Unable to enroll in Apple Developer Program – “Cannot Connect” error despite active internet
Hi, I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program using the Apple Developer app on my iPhone, but I’m facing a persistent issue. After clicking “Enroll,” the screen keeps loading for about 1–2 minutes and then shows the error: “Cannot Connect – You must be connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular data network.” However, my internet connection is working perfectly: I am able to browse websites and use apps normally I have tested both Wi-Fi and mobile data I am currently signed in with my Apple ID Two-factor authentication is enabled and working correctly What I have already tried: Switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data Restarting the device Signing out and signing back into Apple ID Ensuring no VPN or custom DNS is active Despite this, the issue persists. Is this a known issue with Apple Developer enrollment services, or is there something specific I need to check on my account or device? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

macOS Terminal: Script invoked via binary sometimes runs as Groovy instead of through the binary
I’m seeing unexpected execution behavior on macOS where a script invoked explicitly through a binary is not being passed to that binary. Example: Code filebot -script /Users//score_engine_v3.groovy Instead of being executed inside FileBot’s ScriptShell environment, macOS sometimes compiles the script as a plain Groovy class, producing errors like: Code No such property: input for class: __script_xxxxx This only happens when macOS bypasses the binary and hands the file to Groovy directly. Questions: Under what conditions would macOS bypass the invoking binary and treat a .groovy file as a Groovy script even when the binary is explicitly specified? Are there known cases where exported environment variables in zsh are not inherited by child processes launched by certain binaries? Could extended attributes, quarantine flags, or execution policies cause macOS to treat user‑edited .groovy files differently from newly created ones? Thanks for any insight.

Program enrolled but charged twice
Subscribed the Apple Developer program and paid $100 but it showed i was not enrolled. I was prompted to enrollment process and paid another $100 for Apple Developer program 1 year. Now I am enrolled but I got double charged. I cancelled the subscription but it didn't refund. I created cases with 3 emails escalation and 2 phone supports. The support guy cannot fix it and said only senior support can fix. But that senior guy never called me back or reached me out. This is a flawed onboarding process. Like why this developer program allows subscription when developer is not enrolled yet. Also I cannot see the enrollment payment from Apple Store. From there only subscription payment was included. I had to navigate to list order page for enrollment payment detail. There are both program charges but seem they are managed by different teams.

Family Controls Entitlement NOT applied to App Extensions (and Support Form is broken)
Hello, I am facing a critical issue where the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement is not being applied to my app extensions, despite the main app ID being approved. Main App ID: com.hayashikento.focuspact (Approved on March 13) Extension ID 1: com.hayashikento.focuspact.ShieldActionExtension (Pending/Not visible) Extension ID 2: com.hayashikento.focuspact.ShieldConfigurationExtension (Pending/Not visible) I have submitted requests multiple times, but the entitlement does not appear in the "Capability Requests" for these extensions in the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles portal. Furthermore, I am unable to contact Developer Support because the "Contact Us" form on the developer website consistently shows a "Request error" or freezes on the submission page. Since I am completely blocked from TestFlight distribution, could someone from Apple please look into my account (Team ID: UHG4J7F7NH) and manually sync these entitlements? Thank you for your help.

Need MetricKit Implementation details for MacOS background Application, mainly for
Hi, We are trying to integrate Metric Kit into our MacOS Application. Our application is a background process. We are interested in getting CPU and Memory metrics for our process. MXMetricPayload is the one we are looking at. We tried to integrate metric Kit and left the background app for 24 hours, we did not get any callback. So, does metric kit work for background app in MacOS? Also does it for Network Extension?

Developer Account Subscription - Paid, not active
Hi, Like many others here, I applied and paid for an Apple Developer account (April 2). Although I’m certain I used a different account during the process, it appears the payment was linked to an older account that I no longer have access to (specifically, I can’t access the email address associated with it). This means I may have missed any follow-up communication from Apple. Since then, I’ve updated my primary email to one I can access, submitted 3 support tickets, and spoken with Customer Support by phone. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to resolve the issue. I’ve been told they cannot take action, that I need to wait for them to reach out to me, with no clear outcome — no escalation, no refund, and no concrete guidance on next steps. I’ve also seen mentions of a callback option from the Developer Account team, but I haven’t been able to find or access this anywhere. At this point, my account is still Pending, no response to my support tickets (despite a stated 2-business-day response time), and no clarity on how to proceed—while already being charged $100. I understand this has been asked before, but does anyone have suggestions on what I can do next? Thank you.

Interface Builder - Xcode 26.4 - Changing Between Attributes Inspector, File Inspector, Etc. Is Now A Pop Up Button?
In Interface Builder there use to be a segmented control to switch Inspectors. It's been this way forever. I could switch from: File Inspector Attributes Inspector Size Inspector Etc... Now in Xcode 26.4, it is this clunky pop up button? What? I thought Apple didn't like Interface Builder anymore so I'm surprised they are even touching it. This part of a SwiftUI rewrite or just bad vibes?

Xcode 26.4 refuses to pair with my Series 4 iWatch
Watch has latest watchOS 10.6.2. Xcode tries to connect and fails. I insured that both the Mac and the watch are using the same WiFi network (2.4) - and the mac has no other network interface. I have successfully paired to my iPhone and iPad. I quit and restarted Xcode. I close and reopen the "Devices and Simulators" window (to get it to retry). I restarted my watch. The watch is at 98% battery level. Suggestions? [Or do I need to purchase a new watch?]

Xcode 26 fails to load SPM packages
For me it looks like Xcode 26 has problems reading SPM packages from a locally hosted BitBucket git solution. While Xcode 16 work perfectly fine, Xcode 26 fails to load and gives "Server SSH Fingerprint Failed to Verify" as error description. Cleaning build data and DerivedData sometimes makes loading work. Any change in Package dependencies will break it again. Anyone having same problems? How do you handle it?

Enrollment Stuck on Pending Since April 02 - Payment Charged, No Response from Support (Case ID: 102859573520)
Hi, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on April 02 and the $99 payment was successfully charged to my account (Order ID: W1569319180). However, my enrollment has been stuck on "Pending" since then, now 5 day, with no activation and no communication from Apple. What I've already done: Verified Two-Factor Authentication is enabled on my Apple ID. Confirmed no pending agreements in developer portal or App Store Connect. Checked spam/junk folder daily — no emails requesting additional verification Opened support case 102859573520 on April 03 — no response received Current status: Enrollment: Pending App Store Connect: inaccessible Developer portal features: locked This is blocking me from beginning development. I am not able to move forward until this is resolved. Could someone from Apple please review my case and either activate the account or advise on what additional steps are needed? Thank you.

xcodebuild -downloadPlatform does not download via proxy
There's a regression in Xcode 26.x (26.0 ... 26.5 beta) where xcodebuild is not able to download platforms when it is behind proxy. $ env | grep PROXY HTTP_PROXY=.....

Xcode 26.x GUI is able to download from behind proxy though.

We are unable to continue with your enrollment at this time." I am already shocked - so I asked what can I do? Answer - nothing. Is this normal to not get a response what's the reason that is blocking me to enroll the program ?

Xcode Cloud builds stuck on "Queued"
Xcode Cloud seems to be queueing up builds but not processing them. Currently the earliest queued build on my end is about 3 hours ago. System status pages don't show any issues. I just want to check if this is something other people are seeing or just something going weird on our account.

Can't access my developer account anymore
I have a bug with Xcode and developer.apple.com, where they both don’t recognise that my Apple ID is part of a development team. My account page at https://developer.apple.com tells me to enrol in the developer programme, whereas before it would show me as having a membership and would let me access profiles and certificates and other stuff.

The assets in the Asset.xcasset lesser than the asset in the Assets.car file. Because of this the iPA file size increased three times as Assets.car file inside the iPA increased. Why do the asset file size increased enormously. How do we prevent this ? I used Version 26.2 (17C52).
