How to contact an app developer

You can find contact information for app developers using your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple TV.

You might want to contact the developer or publisher of an app for help if you experience one of these issues:

  • All apps on your iPhone open and function as expected, except for one.
  • You previously bought a non-consumable in-app purchase and aren't able to restore your purchases in the app.

Use your iOS device to find the support information for developers of iOS, Messages, or Watch apps; your Mac to find information for developers of Mac apps; and your Apple TV for information for developers of Apple TV apps.
