Issues updating W-9 and bank
After my account was converted to an organizational account, I tried to submit a new W-9, but I get an error: "The Type of Beneficial Owner does not match the individual or company status you previously provided." I had selected "Individual/Sole proprietor", based on my understanding that this is what should be selected on the W-9 for a single-member LLC. My initial guess as to what's causing the error, is my single-member LLC may have been miscategorized in the migration to an organization account so the intended option doesn't work. As per the official W-9 instructions, a single-member LLC should be categorized as an "Individual/sole proprietor or single-member LLC" on the form for tax purposes, but when I select "Individual/Sole Proprietor" on the "Type of Beneficiary Owner" dropdown on the App Store Connect front-end form for the W-9, which I assume corresponds with the aforementioned option on the true W-9 form that includes "single-member LLC", I get the aforementioned error. I was alternatively informed by Developer Support that the above error may be occurring because I haven't signed the latest Apple Program License Agreement, which I haven't been able to access, which they claimed is because I hadn't provided banking information for my account. So I added my business bank account but a week later the top of the Business section still says "Your banking updates are processing, and you should see the changes in 24 hours. You won't be able to make any additional updates until then." I contacted Apple Developer Support about all of the above and am still waiting for a response. While I wait, I'd like to ask here whether anyone has any ideas as to why the W-9 error is occuring or how long banking changes actually take to process, in case either of these is something I can resolve in the meantime.

Do these count as "third-party content"?
Do either of these count as "third-party content" in the context of the Contents Rights declaration for an app? Fonts by other authors that I am permitted to use commercially. A relatively simple third-party script for an online high-score system that I am also allowed to use commercially. I have listed both in the copyright/credits in my app (a game). Although I say commercially, this app will be free with no in-app purchases.

After renewing, Apple Developer account still says expired. Also a login issue discrepancy between devices.
I renewed my Apple Developer membership today. I have an email notification from my bank confirming the transaction, and an email confirmation from Apple where when I click on the order number in the email and log in, the page says Enrollment Complete. Yet in my Apple Developer account dashboard, it still says my membership is expired, with a renew button. I tried a different browser with a clean cache, same issue. So I think something is broken. On a side note, when I tried to renew via my MacBook earlier, for some reason my password would not work at the point where it was asking me to log into the store for checkout (store.apple.com), even after resetting my password. But when I tried it on the browser on my Pixel phone, exact same pages and password, it worked. Not sure if related to the above. Contacted Apple Support but in the meantime would like to see if anyone here has any suggestions for a faster resolution.

iPhone IDE
Swift learner here. Guessing this is a long stretch but can anyone recommend a good iPhone IDE app where I can code and run projects like Xcode? I am often away from home including in a part-time job which sometimes has a lot of waiting time (and not the best place to bring my MacBook), so such a tool would be perfect. I saw up to a few in the App Store that seem limited in functionality based on reviews. And if there's no suitable tool yet, maybe someone can think about developing one. If it works well and there's a free trial/edition I'm sure people would pay a nice price for it (but please: one-time fees, no subscriptions lol). I've sometimes fallen out of the self-education routine for weeks on end due to being away from my tools for too long, but my phone is nearly always with me so if something like this were available I'm sure it would be a productivity godsend for me and others alike.

Feature request: search for my previous posts
There should be a way to load a list of all of my previous posts on the Developer Forums so I can easily track down a thread I authored or replied to in order to refer to it or update it with further info. This is a standard, crucial forum software feature that is even present to a limited degree on the main Apple Community. If there is a valid reason to not make a list of my posts visible to others, that's fine, but I don't see why I, as the author, shouldn't have the option to view this.

Xcode placeholder color
I have the macOS theme as Dark/Graphite and Xcode theme as Default (Dark). Under this combination, placeholders in Xcode (e.g. created <#like this#>) do not have a discernible color difference when selected (vs if a color macOS theme is used, in which it would use the Accent Color). This makes it more difficult to determine if a placeholder is selected, particularly among multiple nearby placeholders. This seems like a minor issue but I suspect can be problematic or annoying over the long-term. Is there an option to change the presentation (color or otherwise) specifically of selected/unselected placeholders in Xcode? Thanks.

Learning materials for iOS 13 / Swift 5 and 14/5.3: which should I start with?
I bought 2 books for programming in iOS 14 / Swift 5.3. Then, based on someone's recommendation I also bought a highly-rated udemy course for iOS 13 / Swift 5 because it was on sale for $15 with a money-back guarantee so thought I had nothing to lose. My question, especially to those with programming knowledge/experience in all of iOS 13, 14, Swift 5 to 5.3 is, are there enough differences between iOS 13-14 and Swift 5-5.3 to warrant skipping the udemy course? Or is mostly everything important the same so it may still be worthwhile? The books I bought: "iOS 14 Programming Fundamentals with Swift" and "Programming iOS 14" by Matt Neuburg The udemy course I bought: "iOS 13 & Swift 5 - The Complete iOS App Development Bootcamp" by Dr. Angela Yu And if you have any other iOS/Swift learning material recommendations, feel free to share. Thanks.
