Looking for advice: I've been automatically rejected from Apple's Developer Program without an explanation.
Hi everyone,
It seems I’ve hit a brick wall, so I’m reaching out to see if anyone here has experienced something similar to this or has any advice or resources to share.
I recently attempted to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but my application was immediately denied after submission. Within one second of submitting my driver’s license, the app stated that Apple was unable to verify my identity and that I needed to reach out to Developer Support for further assistance.
When I first contacted Developer Support for clarification, the representative was happy to help. After being taken off hold, she said she couldn't offer any more information, but assured me that I'd later receive an email with further details related to my account and next steps. However, instead of steps to resolve the issue, I received a denial email repeating the same message about being unable to verify my identity (screenshot attached).
I’ve since spoken to multiple representatives and supervisors, and, while everyone was initially polite and understanding, it changed after I was taken off hold.
Here’s what I’ve been told:
The decision is final, and there is no possibility of escalation or appeal.
The supervisors themselves, despite being the final decision makers, have no access to the specific reason for applicants’ denial and, thus, could not provide any additional details.
I was also invited to join Apple's “Xcode program,” which I found out just means they’ll allow me to buy Xcode from the app store and use it without a developer account (I already do that).
Every time a support representative reread the sentence about being “unable to verify [my] identity,” I responded by offering to provide additional forms of identification. However, that offer was never addressed.
The last senior advisor I spoke with stated to me over the phone that:
She was the highest authority on the matter.
There was absolutely no way to escalate the issue further; it was 100% impossible.
She physically did not have access to the reason for my denial.
Neither she nor anyone else at Apple was able to offer further assistance.
I asked this senior advisor to send me an email with the above points in writing, which she said she would do. However, the email I received was a virtual copy-paste of the email from the first support representative, stating the same few sentences verbatim.
This has left me deeply confused, especially as no specific reason for denial has been shared, and since I was explicitly denied any opportunity to address (or even get information on) potential issues.
I’d like to ask this community:
Has anyone else experienced this sort of immediate rejection and/or a refusal to disclose the reason for that rejection?
Are there specific guidelines or policies I may have unknowingly violated that I should review? If so, what could be the reason why they’re being withheld from me?
Are there any resources or alternative channels I can explore to resolve this issue?
I’m so thoroughly confused, and I’m genuinely at a loss with how to move forward. I appreciate any insight or guidance from this community.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read!
Best regards,
David
I tried already twice to enroll to the developer program and I'm stuck again at the same point after receiving an email from Apple program stating:
"Please note that we still need the documentation we requested two weeks ago in an email titled “Request for Enrollment Documents”."
Except I've never received such an email and I don't know which documents I should upload. I tried to contact by mail or phone the assistance but I never managed to succeed in having a response.
Thanks
I've got a weird issue where Passkey fails, but only on developer.apple.com.
Here's how it manifests:
On portal, select "Sign In With Passkey"
Get prompted with TouchId (on my MacBook)
Portal says "can't verify your account"
However:
Sign in with Password works fine
Sign in with Passkey on any other website works fine
Not sure if it's related, but this appears to have happened around the time I had my logic board replaced. I did have weird issues with my iCloud account where I had to sign out of all devices, then sign back in. I assume this has to do with the hardware having the same serial number, but somehow appeared like a different computer in other ways.
Things I've tried:
In Passwords app, searching for "apple.com", I only see passwords, no passkeys. However, Safari password auto-fill always suggests the passkey entry first.
developer.apple.com does not appear to have any way of managing sign-in credentials
accounts.apple.com does not appear to be any way to manage passkeys.
Sign in with Passkey on iPhone also results in "can't verify your account".
Called AppleCare support, they were unable to help. Since Passkeys work for other websites, they believe this is a problem specifically with developer.apple.com. They suggested calling Developer support.
Called Developer support, they were unable to help. They said AppleCare Support is best suited.
Filled out Feedback (FB18185623)
System:
macOS 15.6
Safari 18.6
Has anyone else encountered anything weird like this? Is there any way to fix this? It would be nice if I could just delete the old passkey and create a new one. But I can't find any tool that will let me do that.

I enrolled for the Apple Developer Program on 19 June 2025 for my company. I was then requested to upload the necessary supporting documentation to proceed with the approval process which was done on the same day (19 June) with the case ID 102634582811. I have followed up with Apple nearly weekly since then and still have no concrete feedback or resolution to the status of my enrollment and what remediation is required if any.
I have done some research and approval for the Developer Program takes 3 weeks at most from what I have heard and read. Its been over two months and I feel as though the responses I am receiving are automated without any human intervention or review into my case. This has been a frustrating process which is drastically impacting business productivity as our ability to have access to the developer portal mean we cannot build and distribute our app to users.
I really hope this post can help provide some direction and at most a resolution

I'm successfully creating the AAR file on my system:
Manifest file:
{
"assetPackID": "my-ba",
"downloadPolicy": {
"essential": {
"installationEventTypes": [
"firstInstallation",
"subsequentUpdate"
]
}
},
"fileSelectors": [
{
"file": "file1.bin"
},
{
"file": "file2.bin"
}
],
"platforms": [
"iOS"
]
}
Command:
xcrun /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/ba-package my-ba.json -o my-ba.aar
I'm using Transporter on my Sequoia 15.6 system - when I'm uploading the AAR file, I'm getting the following error:
ITMS-91140: Invalid manifest file. Invalid manifest file. Your asset pack’s manifest file can’t be verified. Make sure it follows the manifest template, then upload again.
Full Debug Log:

Why does it take 24 to 72 hours after registering a device on Apple Developer Account before it can be used for development and ad hoc distribution? Is there a way to update and process this information immediately?

This is probably a long shot,
is it possible to develop an IOS app for my personal use only without having to go through the App Store and install it onto my personal ios device?
I’m not interested in selling an app yet, but I would like to create my own apps for my own use.
The only thing I dislike iOS for is that I can’t write programs for myself and use them on my device!
Cheers,
Peter

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I keep getting stuck in a frustrating loop.
After logging in, I’m asked to agree to the Apple Developer Agreement. I accept the terms, but then it redirects me to an error page that says:
“You’ve already agreed to the Apple Developer Agreement. Continue to your account or sign out.”
When I click “Continue to your account,” it just brings me back to the same agreement page—and the cycle repeats endlessly.
To make things worse, I can’t contact Apple Developer Support because I apparently need an active account to do so, which puts me right back into the same loop.
I’ve also tried enrolling from different Apple devices, but I keep receiving this error:
internal exception occurred
ErrorCode: 991991
ErrorMessage: The request cannot be processed at this time. Please try again later.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a known fix or workaround?
I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions on how to break out of this loop or get in touch with Apple support.
Thanks in advance!

I am experiencing a critical issue with the Apple Developer Portal where certificates are being created under the incorrect Team ID despite being logged into the correct team context.
I am logged into the Apple Developer Portal under "Company LLC (Team ID: 12345678)"
However, when creating "Apple Development" certificates through the portal, they are being assigned Team ID "987654321" (my personal developer account)
This occurs even when explicitly creating certificates from within the Company LLC team context. The same is happening if I tried to create the IOS Development Certificate in Xcode, same issue, creates the certificate with the wrong Team ID
This is preventing me from Archive my app in Xcode so i can upload the new version of my App in the App Store. Please Help. Thank you in advance
Can someone tell me how to unenroll from the developer program?
Despite following all the support information and YouTube tutorials I cannot get my AirPods Pro 2 to take the OS 26 beta firmware. My iPhone 14 Pro Max showed the option once now it does not give me the option. I get it on my Mac mini (M2). It still doesn't update.

I Got The Developer Beta For iOS AND iPadOS 26. On my main devices because im poor and cant buy another one.
so.. should i be worried of it being unstable? Also i didnt backup because iCloud Is Full and im not paying for a better subscription thats more expensiv.
I used to be able to see how many TSIs are still available for the membership year on the developer website, but now I cannot find it anymore.
Is it still 2 per year, or has it been recently changed to unlimited per year?
I have paid the $105 renewal fee for my developer account, but I'm still getting the "Your Apple Developer Program membership has expired." with the "Renew Membership" button.
How long should I have to wait before I can access the developer program?

I have tried contacting Apple multiple times about a duplicate charge, but I still haven’t received a response. My bank has confirmed that Apple is responsible for processing the refund, yet I have no solution. This is unacceptable. I need an urgent response and my money back immediately. Has anyone else experienced this? Share your stories!
