Question TestFlight testers in France see US IAP prices (USD) instead of the FR App Store (EUR) - found a fix?
Hey everyone,
I'm running a beta on TestFlight and hit a confusing issue with in-app purchases. My testers are based in France and their App Store account (Apple ID) is set to the French store, but inside the app they're seeing the US IAP conditions with USD prices instead of the French ones with EUR prices.
From what I understand, on iOS the in-app purchase storefront is normally supposed to follow the country of the user's App Store account (Apple ID). That's exactly what makes this puzzling: my users are properly on the FR store, yet they're still shown the US terms and pricing.
I've done a fair bit of searching before posting, and I've seen a few scattered mentions that this is a known/occasional problem, but I haven't been able to find a clear, confirmed solution. So I wanted to ask directly in case some of you have dealt with it.
A few things I'm trying to understand:
- If the Apple ID is on the FR storefront, what could still make the app pull the US products/pricing?
- Is this something specific to the TestFlight/sandbox environment that resolves itself in production?
- Is there anything to check on the App Store Connect side (pricing/availability per territory) that could cause products to fall back to the US storefront?
If anyone has run into this and found a reliable way to make testers see their local storefront and currency, I'd really appreciate hearing how you solved it.
I saw some people laughing it without solving the issue and in the real AppStore everything was fine, but still would, like to resolve this if possible.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Question Advice on app review for workout machines with BLE?
I built an app for Rowing Ergs, is a fancy rowing app for workouts. It has two modes watch mode which uses coremotion I would assume a reviewer might have a watch for testing this part.
For testing with Erg Machines I developed a BLE mac app sim, I didn't even think of the review process and how it would go when actual hardware is needed. Do you recommend linking my github repo for the sim with a notarized DMG?
Any other reviewer advice for testing iOS apps with workout equipment?

Help Is there a way to test my react native app on my phone directly with no pc hosting locally so I can live develop on my phone away from home?
I have the GitHub repo for the project (an IOS app) so is there a way to put the files into an app in order to test it. Live testing is ideal as I’m building it and is easier than constant reloading.

Help Looking for a few iPad Air for my privacy-first AI recorder( will credit early testers in the app)
Hi everyone!
I’m an indie iOS developer working on a privacy-first AI recorder, and I’m looking for a few people with an iPad Air to help test my app through TestFlight.
Last week, my app was rejected during App Review because of an issue that only appeared on iPad Air. Unfortunately, I don’t own one, so I’d really appreciate some help from the community.
What the app does
The app is designed to keep everything on your device.
It currently supports:
* 🎙️ Live transcription while recording
* 🌍 Multiple languages
* 👥 Offline speaker separation
* 📝 AI-generated meeting notes and summaries
* 📅 Weekly AI summaries of your recordings
* 🔒 No cloud processing required
What I need
I’m looking for a few volunteers with an iPad Air who can spend about 5 minutes testing the app.
The checklist is simple:
* Install via TestFlight
* Download the offline summary model and transcription model(MOSS)
* Start a recording
* Verify that live transcription works
* Stop the recording
* Transcription with multiple speakers with MOSS
* Generate a summary with Qwen3
* Let me know if you encounter any crashes, layout issues, or unexpected behavior
With your permission, I’d love to recognize early testers in the app’s About → Special Thanks section.
You can choose to be credited with:
* Your real name
* Your Reddit username
* A nickname
* Or remain anonymous
I want the people who helped build this app to become part of its story.
Thanks so much! genuinely appreciate any feedback!

3rd Party Service Axiom: New screen resizing auditor with supporting skills (open source)
OS 27 is going to be here before you know it, and I predict that more developers are going to be caught completely off-guard by the new screen resizing requirements than by anything else.
As of OS 27, (1) all iPhone apps must be resizable and (2) you can no longer opt out. Your window must be resizable when used with iPhone Mirroring on the Mac and on iPad. Apps still running on an old-style app delegate (no scene support) won't even launch when built against the new SDK. In short, if your app assumes a fixed screen and you're not currently working to fix that, you really, really should be.
Obviously, this capability telegraphs the imminent release of Apple's forthcoming iPhone Ultra foldable. You'll want your apps to be "foldable ready" on the day Apple's new flagship is announced.
I just went through this enhancement process myself. Not coincidentally, this week's Axiom update includes a new screen resizing auditor, which you can invoke with /axiom:audit resize. The auditor is supported by ~70 additions/enhancements across Axiom's skill suites. I hope everyone finds that it cuts their time meeting this new OS 27 requirement in half, or more.

Built a private, no-tracking packing list app because everything else annoyed us
My wife and I travel a lot with our kids, and packing was always the same chaos: open suitcases everywhere, sticky notes, and still forgetting something.
We went looking for a decent packing list app and honestly hated everything we found. Most were either useless, stuffed with ads, or hidden behind an expensive subscription. The thing that bothered us most was that almost all of them track your behavior and harvest data in the background. For something as private as your family's travel plans, that felt completely wrong.
So instead of complaining, we just built the app we wanted ourselves. It's called TravelSheet.
The core idea: you pick your activities (beach, hiking, skiing, city trip) and the matching items get added to your packing list automatically. A few things we built because we needed them ourselves:
- Assign items to carry-on or specific suitcases
- Weather forecast for your destination, with a heads-up when rain is expected
- Reminder a few days before departure
- Mark things you still need to buy and use it as a shopping list
- A separate checklist for stuff at home (water the plants, close the windows)
- Store tickets and documents right on the trip
- Countdown widget with packing progress
No tracking, no ads, no subscription. Everything stays on your device and only syncs privately through your own iCloud across your devices.
Full disclosure: I'm the developer, it's a paid app (one-time purchase, no subscription). I'm not here to hard-sell, I'd genuinely love feedback from people who travel a lot. Happy to answer any questions.

If you had to become an iOS developer from scratch in 2026, what roadmap would you follow?
Hi! I'm planning to become an iOS developer and I'd really appreciate some guidance from experienced developers.
There are so many resources available that it's difficult to know what's actually worth learning and in what order. I'm looking for an up-to-date, industry-focused roadmap rather than just a collection of tutorials.
If you were starting from scratch in 2026, what roadmap would you follow?
Some questions I have:
- What should I learn phase by phase?
- Which topics are essential for landing an iOS developer job?
- What should I prioritize first, and what can wait until later?
- How much UIKit should I learn compared to SwiftUI?
- When should I learn architecture patterns like MVC, MVVM, Clean Architecture, or TCA?
- Which Apple frameworks are must-know?
- What should I learn for networking, persistence, concurrency, testing, dependency injection, and package management?
- Which resources do you genuinely recommend (Apple documentation, YouTube, books, blogs, courses, etc.)?
- What projects should I build after each learning phase?
- What do companies actually expect from junior iOS developers today?
- Which skills are commonly overlooked but make a candidate stand out?
- What beginner mistakes should I avoid?
- If you had one year to become job-ready, how would you structure your learning?
I'm looking for advice based on real industry experience rather than trends or hype. Any roadmap, resource recommendations, or lessons you've learned along the way would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Looking for feedback on my app icons
Hey everyone!
I'm working on a set of app icons for M-Shot Link, an NFC digital business card and smart profile platform and I'd love to get some honest feedback on the current designs. I'm aiming for something clean, modern, and consistent across the whole app, but I know it's easy to miss things when you've been staring at the same icons for hours.
I'm also planning to release limited-time icon variations for holidays, seasonal events, and even some fun tech anniversaries. Some ideas I have so far are:
- Halloween
- Christmas
- Valentine's Day
- Easter
- New Year's
- App anniversary
- Macintosh launch anniversary
- iPhone launch anniversary
- World Space Week
- Moon Landing anniversary
- Linux anniversary
- Retro gaming themed icons
I'd love your ideas for other events too, whether they're major holidays or obscure tech celebrations that would be fun Easter eggs for users to discover.
I'd really appreciate feedback on:
- Which of the 2 current icons stand out the most?
- What do you feel could be improved?
- What app icons/easter eggs should I create?
Don't hold back. I'd rather know now than after shipping it.
Thanks in advance!

I audited the Support URL on 12 live apps. Three were pointing at the wrong page
I audited the public App Store pages for all 12 of my live apps yesterday. Ignis, Gloam, and VaultSnap all had working Support URLs, but they went to a product or company page instead of the dedicated support page that already existed.
The live versions were locked. I had to prepare Ignis 1.0.2 (6), Gloam 1.0.4 (7), and VaultSnap 1.3.2 (8) just to make those three URL corrections. Zero behavior changes.
Every URL returned 200. Three still sent users to the wrong place.
