Have been trying to enroll in the Apple developer program, but every time after filling out all the forms and agreeing to the agreements, I'm being prompted with, "We are unable to process your request" repeatedly.
I wanted to know what is the issue and how to fix it so I can properly enroll in the developer program

Hello Developer Community,
I'm facing a critical situation with our company's Apple Developer Account. We are unable to access our account because:
The admin of our Apple Developer Account is a former team member
We cannot reach this person anymore
We need to regain access to maintain our app on the App Store
Questions:
What is the official process to recover account access in this situation?
What documentation will Apple require to verify our company ownership?
Who should we contact at Apple to start this process?
Any guidance from developers who have experienced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I'll be happy to provide more details if needed, while keeping sensitive information private.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I’m having a problem with my Apple Developer subscription payment:
1️⃣ My card was successfully charged €99 – I have a confirmation email from the payment system
2️⃣ But my Apple Developer account shows "Order Canceled" – the cart displays this status
Additionally, when I log into my account, it prompts me to register again as if the payment didn’t go through.
Questions:
How can I restore access to Apple Developer?
What should I do about the payment—will it be refunded automatically, or do I need to contact support?
Could this be a system error, and should I try paying again?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I signed up for the dev account three days ago. I’ve sent multiple emails and requested a phone call multiple times and no one has responded to me.
Hello,
I made a payment for an Apple Developer account on January 22, 2025, but the processing has not been completed yet. According to Apple's stated timeline, the account should be processed within two business days, but it has now been significantly delayed.
I have already sent a follow-up email and a message via the support form, but I have not received any response. I would appreciate any guidance from the community or Apple representatives on how to proceed.
Has anyone else faced a similar delay recently? Is there any alternative way to escalate this issue?
Looking forward to any insights.
Ali
I am the sole administrator of a paid company Apple Developer account, and as of today I’m completely locked out everywhere: I cannot sign in to App Store Connect, developer.apple.com, or even account.apple.com. Every login attempt returns either “Please verify your account information and try again” or “This account is locked and can’t be used.”
I have never changed my password, Two-Factor Authentication is enabled and delivering codes, there are no pending agreements or banking/tax forms, and I see no unrecognized devices in my account. I’ve tried multiple networks, browsers, and devices, and I’ve already contacted Apple Support—yet no explanation or resolution has been provided.
This total lockout is preventing our app submissions from moving forward and putting our entire release schedule at risk. I need:
A clear, specific reason why my corporate Developer account has been locked.
Any immediate steps or known workarounds to restore full access.
Advice from anyone who has faced the same unexplained lockout.

I cannot renew my membership after it expired in January of 2025. I initially let it lapse, but I decided to renew it. There is nowhere to renew it. There is no renew button in the Developer App, and the web application tells me it expired, but doesn't provide an option to renew. It just tells me to go to the Developer App and click on the Renew button which isn't there.

Hi to whom it may concern,
My company has hired an outsource to help us in developing our mobile app. But the person haven't received any invitation email to create developer account for their email company domain.
The outsource company has checked with their infra team, either the invitation email was blocked, but it wasn't. Is there any solution for this?
as summary my current company is inviting an outsource that used their company email to create developer account. but the email hasn't reached their end.

Hello,
I represent a registered business operating under a developer account that has always followed Apple’s guidelines, complied fully with review requests, and submitted documentation whenever asked. We have never knowingly violated any policy, and we categorically deny any dishonest or fraudulent behavior.
Last week, our developer account was suddenly terminated without any prior warning or opportunity to address concerns. The message provided no specific reason, no actionable details, and no path to resolution. This has left us completely locked out — unable to appeal through standard channels, and unable to contact anyone directly. It’s shocking, disorienting, and devastating to a legitimate business with employees, users, and operations depending on this platform.
To make matters worse, this is not the first time. A previous termination notice was sent weeks ago and then — after we submitted a respectful and professional appeal — Apple quietly reversed the decision overnight, without any explanation or follow-up. We were left to assume it was a mistake. We had hoped that incident was rare and behind us.
Now it’s happening again, without explanation, and without a human conversation. We are losing money and users every day, and we’re still in the dark about what Apple believes we did wrong — because no one has told us.
We submitted a support ticket (ID: 102590329012), but have received no reply. We are committed to transparency, and we’re ready to provide any information needed. But we need someone to acknowledge this issue and help us find a path forward.
If anyone has experienced something similar or knows of escalation methods that worked, please share. We’re doing everything we can to resolve this respectfully — but we are shocked and deeply concerned.
Thank you.

Hi there,
Last week i was finally able to get through and purchase my membership for the Apple Developer Program.
The problem is, even though I already paid, it keeps saying:
"Purchase your membership.
To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now, Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process."
I've tried to reach out to apple developer support numerous times, but no reply whatsoever...
What do i do at this point?

My business is trying to renew our Apple Account. On renewal we get a message saying we’ll receiving an enrollment status email soon - we are yet to receive one and it’s been over a week. Our Apps have since been removed from the App Store. We have multiple cases open with Developer Support, the only response to date was with a number to call. That number was for consumer support and thus couldn’t help.
How can we get hold of someone to assist? This is having a massive impact on our business.

I have an iPhone 11 phone. I installed Beta 2. I installed Beta 1. In both beta, my battery comes as 1%. And I can use the phone. As a solution, I have to go back to version 18.5. Is this problem solved in the new beta?

Hello,
We are developing an MDM solution.
In addition to the cloud-based version, we are also developing an on-premises version of the MDM solution for organizations such as government agencies and other entities for whom using public cloud services is difficult.
In such cases, regarding the "MDM vendor CSR certificate" to be included in the on-premises package:
Would it be acceptable to use a certificate owned by our company (the MDM vendor)?
Or would it be necessary for the client organization to prepare a new certificate themselves?

I have been trying to enrol for an apple developer program for more than 2 weeks now. The goal is to enrol as a company. We got a DUNS number and everything.
1st attempt: With a new appleid account based on a company address, done through a browser. Payment details submitted, got thank you page, a week later nothing...
Apple support suggests doing this on the app.
2nd attempt: WIthdrew application, used a mobile device and logon with the new appleid on the device. Downloaded apple developer app. Logged on the app with the same apple id. App asked me to take pictures of my id card, failed to submit with message "Unable to send information - Your information could not be sent due to a connection error"
Googled the above saw 100s of people facing the same issue, apple developer forum is flooded with people that are stuck to either the first or the second scenario.
3rd attempt: Used my existing personal appleid to create an account.
Again either stuck on 1st or 2nd scenario
4rd attempt: Created a brand new apple id with a new email address.
Again stuck in either the first or second scenario.
Dear Apple, why are you making this so complicated?
Apple support, can we get some individual support here and not just the canned replies? Enrolment IDs and case numbers available upon request.
Many thanks.
