I wanted to rollback a commit. So I shifted to the commit before it. Then I added new commits on the one I switched to, not realising this is not happening on the main branch.
Now what do I do?

I have two feedbacks now where I’ve been requested additional info, and provided it, but the feedback still has an “unread” dot, and is still in the “Requests” folder. I’ve asked multiple times to clear this status in one of those feedbacks (FB14888965), but got no response.
Not the end of the world as long as the engineers are notified, but iirc the dot would disappear as soon as I replied.
Hi,
I keep getting an error message when I try to publish my App made with Rork into Apple IOS.
Message reads
"Submission failed: Submission failed. Contact support. Don’t dump it on Rork — it won’t fix this. We still need a human."
Any help with this would be appreciated.
I am using Microsoft edge and have also used Google Chrome.

Hello,
We tried calling Apple support who suggested they cannot help and work thru emails and discussion forums to resolve the technical issue we are facing to post our first App in App Store.
I have given admin level credential to my son (minor) allowing him to incorporate his Xcode to App Store with his credentials. Apparently, he keeps getting error he does not have enough credentials to do so and we are unable to proceed further. I acknowledge I am not a developer & Apple support team was unable to help, I wonder if there is specific support channel I need to follow to resolve the issue. His App is going to help is Robotics team in upcoming event and we appreciate if someone can kindly point me to right direction to resolve the matter at earliest.

Simply opening Simulator app (26.0) causes high CPU usage on macOS Tahoe (26.1).
ReportCrash process usage is very high throughout and causes the system to heat up pretty soon.
Looking into Console app for the logs found MercuryPosterExtension process is keep on crashing. (Check under Crash Reports)
simctl Diagnose

Share the Simulator Diagnose report while reporting, Thanks.
I have raised a ticket/feedback with Apple. I request all of you to raise one too so this gets fixed soon.

I added an Apple Watch app target for an iOS app. If I install it directly through Xcode it runs, however it seems to be able to communicate with iphone through Watch Connectivity framework and once I close the app it seems to uninstall itself from the watch. When I installed the iphone app frist, the app does not show up on the available apps on the iphone Watch application, what could be the issue ?
The iphone app was created using react native through expo.

On macOS, I get a system popup when running UI tests in GitHub saying:
“bash” is requesting to bypass the system private window picker and directly access your screen and audio.
How can I prevent these login and screen access popups from appearing during automated UI tests? Is there an official setup or configuration for running IntelliJ UI tests in CI environments (macOS, Linux, Windows) to avoid such dialogs? My builds run in GitHub Actions VMs, so I can’t manually grant these permissions, and they block the tests.
I’m developing an app that uses Family Controls to block other apps. I’ve already received approval from Apple for the entitlement, and everything works perfectly when I run the app from Xcode on a physical device.
However, when I upload the same build to TestFlight, the app installs and runs, but the Family Controls functionality doesn’t work — it seems like the entitlement isn’t being applied in the TestFlight version.
So I’d like to ask:
👉 Do Family Controls entitlements work automatically on TestFlight builds, or is there any additional step required to enable them?

Hi,
We use Flat package installers (.pkg based installers) to install our applications on macOS. In macOS 26.1, installation is failing with the error
Unable to use PK session due to incompatible packages. Terminating. 2025-11-03 14:22:36+05:30 Admin-3 installer[1160]: Install failed: The Installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install.
Same installer package is working on macOS 26.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Calling dlopen then dlclose causes an increase in the amount of memory used by the program. If I create a loop that calls dlopen / dlclose repeatedly on the same dynamic library, memory usage increases continuously. Is this a bug, or am I using dlopen / dlclose incorrectly?
I can reproduce this by modifying the sample code in the Apple Developer docs Creating Dynamic Libraries. If I modify Runtime.c, changing the line void *lib_handle = dlopen(lib_name, RTLD_NOW); to add the infinite loop, as below:
void *lib_handle = dlopen(lib_name, RTLD_NOW);
for (int ii = 0; ; ++ii) {
printf("loop %i\n", ii);
int close_err = dlclose(lib_handle);
printf("close error: %i\n", close_err);
printf("dlopen(%s, RTLD_NOW)\n", lib_name);
lib_handle = dlopen(lib_name, RTLD_NOW);
}
then opening and closing the dynamic library will succeed, but memory usage (as reported by top) will rapidly increase.
I'm running on x86_64 macOS 13.6.6. Full code for the modified Runtime.c is attached, the rest of the code is available in the Apple Developer docs.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Chris

What is the recommended approach for distributing an XCFramework that uses common third-party dependencies (like Google Maps) when client apps may also use the same dependencies, resulting in duplicate symbol conflicts?
I'm developing a closed-source SDK distributed as an XCFramework. My SDK internally uses Google Maps for mapping functionality. However, when clients integrate my XCFramework into their apps that also use Google Maps, we encounter duplicate symbol errors.
What I've Tried:
Static vs Dynamic Linking: Both approaches result in conflicts
Static linking: Google Maps symbols compiled into my binary
Dynamic linking: GoogleMaps.framework bundled with my XCFramework
Build Configuration:
Set "Build Libraries for Distribution" = YES
Tried various linking strategies
Architecture Changes:
Used @implementation_only import
Wrapped code with #if canImport(GoogleMaps)
However, the dependencies still get linked at build time
Hi, I'm investigating what looks like possibly nondeterministic behavior when linking large iOS app binaries. I do not have a concise reproduction of the issue yet, but am trying to hunt down possible leads. In particular, the problem appears to surface when invoking clang to link a binary and the resulting order of the 'branch island' instructions appears to be random each time the binary is linked (as shown by the link map output). I was wondering if anyone with insight into the linker's current implementation could shed light on whether that is expected, and if there is anything that can be done to prevent it. FWIW, it seems like it might be size-dependent as smaller app binaries don't appear to exhibit the same behavior. I'd be glad to share more specifics and hopefully a reproduction if I can ever find one eventually. Some environment info (Xcode 16.4 toolchain):

I'm adding a few custom signposts with mxSignpost(.begin,...) and mxSignpost(.end,...). Is there a way to force delivery of the MXMetricPayload so I don't need to wait for the daily aggregation to be pushed?
I'm unable to sign in to Feedback Assistant on macOS. I have two Apple accounts and neither will sign in. I am able to sign in via the website. With the desktop app I'm getting a rather generic error message:

I am trying to communicate with the backend of my project. So I need to install the certificate into the simulator. I have the .pem file but when I drag-dropped it into the simulator, I got
the error "Simulator device failed to complete the requested operation.". The simulator is an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 18.5. Is there any way to install the cert to my simulator?
PS: I can't use Apple Configurator or MDM because I am using the office's Mac. And I can't install anything there. So I can only do it manually.

Stuck at the developer mode startup interface and unable to swipe up.
開発アプリで通知確認を行うため、UDIDをプロビジョニングプロファイルに追加する必要があります。
iPhoneのUDIDは取得することができたのですが、AppleWatchのUDIDを取得する方法が分かりません。
Xcodeと接続してUDIDを取得しようとしましたが、iPhoneのみ認識がされAppleWatchが認識されていません。
AppleWatchもデベロッパモードをONしなければならないとAppleから返答をもらったが、その方法がわからないのでどなたかご教授お願い致します。
My App is not compatible with iPhone 15 but can run on iPhone 14 perfectly fine, what could be the problem?
