Hey! I just wanted to inquire is it possible to have 2 separate accounts for my DBA names under one llc's developer account. For example if my 2 DBA names are Henry Foods and Henry Clothes and my LLC name is Parent Henry LLC , can I have 2 separate app store profiles for Henry Foods and Henry Clothes under the developer account of parent Henry ? (Those are just examples names)

Silent Push notifications - frequency permitted
Dear Apple support team, I have some questions for you about this topic: I'm designing an app that need to send a notification like a classic clock alarm timer to the user, let's say each and every 25 minutes of cellphone usage, ofc only if the device is being used. The thing is that when my app is put to background, then Apple will shut it down after 30-60secs. I was thinking to send a silent push notification to my app just so I can wake it up for an instant just so it can shoot a local notification, and then keep in the background totally inactive. That means I'll have to send to my app around 3 silent push notifications x hour. Do you think it is a problem for you? or it's ok to do that? Let me know your experience on this matters, Thanks a lot for your time, A.

unable to enroll in Apple Developer Program
I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I’m getting an error: "There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue. Please contact support." How can I complete my enrollment? When I try to contact support via Email, it necessary to select an organization. However, I have already joined two different organizations, but they are not mine. Without selecting an organization, I can't proceed. Does anyone know a solution for this? Thank you!

How to Add a Developer to My Apple Developer Account Without 2FA Issues?
Hi, I need to temporarily add a developer to my Apple Developer account so they can manage Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles and make necessary changes. However, when I add them as a team member through Users and Access, Apple requires them to verify their Apple ID using two-factor authentication (2FA). The problem is that due to regional restrictions, they are unable to receive the verification code, which prevents them from accessing the account. What I’ve Tried: I added the developer as a team member under Users and Access in the Apple Developer portal. They received the invitation email and accepted it. When they try to log in, Apple prompts them for 2FA verification, but they cannot complete it due to the restrictions. My Questions: Is there a way to allow my developer to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles without requiring them to verify their Apple ID via 2FA? Would creating a new Apple ID and adding it as a team member work as a workaround? Are there any alternative solutions to grant access without sharing my personal Apple ID credentials? I’d appreciate any advice or best practices on how to handle this. Thanks in advance.

Name transfer of web shopping mall-based apps (due to changes in business information), Apple login function and synchronization of existing membership information
Hello We would like to proceed with the transfer of ownership of the launched app based on the Cafe24 platform.(Web App) Last month, I inquired about how to transfer the Apple account login function together when transferring ownership and received a related manual. When I asked and inquired about help from several developers regarding that part, they all received different answers. Please review the answers below, and I would really appreciate it if you could guide me on how to proceed. Developer 1: Cafe24-based launch apps require a separate transfer of the login function. It does not affect if you do not delete the existing member data in the database, and you only need to activate the login function to the new developer account. Developer 2: Checking and analyzing existing servers and data - Transfer user data to Apple using Apple's Legacy User Identifier - Synchronize user data - Test and modify It has to proceed to the above four steps, and synchronization work is also required to maintain all of the existing user's data because all of the user's identification values change when the login function is transferred. Developer 3: It appears to be a task that needs to be stored in the server database by migrating from the user identifier created in the existing developer account to the user identifier to be used in the new developer account, which is not what the app is supposed to do, and it is recommended to find other experts. Thank you.

Error Adding Account to Visual Studio 2022
I'm trying to add an Enterprise Apple account with the username and password of my developer account, which has worked once before. Now its giving me the following error: "There was an error while trying to log in: No trusted devices or trusted phone numbers are configured for this account." which doesn't make sense because the 2-Factor Auth works when I login to the website. What am I missing? I think the only thing different is I'm using a different Macbook, but should that make a difference? Has anyone else had this error from Visual Studio?

My developer account has been closed
You closed my 5-year-old account without any question, without any violation of the rules. You haven't even bothered to respond in 2 months. I will seek my rights in every way and complain about you on all platforms. I have never violated anything so far. I am suing you, you have caused me a lot of damage in the last 2 months. I have made a lot of investments. You are a disgraceful, lousy company! I will never recommend Apple to anyone from now on! Rude, immoral company. You closed an account for no reason! You are doing this on purpose to pave the way for big companies. You are a vile and disgraceful company! No response for 2 months. Account closure without reason. I will announce you everywhere, see you in court

Apple Payment Approval Delays - No Response from Support
Hi everyone, I’m reaching out here because I’m honestly frustrated with Apple’s lack of response regarding my payment approval. It’s been over two weeks, and I’m still waiting for my payment to be processed. This is seriously impacting my workflow and financial planning. I’ve also opened two support tickets, but unfortunately, I haven’t received any meaningful response or updates. I’ve tried being patient, but it’s hard to stay optimistic when there’s no communication or timeline for resolution. Has anyone else faced similar issues recently? If so, how did you manage to get it resolved? I’d appreciate any tips or suggestions, as I’m unsure what else I can do to expedite this process. Thanks in advance for your help!

Apple Developer Program is not allowing me to enroll
Hey everyone, Five days ago, on Sunday, I bought an Apple Developer Program subscription for 99 euros. I used the Developer app on my device because the Developer website said, "Enroll in the program with the Apple Developer app," and I thought it would be better to use the app directly rather than the website. I purchased the subscription, the funds were released from my card, and I received a receipt. The site mentioned that I would be enrolled within 48 hours, and the Developer app stated that I would receive an email soon. Guess what? I didn't receive an email. Instead, I got a message in the Developer app saying, "Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account. Visit the Apple Developer site to enroll." What is happening? I just paid for a subscription using my iCloud email in the Developer app, my bank released the funds, I got a receipt, and yet I didn't get access? Well, okay—I went to the website, but instead of giving me an option to proceed with the previous subscription, they asked me to pay AGAIN. This time, it was 99 dollars. Since I'm in hurry, I paid again, assuming they will refund one of the charges—because how could one account have two same subscriptions? Strangely, for this second payment, I didn’t receive an email receipt, just a message saying that the order request would be processed soon. Now, the problem is that this second subscription isn’t even listed in my subscriptions—only the first one is. On top of that, I’m worried I won’t get access within 48 hours as promised, since I’ve seen other people waiting for months after paying. That’s not fair. I also saw that some people were asked to provide an ID to confirm their identity, but I was never asked for that. I'm not from the US, I’m of legal age, and I’ve been an Apple user for almost a year. Does anyone know what’s happening and how I can avoid getting scammed by Apple? It sounds weird, but it’s ridiculous that a premium company like Apple has these kinds of issues. I contacted support, but I haven’t received a response. Thanks in advance.

DUNS Name Update Delay – Can I Enroll with Old Name and Update Later?
Hello everyone, I recently purchased a company (AAA) and renamed it to BBB. While the name has been updated locally in the Czech DUNS database, I’ve been informed it could take 4–6 weeks for the new name to appear internationally. When I attempt to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, I still see the old company name (AAA). I’m worried about losing valuable time if I have to wait for the international DUNS update. Is there any way to proceed with the enrollment under the old name and then update it to the new name later once the global DUNS data is refreshed? Or is there a way to expedite the update process? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
