Apple Developer Program Enrollment FAILURE
I’ve been trying to pay for Apple Developer Program enrollment since decemeber 2024 so now in June 2025 - 6 months of no solutions We have tried all everything, emailed every possible support on developer website, tried mutliple cards and accounts, withdraw enrolment, re-enroll nothing. We even spoke to local Apple Head Office to try and get help to no avail. Customer senior management support even could not help or escalate nothing – But I don’t know what’s really going on or what to do next PLEASE HELP US We are from South Africa

Web View Not Working in MDM ABM Enrollment for Apple TV
During MDM Automated Device Enrollment of Apple TV, the web view defined by configuration_web_url is not working. We are using the web view to display the usage policy for all devices. While the web view functions correctly for other devices, it is resulting in an error specifically for Apple TV. Could you please clarify whether Apple plans to implement support for this feature on Apple TV in the future or if it will not be supported? Referring to configuration_web_url in: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/profile

Locked Company Developer Account – Immediate Assistance Required
I am the sole administrator of a paid company Apple Developer account, and as of today I’m completely locked out everywhere: I cannot sign in to App Store Connect, developer.apple.com, or even account.apple.com. Every login attempt returns either “Please verify your account information and try again” or “This account is locked and can’t be used.” I have never changed my password, Two-Factor Authentication is enabled and delivering codes, there are no pending agreements or banking/tax forms, and I see no unrecognized devices in my account. I’ve tried multiple networks, browsers, and devices, and I’ve already contacted Apple Support—yet no explanation or resolution has been provided. This total lockout is preventing our app submissions from moving forward and putting our entire release schedule at risk. I need: A clear, specific reason why my corporate Developer account has been locked. Any immediate steps or known workarounds to restore full access. Advice from anyone who has faced the same unexplained lockout.

Understanding allowedExternalIntelligenceWorkspaceIDs in MDM Payload – What ID is expected?
Hello, We're testing the new allowedExternalIntelligenceWorkspaceIDs key in the MDM Restrictions payload on supervised iPads. According to Apple's documentation, this key expects an "external integration workspace ID", but it's not clear what this specifically refers to. We've tried the following IDs individually (one at a time, as documentation says only one is supported currently): OpenAI Organization ID ChatGPT user email Apple ID used in ChatGPT Google ID used in ChatGPT login The profile installs correctly via MDM and the key is set, but we want to confirm: What exactly is considered a valid "external integration workspace ID" for this key? Is there a way to verify that the restriction is working as intended on the device (e.g. does it limit specific integrations or apps)? Is there an official list of services that currently support this? Any clarification from Apple or other developers with experience on this would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

VPP: error 9609 when disassociate assets from user
VPP API v2 returns 9609 "Unable to find the registered user." when I disassociate assets from an existing user. Repro step: 1. Create user POST https://vpp.itunes.apple.com/mdm/v2/users/create { "users": [ { "clientUserId": "client-1", "managedAppleId": "valid managed apple id" } ] } => user is associated 2. Retire user POST https://vpp.itunes.apple.com/mdm/v2/users/retire { "users": [ { "clientUserId": "client-1" } ] } => user is retired 3. Recreate user with the same clientUserId POST https://vpp.itunes.apple.com/mdm/v2/users/create { "users": [ { "clientUserId": "client-1", "managedAppleId": "valid managed apple id" } ] } => user is associated 4. Associate asset POST https://vpp.itunes.apple.com/mdm/v2/assets/associate { "assets": [ { "adamId": "408709785" } ], "clientUserIds": [ "client-1" ] } => asset associated 5. Disassociate asset POST https://vpp.itunes.apple.com/mdm/v2/assets/disassociate { "assets": [ { "adamId": "408709785" } ], "clientUserIds": [ "client-1" ] } => {"errorNumber":9609,"errorMessage":"Unable to find the registered user."} Notes associate API works fine with the same payload. disassociate work with v1 API.

How to update business information on Apple Maps Ukraine?
Hello everyone, I need help updating business information on Apple Maps for locations in Ukraine. Unfortunately, the usual methods, like "Report an Issue" in the Maps app or using Apple Business Connect, don’t seem to be working properly for Ukrainian businesses. Many locations have outdated or missing details, which is frustrating for both business owners and customers. Given the current situation, keeping information accurate is more important than ever. Has anyone successfully updated business listings in Ukraine recently? If so, could you share the process or any contacts that might help? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

How to pass the review process for an app with MDM support?
Hello, We have implemented support for our app to work with MDM. Basically the app needs to read the custom configuration with UserDefaults.standard.dictionary(forKey: ‘com.apple.configuration.managed’) in order to be functional when in an MDM. The issue is that in the app review process we are told that: "Guideline 2.1.0 - Information Needed We are still unable to access the app's Mobile Device Management (MDM) functionality. Provide a demo MDM profile and corresponding login credentials that we can be used to access the MDM features and functionality." How do we create a demo MDM profile? Our app only needs to be passed configuration information and we have used Apple Configurator to create a profile, we have added information but it still doesn't work. Here is an example of the .mobileconfig file we have generated, but when we install it on our device, the app does not return any value using UserDefaults.standard.dictionary(forKey: ‘com.apple.configuration.managed’). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>PayloadContent</key> <array> <dict> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>App Name</string> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key> <string>com.xxx.yyy.TESTUUID</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>com.apple.ManagedAppConfiguration</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>TESTUUID</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>ManagedAppConfiguration</key> <dict> <key>MyFirstKey</key> <string>value1</string> <key>MySecondKey</key> <string>value2</string> </dict> </dict> </array> <key>PayloadDisplayName</key> <string>Test Profile</string> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key> <string>payloadid.TESTUUID2</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>Configuration</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>TESTUUID2</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> </dict> </plist> On the other hand, about 3 weeks ago we requested the MDM capability for the app (https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/mdm-capability) but we have not received any response. We are at a bit of a loss.
