Hello,
I’m posting here to seek guidance or visibility regarding a delayed Apple Developer Program enrollment.
I completed my organization enrollment over three weeks ago and provided a valid D-U-N-S number, which is correctly listed and verifiable. Since submitting the enrollment:
The status has remained unchanged
I’ve contacted Apple Developer Support three times via email
I’ve received no response or timeline updates
There is no option shown to request a phone call
At this point, I’m unable to proceed with TestFlight, app distribution, or further development planning, and the lack of communication has made it difficult to understand next steps or expected timelines.
If anyone from Apple Support or the community can advise:
Whether this delay is expected
If additional verification steps are required
Or how best to escalate appropriately
I’d really appreciate the guidance.
Thank you for your time.

I've been wating for 5 business days now and one weekend to get my Apple Developer ID approved.
This does delay the publishing of applications.
Could a possible solution be delegating the work to other groups? Could the employees in physical stores be included in this work, if the staff allocated to this in head office are not sufficient?

Trying to enroll in Apple Developer Program to notarize my Mac app. Getting blocked repeatedly with "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time."
Verified:
✅ 2FA enabled
✅ Valid payment method
✅ All details match government ID
✅ No VPN, tried multiple browsers
✅ Waited weeks between attempts
Solo dev just trying to do things properly and pay the $99/year. Anyone found a way past this? Seeing similar threads but no clear solutions.

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on February 3, 2026. The payment was completed successfully at the time of enrollment, but my membership status has remained “Pending” since then.
So far:
No request for additional documents or identity verification
No phone call from Apple
No follow-up email other than the payment confirmation
Apple Developer Support has been contacted, but no response yet
I understand that verification can take some time, but the complete lack of communication is concerning, especially since this is blocking active development and release planning.
If this is a known backlog or system-wide delay, some transparency from Apple would help. I’d also appreciate hearing whether others who enrolled in early February are seeing the same prolonged “Pending” state.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share recent experiences or escalation paths.
When submitting registration in the Apple Developer App, it prompts "Action not allowed."
how to solved it ?

Been trying to get into Developer Prgram since December 2025.
And like many others, it seems the biggest tech company on the planet cannot streamline an enrollment program.
Unless, it’s by design, to test your nerve?
Anyways, I have now ended up paying twice, and still not even a squeak from support.
There is no Developer Support phone number in South Africa, and mails go unanswered.
How is this possible?
$200 out of pocket, and nothing to show.
Cannot even find a method for refunds.
If there are steps to still follow or docs to submit, why take my money, then ask for more info??
But this black hole of SILENCE….
Now that skype is no longer, what other platform will allow me to call the US Support number from South Africa?
The posts I'm reading here are very discouraging. So many people trying to get into the program, even people that have paid and can't get any support.
I've been an Apple developer for 15 years now. I've had various business developer accounts over the years. I've developed in my own name and for customers. This is the first time in a while that I had to get a new business developer account. I applied only a few days ago, so I'm not concerned yet but I don't know why this is so difficult.
The posts that I'm reading her here are very discouraging. Why can't we get support on this? Very disappointing. What is happening to Apple?
I'd like to get my account, and I'd like all these other people to get some help too. But this form looks completely abandoned.

I started developer enrollment a few weeks ago. My enrollment is stuck. I have received emails from Apple reminding me to upload the documents that were requested but I never got the original email that told me what documents were being requested so I don't know what I'm supposed to upload. I went to the developer.apple.com support page to request a Call Me and when I click the button I get a red error message that says: "There was a problem processing your request." so then I go to Send Us a Message and I receive "This email address isn't valid. To update your email address, visit account.apple.com." and, of course, it IS a valid email address and it is the address I have on file. So, then I called Apple Support and asked if they could, at the very least, put in a Call Me request on my behalf but they said they can't. I have replied to the emails asking me for information but received no response or acknowledgement.
The system won't let me request a call and or send a message, Apple support can't even transfer me, I literally have no idea what to do. I need suggestions. Maybe somebody from Apple Developer enrollment will see this message. I can't think of anything else at the moment. Maybe a signal flare? Homing pigeon? Seriously. Help.

Hi,
I tried to sign up for the Developer Program 7 times, starting on January 5th. It's now been a month.
I contacted customer support, they said to try enrolling through the Apple Developer App. I tried that, it asked me to do an identity verification, which I did, successfully.
Then the "enroll" button on the app got grayed out and it says:
"Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account. Visit http:// developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/."
I go to that link, I click "continue with your enrollment", I pay the $99, it goes through, I don't get charged anything, just a $0.00 authorization transaction, then get the "Order Acknowledgment" email, then nothing happens, it just goes nowhere.
Please help. If there is anything I can do, or any more information I should supply for this to go through.
I contacted support multiple times, but I don't get any response.
My enrollment ID is DPTB3R8T2Z.

Since last year, our company has been signing in new users to Apple Store Connect using our private email domain. However, since last week, when we try to sign in with this same domain, we receive the following error: "Your primary email address cannot end in @mydomain.com.br. Choose a different email address."

I’ve honestly never received service this bad from a company and I don’t say that lightly. This is the worst support experience I’ve ever had.
I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I’m stuck in a loop that has been going on for months:
The Apple Developer app repeatedly fails during identity verification and tells me there’s an issue.
When I contact support, they tell me they’ll email me instructions.
The email says: “Please use the Apple Developer app to enroll.”
I reply saying: “I did. It doesn’t work. The verification fails.”
And the response is again: “Use the Apple Developer app.”
Over and over, with no actual troubleshooting or escalation.
This is not a user-error situation — I’m following the instructions exactly. I need someone to look at what’s happening on Apple’s side (verification/enrollment status) and give a real resolution path, not the same copy-paste response.
Details:
Country/Region: [your region]
Devices tried: [iPhone model + iOS version], [Mac model + macOS version]
Exact error message shown in the app: [paste here]
Support case number (if relevant): 102784352083
What I’m asking:
Can Apple reset/clear my enrollment/verification state so I can retry cleanly?
Is there an official fix for this verification error?
Is there an alternative way to complete enrollment if the app keeps failing?
Can this be escalated to the enrollment/identity verification team?
Again: I’ve never experienced support this bad from any company. I just want to enroll and pay — but I’m blocked with no real help.
Hello everyone,
I’m posting here to see if anyone has experienced a similar issue or can advise on next steps. I applied to the developer program under sole proprieter and received this notice: "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred."
I submitted two support requests to Apple Developer Support over a week ago and received the automated confirmation, but I haven’t received any follow-up or response yet. I tried calling various numbers at Apple, but am unable to get in contact with the department whatsoever.
Case ID: 20000105546663
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 get in contact with them in any way, let me know..
Thanks in advance for any help.

Dear Apple Developer Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding my Apple Developer account, which is still pending approval. It has been several weeks since I completed the registration process and submitted all the required information, but I have not received any confirmation or update yet.
We understand that the review process for Apple Enterprise Developer Accounts requires strict verification to ensure platform security and compliance, and we fully respect and cooperate with all the review standards and procedures formulated by Apple. According to the public information and practical experience of Apple’s developer program, the conventional review cycle for enterprise developer accounts is 2-4 weeks. However, as of today, more than a month has passed since we submitted the application, and we have not received any confirmation, feedback, or update on the review progress, either via email or phone.
The delay in the account approval has gradually affected the normal work progress of our sales team. Our sales staff are unable to use the dedicated internal applications to carry out customer follow-up work efficiently, which has brought certain obstacles to our daily business development and customer service quality. We are very anxious about this and sincerely hope to get your help and attention.
Here, we kindly request the Apple executive team and the relevant review department to assist us with the following matters:
Please inquire and inform us of the current review progress of our enterprise developer account application, including whether it is in the review stage, the reasons for the delay (if any), and the estimated time for completing the review and approval.
2. If there is any missing information, unqualified materials, or additional verification required for our application, please inform us at your earliest convenience. We will immediately arrange a special person to supplement and improve the relevant materials to expedite the review process.
We have prepared all the relevant supporting materials (including D-U-N-S number, business license, legal person authorization documents, etc.) as required during the application process, and we are willing to actively cooperate with any further verification work arranged by Apple.
Apple has always been a benchmark in the global technology industry, and we have always admired and trusted Apple’s products and services. We sincerely hope that with your help, we can complete the approval of the enterprise developer account as soon as possible, so as to better support our business development and provide better services to our customers.
Thank you very much for your precious time and attention. We sincerely look forward to your prompt reply and will be grateful for your support and help.

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:
