Bug
Dear Apple Support Team, I am writing to urgently request attention and a clear resolution timeline regarding a critical issue with my Apple Developer Account, which has been ongoing since June 18, 2025. Despite acknowledging that the issue is caused by a backend bug related to the Developer Program contract, and after ticket number 102625528685 was opened, there has been no meaningful progress or timeline provided. My account is currently restricted in a way that prevents me from: Submitting new apps Sending apps for review or updates Creating or managing subscriptions Fully using App Store Connect features For nearly a month now, I have only received generic replies saying that “engineering is investigating.” However, there have been no updates, no estimated timelines, and no temporary solutions offered. This issue is seriously impacting my work and business operations. I am kindly requesting that a senior support representative or engineer directly review this case and provide: A clear explanation of the root cause A realistic timeframe for a solution An interim workaround if the final fix will take more time Please escalate this matter urgently, as my business has already suffered due to this extended delay. I appreciate your understanding and hope to receive a concrete update as soon as possible. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Soheil

Developer Program enrollment stuck in review for nearly 3 months – any advice?
Hello, I'm reaching out to see if anyone has experienced a similar issue and can share any advice. We submitted our Apple Developer Program enrollment nearly three months ago, and the status has remained “In Review” ever since. We've contacted Apple Support several times by email, but all the responses have been generic – simply stating that the application is still under review, with no indication of what's causing the delay. To clarify: Our company is legally registered in Saint Vincent, but our development operations and team are based in the Philippines, which is also where the enrollment was submitted. We have no unresolved communications or pending documentation requests from Apple. This extended delay is starting to affect our business operations. Has anyone else experienced such a long review time? Were you able to escalate the issue successfully or get a more specific response from Apple? Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Membership migration from an individual to an organization
Hey guys, did someone tried recently to migrate membership from an individual to an organisation? I initiated the process on 1st of May, and as final step sent confirmation documents on 7th of May. Since then I don't have any updates, tried to contact support, but they said that they can't help as legal team is reviewing. So I wanted to ask is it ok to wait for 6 weeks? I thought this would take 2-4 weeks

Similar name to existing app
Hello! we're currently in the process of trademarking a company name for an application we're building here in the US. As this has occurred, an app built for UK users has been published with the exact same name. As we understand our trademark wont be enforcable in the UK from the US, we are disappointed as it seems we can no longer use that exact name for our application. How similar can names be in the app store? for example if their app was FunFriend, could mine be "FunFriend - US"? or "FunFriends"?

Help Needed: Free Access vs. Sign-In Requirement
Need assistance in implementing this device management feature. Our free plan lets each person use one special device. To make this work, we need to set up device control right after they log in. Because of this, we can’t let people use our app on more than one device or platform at the same time. If we don’t ask them to log in, we won’t know if they have already used their free device on Android or the Chrome extension. But Apple wants us to give people free access to things that don’t need an account. Can you help us find a way to do this?

Apple Developer Program Purchase Not Saving Progress
I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual. I’ve gone through the steps on the website and started the purchase process. However, after a couple of days when I return to the site, it doesn’t remember my progress — I have to start the enrollment from scratch every time. Is this expected behavior? Am I missing a step to save my progress or complete the enrollment properly? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Verification Code Still Sent to Old Phone Number After Changing Apple ID Number
Hello everyone, I recently changed the phone number associated with my Apple ID (about 4 days ago), but I’m still receiving the two-factor authentication verification codes on my old number instead of the new one. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a delay on Apple’s side, or is there something else I need to do to complete the update?

Developer Account Creation Taking Over a Month - No Response from Apple Support
I've been trying to create my Apple Developer account for over a month with absolutely no response from Apple. I've even resubmitted my application, but still nothing. My situation: Applied over 20 days ago Resubmitted application once Zero communication from Apple No status updates or timeline provided This complete lack of feedback is extremely frustrating and unprofessional. Other platforms process developer registrations in days, not months, and actually communicate with applicants. Has anyone experienced similar delays? How long did it take for your account to be approved? I'm seriously considering switching to other platforms due to this poor experience. Apple's silence is unacceptable for a company of this size. Any advice would be appreciated.

Redeem code suddenly associated to the invited email
My company has been sharing the redeem code to the company domain email address and allow staff to redeem the app with their personal Apple ID. However, we found that the redeem code is failing and claiming the Apple ID doesn't match the one associated with the invitation. I cannot find the documentation for this change, may I know if this is something permanent?

Apple Charged Me, Then Blocked My Xcode Team Access Without Explanation
I’m experiencing an issue where Xcode cannot access my Team ID, even though my Apple Developer Program membership appears active and I have paid for it. • When I visit Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get this popup: “Unable to find a team with the given Team ID XXXXXXXXXX to which you belong. Please contact Apple Developer Program Support.” • My Apple ID still shows an active Developer Program membership under System Settings → Media & Purchases. • In App Store Connect, I can still see my Team ID and access my account. This issue was previously resolved via phone support after I was incorrectly locked out. I had paid twice, and was refunded once, but now the issue has returned - and support claims I was refunded twice, which is false (I have proof from my bank). I’ve contacted support multiple times, and my case has been sitting with the operations team for weeks. No explanation. No resolution. Just silence. I paid for a service I’m not receiving. Has anyone dealt with a similar issue or found a way to escalate it effectively?

Guideline 3.2.1(viii) - Business - Other Business Model Issues - Acceptable
Our company owns multiple financial apps, and each app has provided its own ICANN WHOIS domain certificate. However, the app submission was still rejected with the following reason: "The app provides loan services, but the domains listed on the app's Product Pages are still not clearly under your control or ownership. Since users may use these domains to contact you to request support, the domains used on the Product Page for loan apps must be under your control or ownership. Next Steps Update the Product Page metadata in App Store Connect to only include domains that you both own and are used as email domains for Apple Accounts registered to your developer account. You can review the email domains and Apple Accounts registered to your developer account in the Users and Access section of App Store Connect. Account Holder and Admin users should use emails with domains that identify the company providing loan services.“ Actions we’ve taken: Removed unrelated personnel accounts. Updated developer information to use company-owned domain names. Submitted relevant domain ownership certificates. Despite these steps, the rejection persists for the same reason. We would like to request guidance on how to resolve this issue. Specifically: How can we ensure compliance with App Review Guideline 3.2.1(viii) regarding domain ownership and financial service provider requirements? Are there additional steps or documentation needed to validate domain control for Apple’s review process?

Delete Account Functionality Requirements
Hello, I'm trying to understand the requirements for offering account deletion within apps, specifically when users have created accounts outside of the app. As of June 2022, "apps submitted to the App Store that support account creation must also let users initiate deletion of their account within the app" (source), but I'm not quite clear on what the parameters surrounding "supporting account creation" are. I'm wondering if this applies in cases where users have not created an account in the app (or been led from the app to a website to create an account). Users of our app always start with the website, and use the app as a supplement, rather than the other way around (i.e., users must create an account via our website before using the app, and are unable to create an account via the app). Given this, must our app provide "delete account" functionality?
