Title says it all, so I get to 5 minutes left, and then the error message 'failed to prepare update' appears. I've done this for about a week now and the same thing happens. Does anyone have any insight to this problem?

With AI getting so powerful, do you think Swift Student Challenge will change a lot next year? Will Apple update the rules or change what they're judging? Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who's followed SSC for a while.

Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I am writing to formally escalate an issue regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. On February 23rd, I completed the $100 enrollment payment for an Individual Apple Developer account. The amount has been successfully debited from my card, and I have received official payment confirmation emails from Apple confirming receipt of the funds. However, as of today (March 3rd), my account still reflects that payment needs to be completed, and the enrollment remains inactive. This is my first-time enrollment as an individual developer. Given that payment has already been processed and acknowledged by Apple, I am concerned about the lack of activation and the absence of any communication regarding the delay. Additionally, I have submitted multiple support requests over the past five days but have not received any response or update. This delay is affecting my development and release timelines. I kindly request: Immediate confirmation of payment reconciliation on your end Clarification on the current status of my enrollment An estimated timeline for activation Escalation of this case to the appropriate billing or developer enrollment team Please let me know if any further documentation (transaction ID, invoice number, Apple ID details) is required from my side. I would appreciate your urgent assistance in resolving this matter. Kind regards, Gowtham Potureddi

Hello, I recently submitted my Swift Student Challenge app playground (“Crest”) and realized after submission that I accidentally selected Swift Playgrounds as the software to run it, instead of Xcode 26 or later. My project builds and runs successfully in Xcode 26 using the iOS 26 SDK and simulator. However, when opening the same .swiftpm project in the Swift Playgrounds app on iPad, it does not compile because Swift Playgrounds currently only supports up to iOS 18 SDK and does not support iOS 26 APIs. The submission itself is complete, builds correctly in Xcode, and was submitted before the deadline. The incorrect selection of Swift Playgrounds was an honest mistake during the submission process. I wanted to ask whether reviewers are able to run the submission using Xcode 26 in cases like this, or if there is anything I should do. Thank you very much for your time.

Since purchasing my 17 Pro, CarPlay has been an abysmal failure. I’m happy to say since installing 26.4 developer beta, it seems to be working much better.

I'm losing it. I am on the public beta for Tahoe, downloaded most current update yesterday morning, 26.4. Chrome and Firefox aren't loading, and Mac mail isn't working right. Safari seems to be totally fine. I've done all types of troubleshooting, going crazy. Anyone else had issues with this update? It's almost like the connectivity got all screwed up.

Hello, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I cannot complete the payment. During the purchase process, I receive the following error: We are unable to complete your order. There was an issue when we processed your order. An invalid value '1549' was provided for State, Province, or Region. My details: Country: Kosovo State/Province/Region: Kosovo Region (selected from the available option) I have verified my information multiple times, but the error appears every time. I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times over the past month.I have not received any response (positive or negative). I need to complete enrollment to publish my apps, and this delay is blocking my work.

I’m looking for advice from anyone who has gone through the process of converting an Apple Developer account to an Organization / Company account. I’ve been trying to convert my account for organization and the process has been taking much longer than expected. Apple initially requested documentation to verify both the business and my authority to act on behalf of the company. So far, I have already provided or prepared everything they ask for. At this point, I’ve been waiting for 9 days without much clarity on whether my documents are sufficient

I’m building an iOS app where real money moves based on goal completion results, including transfers between users. I need a real money flow that supports top ups, internal balance updates, and withdrawals. I’m launching in the EU first and want to avoid building the wrong architecture from the start. I’d appreciate practical guidance from anyone who has shipped similar apps: When can external payment processors be used for real money flows? If users can withdraw real money, what compliance requirements are usually needed first? Is it as complicated as I think? This is my first project of this kind, so I want to approach it correctly. Thank you in advance.

I am working on a security research project on macOS (Apple Silicon M5) and trying to use Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) to detect heap memory bugs such as use-after-free. I can confirm the hardware supports MTE hw.optional.arm.FEAT_MTE: 1) and the stack sanitizer (-fsanitize=memtag-stack) does work correctly on this machine. The gap is specifically heap tagging through the allocator. Is there any env variables for this?

I Wonder if someone review my feedback about: 1- the last person I spoke with (I think his name is Ronnizann) He was not supportive at all. 2- Seems was outside because the wind sound was so high, I have to ask hem to be in clear area 3- I received a call before Ronnizan from a lady (Not sure a bout her name) she close the line just after I said my name during the introduction, and she did not call back 4- I replied with screen shots and no call and no reply received

Has anyone been able to raise a ticket with the support team in the past 48 hours without getting an infinite loader or error on the page?

Hello, I built my app in Xcode and used IOS 26 latest frameworks like Foundation Models. But some of this frameworks don't work properly in Swift Playground(MyApp.swiftpm) and cause crashes. My question is can I submit a MyApp.xcodeproj file and choose Xcode 26 as a software to run my app ? Thank you in advance.
