Change Developer Forum Username
Hi There, Last year, I changed my company name from SugAR Labs to All Immersive. My current developer forum username is "SugAR_Labs" and I would like to change it to "All_Immersive" to match my new company name. I was advised by developer support on a phone call that there is not a way for me to do this myself. They referred me to a post like this to see if someone could help. Can someone help me make the change? Thanks!

Account Locked — Need Guidance, Unknown Reason
Hello, My Apple Developer account has been locked for over a month, but I do not know the reason for the block. I have submitted multiple requests for assistance via this form and other channels, but I have not received any response. Could you please advise what steps I should take to resolve this issue? Is there another contact or department I can reach out to for help with unlocking my developer account? Thank you for your support.

App removed from Top Charts after DPLA notice, What now?
I got a “DPLA violation” email. About an hour later my app disappeared from Top Charts in multiple countries. The app is still live, searchable, and on the product page it still says “Chart No.2 – Education.” I only posted it on Reddit and made lifetime free to get feedback from the community. Here's the email: "Notification of Apple Developer Program License Agreement (“DPLA”) violation: Hello xx, We're writing to inform you that your company isn't in compliance with the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (DPLA). Section 11.2 (Termination) states: (g) if You engage, or encourage others to engage, in any misleading, fraudulent, improper, unlawful or dishonest act relating to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, misrepresenting the nature of Your Application (e.g., hiding or trying to hide functionality from Apple’s review, falsifying consumer reviews for Your Application, engaging in payment fraud, etc.). Be aware that manipulating App Store chart rankings, user reviews or search index may result in the loss of your developer program membership." The weird part: • The product page still shows ranks like “Chart No.2 – Education” (Hong Kong, and similar positions in a few other countries). • Search still finds the app normally. • But in the actual Top Charts lists the app is gone. Territories affected (so far): Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Portugal and a few more. I did not buy installs, did not pay for reviews, did not gate features behind ratings. After the email I double checked and removed any copy that could be read as an incentive for reviews, just in case. I have already emailed Support (Search & Discoverability and App Review). I am waiting, but thought I should ask here too. My questions 1. Has anyone else seen their app silently removed from charts right after a DPLA warning? 2. Did it come back on its own? How long did it take? 3. Is there anything specific I should fix besides waiting and cleaning wording? 4. Is there an official appeal path for chart suppression, not full removal? Reddit posts for context: • https://www.reddit.com/r/iosapps/comments/1m4klxs/giving_away_lifetime_free_for_limited_time_i/ • https://www.reddit.com/r/SideProject/comments/1m5d7gh/im_giving_away_free_lifetime_access_for_my/ Thanks in advance for any guidance or shared experience.

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?
