I’ve been receiving “Apple Developer Program License Agreement updated” notifications in Helm and AppFigures, but all the agreements appear to be up-to-date. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Another unexpected opportunity 2026 threw my way: I got the call to be on Jeopardy! Tune in next Thursday, March 19 (or March 20 on Hulu or Peacock), to watch me on the Alex Trebek Stage!

Submitted two apps 7 hours apart. The second one went into review first and is already approved. The first is still waiting. No explanation, no logic, no consistency. The App Store review process has gotten so bad lately it's starting to feel like 2009. This is not how you treat developers trying to build businesses on your platform.
Michael Tsai - Blog - Mac App Store Review Times Increasing

Motorist was approved within a couple of hours. Screens for Mac and iOS still waiting for review 3 days later while the visionOS version was finally approved. Go figure.
On the other hand, TestFlight builds were approved within just a few hours of submission. 🤷‍♂️
Are App Store review times slowing down again? 2 days waiting for review and counting. Feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen that.

I love Express Mode, especially when visiting a new city and I can just tap to ride the metro, bus or tram.

In general, cities aren't very proactive at advertising when it's supported. Ads might say you can 'tap and ride' or use contactless, but rarely mention Express Mode (formerly Express Transit Mode).

As a project, I’ve been building a site to document which cities support this, and which do not:

Has anyone actually gotten Apple Branded Mail to work reliably?

DNS TXT + DMARC are verified. It worked briefly, then silently stopped and never recovered.

And unsurprisingly, Apple Business Connect provides no way to contact support. 🤦‍♂️
