"Authentication service is unavailable."
Urgent Assistance Needed: Issue Logging into Apple Developer Enterprise Account via Visual Studio 2022 - "Authentication service is unavailable." Dear Apple Support Team, I am encountering an issue while attempting to log into my Apple Developer Enterprise account through Visual Studio 2022. The process consistently fails with the error message: "Authentication service is unavailable." Here are the steps I followed: Open Visual Studio 2022. Navigate to Tools -> Options -> Apple Developer Account -> Add Account -> Select Enterprise Account. Attempt to log in using my Apple Developer ID and password. Despite multiple attempts, I continue to face the error: "Authentication service is unavailable." This issue occurs on both Windows and Mac environments, with the same results. However, I am able to log into my Apple Developer account via the browser, and the Apple service status portal shows no outages. As this issue is impacting our ability to deliver to our customers, I kindly request your prompt assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you in advance for your help. I look forward to your quick response. Best regards, KanTime Dev Team Windows Machine Mac Machine

Unable to renew Apple Developer subscription using managed Apple Account
We use managed Apple accounts for all users in our environment. One of these accounts is associated with an App Store app. Currently the developer console has a banner that says: "There's no credit/debit card on the Apple Online Store associated with your Apple ID to auto-renew your membership." This account, as well as my own admin account, are unable to add a payment method to our Apple account. We're missing the "Payments & Shipping" button on the Manage Account page. How can we renew our developer subscription to keep our app on the App Store? It's critical for us that the account that owns this app is managed. TIA

New apple dev enrollment
I signed up for the Apple Developer Program 15 days ago, but I haven’t received any updates on my enrollment. A few days ago, I attempted to sign up again and contacted support three days ago, but I still haven’t received a response. I initially enrolled via the web, but I’m unable to re-enroll through the Apple Developer app with this email. To troubleshoot, I created a new Apple ID, and from that new account, I can proceed with enrollment via the app. My question is, should I attempt to enroll with my new Apple ID? And if so, would I be at risk of being charged twice if my original account is eventually approved, resulting in two active subscriptions?

Developer Support Contact Page Won't Load (Among Other Issues)
I just joined the Apple Developer Program through my university team, and the point of contact for our university verified that I am on the team. However, after almost a week of waiting, I am still unable to access any privileges related to the program, and whenever I sign into my account, I am prompted to join the program, leading me to believe that there is some issue related to the enrollment process. I went to find a support link to see if I could sort out this issue, but whenever I navigate to the link given on the developer program page (https://developer.apple.com/contact/), I am greeted with a blank screen. Is it possible that I've done something wrong during the enrollment process?

Adding devices to developer account stuck at "processing"
Hello, Typically, when we add a new device to our developer account, it’s available for use right away. However, we added two devices yesterday, and both are still showing a “processing” status today. We haven’t reached our maximum device limit. Is there currently a slowdown with Developer Services? Thanks!

Switching from Individual to Organization account using MY D-U-N-S number
I am writing to express my concern regarding the delayed processing of my request to switch my developer account from individual to organization. I submitted two separate requests, each with a unique case number, and received notifications stating that my issue would be resolved within one business day. However, despite the passage of several business days, I have yet to receive any updates or solutions. I kindly request you to expedite the review and approval process for my account type change. My organization's DUNS number is provided already in my request application. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Assistance Needed for Pending Apple Developer Enrollment
Hello Apple Developer Support Community, I’m reaching out here in hopes of getting some guidance or assistance with an enrollment issue. Our institution recently completed the Apple Developer Program enrollment as an accredited educational institution after receiving our DUNS number. It’s been over a week since the submission, but the status is still showing as "pending," and we haven’t received any follow-up communication. This delay is creating a significant barrier for our students, as they urgently need access to the resources associated with the developer program for their ongoing projects. If anyone has experience with expediting this process or knows of any steps we might be missing, I would be extremely grateful for your insights. Thank you in advance for any advice or assistance!

Membership enrollment
I recently created an account and attempted to pay the $99 USD fee for the Apple Developer Program. I was informed that it might take up to 48 hours for the payment to be processed. However, it has now been 6 days, and the payment has not been debited from my account, nor has the membership been activated. I've double-checked my payment method, account details, and any possible notifications but haven't found any issues or updates regarding this delay. I also contacted Apple Support through email a few days ago but have not received any response so far. Has anyone experienced a similar problem where the payment hasn't been processed after several days? If so, what steps did you take to resolve it?

Apple Developer Program Nightmare: Stuck in Verification Limbo with Zero Support
Joining the Apple Developer Program has been an absolute nightmare. I submitted my application form days ago, armed with every piece of identification imaginable—driver’s license, passport, you name it—ready to verify my identity. But here I am, still waiting, with zero communication or updates from Apple. The lack of support is truly baffling. Apple, a company that prides itself on “seamless user experience,” has left developers completely in the dark with a removed phone support option, leaving us with no direct way to reach a real human for help. We’re left floundering through the approval process with no accountability or means to expedite anything. For a company that relies on developers to keep their ecosystem thriving, this level of support (or rather, lack thereof) is insulting. I honestly don’t know what else Apple expects from us. We’re ready to pay, contribute, and build apps that keep the App Store alive. The least they could do is provide basic customer service. Apple, if you're listening, you need to fix this. Developers deserve respect and timely support, not silence and frustration. This is not what we signed up for, and it’s certainly not what we expected from one of the biggest tech companies in the world.

Been waiting for Apple Dev ID review since August 1
Been waiting for Apple Developer ID review since August 1. I've emailed weekly, asking for updates. I've called the Apple Developer support line. I've talked to multiple representatives. The most I can get out of anyone is that "The account application is being reviewed, you just have to wait, there is literally nothing more you can do. Just wait." For months now, that has been the response. Anyone know how to go about expediting, or what the next realistic step is here? I've been told that the request has been escalated as far up as it can be, but still getting no motion here. I asked if I should have someone else in my company submit the application, and asked if I should cancel my current application, and was told that I should not, as that would 'reset the timer' and I could end up waiting months more. Really at a loss here as to how to proceed. Anyone else run into this sort of issue, and eventually got a resolution? Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Enrollment Issues with Apple Developer Program - Seeking Assistance
Hello Apple Developer Community, I've been struggling to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for several weeks now, and I'm hoping someone here might have faced similar issues or has some advice: Apple ID Creation: Initially, I couldn't sign up for an Apple ID using my preferred email, so I had to resort to using a Gmail account, which eventually worked. Payment and Reversal: After managing to create an ID, I proceeded with the payment for the Developer Program. Everything appeared to go through smoothly, but a few days later, the charges were reversed, and my registration status showed as "pending." Support Challenges: I've contacted Apple Support multiple times. Each attempt involved using different emails and credit cards as suggested, but to no avail. The support team mentioned they couldn't access or provide information on developer enrollments directly, advising to use the developer support email for further help. Unfortunately, I haven't received any response from the developer support email address. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Here are my questions: Has anyone successfully resolved a similar enrollment payment reversal issue? Are there known workarounds or additional steps I should take before or after payment to ensure enrollment goes through? Is there a more direct way to get in touch with developer support, perhaps through a different channel? Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! Best Regards, HorseHookup
