I need to change the order of my App Store display screenshots. The developer said they need to launch a new build which will take 5-8 hours of work. The app is complete, I just need to change the order of the display photos on the App Store. Is there a cost effective way to do this? Thx, Sam

Hi there! I have an issue with uploading a PKG installer to the MacOS AppStore.

Hi everyone!, I would love your help with this please as I have been stuck for days with no solution. Issue: I'm trying to enable In-App Purchases (IAP) in my app, but my provisioning profile does not include the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement. When I attempt to build in Xcode, I see the following error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: org.thewhiteowl.mindflow" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase entitlement. I've already verified my Apple Developer account, and Apple Support confirmed that everything looks correct from their end. Steps Taken So Far: Verified In-App Purchases is Enabled in the Apple Developer Portal under Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles → Identifiers. Accepted All Agreements in App Store Connect → Agreements, Tax, and Banking (everything is marked Active). Created a New Provisioning Profile Manually: . Go to developer.apple.com . Navigate to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles . Click "+" to register a new provisioning profile . Choose App Store Connect → Click Continue . Select App ID → MindFlow App (PM7JVFLCVC.org.thewhiteowl.mindflow) → Click Continue . Select Certificate → The White Owl LLC (iOS Distribution) (Valid until Feb 22, 2026) → Click Continue . Enter Provisioning Profile Name: "MindFlow Distribution" → Click Generate . Download the profile and inspect the Entitlements section ❌ The In-App Purchase entitlement is missing (com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase does not appear). Additional Troubleshooting: . Tried regenerating the provisioning profile multiple times . Deleted & reinstalled Xcode completely .Ensured App ID is Explicit (not Wildcard) . Tried refreshing App ID capabilities by toggling other entitlements . Checked for misconfigurations in Expo and EAS (using Expo.dev for deployment) Questions: Why is the In-App Purchase entitlement missing from the generated provisioning profile? Is there a way to force the entitlement to appear? Could this be an issue with the Apple Developer Portal, and if so, is there a workaround? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated! 🚀

I’m building an iOS app that collects user PII (emails, names) and stores it in my backend database. I already use HTTPS for data transfer, but I’m unsure if Apple requires server-side encryption for stored data. For example: If a user’s email is stored in plain text on my server (but transmitted securely via HTTPS), will this violate App Store guidelines? Does Apple explicitly mandate encryption-at-rest for PII, or is it just a recommendation? Are there exceptions for non-sensitive data like usernames? I checked App Store Review Guidelines §5.1.1, which says "data must be stored securely," but it’s unclear if this requires encryption. Context: The app targets U.S. users (no GDPR/CCPA concerns). No financial/health data is involved. Is plain-text server storage of emails/names acceptable, or will this risk rejection? Thanks for any clarity!

I am a developer, and since yesterday, I haven’t been able to use my App Store Connect account properly. Every time I open https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/ and enter my email and password, I can log in successfully. However, as soon as I click on App Analytics, it automatically logs me out and takes me back to the login page. I have tried switching browsers, clearing browser data, changing Wi-Fi, disabling proxies, restarting my Mac, and many other methods, but nothing has worked. This is preventing me from viewing the data for my app. What should I do?

I have added 2 command line tools in my swiftUI app for macOS, it was working fine locally, but it gives error when i try to make archive of it. I am not sure about the reason, but it was related to sandboxing the command line tools, after this i have tried multiple solutions but i am unable to resolve this issue, how should i handle the helper command line tools

Hello, I've just installed the iOS 18.4 beta but I can't access features like Genmojis or others. I don't understand why knowing that I have the iPhone 16. Could someone help me?

I'm looking at implementing an iOS app that has includes a Content Filter Provider to block access to certain domains when accessed on the device. This uses NEFilterManager, NEFilterDataProvider and NEFilterControlProvider to handle configuration and manage the network flows and block as necessary. My question is can you deploy this in an iOS 18+ app on the App Store to devices which are unmanaged, unsupervised and don't use Screen Time APIs? Although not 100% clear, this technote seems to say it is not possible: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Technotes/tn3134-network-extension-provider-deployment Testing this on a Developer device and build works successfully without any MDM profiles installed. A similar approach using the same APIs also works on macOS once user permissions have been given. If it can't work on unsupervised, unmanaged iOS devices, is possible for the user to first manually install a MDM profile which includes the required 'Content Filter' details and then have it work? If not, how would you filter iOS network traffic on an unmanaged, unsupervised device? Is it necessary to use a VPN or DNS approach instead (which may be a lot less privacy compliant)?

Howdy, I thought this would be an easy question, but it turns out it's really not! In fact, it flies in the face of how the Apple ecosystem is set up. That said, I still need an answer to be able to inform our customers of what their app update options are. The question: Does app store provisioning ever expire? Based on the very limited information I can find, it either expires in one year, two years, or never. Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that the answer could be never, but I need to confirm this. The use case: Some of our customers are very old school. They tend to find a technical solution and stick with it. As such, they do not update apps regularly on their field iPads. They generally only update when they are forced to. They use MDM to deploy the app, and would set the MDM not to pull updated apps from the app store when available, essentially keeping the same version of the app in use for as much as 3 years or more. If this were to happen, I need to know if the provisioning for the old version of the app will ever expire if they get it from the app store. I know with an enterprise deployment of .ipa files via MDM, the app provisioning/certificate will expire after 1 or 2 years (can't remember which atm), but I can't find an answer about app store provisioning. Hopefully someone can provide me with an answer on this forum. Thanks in advance, Mapguy

Hi, Our developer account was locked more than a week ago, while we still have an active Apple store app, which requires a new deploy with some bug fixes. We tried contacting Apple support in redeeming the access back and on the phone we have achieved nothing. Does anybody encountered a similar issue and how did you solved it ?

The application is developed with Xamarin Framework and it is live now. The customer installed the app and purchased the annual subscription. And for some reason, they uninstall and reinstall the application on the same device. Now user wants to restore the subscription. In the application, there is an option to Restore the subscription. But restore API not return purchase details. But when clicking the subscription button instead of restoring the subscription, it says you subscribed to this plan". is there any possibility of not getting VerifyRecipt even after a successful purchase?

There is an option that allows New users to cannot find and install your app. Existing users can still find it and will receive updates in configration App Store Connect. Thank you very much for your answers.

I'm looking at the Apple official document below and getting the app's information. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/getting-app-and-book-information-legacy However, I couldn't get the custom app's information for a few days ago.

I am a startup founder based in India. Recently the iOS developer we were working with left the company in some what acrimonious circumstances. Post his departure from the company, he has made it clear that he will try to cause damage to our iOS app to the extent that it starts to crash. Even though we have removed his access, as a non tech founder, I am not sure what ways he can edit or hamper our iOS app and what measures we can take to protect the same. Please advise us with steps for us to secure our code and ensure no one can edit the same or hamper our iOS app on the app store. Thank you

Hey, we've recently realised that our Account Holder access was restricted to the App Store Connect, however all other accounts (Admin, Marketing, Developers) can access it. Restricting Account Holder access means that we can't push updates on App Store and limits our functionality. We've submitted multiple requests to Apple Support, but no answer for a month, no hotline phone number for developer services, only general hotline which can't fix the issue due to recent Apple Security changes and it redirects us to the general request submission form. Does anyone has the same problem? How do you fix that? Are you also experiencing delays in reply from Apple?

Hi, I recently created Peek Transit, and I was wondering why my app shows "Not Compatible With This Device" on the Mac App Store. In Xcode, I tested my app both for the "Design for IPad" and "Catalyst" options on my mac, and In both cases it worked as expected with no errors or warnings. In the App Store Connect, I have checked the "Make Available on MacOS" box and selected the minimum compatible OS version. The issue doesn't seem to be just in my mac as the app is marked as not available for mac at all in the device requirements of the app store page. Here is the Github Repo if you want to take a look at what I have in the info.plist. Thanks, Ayman

I want to submit my app for review, but I'm getting this error. When I click 'Edit' under iOS Submission, it redirects me to the 'Prepare for Submission' page, but it doesn't specify exactly what I need to edit. Can you help me with this issue?
