Any way to access the enterprise api as university students?
Hi, I am currently a Phd student from CMU working on a XR project with Vision Pro. I found the latest released enterprise APIs can be really helpful for our project, especially the configuration of the object tracking provider. However, I found a personal developer account can not access those APIs. And also it requires me to be a founder of the organization of the university when I try to update my account to an organization(CMU). I wonder is there any way to let the student still have a chance to try those fantastic APIs and some research based on them? I really need those functions and I believe what I am working on is also going to be a great demo of the Vision Pro. Thanks,

TKDN (Domestic Component Level ) in ID
Dear Apple, Suggestions to rise tour TKDN in IS: Make small components from ID, such as iPhone case,IPad case, etc Continue with Productivity to build Apple Developer, recruiting local developer and headed by Apple developer Train local technician to repair or replace some components from Apple device (off course they must be original parts). I think it will fit 35% or more TKDN p.s: someone in my family is interested to be Apple Dev, and increase skill from Android Dev

Urgent Assistance Needed: Developer Account Blocked Without Notice
Hello Apple Support, I'm reaching out in desperation, as my Apple Developer account was suddenly blocked without any prior notice. I'm writing from a different email address because I can't access my original account at all. I've dedicated years of hard work, energy, and resources to build my applications and support my users through this platform. The sudden blocking of my account has not only put my business in jeopardy but also significantly impacted my personal life, as my income and livelihood heavily depend on it. The potential loss of revenue and the disruption to my users is devastating. I’m deeply hurt and disheartened by the lack of communication and would appreciate any help to resolve this situation as quickly as possible. I kindly request guidance on how I can recover my account, or at the very least, understand why this action was taken. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I’m hopeful for a quick resolution.

Completely new to programming, looking for resources.
Hello Everyone, I am completely new to programming, I have played with the Playgrounds app and I understand how some of the basic concepts work, however when going through "A Swift Tour" on developer.apple.com I struggle to understand a lot of the concepts presented. Are there any resources that someone can recommend so I can continue to learn? I tried just watching the video and searching the things I didn't understand, but I don't think I am learning much this way.

Transaction jwsRepresentation contains price in milliunits
Hello! We using jwsRepresentation for Transaction. In documentation we found The decoded payloads of the jwsRepresentation and JWSTransaction strings contain price fields that are specified in milliunits of the currency; StoreKit represents the price in units of currency. Take care not to confuse these two representations when working with both APIs. source But when we decoded JWS, we found what price are specified in units (but we were expecting to get milliunits) We using https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/product/purchaseresult/success switch result { case .success(let verification): let jwsRepresentation = verification.jwsRepresentation ... And when we decoded jwsRepresentation we get { "transactionId": ".....", "originalTransactionId": ".....", "webOrderLineItemId": ".....", "bundleId": ".....", "productId": ".....", "subscriptionGroupIdentifier": ".....", "purchaseDate": ".....", "originalPurchaseDate": ".....", "expiresDate": ".....", "quantity": 1, "type": ".....", "deviceVerification": ".....", "deviceVerificationNonce": ".....", "appAccountToken": ".....", "inAppOwnershipType": ".....", "signedDate": ".....", "environment": ".....", "transactionReason": ".....", "storefront": ".....", "storefrontId": ".....", "price": 12990, "currency": "USD" }

Can not access VPP server "ax.itunes.apple.com"
Hi Dear Apple Developer, We had some problem to ping iTunes server since Oct-30, 2024. Previously we can ping the VPP server url http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/wsSearch?media=software&entity=software&country=US&lang=en_us&limit=1&term= w/o any issues, but now it failed. Even if I tried to use "https" to access the above url, it still failed with error "This server could not prove that it is ax.itunes.apple.com; its security certificate is from a248.e.akamai.net. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection." And finally ended with this error "Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/wsSearch?" on this server. Reference #18.55503617.1730815948.be1bde3 https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.55503617.1730815948.be1bde3" Same that we had problem to get VPP app details via url: http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/wsLookup?country=us&id=6445849909 Is there any changes to this url recently? Thanks, Wei

Numbers crashing
Numbers recently began crashing on startup. It barely has time to display the open dialog box, then boom! I've tried: Booting in Safe Mode, Deleting preferences in user library (Container files too), no joy. Is there anything else I can delete? I have confirmed that it works fine in another user account on the same machine. So the problem is somewhere in my account. I'd appreciate any suggestions. I'm running MacOS Version 15.0 Beta (24A5298h). but numbers has been fine until literally this weekend. The betaOS was installed a few weeks ago. I've added nothing to the machine since that.

iOS App Screen Sharing Solution?
Context: I’m not an app developer, but I’m doing some research in order to gain a high level understanding of an app that I want some developers to build for me. Basically I need a navigation app built (integrated with Google Maps) that works pretty much like Google Maps. This app will connect to and stream live navigation data to a car HUD (heads-up-display) device using WiFi direct (to facilitate high bandwidth streaming). The purpose of the streaming from the mobile app to the HUD is so that the driver can see the live map without having to look at their phone. This leads me to my QUESTION: this functionality (streaming from app to HUD) is similar to what AirPlay does & I’ve read that Apple rejects apps that replicate AirPlay’s screen mirroring function. I’ve also read that in order to work around this, my app should limit the information that is sent to & displayed by the HUD device (basically, shouldn’t mirror the whole screen). So, would Apple still reject my app if it only streamed the live map onto the HUD device & left out all the other information displayed on the app (ETA, turn signals, distances etc.) and thus refraining from streaming the entire screen?

Unable to renew Apple Developer subscription using managed Apple Account
We use managed Apple accounts for all users in our environment. One of these accounts is associated with an App Store app. Currently the developer console has a banner that says: "There's no credit/debit card on the Apple Online Store associated with your Apple ID to auto-renew your membership." This account, as well as my own admin account, are unable to add a payment method to our Apple account. We're missing the "Payments & Shipping" button on the Manage Account page. How can we renew our developer subscription to keep our app on the App Store? It's critical for us that the account that owns this app is managed. TIA

Server docking subscription and automatic subscription interface

How should I know which user initiated the subscription, or which user automatically subscribed during automatic renewal? Do you have a user account or ID? I hope to receive your complete answer as soon as possible. Best wishes.

Is It Possible to Revert an Apple Developer Account from Business to Personal?
I recently upgraded my Apple Developer account from a personal account to a business account. However, I would like to revert back to a personal account. The reason is that I plan to create a separate developer account for a company using a different company email, and I want to use my original account for publishing personal apps. Is it possible to change the account type back to personal? If so, what steps do I need to follow? If not, are there any other options I should consider? Thank you for your help!

Is this business model counted as in-app purchase?
Hello All, My team and I are developing a mobile application (offgrid) to help combat screen addiction. Our application will allow users through gamification, to challenge each other to stay off certain predetermined apps on their phone for a set amount of time and risk their own money. The money will act as a reinforcement to stay focused and off the application. Example: Jon challenges Jen to stay off Instagram for 1 hour for $5. If Jen accepts the challenge, she and Jon cannot go on Instagram. If Jen or Jon decides to click the Instagram app within the hour, the $5 automatically goes to the winner via Apple Pay or another service. If they complete the challenge and stay off Instagram then there is no exchange of money. I will also give the option for users to challenge each other and risk their money for a charity cause if someone loses. My question is, will the exchange of money count as an in-app purchase, or will the winner receive the full amount? Also, if the money goes to charity, will that count as an in-app purchase? Thanks!
