When attempting to use apple promotional offers for subscriptions I consistently receive the popup that says "Offer Not Available" for both production and sandbox. Without offer code purchase working fine. I have verified the App Store Connect setup and client side code and even created new offer codes also, but I have hit a dead end. Error:- (Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x280dbb0f0 {Error Domain=ASDServerErrorDomain Code=3904 "Offer Not Available" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offer Not Available}}})

Hello, I am currently working on integrating Meta Audience Network (Meta) with Google AdMob using bidding mediation for an iOS app. The goal is to show ads through meta , with AdMob acting as the mediation layer. I have successfully set up both the Meta SDK and Google AdMob SDK, as well as the GoogleMobileAdsMediationFacebook adapter. My AdMob and Meta accounts are both linked for mediation, and I have configured the correct placement IDs for Meta within AdMob. Currently i am creating a demo project with demo accounts i haven't added app live link as my app isn't on AppStore and haven't added any payment method. However, I am encountering a couple of issues and need some guidance: 1. Test Ads Work, but Real Ad Unit Fails: • When using test AdMob ad unit IDs, everything works fine, and ads are shown as expected. • But when I use my original AdMob ad unit ID, I get the error: “Publisher data not found.” • Does this mean my app is not fully set up or is there something else I might be missing in my configuration? • Is it necessary to go live on the App Store to get ads from the real ad unit, even for testing purposes? 2. Meta Ads via Bidding Mediation: • I have integrated Meta through AdMob’s bidding mediation system. But i am showing ads using GADBannerView is it right way to show meta ads that are mediated with google admob. If i have to show ads with FBAdView from where to get withBidPayload value for this function adView.loadAd(withBidPayload: "what_here") 3. Payment Method Requirements: • My app is still in the demo/testing phase and is not live on the App Store. I have not added any payment methods in either AdMob or Meta. • Is it necessary to add a payment method for testing purposes, or is this only required when I start monetizing and going live? I would appreciate any advice or pointers to ensure the setup is correct and to understand why the original ad unit ID isn’t working during testing. Thank you for your time and assistance!

Hi everyone, We are developing an app, Video Tradie, which operates as a marketplace platform connecting customers with independent tradespeople for consultations. The app facilitates scheduling, communication, and payments but does not directly provide any services—our role is strictly as a facilitator. For payment processing, we are currently integrating Stripe to handle invoicing, payment splits to tradespeople, and detailed reporting features that are essential to our business model. However, we want to ensure compliance with Apple’s App Store guidelines, particularly regarding: Digital Services vs. Physical Services: Since the app facilitates consultations (virtual services), would it fall under Apple’s in-app purchase requirements, or could it qualify for exemptions, similar to apps facilitating physical services? Stripe Integration: If we continue using Stripe for payments, are we allowed to remit Apple’s 15% commission (under the Small Business Programme) while not using Apple’s payment infrastructure? Marketplace Positioning: Does positioning our app as a marketplace rather than a direct service provider exempt us from using Apple’s in-app payment system? Alternative Billing Options: If operating in regions like the EU or South Korea, where alternative billing is permitted, are there specific steps we need to follow to comply? We are seeking clarification to ensure we develop the app in a way that aligns with Apple’s expectations. If anyone has experience with similar setups or advice on communicating with Apple during the submission process, I’d greatly appreciate your input! Thank you!

I have a PIP camera that is streaming from the front and back based on AVCaptureMultiCamSession. It works fine, but when i go to swap the camera it crashes. This is code that works with a single camera, so not sure what is wrong. Also the object appears valid in the debugger. This is the snippit where the camera is swapped private func updateSessionConfiguration() { guard isCaptureSessionConfigured else { return } captureSession.beginConfiguration() defer { captureSession.commitConfiguration() } // Remove all current inputs for input in captureSession.inputs { if let deviceInput = input as? AVCaptureDeviceInput { captureSession.removeInput(deviceInput) app_log("removing input for \(input)") } } // Add the primary device input if let deviceInput = deviceInputFor(device: captureDevice) { app_log("device input \(deviceInput)") if !captureSession.inputs.contains(deviceInput), captureSession.canAddInput(deviceInput) { captureSession.addInput(deviceInput) } } if let secondaryDeviceInput = deviceInputFor(device: secondaryCaptureDevice) { app_log("Secondary device input \(secondaryDeviceInput)") if !captureSession.inputs.contains(secondaryDeviceInput), captureSession.canAddInput(secondaryDeviceInput) { captureSession.addInput(secondaryDeviceInput) } } updateVideoOutputConnection() } It crashes at: captureSession.addInput(deviceInput) with: Thread 10: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0xcaeb36b964f0) which is strange because canAdd is checked prior to this call. Totally stumped here. Please help. Not sure if this is an AVCaptureMuliCamSession issue or something.

Dear Apple Developer Community, I hope this message finds you well. I'm seeking guidance regarding an issue with my Apple Developer account and the future status of my app. Issue Summary: Account Status: My Apple Developer account has been locked (cannot be used) without any clear reason. Despite contacting both Apple Support and Apple Developer Support, I haven't received a workable solution to regain access. App Status: Currently, my mobile app remains visible and downloadable on the Apple App Store. Concerns: Future of the App: I'm concerned about the future availability of my app. I've heard that apps associated with locked or inactive developer accounts might be archived or removed after a certain period. Is this accurate? If so, what is the typical timeframe for such actions? Similar Experiences: Has anyone in the community encountered a similar situation with their developer account being locked and cannot be used? If so, were you able to resolve it, and how? I appreciate any insights or advice from those who have faced similar challenges or have knowledge in this area. Your assistance would be invaluable in helping me navigate this situation.

My Z key isn’t working and now weird characters come up when i type random keys fast.

It was good for a week after updating to ios 18.2. Now when I call or receive any phone call, it literally restart. even if I call using WhatsApp also. Also unable to play any video on it. Unable to use YouTube. Battery health is 89%. I already hard reset my phone. Even installed beta version 18.3. Still getting same problem. Even I purchased third party app to fix iOS issue but nothing is working.

After updating to IOS Beta 18.3 car play won't work on iPhone 16 Pro. My daughters does on my Range Rover so it is the BETA update. Can not remove beta update, please help.

15.2 has a major problem with Thunderbolt devices. Dozens of reports on the discussion forum after people upgraded from prior versions. In my case 15.1 was working flawlessly. After upgrading to 15.2 the MAC PRO (2019) won't even boot with multiple Thunderbolt devices attached. If as suggested I disconnect all those devices the MAC boots but I no longer have my Thunderbolt drives available. Someone from Apple really needs to start listening to this. We have posted feedback after feedback and I keep getting told no one else has this problem. Well 4 pages of people on the discussion forum would disagree with that.

I bought Pioneer SPH-DA97DAB CarPlay radio but hardly can use the phone due to a loud echo that the caller hears during a call. how can I solve this does CarPlay has echo cancelation?

After Updating My iPhone 15 Pro To IOS 18.3 beta, 1 Day Later A Pixel seemed stuck or burnt, and then after 1 Day on 25 Dec The Screen Went Black Or Turned Off But Responded To My Touch, the reason i suppose the screen went black would be a memory glitch happening when i opened the camera from the Lock Screen or a graphica card issue if anyone can help I would appreciate it

Like I said in the title, it looks like MetalTools.framework is missing or corrupted. I think I saw that the symbolic link was broken. They look like aliases in the finder, but I can't find the original. This was a problem with Ventura (using the last compatible Xcode version) and Sequoia 15.2 (Xcode 16.2). I didn't use Xcode before that. Note that none of my apps need Metal API (I don't think). I only noticed it when Xcode gave an error regarding Metal. Sorry this is so long; I hope the Terminal info will help. I don't want to reinstall Sequoia and this has been a problem since at least Ventura.

Hi, After updating to Xcode 16.2, I am getting an error running all iOS apps. I'm using Sequioa 15.2. Error creating the CFMessagePort needed to communicate with PPT. I ran the default Hello World app and got the same error message (plus another error not showing up on my apps - Failed to send CA Event for app launch measurements for ca_event_type: 1 event_name: com.apple.app_launch_measurement.ExtendedLaunchMetrics). Can I ignore the error or is it truly affecting my app (all are testflight versions and it's fine if I don't update them for awhile, although not ideal). Hopefully someone can help! Thanks, -Ashley

This wasn't happening until I updated Xcode to 16.2 (I'm using Sequoia 15.2). When I run any Mac app, I get these errors: Can't find or decode reasons Failed to get or decode unavailable reasons Can't find or decode disabled use cases I even got these errors running "Hello, world" which tells me that either I need to reinstall or there is a bug. Thanks for any help, -Ashley

Hi all, The use of setVoiceProcessingEnabled increases the channel count of my microphone audio from 1 to 5. This has downstream effects, because when I use AVAudioConverter to convert between PCM buffer types the output buffer contains only silence. Here is a reproduction showing the channel growth from 1 to 5: let avAudioEngine: AVAudioEngine = AVAudioEngine() let inputNode = avAudioEngine.inputNode print(inputNode.inputFormat(forBus: 0)) // Prints <AVAudioFormat 0x600002f7ada0: 1 ch, 48000 Hz, Float32> do { try inputNode.setVoiceProcessingEnabled(true) } catch { print("Could not enable voice processing \(error)") return } print(inputNode.inputFormat(forBus: 0)) // Prints <AVAudioFormat 0x600002f7b020: 5 ch, 44100 Hz, Float32, deinterleaved> If it helps, the reason I'm using setVoiceProcessingEnabled because I don't want the mic to pick up output from the speakers. Per wwdc When enabled, extra signal processing is applied on the incoming audio, and any audio that is coming from the device is taken Here is my conversion logic from the input PCM format (which in the case above is 5ch, 44.1kHZ, Float 32, deinterleaved) to the target format PCM16 with a single channel: let outputFormat = AVAudioFormat( commonFormat: .pcmFormatInt16, sampleRate: inputPCMFormat.sampleRate, channels: 1, interleaved: false ) guard let converter = AVAudioConverter( from: inputPCMFormat, to: outputFormat) else { fatalError("Demonstration") } let newLength = AVAudioFrameCount(outputFormat.sampleRate * 2.0) guard let outputBuffer = AVAudioPCMBuffer( pcmFormat: outputFormat, frameCapacity: newLength) else { fatalError("Demonstration") } outputBuffer.frameLength = newLength try! converter.convert(to: outputBuffer, from: inputBuffer) // Use the PCM16 outputBuffer The outputBuffer contains only silence. But if I comment out inputNode.setVoiceProcessingEnabled(true) in the first snippet, the outputBuffer then plays exactly how I would expect it to. So I have two questions: Why does setVoiceProcessingEnabled increase the channel count to 5? How should I convert the resulting format to a single channel PCM16 format? Thank you, Lou

We've been having some troubles to create a new account for apple developer for the company i'm currently working for. The first feedback we got was that I could create my personal account and then transfer the Duns Number for the company account when the problem would be solved. We have the Duns Number, but I can't create the Apple Developer Program because of the following warning: Tell us about your organization. Legal Entity Name The information you entered did not match your D&B profile. Before submitting your information, check your D&B profile. If you've recently changed your legal entity name, update your D&B profile. We are from Brazil and the support for the apple developer is only USA or Canada. Could you help us? We have a lot of questions. We need to create the account so that we could publish our APP But so far we couldn't create the account

I have developed a mobile app using SwiftUI that supports GoogleMaps. Now I am in the process of building a CarPlay application. I assume CarPlay only supports Apple MapKit, as I could not find any way to integrate the Google Maps. Below are few queries, Could you please guide me on how I can obtain the user's current location on the CarPlay app launch? Is there a way CarPlay can get the details from the mobile app(not pretty sure as its using Google Maps)? If the user is logged out from the mobile app, what is the flow in CarPlay? Do we have any standard login page asking user to login to the mobile app first? Is there any UI asking the user to capture the location in CarPlay? This is my first CarPlay app. Kindly guide me to a document or so that covers these details. Thanks a ton!!

Hello, We’re experiencing an issue in our app where a subset of users are being logged out automatically without any apparent reason. This is impacting both iOS 16 and iOS 17 users (though it’s hard to confirm if it’s platform-specific). Here’s a breakdown of the situation: Symptoms Some users report being logged out of the app randomly, even after remaining active. The issue doesn’t seem to affect all users—just a specific subset. Users are prompted to log in again, and once they do, the app behaves as expected until the issue recurs.

I'm a developer that has only produced for a single company. Though my developer account shows me as the account holder, my "Enrolled as" status is "Organization," and the "Entity" field shows the name of that company. I want to build an app for a separate company/organization, but unsure how to proceed. My App Store Connect account shows the original company name beneath my name as the only option in the account ID selector menu, so when I begin the New App process it automatically assumes I'm doing it for that company. Can I change my "Enrolled as" status to something independent of any organization, do I need to create a completely separate account to do this, or how should I proceed? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
