Cannot access my developer account because of 'Too many verification codes have been sent. Enter the last code you received or try again later.'
I have been trying to get into my account for several days now and I have tried everything. First of you cannot get support because you need to be logged in so had to make another account to be able to post this. And even then the support is not working. Send an email a while ago and tried the call option and I have gotten no response from both. I was supposed to launch my app last week and I have just not be able to log into my account. I keep getting the 'Too many verification codes have been sent. Enter the last code you received or try again later.' I didn't even do that, I just tried to log in and had that there. I have waited days and it's still there. I have tried changing the number for which I waited a day and now it's told me to wait another 6 days. This has caused so many problem and the lack of support is unbelievable. Can anyone please help me get into my account or advise on what I can do ASAP. Thanks, Usama

Apple Support are you even here?
I’m creating a new post because the situation has gone far beyond reasonable. My Apple Developer Program enrollment has been stuck in “Pending” status for almost a month. During this time, I have sent around 10 emails to Apple Developer Program Support. Result: ZERO REPLISES. NO EXPLANATIONS NO UPDATES. NO HELP. If you are experiencing the same issue — or have faced it before — please leave a comment or upvote this thread so it gets visibility. At this point, this seems to be the only way to get Apple’s attention. Apple, this situation needs to be addressed.

Join WWDC in Apple Park
Thank you very much for choosing me to go to Apple Park to participate in WWDC. I am looking forward to participating in this event. May I ask you some questions? I am a young Apple Developer Program from China. And I am the winner of the Swift Student Challenge in 2024. I am over 13 years old. I used my own Developer account, not my parents', to apply for WWDC activities and all the events I carry out. Since I am under 18 years old, my parents may need to sign the Special Event Parental Permission Statement. Where can I find it? My parents will sign it. At the same time, I noticed that the bottom of the RSVP form requires me to guarantee that I am at least 18 years old, but I am not. And I used my own account to apply for WWDC, so I want to know how to meet this need? I need a non-immigrant visa to go to the United States. So, I need to prove to the visa officer that I have received an invitation from Apple. Could Apple send me a formal invitation letter to prove that I have received an invitation from Apple? At the same time, as a teenager, I need to go to the United States with my mother, so can you mention the information of my guardian (my mother) in the invitation letter? Ps: I am very independent. I am well aware that the number of people in WWDC is limited. My mother will not enter the venue unless otherwise required.

Apple: The Tech Giant Crushing Developers with "Technical Incompetence" and Silent Support
While Apple prides itself on providing the ultimate experience for both users and developers, many find themselves trapped in a technical "black hole" with no exit. The issue isn't just the complexity of the systems, but the sheer inability of these systems to handle a developer’s most basic need: accessing their account to manage their business. The Dead-End Loop: "Too Many Verification Codes" The disaster begins with a seemingly harmless but business-destroying message: "You have sent too many verification codes. Please try again later." At this point, Apple’s system—with its supposed "intelligence"—decides to freeze your account for two days or more. You wait patiently, return after 48 hours to log in, only to be met by the exact same message. This isn’t "security"; it’s primitive technical failure. How can a company of Apple’s magnitude fail to program a smart system that distinguishes between a breach attempt and a developer trying to access their work tools? Persistent failure for over a month without a root solution raises serious questions about the software infrastructure of this giant. Customer Support: Total Absence and Disregard for Time The greatest agony lies in the "Non-Response." You email technical support, and the answer either arrives a month later—long after the damage is done—or never arrives at all. In the business world, every second translates to money and reputation, but in Apple’s dictionary, it seems a developer’s time has no value. It is ironic that a trillion-dollar company fails to provide a human support agent who can, with a single click, verify a developer's identity and bypass a stuck OTP. This blatant lack of effective human support is the pinnacle of negligence toward the developer community—the very backbone of their App Store. Paralyzed Apps and Users Left Stranded Behind this "technical incompetence" lies a painful reality: an app with technical bugs requiring urgent fixes, thousands of users waiting for an update that never comes, and business operations completely halted. The developer stands handcuffed, unable to push a single update because the "fortress gates" are locked due to a glitch in sending a text message! How has Apple managed to reach this size while operating with such technical bureaucracy? The answer may lie in its market monopoly, which has made it indifferent to the collateral damage inflicted on startups by its software errors and the absence of its support staff. Final Word What is happening is not just a passing technical glitch; it is an "administrative catastrophe" wrapped in technology. Apple must realize that its continued success depends not just on selling devices, but on respecting the minds and time of the developers who build its ecosystem. We aren’t asking for miracles; we are simply asking for a login system that works and human beings who respond to emails before it’s too late.

Need help updating contact information in Apple Developer Program enrollment
Hello, I recently submitted an enrollment request for the Apple Developer Program as an organization. After submitting the request, I realized that I entered incorrect contact information for the person authorized to confirm my authority to enroll the organization. I would like to update the email address for this contact. I already contacted Apple Developer Support by email but have not received a response yet. Is there a way to update this information while the enrollment is still under review? Or should I cancel the request and submit a new one? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Apple Developer Program enrollment stuck on "Pending" for a week
Hi, I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual. I attempted the payment several times, but the system says the purchase is already in the system. Under my profile the status shows “Pending”, and the payment has still not been charged from my bank account. It has been about one week since I started the enrollment, and the status hasn’t changed. I also contacted Apple Developer Support, but it has been 4 days and I haven’t received any response yet. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced a similar delay during enrollment? Thanks.

Issues creating my Apple Account for the Developer Program because of email
I just started at a new company and I've been invited to access their Apple Developer Program. When I click the invite in the link I'm directed to a "Create Your Apple Account" page where I'm prompted to provide my email address. When I put my work email I receive an error saying that my Apple Account cannot end in the domain and to choose a different email address. When I try to use my personal Gmail, it says my email address is not available and to choose a different address. Even my iCloud email isn't allowed. I'm not sure what else to do to gain access.

New developer program membership application stuck in review for more than a month now
I have a new startup in Delaware of US. I created a new apple account with my company email and i applied for the developer membership as a company. My Enrollment Id is 5XVYK3UJL8 . I applied in early february and after it was stuck for 5 days, i contacted customer care. I was told that I did not have a company website and the link had a placeholder page so they withdrew my application. Then I created a company website and submitted another application. This was around 8th of February and we are still stuck in review. I have contacted apple customer care about 8 times and everytime they ask me to upload information about myself such as my employee badge ID, or employment letter, etc - since im the sole director of my new startup, I do not have any of these but I gave them my company incorporation documents which has my name, and my passport (Im not a US citizen). Now when Im contacting customer care, im not even getting a response. My whole team is frustrated and in the dark. And I do not know what to do. A lot of riding on our team being able to run beta tests using testflight but we have no help from apple. Can someone guide me here?

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Stuck for Over 2 Weeks
Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and placed the $99 order. Shortly after, I received the email saying: “Thank you for your order. Your order request will be processed within 2 business days.” However, it has now been over two weeks and my membership has still not been activated. I also contacted Apple Developer Support about a week ago through the contact form, but unfortunately I have not received any reply so far. When I visit developer.apple.com, I still see the page prompting me to complete or place the order, even though I already placed it and received the confirmation email. Could someone from Apple please check the status of my enrollment or advise what I should do next? Thank you.

Long Delay in Apple Developer Program Enrollment Review
My Apple Developer Program Enrollment has been under review for over 6 weeks, and it is inside of the United States. Initially, I was informed that the Apple team would review the application and get back to us in 2 business days. However, I have not received any updates or resolutions since that initial communication. I have reached out to Apple Developer Support many times, and they told me that they cannot provide any updates and advised me to "simply wait." This delay is causing significant disruptions to our development timeline and impacting our business operations. Any idea of what I can do? I would greatly appreciate any insights from the community on how to address this situation effectively. Thank you so much!
