears to be that the profile contents look correct the capability is still present in the developer portal but Xcode's eligibility check still says the profile does not include the capability What we verified Contactless Pass Provisioning is still enabled for the App ID in the Apple Developer portal Newly recreated / redownloaded profiles still contain the entitlement Both dev and distribution profiles are affected The behavior is reproducible across profile refreshes and local cleanup What we already tried Reinstalled Xcode Updated Xcode and macOS Updated command line tools Cleaned DerivedData Deleted local provisioning profile cache Refreshed/redownloaded profiles from Xcode Recreated provisioning profiles in the developer portal Removed and re-added the capability in Xcode Expected behavior If the downloaded provisioning profile contains com.apple.developer.contactless-payment-pass-provisioning, Xcode should treat that profile as eligible. Actual behavior Xcode reports that the capability is missing and marks the profile as ineligible, even though the entitlement is present in the downloaded profile. Question Has anyone seen this specific mismatch with Contactless Pass Provisioning or other managed capabilities? This currently looks like either: an Apple backend/App ID capability-assignment sync problem, or an Xcode eligibility-validation bug for managed capabilities Feedback Assistant ID: FB22439399. It contains screenshots that showcase the issue as well.

After updating my Xcode to the latest, I am unable to download an installed app container from the Xcode Devices screen.

After updating to Xcode 26.4 the pasteboard sharing feature in the simulators doesn't work.

Xcode 26.4 on macOS 26.3.1 cannot pair a real Apple Watch for development. iPhone companion is visible and stable in Devices and Simulators. Watch is paired to iPhone and works normally, but Xcode shows: CoreDeviceError Code: 4 RemotePairingError Code: 1007 “The device rejected the connection request.” “Ensure the device is paired with this machine.” What I already tried: trusted Mac on iPhone re-paired Watch with iPhone reconnected iPhone by cable reset authorized computers on Watch restarted devices reopened Devices and Simulators Result: iPhone remains stable Watch is seen intermittently or stays reconnecting / rejects pairing app logic is otherwise working on iPhone side Need: steps to restore Watch ↔ Xcode development pairing without further destructive resets.

I pay'd 99$ 2 weeks ago and didnt recive any email, any respons from apple, I send 6 emails, and nothing, Apple just Scammed me? Did anyone was in my situation?

Hello, I payd for being a developer for about a week. Also I opened a case at apple developer support. My account is till now not activated. Can the support here help me? Best regards.

My development work is paused as Xcode is now non-functional on my Macs. Loading any project into Xcode soon leads to a hang and Force Quit. The SDKs are listed as "status unavailable". No Simulators are available. I've tried previous versions of Xcode; removing everything and re-installing; installation from the Store and direct from the Apple Developer site. I've created a Feedback issue. This happens on both of my Mac minis. I'm running Tahoe 26.4 (25E246) on both.

I have an issue where I’m pushing out my builds to TestFlight, it goes through. sometimes there’s an error saying that it can’t download but if I try a couple times it goes through. but when I go through and look at my app (That TestFlight says is running the updated version) all I see is the old version

Typically, it's a simple process of accepting the new agreement, but in this case, I do not see any updates on https://developer.apple.com/account, yet on the App Store Connect, I keep seeing "A new version of your Paid Applications agreement is available." And I'm stuck, not being able to upload any new builds. Support wasn't responsive. Any suggestions? Maybe I'm missing something?

I completed payment for the Apple Developer Program 7 days ago, but my account still shows Pending. The enrollment page still says “Complete your purchase” and shows the Purchase button for the same enrollment. I already contacted Apple Developer Support, but there is still no resolution. Has anyone experienced this and had Apple manually fix or link the payment?

Hello, I purchased the Apple Developer Program membership on March 31, 2026. The payment of $99 was successfully charged and I received the official invoice. However, my account is still not activated. Details: Invoice Number: MC61586466 Sales Order Number: AEV3074218 Web Order Number: D009560110 Purchase Date: 2026-03-31 Amount: $99.00 I have already contacted Apple Support multiple times but received no human response. Could anyone from Apple staff please manually activate my account or advise on next steps? Thank you.

after update to xocde14, build my old project , and get error build: Command SwiftCompile failed with a nonzero exit code.

Hi everyone, I've been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for the past 5 days and keep hitting the same error at the final step: "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred." I've already contacted Apple Developer Support but have not received any response after 5 days. I've also tried: Different browsers and clearing cache/cookies Different network connections My Apple ID is in good standing and my payment method is valid. The error gives no further details, which makes it hard to troubleshoot. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Any help or guidance from Apple staff would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello Apple Developer Support Team, I completed my Apple Developer Program enrollment directly through the Developer app on site https://developer.apple.com . The identity verification and payment were successfully processed. However, when I log in via the web, I still see the message “Complete Your Purchase,” and my enrollment status appears as Pending. The system seems to be asking me to proceed with enrollment again. I applied on April 4, 2026 but still haven't been getting any mail activation back or email ticket, phone call from Apple. Could you please review my account and clarify the current status of my enrollment? Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, Has anyone else experienced paying through the Apple Developer app, then not being able to access the account? It says I need to register via the website, but it asks me to pay again. I contacted Apple Developer support twice and they have not responded yet. Any help would be great! Switchwings
