... and yet, Apple's staff think it's appropriate to post lame responses thanking them for their interest in the forums. Come on, guys! It's obvious spam! Mark it as such and delete it. It's not beyond your abilities to stop people posting the word "WhatsApp" plus a phone number. You already stop us posting certain web links, so you can do this. If you continue ignoring the spam problem, then these forums will become less and less useful. Why should I contribute my free time to help others when you won't even help us?

Nothing ever shows in my "Watching" tab. I've tried toggling the watch (bell) button on & off for threads I'm trying to watch, but this doesn't help. The setting sticks per thread, meaning that if I start watching a thread and reload the page, the icon shows as filled. These threads just never show up in the "Watching" tab for me. The only thread I saw mentioning this is from 2021 (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/681641). Starting a new thread since that was was marked as answered.

The "Save" or "Update" button text does not load properly. https://developer.apple.com/profile/finish

We welcome feedback and feature requests.

I posted a question 7 days ago and now it looks like I can't edit or delete it.

When trying to search any keyword or tag starting with or is removed by the JavaScript.

I'm fed up with this. I write a detailed message and press Submit, and I get that. I press back, and my composition is gone. I think it happens most often when I've logged in only recently, i.e. I've read a few posts, decide to reply to one and log in. At that point, if I close everything and start again and find the thread I want to reply to then it works. But if I don't do that then I run the risk of being told I'm "unauthorized" and losing whatever I've written. This isn't rocket science! Why do we put up with it?

It's so bad seeing this light mode... Can I ask Apple to give me an access to their frontend, so I can contribute to their repo with a dark mode feature? Not asking Apple to make the dark theme, but rather asking them let me do it.

Until recently, it was possible to view the profiles of every user who posted in the forums. The profile page would then have links to posts/replies and other pages so that one could "follow" the recent comments by those users. However, it appears that it no longer is possible to view a profile of individual "DTS Engineer". What I mean is I can no longer view their profile page and as a result the recent posts/replies that a specific "DTS Engineer" makes. It's especially a loss because posts made by such engineers are very helpful and valuable and not being able to easily follow such posts on a single page makes the forum software less useful. Is there a way the previous feature can be brought back?

Dear Apple Developer Support, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out for guidance on a project that involves sharing heart rate data between an iOS app and an Android app. I have developed a watchOS app that continuously fetches heart rate data from an Apple Watch and displays it in a companion iOS app. Additionally, I have built an Android fitness app using Ionic Angular. My goal is to create a bridge that allows the heart rate data from the iOS app to be displayed continuously in the Android app. I am considering using a backend server (e.g., Node.js) to facilitate this data transfer. Could you please provide any insights or recommendations on the best approach for achieving this cross-platform data sharing? I would appreciate any guidance on potential challenges or limitations I might encounter. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Venu Madhav

Dear [Support Team/Moderator], I hope you are doing well. I would like to request a username change for my account on the AbhishekOpl. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an option to update it in the profile settings. Here are my details: Current Username: AbhishekOpl Desired Username: ManishOpl If a username change is not possible, please let me know any alternative solutions. I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your response. Best regards,

I have submited a post. But I can not find it in my profile. I could not tell whether it has been submited but not verified or I made it wrong?

Anyone else seeing this? I'm sometimes getting "too many redirects" errors from Safari when trying to view this forum: It goes away after a while, randomly. Also: this is hard to debug; the Network tab in the Safari Javascript Console only shows the final load of the error page, not the failure. Is there a way to see the actual redirect loop URLs?

Thanks Apple for investing in this space - its seems the design has totally changed and that Apple is actually here now.

Hello everyone I was just wandering how could I change my user name on the developer forum and if this was event possible to do so ?

I want to delete an unpublished post (still under review) on the Developer Forums. How do I do that? I have already added a comment requesting the deletion of the post, but I want to ensure that it is indeed deleted and never goes public.

I have been waiting for months to get the name of my account on the developer forum changed. I had initially set it up as Playbrainiacs to match my solely owned company name. However, some other people started using "Playbrainiac" without the s at the end, in their websites etc. causing confusion. They also refused to sell the url to me for a reasonable price. I applied for a Trademark with USTPO in the name Playbrainiacs but it was denied due to a company in Canada with a name called PlayBrainy. Given my small budget I decided to abandon it and forgo the needless lawyer costs. Consequently I changed my company name to "Gigi Sehgal LLC" and removed the name Playbrainiacs everywhere. BUT Apple developer forum support has STILL not updated the name here. This is becoming a marketing and legal liability for me. Anybody have insights in how to get this fixed soon? My App was approved however I turned encryption on and am now waiting on the classification category code for the same from the US Govt ( that has also been pending for over a month )

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!
