Hi everyone, I'm looking for clarity on the NFC HCE entitlement process for third-party apps in the EEA. I've built an alternative client for Milan's public transport app (ATM Milano) on Android by reverse engineering the original app. It offers the same core functionality(users still need a valid transit subscription) just with a different UI and better UX. I'd now like to port it to iOS. According to Apple's documentation, NFC HCE was opened to third parties in the EEA starting with iOS 17.4. However, the API requires an entitlement from Apple. I have a few questions: Is the entitlement required regardless of distribution method? Even if I distribute through a third-party marketplace like AltStore PAL rather than the App Store, do I still need Apple to grant the HCE entitlement? Are third-party/alternative clients eligible for the entitlement? My app isn't a competing transit provider, it's an alternative frontend for an existing service. Users must hold a valid subscription with

Hello, I am experiencing an issue with my Apple Developer Program enrollment. Here is my situation: I enrolled using Apple ID A I completed the payment using Apple ID B (via iPhone) Both Apple IDs belong to me and have the same personal information However: My developer account still shows Pending It asks me to Complete your purchase The payment has been successfully charged No refund has been issued It has been over 80 hours Additionally, I currently see that both of my Apple IDs show Pending status, and the payment does not appear to be linked to either enrollment. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support and waiting for their response. My questions: Has anyone experienced a similar issue with Apple ID mismatch? How long did it take to resolve? Is there anything else I should do besides waiting for support?

Hi, I’m stuck with submitting a Game Center leaderboard and wanted to ask if others are seeing the same issue. My setup: App is already live on the App Store Game Center capability is enabled Leaderboard works perfectly in TestFlight (scores are submitted and visible) Problem: When I try to submit the leaderboard for review, I get: “A Game Center enabled app version must be added for review.” This is confusing because: The app already includes Game Center The app is already approved and published Apple documentation says Game Center components can be submitted without a new app version I also tried recreating the leaderboard and checking all settings, but the issue persists. Is this a known App Store Connect issue? Or is there something I’m missing? Thanks!

Hello Apple Developer Community and App Review Team, I'm writing to seek guidance regarding my app Lookify: AI Virtual Try-On (App ID: 6757718224), which has been caught in an ongoing review cycle since February 15, 2026 — nearly two months ago. Submission History: Date Version Status Feb 15 iOS 1.1.0 Removed Feb 19 iOS 1.1.0 Removed Feb 21 iOS 1.1.0 Removed Apr 3 (2:21 AM) iOS 1.1.0 Removed Apr 3 (1:17 PM) iOS 1.1.0 Removed Apr 6 (current) iOS 1.1.0 Waiting for Review Each submission was either self-removed after extended waiting periods with no reviewer feedback, or removed to address potential issues — only to re-enter the queue with the same outcome. The current submission has now been in Waiting for Review status since April 6 with no activity, no messages, and no indication of progress. What I've done to comply: Updated the Privacy Policy to be fully GDPR and KVKK compliant Provided clear demo account credentials and usage instructions for the AI try-on feature Ensured all metadata, screenshots

I enrolled in the Apple Developer program this past Monday, five days ago. The $99 charge was processed successfully. According to the Apple Developer portal, the account can take up to 48 hours to be provisioned. It has now been well beyond that, and I've received no communication from Apple Developer about what's going on. I filed a support ticket yesterday morning and have gotten no response. Has anyone else experienced these delays? Perhaps it's gotten worse in recent months as AI has made it so easy to develop? I have read elsewhere that the reason for this delay is an internal siloing between developer and user accounts. I get that Apple might need to put some gatekeeping in place for developer accounts, but this amount of delay seems ridiculous, and the lack of communication is really frustrating. I'm an indie developer trying to sell my products. The lack of support from Apple is costing me money with each day of delay. Anyone have similar experiences or ad
