I’d like to ask a question regarding Apple Developer Program enrollment for an organization. I’m currently helping a Singapore-based company register an Apple Developer account. During the enrollment process, Apple requires identity verification for the Account Holder / contact person, including uploading a personal ID document. My situation is: The company entity is registered in Singapore The Account Holder / contact person is based in Mainland China A valid Mainland China ID card is available I have a friend who successfully completed a similar enrollment in 2024 using a Mainland China ID for identity verification. However, I’ve recently heard some mixed information suggesting this might no longer be supported, which has caused some confusion. I’d like to ask if anyone has recent experience (success or failure), or can confirm whether it is currently acceptable to use a Mainland China ID for Account Holder verification when enrolling a Singapore organization. Any insights or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've paid the amount and the amounts deducted from my account , and its been 5 days , but still my developer account is not verified , how to deal with this .

Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on Tuesday evening, Jan 30th, 2025. The payment has already been successfully charged to my bank account, but my account is still showing “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership.” It has been several days now, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional verification. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support via email, but I wanted to check here as well. Has anyone else faced this issue recently? How long did it take for your membership to become active? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I’m enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual and working with a freelance iOS developer. The developer is telling me that on an Individual account, they cannot create or manage signing certificates or provisioning profiles unless I either share my Apple ID credentials or export and share a P12 certificate. My understanding is that with App Store Connect Admin access and Xcode managed signing, a third party developer can build, sign, upload builds, manage TestFlight, and submit apps using their own Apple ID without credential or private key sharing. Can anyone confirm the current recommended Apple workflow for this scenario? Is there any functional requirement to enroll as an Organization in order to avoid sharing Apple ID credentials or P12 certificates? Thanks in advance.

I registered a developer corporate account and completed the payment on January 2. However, up to today, the status has not changed and still shows the message: “We’re processing your registration request. Your registration ID is ***.” I understand that the review process usually takes about 1–2 weeks. In this situation, is there any recommended way to move to the next step more quickly?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some insight or advice regarding the timeline for migrating from an Individual to an Organizational developer account. My request was initiated on January 11th, making it over three weeks now. The last communication I received from the support team was on January 24th (8 days ago). Despite sending follow-up inquiries to check on the status or if additional documentation is required, I haven’t received any updates since then. Has anyone else experienced similar delays recently? Is there a specific channel or method to escalate this beyond the standard follow-up emails?

Hi everyone, I’m seeking advice on an enrollment loop I’ve been stuck in for my Apple Developer Program account. I am based in Uruguay, and I’ve encountered a series of technical hurdles that Apple Support emails haven't been able to resolve. The Issue: Web Portal: When I log in to the portal, I see the message: "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program is under review. Please contact us." Apple Developer App: Support suggested using the app to finish enrollment, but the "Enroll Now" button is grayed out/disabled. It explicitly tells me to continue enrollment via the website, creating a circular dependency. Payment Failure: During my initial attempt, I noticed I was never asked for my card's CVV. Consequently, no charge was ever made to my bank, but the system seems to think a transaction is pending or "Under Review." The Barrier: As a user in Uruguay, I do not have a direct "Phone" option for support in my region—only email. The email responses I receive are automated or generic, telling me to either use the app (which is disabled) or call them (which isn't an option for my country). Has anyone from faced this "Under Review" stalemate? Is there a specific way to force the payment details to refresh or a known workaround for the disabled button in the app? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, On Jan 23 I purchased the Apple Developer Program membership via the Apple Developer app on iPhone. The payment went through successfully and I received the confirmation email and invoice. However, when I sign in to developer.apple.com, my account still shows “Pending” and redirects me to “Purchase your membership / Complete your purchase”, asking me to pay again. My Apple ID subscriptions page shows the Developer membership as active (with an end date), but: Developer portal: Pending, prompts to purchase again Apple Developer app (Account screen): still shows Enroll Now / membership not active The web flow displays an Enrollment ID (I can share masked) What I’ve tried: Confirmed I’m using the same Apple ID everywhere Signed out, cleared cookies, tried private/incognito browser Waited well beyond 48 hours (it’s been ~1 week) I do not want to pay twice. This looks like a duplicate/unfinished enrollment or the paid membership not being properly attached/activated for my Apple ID. Has anyone experienced this and found a workaround? Any advice on the fastest way to get Apple to attach/activate the paid membership and close the pending enrollment? Thanks.

I’m calling the Apple Music API server-to-server using a developer token (ES256) created under my Developer account. Storefront probe succeeds: GET /v1/storefronts/us -> HTTP 200 All catalog endpoints return 500 (search, artists, charts) across multiple storefronts: GET /v1/catalog/us/search?term=rema&types=artists&limit=1 -> HTTP 500 GET /v1/catalog/us/artists/1359441424 -> HTTP 500 GET /v1/catalog/us/charts?types=songs&chart=most-played&genre=0&limit=5 -> HTTP 500 GET /v1/catalog/gb/... same results (500) I created the Media Services key ~48–72 hours ago. Media Services is enabled and associated with my Media ID. Developer token uses alg ES256, kid=<KEY_ID>, iss=<TEAM_ID>, exp ~6 months. Clock is NTP-synced. Sample request (curl) and recent response headers: curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer " "https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/us/search?term=rema&types=artists&limit=1" Response (truncated): HTTP/2 500 x-apple-jingle-correlation-key: NBZFUP7RVJBZOWVPIBVGUFMBLI x-apple-application-site: st x-daiquiri-instance: daiquiri:42282005:st53p00it-... Date: 2025-10-13T16:54:22Z This occurs consistently from different networks and with different storefronts. The same token returns 200 for /v1/storefronts/us. Please advise or route to engineering. Happy to provide full JWT header/payload (minus signature) and full response logs.

Hello everyone, I’m hoping to get some guidance or hear from others who may have experienced something similar. I registered for the Apple Developer Program as a company on January 2nd, 2026 Since completing the registration, I haven’t received any updates, feedback, or requests for additional information. The application still appears to be pending, and I’m unsure if this delay is within the normal timeframe or if there’s something I may have missed. I understand that company verification can take longer than individual enrollments, but I would appreciate any insight into: Typical review timelines for company enrollments Whether there’s a recommended way to follow up with Apple Developer Support Any steps I can take to help move the process forward Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience or advice. Best regards, Curlback

Hey guysI’ve been trying to pay for Apple Developer Program enrollment for about a week and still no luck. As well as I got from a small talk with the customer support – Apple never got my money. So it seems like my payment authorization fails all the time. But I don’t know what’s really going on.Have any of you ever had issues like that?Or maybe you just know what’s going on and how to fix it?

Hello, We are currently using the App Store Server API - Get Transaction History endpoint to check whether consumable in-app purchase orders are completed. (https://api.storekit.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/history/) Recently, we’ve been seeing some cases where consumable purchases appear in the transaction history as completed orders, even though they were already fully processed and delivered to the user. This behavior seems to be a possible issue or bug in the App Store Server API. We would like to understand why this happens. Is there any known situation where consumable purchases reappear as completed orders in the transaction history after fulfillment? What is the most reliable method or best practice to confirm the completion status of consumable purchases to prevent re-processing? We would appreciate any insights or experiences from other developers who have encountered a similar issue. Thank you.

Hello, I am seeking guidance on a prolonged and unresolved Apple Developer Program enrollment issue. I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual and submitted a request to migrate the account to an organization Thriveage on Monday, January 15, 2026. After follow-ups, I was informed that additional documents were required to link my individual and company accounts. I submitted all requested documents within 30 minutes of receiving that communication. Since then, the enrollment status has remained in “Processing” with no updates. I have been informed that no timeline can be provided for completion. Despite contacting Apple Developer Support 3–4 times over several days, I have received no meaningful response or status update. At this point: It has been over 15 days since enrollment, and More than 3 business days have passed since the last support communication. There have been: No further requests for documentation No explanation for the delay This unresolved delay is now blocking our ability to publish applications and meet active business commitments. I would appreciate clarity on the following: Is this delay within normal processing timelines? Is there a formal escalation path for enrollment cases that remain in “Processing” without updates? Should I expect a phone verification call, or is there a specific action I should proactively take to move this forward? I am requesting a clear update or direction from Apple Developer Support on how this case can be resolved. Any assistance from Apple staff or developers who have faced and resolved similar issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and my membership status has been “Pending” for over a week. Is 7+ days “Pending” normal right now, or does it usually indicate an identity/business verification hold?

Hi, I requested a callback for Developer support as I was trying to set up a new Apple Developer account for my employer. As this was a new business for Apple, looking to create an Apple Developer Premium account, I thought Apple might be even slightly interested in helping answer some key questions. I requested a callback. The page claimed they would be 'calling shortly'. No call came. So, I requested another callback... The page again claimed they would be 'calling shortly'. Yet again, no call came. Later, I requested yet another callback... The page again claimed they would be 'calling shortly'. As is the norm, no call came. I called Apple support main telephone number, and they explained that this was a failing of their system on their part, hurrah... that was correct. But they told me they could not deal with my issue as it was a developer support issue. I already have a developer account anyway, so really they should be supporting me, I already PAY them! So normal support could only help in so far as they were able to tell me what I already know, the Apple developer support system does not work. The thing is, nobody at Apple actually cares about this. They don't really care about anything, as is clear by the lack of means to escalate issues. So, I sent an email instead, through their website form. I received no response. The next day, I requested another callback, no call came. I sent another email, and got no response. It is totally exasperating that Apple have no functional complaints system at all, and is damning of the origination. It is perfectly clear that they regard users, and customers, with abject contempt. Now I am going to have to write a snail mail letter to their CEO in the USA in the hope that they given more of a damn than those they preside over.

I'm trying to enroll in Apple Developer and I continuously getting a "Payment Declined" message despite trying 4 credit cards, a debit card and even my apple card. When I try this through the developer app the "Enroll Now" button is greyed out. It's not a bank issue I've already checked and they don't see any requests coming through. I’ve tried multiple times with no luck. Contacted Apple support and they are extremely slow with the responses with very little help. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this?

Hi, My payment has been pending since early January to join the developer program in spite of the mention that it should be processed in a couple business days. This is preventing me from moving forward with my app. I see several similar issues on the Forum but no answer to my issue. Any thoughts on how to speed up this process? Any help would be much appreciated!
