Hi,
I have been attempting enroll in Apple Developer program with my organization. As part of the enrollment process, legal authority must be approved by a member of my organization. We have attempted submitting the approvals a couple times with no success. Recently we had an error on screen saying %%USE_I18N_STRING_ERROR%% and Verification Unsuccessful.
Would you be able to check the status of my application and if there is anything we need to do for verification?
Thank you for your time and help!

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 work on an app that has the com.apple.developer.mail-client entitlement. We're interested in trying out Xcode Cloud, and one of the project and workspace requirements is to use automatic code signing. We do not do this at the moment because it's not compatible with the additional entitlement.
My understanding is that we can migrate to automatic code signing if we migrate the additional entitlement to a capability and that to accomplish this our account holder needs to submit a request (see the last section of that page).
We submitted the request a little over 3 weeks ago, but so far we haven't heard any updates. We also tried reaching out directly to the email address linked in the com.apple.developer.mail-client docs, but have not heard back.
We're now posting here to see if anyone can provide some guidance on whether there are other steps to complete or contacts to whom we should reach out. Thanks!
So basically Apple suspended my developer account for no reason, I just had a lot of purchases from my game, then Apple sent me an email saying they are investigating my account, and finally they suspended my account, I don't know why, so can anyone help me?

I think from January 2025 I'm trying to become a developer for apple. The process was an adventure.
First time I used the website to become a registered developer. All good until i wasn't able to make any inputs in a disabled required field that was required but empty.
I said ok, I'll try to use their support to guide me. After couple of mails I've understood that those answers were like: "sorry for inconvenience but try again maybe you didn't do something as expected". I've restarted the process many times and did tried, nothing worked. So... go back to email with support (note, there is no quick reply, sometimes it takes near a week or so to respond: and the response is "try again, sorry to hear that, let us know if we can help you")
After a month or so i got an email that told me to use the application to enroll. So I decided to use it. So I've canceled my active enroll and moved to the device. My iPad Pro didn't worked, so I moved to MacBook Pro and tried from there with the Developer App. Didn't work....
Go back to email support.
After a while they told me that is an issue with my card and they can't get my money from it, (is the same that I'm using on their store to buy app and it works without any issue).
After another months spent on emails (copule because of their response timing, maximum 2 reply each week) and after I said I'll do my best to find someone from their management to let them know the nightmare that I'm forced to live with the support team, they said let me call you. They called me and their tool for remote view desktop didn't worked so it was like, do this, do that, I did, I did, I tried...ok let's try one more time and don't touch anything after.
I did what they said and they told me that I'll be contacted soon. 2-3 days I waited for the call and...nothing... I did sent reply email support to understand the status of enrollment.
I got this:
"
Thanks for your message. I will be happy to provide a status update.
Your orders have not been successful. I am trying once again today.
Since it is Friday, it will take a little longer to process.
I will check on it again on Monday, when we are back in the office.
Kind regards,
"
And today is Tuesday and nothing...
I did asked also if you can't take my money just let me know the error that you receive so I'll be able to contact card issuer and ask to verify if that is an issue with it. I did asked and they told me they don't see any issue.
Now I'm stuck,,,,
Do I need to contact Tim just to open a developer account? I think he's busy with more important stuff.

Specifically 2 weeks now I try to contact someone from Apple side but with no luck. Recently I received the following and I had a small conversation from them.

Did I do something wrong from my side? Does anyone has the same issue?
Hey everyone,
I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as a company (LLC), and I’m the sole owner and CEO.
I uploaded all the documents required, but when I try to re-upload the missing one using their upload link, I get this error message:
“Sorry, you don’t have access. Your account isn’t authorized to upload files.”
Has anyone faced this before? Is there a fix or do I need to contact Apple directly?
Also, they’re asking for a business card or an employment verification letter — but I’m the owner and don’t have either.
How do you handle this if you’re the only person in the LLC? Do I just create a business card or write the verification letter myself?
Any help or advice would be much appreciated. 🙏
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone!
I’m trying to automate the Apple Pay setup in a CI/CD pipeline for a preproduction environment. Right now, we are generating manually the Apple Pay certificates for both the root domain and merchant ID through the Apple Developer Portal, then manually upload them to our preproduction servers. My idea is to be able to automate this process for this environment.
I’ve been digging through docs and forums but haven’t found any way to generate or renew these certificates automatically via an API or any other method. Does anyone know if Apple offers something like this? Or if not, what’s the best way to handle this in an automated workflow? I've been thinking about a web driver, but I'm not a big fan of this kind of solution.
Thanks a lot for any ideas or advice!

Hi everyone,
I made a mistake when submitting my first app and accidentally set my developer name as the app name instead of my business name. Now all my apps show the wrong developer name on the App Store.
Apple support said it can't be changed after the first app, but I've seen some posts mentioning people got it changed through support. Has anyone successfully changed their developer name after initial setup?
Is closing the account and starting fresh the only real option? Really don't want to lose my app's reviews and ratings.
Any experiences or advice would be appreciated!
Thanks

Hello Apple Developer Support Team,
I recently purchased an Apple Developer Program membership, but my account remains in “Pending” status and has not advanced to Active. Below are my details:
Program: Apple Developer Program (Individual)
Could you please:
Confirm that my payment was received successfully.
Identify any missing information or steps required on my side.
Advise on the expected timeline for activation.
Thank you for your help in resolving this issue. I appreciate your prompt assistance.
Best regards,
Hi ~
May I know how long did you get your VisionOS developer kit?
Thanks
Can someone please assist or advise on the next steps?
I recently applied for enrollment via the Apple Developer website and was approved. After making payment, I received an email from Apple Developer Support advising me to re-enroll using the Apple Developer app due to a card processing issue. They mentioned our application would be "fast-tracked" if submitted through the app.
However, since re-enrolling via the app, I haven’t received any updates from support. Whenever I request feedback, the only response I get is, "It’s still under review." It has now been almost two weeks, and our launch date is fast approaching. We’ve already submitted all the required information, but support has not been helpful despite multiple follow-ups.

Hello everyone,
I urgently need help with my Apple Developer account.
It has been over one month since I started the enrollment process, and I still cannot access my account. My app must be published before September, and this delay is causing serious impact on my work.
Every time I try to proceed, I get this error:

Please contact Apple Developer Program Support.

I have already contacted Apple Developer Program Support, but the issue is still unresolved. I am willing to provide any additional documents or payments immediately to get this fixed.
This is time-sensitive and business-critical — if any Apple staff or experienced developers have advice, please let me know how I can escalate or resolve this quickly.
Thank you in advance for any urgent help.

It seems like your enrollment has been stuck in processing for months without any updates from Apple. Despite repeatedly using the 'contact us' option, you haven't received any feedback.
Hi anybody else experiencing or have experienced issues to renew membership? My company's app is no longer available in the app store for the users to download and update. If someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated as I have reached out a few times to apple and after a few days the issue still exists, affecting my job and company operations.
Below are the issues we are facing if anybody knows how to solve it:
Account was deprecated
We managed to access the developer website, also the appstoreconnect website, but so far all apps are not yet available in the store.
Thank you for any help.

Hi!
I completed the enrollment for my company on April 22, 2024. And since then we have successfully placed our application in the Store and continue to work on it.
On March 27, 2025, I needed to renew my participation in the Apple Developer Program and I did it successfully - I received a confirmation letter from you. However, later I discovered that my order was canceled and now, when I go to developer.applе.com, I am offered to go through the enrollment procedure! I'm confused! It is not clear what to do in such a situation?!
I will be grateful for any help!
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.

Hello, In 2024 I received notice of Apple Developer Account termination (Team ID: FCKZLDS8EQ) (with no reason) and in 5 days I have sended the appeal. After 30+ days - my account was terminated. The notification said that I only have a month to file an appeal, I did it within 5 days, but neither during the month nor so far - I have not received a response. Also, after the appeal, I contacted support saying that there was no response to the appeal and still remained unanswered to these tickets: 102346160903 and 102349953096. I described everything in detail in that appeal. I have an Apple Developer membership since 2014 and this is some kind of misunderstanding, I have an old trusted developer account without any violations.

Hey everyone,
I'm facing a major issue. I enrolled in the Apple Developer program, but when I logged into the Developer app on my personal phone (which is linked to my personal Apple ID), the subscription got transferred to my personal account.
