I use EAS (Expo) to build a mobile app. When I build for iOS, I need to supply my Apple credentials so that Expo can generate the necessary build credentials and validate them. For the last two days, I can't get past this authentication step: POST https://idmsa.apple.com/appleauth/auth/signin ⠦ Logging in...Error: Request failed with status code 503 I can't find anything online stating that this service is currently unavailable. Is there a problem? Any ETA on resolution?

On both my MacBook and iPhone I can't complete the "Verify Your Identity" It errors out after I upload a pic of my state id

I purchased an Apple Developer Account on Saturday. It is now Wednesday and my account has still not been activated. I filed a help ticket but it has not been responded to yet.

Hello everyone, I’m posting here to see if anyone has experienced a similar issue or can advise on next steps. I submitted a support request to Apple Developer Support over a week ago and received the automated confirmation, but I haven’t received any follow-up or response yet. Case ID: 102818054039 I’ve already been charged USD 99.00 for the Apple Developer Program, and the payment was successful. Below are some of the relevant details for reference: Product: Apple Developer Program Invoice Number: MC47999846 Invoice Date: January 29, 2026 Web Order Number: D004733307 Sales Order Number: AER8645015 At this point, I’m just looking for a status update or guidance on what to do next. If anyone has suggestions on how to get a response from Apple Developer Support or escalate the issue, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help.

This api is experiencing 503 errors again. Please fix it as soon as possible.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here has run into this before. I created an Apple Developer account and everything was working fine until Apple asked me to verify my work email address. The email is legitimate and matches my website domain. Apple did send me the verification email, and I received the code without any issue. However, when I entered the code, it repeatedly said the code was incorrect — even though I’m certain it was entered correctly. After a few attempts, I hit the limit and now see a message saying I’ve exceeded the maximum number of attempts (3). I contacted Apple Developer Support through the developer site about a week ago but haven’t received any response yet. At this point: I can log into my Apple ID normally with no issues I cannot proceed with enrolling in the Apple Developer Program I can’t pay the fee or complete setup because the email verification step is blocked It’s been over a week since the lockout, and I’m not sure how to reset the verification or trigger a new code. Has anyone experienced this before, or does anyone know how to get this resolved? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, I’m an Admin user in an Apple Developer Program (Organization) team, but I’m unable to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles (CIP) on developer.apple.com. I’d like to understand what permission is missing and where it should be enabled. Context Program type: Apple Developer Program (Organization) My role in App Store Connect: Admin I can access App Store Connect normally, but CIP resources on developer.apple.com are blocked. The Account Holder can access CIP normally. What I see (Problem) In the Apple Developer portal → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get: “Access Unavailable — You currently don't have access to this membership resource. Contact your team's Account Holder or an Admin.” In Xcode → Settings → Accounts → Team, the “Certificates, Identifiers, & Profiles” section shows a red error indicator and doesn’t load. Only my account is affected; the Account Holder is not. What we’ve tried / confirmed Membership is active (renewal date is valid) Signed out/in of Xcode and re-added my Apple ID Confirmed selecting the correct Organization team in Xcode / Developer portal Account Holder confirmed they can access CIP Questions For an Organization team, what exact permission(s) are required for a member to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles? Where is this access controlled — App Store Connect → Users and Access vs developer.apple.com → People? If Admin in App Store Connect is not sufficient, what additional role/setting is needed to grant CIP access?

I received a developer team invite. When I click on the link to accept the invite, a new page opens. There is a proccessing spinner on the page, but it does not go any farther. I have left if run for quite some time, but it just keeps spinning. I am on a mac book pro Thanks

Hi, It is the second time I am trying to create a Developer account and having the same issue. First time, my account was "pending" for weeks until the payment were refunded to my account. I called to Apple Store, which told me the issue could be with the bank processing. I called the bank, which said the issue could be with Apple processing. Now again, trying it, and Pending... Anyone had this issue and could give me some help please ?

Hi everyone, My Apple Developer account is still pending approval. Payment has been successfully charged from my bank, and all required steps are completed. Has anyone experienced this recently or knows the current approval timelines? I have my Order ID available if needed. Thanks.

Whats the deal with apple taking money from people for a developer account and doing nothing about it. There's a growing number of users waiting weeks and some over a month who have paid for a developer account and are not receiving what they paid for. When trying to reach out to Apple they are ignored and never answered. Some would label this theft or fraud. Whats going on?

Dear Apple Developer Program Legal/Compliance Team, I am writing in response to the termination notice regarding my Apple Developer Program account, in which Apple cites an alleged violation of Section 3.2(f) of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (ADP Agreement), based on “documented indications of fraudulent conduct.” I respectfully request formal clarification and detailed information regarding this determination, as I take compliance obligations under Apple’s agreements very seriously. Specifically, I kindly request the following: Clarification of Alleged Conduct Please specify the exact actions, behaviors, or activities that Apple has determined to constitute a violation of Section 3.2(f), including the category of conduct involved (e.g., technical interference, platform misuse, fraudulent activity, distribution abuse, business practice violations, or other). Scope and Nature of the Evidence Without requesting disclosure of sensitive internal systems, I respectfully ask for clarification regarding the general nature of the evidence relied upon (e.g., transactional records, system logs, behavioral patterns, policy violations, or platform integrity signals). Account-Level vs. Application-Level Issues Please confirm whether the alleged violation relates to: A specific application or applications, Account-level activity, Distribution mechanisms (TestFlight, Custom App Distribution, Ad Hoc, etc.), Or external operational behavior associated with the developer account. Opportunity for Rectification or Compliance Remediation Kindly advise whether Apple provides any compliance remediation pathway, corrective action mechanism, or review process for cases involving Section 3.2(f), including: Formal reconsideration or appeal procedures, Regulatory complaint mechanisms, Compliance audit or corrective action submissions, Reinstatement eligibility criteria. Reapplication and Cooling-Off Period Requirements Please clarify the conditions, requirements, and compliance expectations associated with the stated reapplication restriction period, including whether specific remediation steps, certifications, or compliance documentation may be required prior to any future eligibility review. My intent is to fully understand the nature of the determination, ensure full legal and contractual compliance, and clarify whether any formal resolution or review mechanisms exist under Apple’s policies or applicable platform regulations. I respectfully request that this inquiry be handled through the appropriate legal or compliance review channel. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jiuru Song [Team ID / Developer ID if available]8DJDU79WZ7 [Company Name, if applicable]ASIA DIGITAL ALLIANCE PTE. LTD.

We are currently developing a research-based iOS application that relies heavily on background capabilities, specifically Significant Location Change. We are using CLLocationManager.startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges(). During development, when using Debug → Simulate Location in Xcode, we receive a location update only once. Subsequent simulated location changes do not trigger additional callbacks, which makes testing and development quite cumbersome. Are there any tools, commands, or workflows (e.g., via Xcode, Instruments, or system-level simulation) to reliably simulate multiple significant location change callbacks for testing purposes? If there aren't such tools, how do I test this behaviour reliably, robustly and rigidly?

Hi all, I am experiencing an error when attempting to pay for apple developer program "Your payment authorisation failed on card •••XXXX. Please verify your information and try again, or try another payment method." I have tried multiple payment methods and even another bank, Apple wont let me pay with apple pay in my region (AUS). Any suggestions?

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 have purchased the apple developer account about 2 months ago, my account has not been activated since then. I have reached apple support multiple times over mails, but received no response. We have also shared our D-U-N-S number multiple times over email. Case ID: 102773282429

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!

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 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.
