Confirm whether the distribution of this app violates the terms of service
This app was developed with NFC functionality enabled, and distribution was intended to utilize the iOS app by replacing the provisioning profile and certificate issued under a separate Apple Developer account. However, since NFC cannot be enabled under the separate Apple Developer account, it is now required that the iOS app can be used with the standalone ipa file. If we create our own provisioning profile and certificate to enable standalone operation of the ipa file, we need to confirm where this might conflict with Apple's licenses or policies.

Apple support unresponsive
I've been contacting Apple Developer support for over 3 weeks now regarding new agreement that is not visible anywhere in account and no option to accept it either. Submitted ticket twice but no response at all. All they have to say is "Thank you for contacting us. We’ve received your support request and will get back to you as soon as possible. Your case ID is 102320028158. If you have any additional information you’d like to provide or would like a status update on your case, please reply back to this email."

Can't renew, can't update contact info
I originally created my Apple Developer account when I was living in Canada (years ago). Now that I live in the U.S. I want to renew it, but I can't - because it thinks I'm still in Canada. When I go to change my contact information, I get a screen that says: "Unauthorized Your account can’t access this page. There may be certain requirements to view this content. If you’re a member of a developer program, make sure your Account Holder has agreed the latest license agreement." What do I do?

Authentication failed because the remote party sent a TLS alert: 'HandshakeFailure'
Around March 25th, the payment function of my app suddenly failed to successfully parse payment information, while the previous functions were normal. The normal logic is that we will send payment information to this address on Apple( https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt )We will receive a parsed file in JSON format. But this time we did get an error, which is as follows 2025-03-26 16:46:58.0064 (HttpHelper.cs:78) Exception ex: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception. ---> System. Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: Authentication failed because the remote party sent a TLS alert: 'HandshakeFailure'. We have tried many solutions and have not received any improvement. I would like to ask if you have recently upgraded something that has caused some old code to become unusable. Hope you can provide us with some solutions, thank you!

TLine::EnumerateCaretOffsets Error
Hello all. I am currently working on a bug that has recently grown due to the beta release of iOS 18.4. I am unable to reproduce the crash at the moment; however, given that the bug is mostly exclusive to 18.4, I was wondering if this is a known issue or one specific to my app? App crashes on the main thread with EXC_BREAKPOINT. Below is the truncated stack trace before the crash: 0x000000018fff6044 (CoreText + 0x00069044) TLine::EnumerateCaretOffsets(std::__1::function<void (double, long, bool, bool*)>) const 0x000000018fff5938 (CoreText + 0x00068938) TLine::EnumerateCaretOffsets(std::__1::function<void (double, long, bool, bool*)>) const 0x000000018fff478c (CoreText + 0x0006778c) TLine::CharIndexToOffsets(long) const 0x000000018fff4564 (CoreText + 0x00067564) CTLineGetOffsetForStringIndex ... [internal code] Aside: I wonder if this has anything to do with some visibly hidden unicode characters.

Apple Development Enrollment Payment
Hi, Yesterday I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program through the app (like the website said) and it seemed to work fine. I went through everything in the app and then I had to pay for the service, so I did. (the invoice says Apple Developer Program (Automatic Renewal): $96.99 + VAT). I can see this transaction on my bank statement as well. After finishing the the Developer app said "Wait for an email" or something similar for a day until now it says "Enrollment through the apple developer app is not available for this apple account". I found this odd so I logged in to my account in a browser (on a PC) to see what's up and there it still says if I click my name "Pending". The weird thing is that there is this banner that says "Purchase your membership." and a link to complete my purchase??? As if I did not purchase it yesterday. So in desperation I decided to see what's up and went through this process on my PC now and it took down my order and I got a prompt in the browser to wait 2 days (48 hours). Will I get charged twice? Also this time it prompted the price: $99.

We cant activate an Apple Developer Account
Hello, We are struggling with a case creating the accounts for a company from Serbia and Croatia. The specific issue we are facing with these two accounts is that the enrollment is accepted without any problems. However, it is worth noting that during the registration of the Serbian account, Apple requested personal documentation from the account holder. Once the documentation was provided, the enrollment was successfully completed. However, when it comes to making the subscription payment, the transaction does not process correctly. We have tried making the payment from different devices and using various payment methods, but in all cases, we have been unable to activate the account. We always consider Apple's 48-hour processing time for payments, but after that period, we receive no information—neither account activation nor payment rejection. When we contacted Apple Support to explain our case, the only solution they provided was to cancel the Apple Developer enrollment and start the entire process again. However, even after doing this, the client is still unable to activate their account. Hope that someone that faced the same issue can help with this as Apple support won't give us more information about which can be the problem. Thank you,

Apple Developer Enrollment Refuses to Take My Money (Payment Constantly Declined)
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?

Changing Developer Account type from Organization (Business) to Individual
I have just started the process of closing down my limited company and would like to change my Apple Developer ID account type from Business (Organization) to Individual to release my apps under my own name. I was planning on releasing software in the App Store under my limited company, but I encountered an issue (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759605) that has blocked the development for almost a year and Apple has never bothered to fix the issue. This has forced me to close down the company. I have decided I will be releasing the software as an open source project. All I want now is to be able to sign the software using my regular, personal Apple Account ID. However, my Apple Account is currently tied to my company's Organization Developer Account. It is registered as a business with business accounts, the App Store Connect agreements are signed by my company, and everything else on my Developer profile is tied to that company. I do not see the option to close down the company/business account. The only relevant post I found online was here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/702447 Unfortunately, people mention in the comments that the workaround does not actually work. I have tried reaching Developer Support but had no response via email, and I cannot schedule a call back via the Support page because I cannot verify my overseas phone number. Seems like I have a really tough luck with Apple Developer ecosystem... Has anyone ever managed to do this? Any help much appreciated!

It takes a long time to create a developer account as a company.
We registered as a developer company (NGO) more than 50 days ago and it's still under review. We've already sent the documents, we've confirmed by phone, and every time we contact them we receive no information. They just tell us it's under review and there's no deadline for when this review will be completed. On the same day we registered with Apple, we registered with Google and our app has been published on Google for more than 30 days. We have no support or answers. Could someone help us to at least know a deadline for this review?
