I have to say I'm extremely disappointed with Apple.
For weeks, I've been trying to enroll as an individual in the Apple Developer Program, but every single attempt ends with the same message:
"Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time."
I contacted Apple Developer Support, hoping they could explain the issue. Instead, I received this generic response:
"For one or more reasons, your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program couldn't be completed. We can't continue with your enrollment at this time."
No explanation. No guidance. No indication of what I did wrong or whether I can ever enroll.
I sent additional emails asking for clarification, but they simply stopped responding.
As an independent developer, this experience has been incredibly frustrating. I've spent countless hours building applications with the goal of releasing them on Apple's platform, only to discover that I can't even join the Developer Program—and no one is willing to tell me why.
At this point, I honestly don't think developing for Apple is worth the time, effort, or investment. It's painful to realize how much work I've put into building apps that I may never be able to publish.
This experience has completely changed my opinion of Apple. I'm so disappointed that I've decided to stop using Apple products altogether. I'll be moving away from my iPhone, Apple Watch, MacBook, and iPad because I no longer want to invest in an ecosystem that treats independent developers this way.
