I purchased an Apple Developer Account on Saturday. It is now Wednesday and my account has still not been activated. I filed a help ticket but it has not been responded to yet.

Hey everyone, I purchased an Apple Developer Program for 99 USD on January 1 2024, filled out my credit card that I use for iCloud+ storage plan, got my confirmation email that within 48h my developer account should be activated, but it never did. Plus after waiting more than 48h I wrote to support, describing everything, but never heard back from them. One thing I noticed during the checkout was I was asked for everything (name, address, CC number, expiry date) but not the CVV number. Is this normal, and would Apple be able to process the payment without it? I though about going through the enrolment process again, but am afraid of a double charge, in case my original enrolment gets accepted... Please advise and share your experiences when enrolling to the developer program. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I’m posting here to see if anyone has experienced a similar issue or can advise on next steps. I submitted a support request to Apple Developer Support over a week ago and received the automated confirmation, but I haven’t received any follow-up or response yet. Case ID: 102818054039 I’ve already been charged USD 99.00 for the Apple Developer Program, and the payment was successful. Below are some of the relevant details for reference: Product: Apple Developer Program Invoice Number: MC47999846 Invoice Date: January 29, 2026 Web Order Number: D004733307 Sales Order Number: AER8645015 At this point, I’m just looking for a status update or guidance on what to do next. If anyone has suggestions on how to get a response from Apple Developer Support or escalate the issue, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi all, I’m an Admin user in an Apple Developer Program (Organization) team, but I’m unable to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles (CIP) on developer.apple.com. I’d like to understand what permission is missing and where it should be enabled. Context Program type: Apple Developer Program (Organization) My role in App Store Connect: Admin I can access App Store Connect normally, but CIP resources on developer.apple.com are blocked. The Account Holder can access CIP normally. What I see (Problem) In the Apple Developer portal → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get: “Access Unavailable — You currently don't have access to this membership resource. Contact your team's Account Holder or an Admin.” In Xcode → Settings → Accounts → Team, the “Certificates, Identifiers, & Profiles” section shows a red error indicator and doesn’t load. Only my account is affected; the Account Holder is not. What we’ve tried / confirmed Membership is active (renewal date is valid) Signed out/in of Xcode and re-added my Apple ID Confirmed selecting the correct Organization team in Xcode / Developer portal Account Holder confirmed they can access CIP Questions For an Organization team, what exact permission(s) are required for a member to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles? Where is this access controlled — App Store Connect → Users and Access vs developer.apple.com → People? If Admin in App Store Connect is not sufficient, what additional role/setting is needed to grant CIP access?

This api is experiencing 503 errors again. Please fix it as soon as possible.

I received a developer team invite. When I click on the link to accept the invite, a new page opens. There is a proccessing spinner on the page, but it does not go any farther. I have left if run for quite some time, but it just keeps spinning. I am on a mac book pro Thanks

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here has run into this before. I created an Apple Developer account and everything was working fine until Apple asked me to verify my work email address. The email is legitimate and matches my website domain. Apple did send me the verification email, and I received the code without any issue. However, when I entered the code, it repeatedly said the code was incorrect — even though I’m certain it was entered correctly. After a few attempts, I hit the limit and now see a message saying I’ve exceeded the maximum number of attempts (3). I contacted Apple Developer Support through the developer site about a week ago but haven’t received any response yet. At this point: I can log into my Apple ID normally with no issues I cannot proceed with enrolling in the Apple Developer Program I can’t pay the fee or complete setup because the email verification step is blocked It’s been over a week since the lockout, and I’m not sure how to reset the verification or trigger a new code. Has anyone experienced this before, or does anyone know how to get this resolved? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

We are currently experiencing the following: Developers who are invited to Appstore Connect in the "Administrator" role and are members of the development team no longer have access to the team's developer resources at https://developer.apple.com Even after deleting the user and a new invitation, there is no access to the developer resources. The problem has existed since yesterday and can be traced in several developer accounts.

Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on Tuesday evening, November 4th, 2025. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership”. It’s now been several days, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information. I already contacted Apple Support by email, but I’d like to know if other developers have experienced the same situation and how long it took before their account was activated. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback! — Martin

Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding my Apple Developer account, which is still pending approval. It has been several days since I completed the registration process and submitted all the required information, but I have not received any confirmation or update yet. I understand that the review process can take some time, but as I urgently need access to my developer account for an ongoing project, I would greatly appreciate it if you could look into this matter and provide an update on the current status of my application Please let me know if any additional information or verification is required from my side to expedite the process. Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your prompt response

Hi, It is the second time I am trying to create a Developer account and having the same issue. First time, my account was "pending" for weeks until the payment were refunded to my account. I called to Apple Store, which told me the issue could be with the bank processing. I called the bank, which said the issue could be with Apple processing. Now again, trying it, and Pending... Anyone had this issue and could give me some help please ?

Hi everyone, I registered for the Apple Developer Program about a week ago and my status is still Pending. I’ve emailed Apple but haven’t received any response yet. Just wondering if others are experiencing the same thing recently, or if there’s another way to follow up. Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, My Apple Developer account is still pending approval. Payment has been successfully charged from my bank, and all required steps are completed. Has anyone experienced this recently or knows the current approval timelines? I have my Order ID available if needed. Thanks.

Whats the deal with apple taking money from people for a developer account and doing nothing about it. There's a growing number of users waiting weeks and some over a month who have paid for a developer account and are not receiving what they paid for. When trying to reach out to Apple they are ignored and never answered. Some would label this theft or fraud. Whats going on?

We are currently developing a research-based iOS application that relies heavily on background capabilities, specifically Significant Location Change. We are using CLLocationManager.startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges(). During development, when using Debug → Simulate Location in Xcode, we receive a location update only once. Subsequent simulated location changes do not trigger additional callbacks, which makes testing and development quite cumbersome. Are there any tools, commands, or workflows (e.g., via Xcode, Instruments, or system-level simulation) to reliably simulate multiple significant location change callbacks for testing purposes? If there aren't such tools, how do I test this behaviour reliably, robustly and rigidly?

Hello i tried to enroll for Apple developer program but i got that messageYour enrollment could not be completed."Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time."And i am not able to proceed further.Thanks

Dear Apple Developer Program Legal/Compliance Team, I am writing in response to the termination notice regarding my Apple Developer Program account, in which Apple cites an alleged violation of Section 3.2(f) of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (ADP Agreement), based on “documented indications of fraudulent conduct.” I respectfully request formal clarification and detailed information regarding this determination, as I take compliance obligations under Apple’s agreements very seriously. Specifically, I kindly request the following: Clarification of Alleged Conduct Please specify the exact actions, behaviors, or activities that Apple has determined to constitute a violation of Section 3.2(f), including the category of conduct involved (e.g., technical interference, platform misuse, fraudulent activity, distribution abuse, business practice violations, or other). Scope and Nature of the Evidence Without requesting disclosure of sensitive internal systems, I respectfully ask for clarification regarding the general nature of the evidence relied upon (e.g., transactional records, system logs, behavioral patterns, policy violations, or platform integrity signals). Account-Level vs. Application-Level Issues Please confirm whether the alleged violation relates to: A specific application or applications, Account-level activity, Distribution mechanisms (TestFlight, Custom App Distribution, Ad Hoc, etc.), Or external operational behavior associated with the developer account. Opportunity for Rectification or Compliance Remediation Kindly advise whether Apple provides any compliance remediation pathway, corrective action mechanism, or review process for cases involving Section 3.2(f), including: Formal reconsideration or appeal procedures, Regulatory complaint mechanisms, Compliance audit or corrective action submissions, Reinstatement eligibility criteria. Reapplication and Cooling-Off Period Requirements Please clarify the conditions, requirements, and compliance expectations associated with the stated reapplication restriction period, including whether specific remediation steps, certifications, or compliance documentation may be required prior to any future eligibility review. My intent is to fully understand the nature of the determination, ensure full legal and contractual compliance, and clarify whether any formal resolution or review mechanisms exist under Apple’s policies or applicable platform regulations. I respectfully request that this inquiry be handled through the appropriate legal or compliance review channel. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jiuru Song [Team ID / Developer ID if available]8DJDU79WZ7 [Company Name, if applicable]ASIA DIGITAL ALLIANCE PTE. LTD.

Hi all, I am experiencing an error when attempting to pay for apple developer program "Your payment authorisation failed on card •••XXXX. Please verify your information and try again, or try another payment method." I have tried multiple payment methods and even another bank, Apple wont let me pay with apple pay in my region (AUS). Any suggestions?

Hello! This is already my third post regarding this issue. I have been waiting for almost a month and have sent approximately 10 emails to Apple Developer Program Support. I have received no response at all — no updates, no explanations, and no assistance. What makes this situation particularly unacceptable is that Apple Support is clearly active and responding to similar enrollment issues in other forum threads. Seeing support help others while completely ignoring my case for an entire month is extremely frustrating and difficult to justify. This level of silence from Apple is not just disappointing — it reflects a serious breakdown in the enrollment support process.
