I watch some topics in the developer forums and when those topics are updated, I receive email notifications. That notification contains a link with the text "View the thread" which I believe is meant to take you to the corresponding latest reply in that topic.
For example, I was watching this thread https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453 and when the latest reply there was posted to I received the notification with the "View the thread" link which pointed to https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453?answerId=872080022&replyId=872080022. However, clicking on that link redirects me to the login page.
I think it would be better if that link was https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453?answerId=872080022#872080022 which would have taken me to the appropriate reply without forcing a login. Is that something that can be considered?
I've seen a couple posts on reddit today but wanted to call out here because I think it may be a more widespread issue - I keep getting an error trying to open my iOS app saying "Unable to verify app - An internet connection is required to verify trust of the developer...". I have never gotten this issue before and did not change anything in my build settings from my last successful build of the app to now. The directions it gives me are to go to Settings > General > VPN and Device Management and trust my developer certificate from there, but that doesn't work either. The first time I tried this, the developer certificate wasn't there at all, then I looked at Reddit and saw people recommending to download the developer certificate to solve the issue, but doing this did not fix the error either. Just looking to see if anyone else has encountered this or what the fix might be.

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

To solve a problem with my app I submitted a DTS ticket one week ago (13097367) but beside the automated response I received no feedback or help. The ticket is also not listed in the list of DTS tickets in my Developer Account dashboard. How can I check, if the ticket has been received correctly and is being processed?
Thanks!

Helllo, I'd like to change my username. Is there a way I can do that? The one I have is one I made by accident and I would prefer not to create an entirely new apple account.

It appears that on older posts the code blocks are completely broken. For example https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/678075 show the code block as a single inline value. Looking at the HTML this is what I see generated
<code class="hljs block shell language-shell">Code Block shell#!/bin/bashrm -rf output/rm -rf simulator_fat/mkdir simulator_fatlibs=( "lib_static" ) #Add for i in "${libs[@]}"do lipo -create arm64_simulator/$i.a x86_64/$i.a -output simulator_fat/$i.a xcodebuild -create-xcframework -library simulator_fat/$i.a -library arm64/$i.a -output output/$i.xcframeworkdone</code>
Obviously newer code blocks seem to be working (as long as the one above is) but it wreaks havoc trying to look at older posts.

I've tried several times to post a reply to a message, but I got an error message instead, telling me to try again in a few minutes. I just found out that it did post my replies, without telling me. So now there's many duplicates of the same reply, one for each of my attempts.
I'm using Firefox 144.0.2 (aarch64) on macOS 26.1 (25B78).
How to remove answered mark
It has happenned for about a month, I don't remember exactly. It takes about 30 seconds to open any page. I looked into Chrome's network inspection and found it caused by an incorrect CSS link below. So every page load is waiting for this non-existent CSS file timeout before fully display.
Except this issue I can still use this forum normally so assuming it's not my network connection/location issue.
Can someone fix it?

There seems to be some kind of problem with the forum software incorrectly redacting certain words.
It's even censoring Apple employees when they use the word "s i g n a l" in this post, which is now titled, "iOS Network ****** Strength"
So, no, Apple employees are not complaining about iOS Network strength.

Since a few weeks, I feel the content of the forums is less and less interesting.
Probably 80% (not to say 90%) of the posts are about complains about review process, a serious question for those who have a problem but questions on which other developers can do absolutely nothing even if they bothered.
Forum is becoming a wailing wall.
With such a trend (but what to do to change it ?), forums will soon be of no interest at all, which is really unfortunate for the developers community.
■Confirmation
My post on the Apple Developer Forums is not published even though it have been reviewed.
Does any work need to be done at the time of submission or after review in order to be published?
■Background of the question
I posted one on the Apple Developer Forums yesterday.
Immediately after posting, a message saying "It will be published if it passes the review" was displayed on the screen.
This morning, that message disappeared, so I thought the post had been published, but my post was not displayed on the post list screen.
I tried searching for the post title, but it doesn't appear for a while.
Hi,
Developer Support answered my original question by email telling me that I should ask my question here, because I have reached the wrong Support team...
Here is my question:
I have asked for some help in the forum about SF Symbols, but at last the solution I have found by myself was much more general than the original title of my post suggested.
Now, In order to better share my foundings and better help the community about the subject, I think that a more general title would be appropriate. It's about using Affinity Designer to create custom SF Symbols, where my original title only mentions my difficulties about creating such symbols.
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/788403
Can I modify the title of my post by myself (if yes, how?) or should a Forum admin do that for me?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Marc
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.
Since recently, when I try to close a thread I created on an answer of mine, I get the following error:
Trying later, next day, does not solve it. In the list of all threads, the post is not marked as answered.
But if I look via Chrome or plain Safari, I see the answer itself is marked as correct:
Which is not the case when opening in Safari Technology Preview (Release 233) where the same answer is still to be accepted:
I’m encountering an issue when trying to start a macOS VM using Apple’s Virtualization framework in a sandboxed environment.
When I create a standalone Xcode project, the VM launches successfully. However, when I integrate the same code into my existing project—where the VM is launched by a service started via launchd and running in a sandbox—it fails with the following error:
Internal Virtualization Error: Failed to issue USB HCI sandbox extension
To resolve this, I tried adding the com.apple.security.device.usb entitlement. But after doing that, the app started crashing with the following trace :

I suspect this might be due to the provisioning profile, which doesn’t seem to include the required entitlement. However, I haven’t found a way to explicitly add this entitlement to the provisioning profile.
My questions are:
How can I add com.apple.security.device.usb to the provisioning profile?
Is there a way to confirm that adding this entitlement would resolve the issue?
Are there recommended steps to debug and test Virtualization framework usage in a sandboxed environment (especially when launched as a service)?
I also tried disabling SIP and AMFI, but the crash still occurs. Is there a better way to work around or test this in development?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
