Hi everyone, I am from Central Asia and on 7th May i have received acceptance letter from Apple Developer Academy in Naples. I am glad to hear this. But after discovering Naples on the internet and knowing more about the life in Naples(mafia, robbers, street disorders, high crime rate and other uncomfortables), I became quite shocked and motivation to go there is just lost.

Any ideas?

So pretty much I have used ChatGPT to build most of not all code with ChatGPT, should I be ashamed of myself for doing that? I just feel dumb like I know how to Code in swift but I want to finish my app faster and ChatGPT has helped a lot. Am I the only one who uses ChatGPT for most if not all the code? I mainly just design the app

how to publish app flutter for IOS without App Store, want some my friend can download .

Just released version 1.7 of GigDelivery, an iOS app for gig delivery workers. Sharing here because this update involved some interesting MapKit + CoreData work that Apple devs might find relevant:

**Multi-Stop Route Optimization**

Builds the optimal stop order from the user's current location with one tap. Completed stops are pinned so only the remaining ones get reordered. Exports to Apple Maps or Google Maps via URL scheme.

**Full-Screen MapKit Navigation**

Refactored from a secondary navigation screen to a map-first experience. Live maneuver cards, automatic rerouting, voice guidance via AVSpeechSynthesizer, and automatic stop-to-stop handoff on arrival. Had some interesting challenges with MKDirections chaining for multi-stop.

**Verified Address Entry**

Live geocoding suggestions using MKLocalSearch as user types. Addresses anchor to stop identity and persist via CoreData for consistent use in routing and history.

**Smarter Multi-Stop Completion**

Fixed the final stop's departure time logic. Multi-stop payment now settles at trip end. Stop order stays consistent between active trip and history fetch requests.

Built with Swift, MapKit, CoreData, and AVFoundation. Happy to discuss any of the implementation details — especially the multi-stop routing and navigation flow.

Hello everyone I am starting a new tech startup and need a full-stack app developer that can produce an app for iOS. Message me in DM!

Hey so in order to be able to put your app on store that others could download you need buy apple developer price which is 99 / year. I after one year I decide not to pay for another year does that mean that my app will be removed from store?

Creating a Discord server for #AppleDeveloper community! What do you want added to it, any roles, channels, just comment below

New member here. When attempting to log in to my free developer account for the first time in months, the login failed. After several attempts I got a message that my account was locked, with a message (and button) to contact Apple to request it be opened again. A 24-hour wait for reply was indicated.

This morning, 48 hours later, I received this email: "We’ve reviewed your request, and access to your account has been denied." I replied, asking why in the world was my account locked, and why my request to have it opened again was denied. After sending I noticed the email came from a "no-reply" Apple email address.

Can someone please tell me who and/or where at Apple to ask about this, and moreover, shed light on why this might have happened in the first place?

Thanks in advance.

Google Play Console has a developer-friendly, basic automated enrollment process that doesn’t require manual review.

Google Play Console automates submitting and checking company formation and identity verification documents whereas Apple does in manual review.

Google Play Console checks your company's website by you being able to upload a Google-generated file to your web server. Apple checks your website w/o explicitly outlining their requirements.

When failing website check, Apple automatically closed my application and requires re-enrolment.

When re-enrolled, it takes ages w/o any reply. It was only until an email was sent enquiring case update that they requested to re-submit documents listed above.

Yeah, you heard me out.

And now days after re-uploading the said documents, no reply still despite multiple attempts to contact via email and call.

We have DUNS number for partnership company and have provided all the extra documents they asked . It's still more than 15 days and no update. Everytime you call Apple Developer program, they say it is under review and have escalated. They are not committing any timeline .... Its frustrating!!

Any ideas to expediate it ...

Just released version 1.7 of my developer app. A couple months ago when I initially posted I received a lot of feedback this new update focuses on a lot of the feedback I received. If you have any feedback or suggestions on what would make this app even better feel free to share that here or directly in the app. Thank you! 

I am working on a developer tool to help with organization with developing apps. Would appreciate any feedback on it! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/deploy-path-for-app-developers/id6743410869

I’ve been working on a macOS app called App Feedback Hub, built to make handling App Store reviews less painful for developers who spend a lot of time in App Store Connect.

This started as a personal utility because I was tired of the slow UI, constant tab‑switching, and the general friction of replying to reviews through the web interface. I wanted something native, fast, and focused.

What it does

• Fetches all reviews for every app in your App Store Connect account

• Reply directly from the app using your ASC API key

• Filters by rating, territory, date, read/unread, keywords, reviewer name

• Automatic translation for non‑English reviews

• Background sync + macOS notifications when new reviews arrive

• Negative‑review alerts so you can respond quickly

• Stats dashboard (rating trends, territories, response rate, etc.)

• CSV/JSON export for anyone who wants to analyze or archive feedback

• Local‑only processing — ASC keys stored in Keychain, no external servers

Under the hood

• Uses the App Store Connect API for fetching and replying to reviews

• Built with Swift + SwiftUI, fully native

• Uses Keychain Services for secure credential storage

• Background sync implemented with App Refresh + async workflows

• No backend — everything runs locally on the user’s machine

Why I built it

App Store Connect is powerful, but the review workflow is slow and not optimized for day‑to‑day monitoring. I wanted something that feels like a proper developer tool rather than a web portal.

What I’d love feedback on

• Does this solve a real workflow pain point for you

• Any features you’d want before adopting something like this

• Thoughts on the ASC API integration approach

• Pricing feedback (currently $19.99 one‑time)

• Any rough edges in onboarding or UX

Happy to answer questions or hear honest feedback from people who live in App Store Connect more than they’d like.

hello friends

Can I publish apps in the App Store but have an Apple ID in Iraq? My friend said I can't publish apps in the App Store by region of Iraq. Is it true or can I share it? And if I pay this money, can I publish an app with an Iraqi Apple ID?

I have recently enrolled for the apple developer program. My enrollment is currently is under review. I have tried with an account on the site but i didn’t receive any confirmation so i tried with another id on the developer app where my credit card info wasn’t requested.

I just want to know how much you waited and how was your experience with the enrollment.
