Individual to Organization migration stuck since early April and blocking release
I’m looking for guidance on an unresolved Apple Developer Program membership migration. My account is being converted from an individual membership to an organization membership. I have already provided all requested documentation to Apple Developer Support and opened a new case, but the migration remains unresolved. Today I have been on hold for nearly 2 hours. This has blocked our release since April because the account is effectively unable to proceed while the migration is pending. Details: • Migration type: Individual to Organization • Status: still pending • Business impact: production release blocked since April • Documentation already provided: legal entity documentation, D-U-N-S information, and requested verification materials I am not posting private documents here. I’m trying to understand whether there is any additional escalation path or whether Apple staff can confirm the correct team is handling this migration. Has anyone had success getting this unstuck, and is there any Apple process beyond the normal support case flow?

My Apple Developer Program enrollment payment
Hello Apple Developer Support, My Apple Developer Program enrollment payment was completed on [2026-04-19], but approval has not been granted within the expected 48-hour window. This delay is blocking my development and release schedule, so I'd like to request a status review as soon as possible. Could you please: Confirm the current status of my enrollment Let me know if any additional verification is needed on my side Provide an estimated approval timeline registration ID: YC64M86BF2 If there is anything I can do to expedite the process, please let me know and I will respond immediately. Thank you. Best regards,

Apple Developer membership expired - no renewal option, enrol loop
My Apple Developer Program membership expired on 15 April. I've been unable to renew through any of the standard routes: The account page at developer.apple.com shows no renewal option, just the expiry notice The Developer app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac shows no Renew button Going to the enrol page returns: "Sorry, you can't enrol at this time. Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership." So the account is expired but still flagged as having an active membership, meaning neither the renewal nor the re-enrol path works. I've raised a support ticket (Friday 18 April), attempted three phone calls with no success, and the callback system is now returning an error when I try to book a slot. Has anyone experienced this and found a resolution? I believe this needs a backend fix on Apple's side but I can't get through to anyone who can action it. Any advice appreciated, particularly if an Apple staff member is able to assist or escalate.

Developer Program Approval
I paid for a developer account on Thursday 16th. Money was taken immediately. I’ve had ZERO communication. No emails, no messages. Nothing My account says ‘pending’ still after 5 days of waiting. Support is seemingly non-existent. Asked for a callback support request. They called and I was on hold for 90 minutes until eventually I had to go do something else. Is the level of service I should expect? What else is it that I should I be doing in order to get something in return for paying money?

Paid for Apple Developer Program membership, but it hasn't renewed.
I renewed my membership today, April 20, 2026, which had previously expired on November 5, 2025. The payment of KRW 129,000 was successfully processed, and the credit card transaction has been approved. However, my account still shows the message "Your Apple Developer Program membership has expired," and the renewal has not been applied. I have tried various troubleshooting steps, including logging out and back in, and clearing my browser cache, but the issue persists. Could you please look into this and apply the renewal to my account?

Enrollment still PENDING after 4 days
I purchased my Apple Developer program on April 16, 2026. It’s been 4 days now, and my status is still stuck on "Pending." What’s worse is that the system is now prompting me to make the payment again. I know many of us are experiencing this exact same issue right now. I am from Thailand, so I decided to make a phone call to the Apple Developer support team to get this sorted out. They told me that due to a massive volume of requests, it might take a very long time to approve. They promised to "expedite" my process, but completely failed to provide any specific timeframe or even an estimated date of approval. Honestly, it felt like the support agent was just reading from a script to calm me down without actually offering any real help—they didn't even ask for my Order Number to check my case! Based on how this is being handled, I strongly believe that anyone reading this who is stuck in the same situation might have to endure this problem for months. Has anyone actually gotten their account approved recently?

Unable to Create Apple Account for Developer Organization Enrollment (‘Your account cannot be created at this time’)
Hi! I'm a first-time app founder trying to enroll my business in the Apple Developer Program as an Organization. I already have a personal Apple ID, so I'm trying to create a separate, brand new Apple Account using my business email for the enrollment. Every time I complete the account creation form and go through the verification code step, I get the error: 'Your account cannot be created at this time.' Things I've already tried: Personal cell phone number for verification A Google Voice number for verification Different browsers The Apple Developer app Different WiFi networks I only have one iPhone and one cell number, both already tied to my personal Apple ID. My D&B DUNS number is confirmed, the only blocker is creating this new Apple Account. Is there a known solution for this? It seems like it must be a common situation for small business owners who use one device for both personal and business. Any help appreciated!

Developer Program enrollment still pending after payment
Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on April 12th, 2026. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” I think the reason my account is still stuck is because I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program using one Apple ID and completed the payment using a different Apple ID (the subscription is currently active under this account) It’s now been several days, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information. I already contacted Apple Support by email, but I’d like to know if other developers have experienced the same situation and how long it took before their account was activated. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback!

Help: Unable to update my apps because of Apple Developer License Agreement
I am unable to update my apps because of Apple Developer License Agreement. I am told that I have to agree, yet I have agreed to every agreement available. When I log in my Developer Account there is no pending agreement either for free apps or Paid apps. The most recent one I agreed on April 6, 2026. I have logged out and in again multiple times. I tried to change the Account Holder to see if I get to agree on the agreement again but that did not help either. I have remained stuck and can't update any one of my apps since I get the error: "The Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been updated and needs to be reviewed. For more information, go to your account on the Apple Developer website." I have tried to reach out to Apple Support but no help was given. Can anyone please help? Much appreciated.

iOS Local Network Discovery (UDP Multicast / SSDP) Not Working – Works on AndroidiOS Local Network Discovery (UDP Multicast / SSDP) Not Working – Works on Android
Title: iOS Local Network Discovery (UDP Multicast / SSDP) Not Working – Works on Android Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with local network device discovery on iOS. The same implementation works perfectly on Android, but fails (or behaves inconsistently) on iOS. What I’m trying to do I am building a React Native app that discovers Wi-Fi audio devices (Arylic / Linkplay-based speakers) on the same local network. The discovery flow: Send SSDP (UDP multicast) M-SEARCH request to 239.255.255.250:1900 Listen for device responses Fetch device description via HTTP (LOCATION header) Parse and store discovered devices What works ✅ Android: Device discovery works reliably (multiple devices detected) ❌ iOS: No devices are discovered (or discovery is very inconsistent) iOS Configuration I have already added the required permissions in Info.plist: NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription NSBonjourServices (including _http._tcp, _airplay._tcp, _spotify-connect._tcp, etc.) NSAppTransportSecurity with local network exceptions The app correctly prompts for Local Network permission, and permission is granted. Implementation Details Using UDP sockets (react-native-udp) Joining multicast group: 239.255.255.250 Sending SSDP M-SEARCH requests every few seconds Listening for responses via socket on('message') Observed Behavior on iOS UDP socket initializes successfully No errors thrown No SSDP responses received devices array remains empty HTTP-based direct calls to known device IPs work fine Additional Notes The same network, same devices, same code works on Android iOS device is on the same Wi-Fi network Tried both real device and simulator (expected simulator limitations) Questions Is UDP multicast (SSDP) restricted or unreliable on iOS for third-party apps? Are there additional entitlements required to receive multicast responses? Is there any official Apple-recommended approach for discovering LAN devices (other than Bonjour)? Is this a known limitation of iOS networking stack? As a fallback, I’m considering scanning the local subnet via HTTP requests, but that’s less efficient compared to SSDP. Any guidance or clarification from Apple engineers or others who have faced similar issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Enrollment stuck after payment - 3 days, still showing "Purchase your membership"
I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on April 15th and the $99 payment was successfully charged to my card (confirmed completed in my bank, not pending). However, 3 days later my account at developer.apple.com/account still shows the "Purchase your membership" banner asking me to pay again. Apple's own page says "Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process" but it has been well past that. When I try to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get this error: "Unable to find a team with the given Team ID S3v98Z34Dh to which you belong. Please contact Apple Developer Program Support." I already submitted a support case via the "Send us a message" form under Membership and Account > Program Purchase and Renewal, but haven't received any response yet. Has anyone experienced this? Is there another way to escalate this or get it resolved faster? I need the account for Sign in with Apple integration and I'm blocked on this. Thanks for any help.

Error adding user to developer organization
I'm trying to add a co-worker to our company's developer account. They got the invitation email and clicked the link, got the email verification code and entered that, and then got the phone number verification code via SMS. When they enter the phone number verification code, they get an error: "Your account cannot be created at this time." Also, I tried to go to developer.apple.com/contact to reach out to support, but it seems that page is broken with a JS error. Any ideas??

Loss of ownership rights after account is locked for a period of time.
I have an Apple account that was locked last September. I recently managed to log back in and renewed it, but I need to accept Apple's new policy. I've realized I've lost ownership, so I can't accept the new policy. What should I do now? I've emailed Apple and haven't received a reply for three weeks.
