Hi, Our organization develops a Mac app and distributes it our of the Mac store. We have been creating App.dmg files for this and signed it with the Developer ID Application certificate and uploaded them for notarization using "xcrun notarytool". Everything was working fine until we created a new Developer ID Installer certificate to test the new App.pkg installer and uploaded it for notarization to the Apple server. It's been 3 days now and our production pipeline is stuck because all the submissions remain in In-Progress state and do not proceed further. Details of the submission:- createdDate: 2025-01-03T06:44:20.306Z id: 7af70d77-1bab-4b17-aeba-7ddc75c030f9 name: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.pkg status: In Progress Since then, no submission(even for .dmg files) are processing through. I’ve raised a ticket with the support team as well, but it hasn’t helped. What more can we try to get out of this hole?

Hello guys, we've posted some info that we didn't intend to in one of the posts, and were wondering if we can get in contact with a moderator regarding post removal or editing out some info in it. Thanks!

Every time I visit these forums, a banner is displayed at the top asking me to opt-in to notifications. I click "opt-in," the banner disappears, and no notifications are sent. If I visit my forum profile, it says my browser isn't allowing notifications: If I look in Settings->Websites, in the list of "These websites have asked for permission to show alerts in Notification Center," there are no apple.com websites whatsoever, including developer.apple.com. "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" is checked, and I have many other websites in that list. I consider this to be a bug in Safari, but maybe it’s an issue with the forum itself (although I doubt it). I've submitted a Radar for it, but haven't heard anything back (I never do). EDIT: I realize I should've put this in another category, but it won't let me change that now.

Hello, forum admins. Thank you for your work in maintaining the forum in an active working condition. I have a question for you. Is it possible here, on the forum, not only to ask questions and get answers, but also to conduct technical discussions on current programming issues? For example, I would like to publish an article on design programming patterns and hear the opinions of other programmers working in this direction. I know that there are resources where we can publish articles. But here is the most big and active community of programmers using Apple technologies and it would be great to have the opportunity to publish articles here and organize thematic discussions. Best regards, John

Multiple times a day, every time I open a new window for forums.developer.apple.com, if I'm signed in, it asks me if I want to opt in to notifications. Even if I click on the opt in button. I've just reproduced it five times in a row here. What is going on?

There are at the moment a lot of spams for a bank phone number. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/769506 What is really surprising is to read App Store Connect Engineer answer, each time the same: We appreciate your interest in participating in the forums! These forums are for questions about developing software and accessories for Apple platforms. Your question seems related to a consumer feature and is better suited for the Apple Support Communities Is it an automatic answer (I cannot believe anyone who read the post did not notice it was a spam) ? If so, couldn't it simply detect it is a spam (Apple Intelligence could come to help) and delete the message (or the account) ? PS: it would also be a spam in Apple Support Communities PS2: I note the message has been deleted very rapidly.

Urgent Assistance Needed: Issue Logging into Apple Developer Enterprise Account via Visual Studio 2022 - "Authentication service is unavailable." Dear Apple Support Team, I am encountering an issue while attempting to log into my Apple Developer Enterprise account through Visual Studio 2022. The process consistently fails with the error message: "Authentication service is unavailable." Here are the steps I followed: Open Visual Studio 2022. Navigate to Tools -> Options -> Apple Developer Account -> Add Account -> Select Enterprise Account. Attempt to log in using my Apple Developer ID and password. Despite multiple attempts, I continue to face the error: "Authentication service is unavailable." This issue occurs on both Windows and Mac environments, with the same results. However, I am able to log into my Apple Developer account via the browser, and the Apple service status portal shows no outages. As this issue is impacting our ability to deliver to our customers, I kindly request your prompt assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you in advance for your help. I look forward to your quick response. Best regards, KanTime Dev Team Windows Machine Mac Machine

Hi, I noticed that the "View the thread" button recently stopped working in emails of replies from my watched threads. The link's path seems fine but the subdomain is odd / inexistent, since Safari tells me it cannot find the server. Did anybody else notice this issue?

Posted in the wrong subtopic, and I can't figure out how to delete this post.

Is it only me ? I received recently a notification that an answer was "recommended by Apple", with a link to the post. But when going to the post, this recommendation (with small Apple icon) do not show. And the forum scores are not updated. This is not the first time I get problems with forum notifications. I filed a bug report: FB14172207

As the title suggests, Please someone at Apple add this feature on priority. This website is too bright for the eyes to read causing straining issues. Need complete dark mode asap. Thank you!

I'm in trouble in posting a question on SwiftUI forum. I had revised text and tried several times to post it, but it didn't work. There is nothing in my query that is remotely ‘sensitive’. I don’t know what to do next. Thanks in advance for any advice. Regards,

I have recently been added as an apple developer in an organization by our main developer. On my mac, within keychain access, I have two certificates, one under my name and one under the company name. Both are not trusted. I am not sure what steps I need to perform to get those certificates to be trusted. I suspect that maybe my account does not have the privileges required regarding generating trusted certificates despite me being a developer in the organization. I get the error mentioned in the title when trying to deploy my app on a real device for testing which I am convinced is tied to the fact that my certificates on my target machine are not trusted. All the solutions that I have read online have failed me and its quite impossible for me to proceed forward at this point without any assistance.

Please delete this one!

I've recently seen answers to posts that are apparently automatically generated but signed as App Store Connect Engineer. In several cases the answer is misinterpreting the OP. Here is an example: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/758391 The OP was really a developer question. Not related to a consumer feature. Is it really an automatic answer (which would be a bad trend for the forums IMHO)?

I see this message for the first time: It is inserted in the OP (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/757852) but the link leads to nowhere (just the general page of the forum). In … what ?!? So I wonder what is the meaning of the message, its intent and use ? Or is it just a forum bug ? PS: surprisingly, this post appears in Forums general page (https://developer.apple.com/forums/latest), but not in forums feedback (https://developer.apple.com/forums/tags/forums-feedback) PS2: it appears, but after all the pinned messages which are older. Really confusing… I posted a bug report on this: Jun 23, 2024 at 9:29 PM – FB14024970

Hear me out, developers at Apple! You've done an amazing job with privacy so far. The introduction of ContactAccess and the Contact Access Button this year is truly an amazing work of art. Well done. However, all the way back to the first iPhone I got in 2007, I wished Apple would make API's available to access the users installed apps (in a privacy way). This would (further) open up apps in the category of App Managers and App Launchers. Back in the early days the trick was to use deep link, but that was also awkward, since you needed to know the deeplink upfront and the apps needed to support it. Not ideal. It also had a side effect that Apple noticed, that evil party's used it to scan your device to know which apps you had installed and create a profile from that. Apple fixed that by using LSApplicationQueriesSchemes. Now you have to tell the App upfront which apps you will be calling (up to 50), or use Universal Link to be freed from this limitation again. Again not ideal. Why not turn it around and let the user decide? User central. Imagine an App Launcher app. There is a button in the launcher app where you as a user can click on to add an app. It calls an api available from Apple to launch a privacy shielded sheet with the apps the user got installed on its device. These are not exposed to the launcher app. When the user clicks on the installed app (or apps) it likes to add, the launcher app will get identifiers to launch the app. That's it. This would be limited access, perhaps the api could also expose full access, so permission could be granted once and the app will get all identifiers available. The choice will be up to the user. One step further, but this would be more nice-to-have, is the ability to access meta data of the app, such as icon, title, last launched, app size, etc. This way App Launchers can make decisions such as putting the most recent launched app in front or App Managers can use this to decide which apps you are not using and can advise to remove them to clean up space. Love to hear everyone's opinion. So let it be the start of the discussion.

I'm trying to ask a (presumably) straight-forward question regarding some of the new features that were announced at WWDC. However, the website won't let me post, claiming my question "contains sensitive language", and asks me to revise it. Is it ok to ask questions about new features announced at WWDC or is this off limits? Is anybody else experiencing something like this? I'm confused about what could be wrong with my message.

Overnight we rolled out a number of minor fixes to the DevForums platform. Thanks to those of you who spotted these bugs and reported them. Here are the highlights: The reply editor now expands to full width when you uncheck the Live Preview checkbox (r. 128882713). Fixed an issue that resulted in the onboarding tour showing up repeatedly (r. 128882936). Copying text no longer frames it as a quote (r. 128883038). To insert a quote into your reply, click the quote button next to the selection. We’ve improved the handling of very long lines in a code block 128883131). Added support for applefeedback: links (r. 129165197). Fixed a few bugs including several rendering bugs with hovering, comments, text selection, multi-paragraph comments, and the editor’s attachment menu (r. 128875241, 128953001, 129046050, 129043503, 128987536). And more! (r. 129094445, 128931034) Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com"

The Apple Developer Forums have been redesigned for WWDC24 to help developers connect with Apple experts, engineers, and each other to find answers and get advice. Curious on what’s changed? Here’s some insight into what's different: Hello Homepage, Hello Topics Content across forums has been reorganized into topics and subtopics, supported by tags. Doing this helps you hone in on specific areas of interest while also connecting the resources, tools, and content that are most closely related. We hope the new format simplifies your forums experience, and allows you to easily locate the information and guidance you need. Not into topics? Not a worry: we’ve kept the all-forums-posts view open just for you - on the “Latest” tab. The RSS subscribe feature remains as well - allowing users to pipe a particular forums topic, subtopic, or tag area directly into feeds. Fresh look, fresh features Forums have also been redesigned to simplify how information is presented, lighten the cognitive load, and improve visual cues to allow you to scan and sort posts quickly with helpful information. UI changes include: Structure and layout improvements that condense the way information is presented on screen to improve readability Improved visual cueing for posts with clearer Apple Recommended Responses and/or Accepted Answer icons and placement Threads now have a highly visible “Boosts” count which allows forums participants to enhance visibility of the post. New thread navigation floats along the side of a post while to keeping the “watch” and “reply” buttons always accessible and right on screen Backed by Apple Experts One of the biggest changes to the Apple Developer Forums is one you can’t see – yet. Behind the scenes is a robust set of tools supporting Apple teams who are here every day to answer your questions in more efficient ways. Apple Developer Relations and Apple engineering are joining forces to field your questions and work to solve your technical issues. You’ll have access to an expanded knowledge base and enjoy quick response times — so you can get back to creating and enhancing your app or game. Wish there was a feature or improvement on Developer Forums? We welcome feedback and feature requests. Welcome to the all new Developer Forums; we’re all in, and hope you’ll be too ✨
