I applied for the Apple Developer Program on February 4, 2025, and uploaded the required documents on February 5, 2025. However, as of today (February 26, 2025), I have not received any update or response regarding my application.
I have already sent two emails regarding this matter but have not received a reply. I would appreciate an update on my application status and any further actions required on my end to complete the process.

My app which requires a crucial update, I have over 40 user emails saying the app is broken after the new macOS update, I patched the issue and submitted to appstore.
it's been a week all I see is, app "In Review" I tried submitting expedited review and I just get 502 error.
I am very close to migrating off App Store and distributing it on my own.
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

Hi,
I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for my current company. Everything seemed fine, but since yesterday, I keep encountering an 'Unknown Error' when I try to complete the enrollment.
I've checked my internet connection, updated my device, and tried multiple browsers, but the issue persists. Has anyone experienced this before or have suggestions on how to resolve it?

How do I get a response from anyone after completing this web-form? I have paid subscription, sent ID documents months ago, but still cannot get past this page
The Account Holder is no longer able to log into apple (regardless of web-based or device based attempts). The membership will expire soon without access to the account holder.
Both workflows "iforgot.apple.com" and "iforgot.apple.com/unlock" did not lead to an answer email within several days. I tried several times.
So we are almost out of store without any option. Hotline did not show other options.
Any ideas?
Hello everyone,
I’m hoping to get some guidance or hear from others who may have experienced something similar.
I registered for the Apple Developer Program as a company on January 2nd, 2026
Since completing the registration, I haven’t received any updates, feedback, or requests for additional information. The application still appears to be pending, and I’m unsure if this delay is within the normal timeframe or if there’s something I may have missed.
I understand that company verification can take longer than individual enrollments, but I would appreciate any insight into:
Typical review timelines for company enrollments
Whether there’s a recommended way to follow up with Apple Developer Support
Any steps I can take to help move the process forward
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience or advice.
Best regards,
Curlback

I’ve contacted support two or three times already and no response. I made the payment to create my Apple Developer account on the 26th and also received the invoice that same day, but the status still shows as pending. This is quite urgent, so I’m not sure what you can do on your side to help.

Hi everyone,
I registered for the Apple Developer Program about a week ago and my status is still Pending.
I’ve emailed Apple but haven’t received any response yet.
Just wondering if others are experiencing the same thing recently, or if there’s another way to follow up.
Thanks a lot!

I'm trying to renew my developer program membership which got expired 10 days ago. I couldnt find the renew button anywhere on the developer app both in Mac and iPhone. Why is it very hard for a simple program renewal? Why cant this be done on a browser from anywhere?
Seriously frustrating, I have been trying to reach support through email but no response yet it's been almost a week and also there is no way to reach through phone.
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
...

Aside: I wonder if this has anything to do with some visibly hidden unicode characters.
Hello ,
I need some help regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment.
I purchased the Developer Program on December 3rd, 2025 at 16:03 (Turkey time).
The payment was successfully processed by my bank, and I also received the official Apple Store receipt email confirming the purchase.
However, my Developer account still shows:
• “Purchase your membership”
• “Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.”
• Enrollment status: Pending
• App Store Connect still not accessible
It has now been more than 5 days, and the enrollment has not been activated.
Here are the details:
• Region: Turkey
• Payment amount: 1029 TRY (local pricing for the Developer Program)
• Payment status: Completed / Posted (not pending)
• Case ID with Apple Support: 102769533427
• I have already opened a support case, but there has been no resolution yet.
I would appreciate any guidance from others who experienced similar issues.
Is this a known delay for Turkey-based accounts, or does it usually require manual activation by Apple Support?
Any suggestions or insights would be very helpful.
Thank you!

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!

I accidentally paid twice for Apple Developer Membership, can you refund me?
I also want to know what is the status of my first enrollment, 3 days passed since I enrolled.
Topic:

SubTopic:
Apple Developer Program
Issue:
I have completed Apple Developer Program three separate times and paid twice:
Feb 17, 2026
Feb 20, 2026
Feb 27, 2026
Case IDs:
102826219361
102831748980
I received an Order Acknowledgement email each time stating processing within 2 business days.
However:
My account still shows “Complete your purchase”
My membership has not been activated
I have received no follow-up or activation email
Multiple support emails received no response.
This appears to be a backend enrollment fulfillment failure or a failure on apple supports part, not a payment failure.
I need this escalated to the Developer Program Enrollment team for manual review and activation.
This is blocking my app development, and frankly the lack of communication is unacceptable for a company like Apple.

Hello everyone,
I am facing a persistent and unacceptable issue with my individual enrollment in the Apple Developer Program that has been ongoing for nearly three months. Despite multiple attempts to communicate with Developer Support, I am continuously receiving the exact same generic statement: "For one or more reasons, your enrollment... couldn't be completed," with no clear explanation or actionable steps provided.
This lack of genuine assistance and transparency is deeply frustrating and prevents me from publishing my application.
Key Details of the Situation:
Apple ID Region: Türkiye
Current Residence and Address: United Kingdom (UK)
Identity Verification: I used my Turkish passport along with my UK residential address.
Enrollment Status/Error: After submission, I received the "Contact us to continue your enrollment" prompt.
Case Number: 102720548696
Support Experience: The case has been handled by multiple support staff (Migeylis, Alex), all of whom have provided identical, non-specific template responses, failing to address the core problem.
It appears the conflict between my Apple ID region (Türkiye) and my UK physical address/Turkish passport documentation is the likely cause. I am seeking clarification on whether this is a known issue for developers with mixed international details and what concrete steps are required to resolve this ambiguity.
Has anyone in the community experienced a similar issue? If so, what was the path to resolution?
I urge Apple officials to escalate this matter immediately and provide a specific, helpful, and transparent resolution. Every developer deserves equal and fair treatment in the enrollment process.
Thank you in advance for any insights or assistance.
Best regards,
Onur
My developer account was terminated on February 26, 2026. Case ID: 102831495509
I'm a solo developer. My app (Reazy, a text-to-speech tool for students with dyslexia) was never published — I was still in the review process. I have no other Apple developer accounts and have never had one terminated before.
The termination email cited "documented indications of fraudulent conduct" under Section 3.2(f) but gave no specifics.
I have not manipulated reviews, used fake accounts, or engaged in any fraudulent activity. I genuinely don't know what triggered this.
I've submitted appeals via developer.apple.com/contact with no response.
Can someone please explain what was flagged so I can address it? I'm happy to provide any documentation needed.

Hello,
I’m writing this here because I’m honestly stuck and unable to reach anyone through official support channels.
Order Number: W1466057949
Order Date: 18/02/2026
Case ID: 102824542025
My payment was successfully approved and processed by my bank. The amount has been fully charged. However, my Apple Developer account has still not been activated.
I opened a support ticket immediately after noticing the issue. It has now been 6 days, and I have received absolutely no response.
There is no active support in Turkey for this issue. When I try calling the Ireland support number, I can only reach an automated system — there is no way to speak to a real person. I currently have no direct contact channel to resolve this.
This situation is blocking my development work and causing serious delays. I have completed my payment in good faith, yet I cannot access the service I paid for, and I cannot reach anyone for assistance.
If anyone has experienced a similar issue or knows how to escalate this properly, I would greatly appreciate guidance.
Thank you.
