Identity verification failed for developer account enrollment — no resolution after months of support emails
Hi all, I'm hoping someone from the community or Apple can point me in the right direction, as I've hit a wall I can't get past through normal support. My situation: I tried to enrol in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual. Enrollment failed at the identity verification stage in the Apple Developer app, and the app no longer gives me any option to retry. I've since received the same reply twice from Developer Support: that they "can't verify my identity with the Apple Developer app or provide further assistance with the Apple Account for Apple developer programs." I then obtained a D-U-N-S number for my registered business and attempted Organization enrollment instead — but I'm blocked there as well. What I've already done on my side: Confirmed my Apple Account name matches my government-issued photo ID exactly Corrected my account address and payment details Enabled two-factor authentication and set a trusted phone number Opened multiple support cases but I don't receive any response. My question: Since both Individual and Organization enrollment are blocked, is this a flag on my Apple Account itself rather than on the enrollment type? If so, what is the correct route to have that reviewed? Is there a specific team or a phone escalation path that can look at an account-level verification block? Email support has not been able to help. I have a finished app ready to submit and I'm simply trying to find the right door. Any guidance from those who've resolved a similar verification issue would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

App Store Connect still shows “Developer Program Membership Expired” 4 days after renewal
Hello, I renewed my Apple Developer Program membership on August 8, 2026, and the yearly membership fee was successfully paid. I received the payment confirmation, and my membership currently shows as active. However, I am seeing the following message: “The Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been updated and needs review. To review and accept the updated agreement, sign in to your account on the Apple Developer website.” When I sign in as the Account Holder, there is no updated agreement or option available for me to review or accept. My apps are currently unavailable on the App Store, and this has been the case despite my membership being successfully renewed. This is seriously affecting my business. Could you please urgently check my account and enable the agreement for review, or resolve any synchronization issue with my membership? Thank you.

App Store Connect Status Not Syncing After Successful Membership Renewal
Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I recently renewed my Apple Developer Program membership on August 8, 2026. When checking my account portal at ⁠developer.apple.com/account⁠, my membership status shows as active with the new expiration date set to August 9, 2027, and all current agreements have been accepted. However, my App Store Connect dashboard still displays a banner stating that my membership has expired, and my apps remain unavailable. Could you please assist in manually refreshing or syncing the account status between the Developer Portal and App Store Connect?

Complaints Handling: Member Blocked from App Store Connect
I have spent eight weeks trying to get this account opened, and I paid for it over six weeks ago. Roni confirmed that the escalation managers have had every piece of information they requested for weeks, but the account still has not been opened. I asked to file a complaint about the escalation managers. Roni could not tell me the name of the department that would review my complaint, nor could she explain the complaint process. After she gave me conflicting information, I said I would also like to complain about the lack of clear information; she told me she did not know Apple's complaint process at all. She then said that any complaint about her would go to a separate team. When I asked whether both complaints would go to the same team, she said she was not allowed to tell me. I have therefore paid for a service that has not been delivered, and been given no usable route to complain about either failure. An account taking 8 weeks is bad service. An advisor telling you she cannot name the reviewing department, cannot describe the process, and is not allowed to say whether two complaints go to the same team — that's a company with no functioning complaints route. Complaints are discretionary for Apple; money isn't. A paid-for service has to be performed within a reasonable time, and 6+ weeks with zero outstanding items is past it. App Store Connect isn't a convenience — it's the entire benefit of the thing I paid for. No App Store Connect means no submissions, no builds, no releases, no revenue. I haven't received partial service; I've received none of it.

Apple Developer Enrollment Issues, Payment Problems, and Account Access
Hello, I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I’m having an issue with the enrollment and payment process. I initially signed up through the Apple Developer app. However, when I try to enroll, I cannot click “Enroll Now.” Under the enrollment section, I see a message saying: “Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account.” I then went to the Apple Developer website to try to complete the enrollment and pay the $99 USD membership fee. However, the payment did not go through, and I received the message: “We’re having a problem with your payment.” A team member then tried to make the payment using their credit card. The payment went through, and Apple asked me to provide identity verification documents. I uploaded the requested documents, and Apple confirmed that they received them. However, a couple of hours later, I received another email saying: “We’re having a problem with your payment.” This has left me confused about the status of my enrollment. My main concern is what happens if I successfully pay the $99 USD membership fee I’m wondering if there is an issue with my account, my enrollment, or a policy violation. What i need to do to receive my Developer Program membership, or could my enrollment account suspended/terminated after payment? When I log back into the Apple Developer website, I see this message: “Sorry, you don’t have access. Your account isn’t authorized to upload files. To sign in with a different Apple Account, or to continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now.” Could someone please explain: Why my Apple Developer app says enrollment is not available for my Apple Account. Why my payment keeps showing “We’re having a problem with your payment.” Whether payment of the $99 fee guarantees enrollment or if Apple still has to approve the account afterward. What happens to the $99 payment if enrollment is rejected or the account cannot be activated. What happens if an enrolled developer later violates an Apple Developer Program policy Thank you for any help or clarification.

Apple Developer Program enrollment blocked for 2 months despite escalation – Case 102909604897
Title: Apple Developer Program enrollment blocked for 2 months despite escalation – Case 102909604897 Hello, I am seeking assistance with an Apple Developer Program enrollment issue that has now remained unresolved for approximately two months. When I attempt to enroll as an individual, clicking “Enroll” immediately results in: “Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” The error occurs immediately, before I can proceed through the enrollment process or reach payment. What has already been established: • My Apple Account works normally and two-factor authentication is enabled. • My legal name and account information are correct. • I can access developer.apple.com/account. • Apple Developer Support confirmed that my trusted device is already associated with an existing Apple Developer Program or Apple Developer Enterprise Program account. • I subsequently found an Apple email sent to my current Apple Account in January 2026 confirming “Agreement Signed: Apple Developer Agreement.” • I am not aware of any other active Developer Program membership that I could use. Support case 102909604897 was escalated to a Senior Advisor. I was informed that the Operations Team had reviewed the case and forwarded it to another appropriate internal team for further review. Unfortunately, approximately two months have now passed without resolution. I have followed up several times and have been told that support volumes are high, but I have not received a technical resolution, a request for additional information, or an estimated timeframe. This is now preventing me from using TestFlight and distributing my iOS applications. I understand that account-specific information cannot be investigated publicly. I am therefore not asking for account details to be disclosed here. Could someone from Apple Developer Program Support please review or internally follow up on case 102909604897 and advise whether any further action is required from my side? I am fully available to provide identity documentation or any other information required through an appropriate private Apple support channel. Thank you. Christian Thiel-Hirschmann

Apple Developer Enrollment On Hold for 1 year
Hello, My enrollment in the Apple Developer Program has been "On Hold" for over a year. I am applying for an individual account and urgently need access to complete my setup. I contacted Apple Support two weeks ago and received a single response stating they would look into it, but I have not received an update since. Any assistance or guidance from the community or forum staff on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Apple Developer Account Migration Stuck for Over 3 Months — No Support Response
Hello Apple Developer Community, I’m posting here as a last resort, hoping someone from the community or Apple can help me resolve this issue. I have an individual Apple Developer account and submitted a request to migrate it to an Organization account. According to the message shown in my Apple Developer account, the migration is still being processed: “We’re processing your membership migration from an individual to an organization.” The problem is that this has been going on for more than 3 months, and during this entire period, my developer membership benefits have been disabled, meaning **I cannot properly use my Apple Developer account or access the services I need. ** I have tried every available support channel I have genuinely tried everything I could: Support tickets: Submitted and still open, with no meaningful response. Email: Contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times, with no response. Phone support: Called multiple times and waited more than 3 hours on some occasions, without someone answering my calls at all. I have repeatedly attempted to follow up, but I am still stuck at the same stage. At this point, I don't know what else I can do. Three months is an extremely long time for an account migration, especially when the process completely disables the developer membership. I understand that account migrations may require verification and processing, but there should at least be a clear status update or a way to escalate an issue that has been pending for this long. I would really appreciate it if someone could advise me on: How can I escalate this migration request? Is there a specific Apple Developer team or department that handles delayed organization migrations? Is there any way to get an actual status update on my request? Can Apple restore my developer membership benefits while the migration is being processed? I’m not looking to bypass Apple's procedures. I simply need someone to review the case and tell me what is causing the delay and what I need to do to complete the migration. My account currently shows that the migration is still being processed, as shown in the attached screenshot. If anyone from Apple Developer Support sees this, please help me escalate this case. Thank you.

Account Holder of a team, but portal shows free account and enrollment is blocked — support case unanswered for 3 weeks
I've hit a state I can't get out of and support hasn't responded, so posting here in case someone from Apple can route it. developer.apple.com/account shows me only the free-account view — no Membership section, no team, no Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, and no Renew option. It offers "Join the Apple Developer Program". But clicking Enroll lands on developer.apple.com/enroll/ineligible/account-holder: "Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership." Xcode: "Unable to find a team with the given Team ID 'S25RFUK37U' to which you belong." App Store Connect still works and still lists my published apps, so the team record clearly exists. So I can't enroll (Apple says I already have a membership) and I can't renew (no membership is exposed anywhere in my account). I'm the sole Account Holder, nobody else administers the account, and I received no email about expiration or termination. Case 102945522781 has been open since July 18 with three messages sent and only automated acknowledgements in return. Has anyone seen this specific combination, and is there a way to get a Developer Account team review other than the standard contact form?

Issue with Apple Developer Enrollment – Stuck in "Processing"
Hello everyone, I need help with my Apple Developer Program enrollment, as I have been stuck in the processing stage since February 20 and I don’t know what else to do. When I initially tried to enroll, I was told that the process would take two business days, but it has been much longer now. Every two days, I have attempted to purchase again, but I always receive the same message telling me to wait another two days. I have checked my payment method, verified my Apple ID information, and followed all the recommended steps, but I still cannot complete the enrollment. Has anyone else experienced this issue? What can I do to resolve it? I would appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you in advance for your help! Best regards, Didier Orjuela

Developer Program Membership Renew
Hi! Our membership has been expired and we unable to renew it. On developer website it says to sign in to Apple Developer app and renew from there, but there is no any button or an option to renew it there. We have tried different devices. We think the cause is that developer account holder is a business managed account. Could anyone help us renew membership with business managed account as a account holder? Thank you!

Unable to continue Apple Developer Program enrollment after updating my legal name
Hello, I am currently trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but my enrollment appears to be stuck. During the identity verification process, I realized that my Apple Account did not include my complete legal name. I updated my Apple Account at account.apple.com, and it now exactly matches my government-issued ID. However, the change does not appear to have propagated to Apple Developer. My Apple Account now shows my complete legal name, but the Apple Developer website still displays my previous name (without my middle name). At the same time, I can no longer continue the enrollment because every Apple Developer page redirects me to: “Need assistance with accessing your developer account?” Because of this, I literally cannot access any of the normal Apple Developer support options. Every support link redirects me back to the same page, leaving me unable to request a callback or access any other support workflow. The only option available to me is submitting the contact form shown on that page. I have already contacted Apple Developer Program Support multiple times. Original Case ID: 102832884586 (reviewed and re-escalated to Enrollment Operations after correcting my legal name) Latest Case ID: 20000129107913 (opened from the “Need assistance with accessing your developer account?” page because I remain unable to continue my enrollment) It has now been over a week since my case was re-escalated, and I have not received any updates. While searching the forums, I found thread 701338, where Apple Developer Support was able to update an enrollment after a legal name correction. Since my situation also involves a legal name update that does not appear to be reflected in Apple Developer, I am wondering if my enrollment could be in a similar unsynchronized state. Has anyone experienced something similar? If an Apple Developer Support representative is available, could you please review these cases if appropriate, or confirm whether the legal name associated with my enrollment may need to be synchronized manually? I would also appreciate confirmation that my enrollment is still progressing normally and has not become stuck in an inconsistent state. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

15-year account flagged for termination over one unreleased app — seeking advice
I am facing a nightmare scenario with Apple and need some advice or insights from anyone who has experienced something similar. The App Review Board is going to terminate our account because a new app has been rejected multiple times in the review process and remains unresolved. (4-5 times) No specific instructions or evidence provied, only guidelines (Section 3.2(f)) which are vague. We are very shocked that they are terminating our account because of an unreleased app (not visible to any user). We publish apps on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. The Android version of this app was already released and has been running for half a year. We understand Apple has its standards, so we kept revising it in the review process. Google Play also has its own review process; a successful launch means the app couldn't have any serious problems. Our Apple developer account is 15 years old. We have always played by the rules. There are 10+ apps with many users. For the past month, all our update reviews have been paused because of this "flag for termination". If they actually terminate the account, does it mean they will permanently hold all our pending payments and delete/remove all our existing 10+ good apps? What's wrong with our existing apps that have been running for over a decade, and what about our dear users? Is this all because an unpublished app failed multiple times in the review process (but was released on Google and has been running for more than half a year)? We are very confused. What other department could we seek help from at Apple? Apple ID of the app: 6757391175 【Why mention Google's Play Store? It's not just app review rejections. (Different stores, different rules) 2. And It's not single app termination 3. It's account termination. It must mean the app violate rules seriously. But it's published on Google, so the app is a normal app. That's the reason mentioning it. 】

Developer Account Terminated — No Explanation, App Never Published
My developer account was terminated on February 26, 2026. Case ID: 102831495509 I'm a solo developer. My app (Reazy, a text-to-speech tool for students with dyslexia) was never published — I was still in the review process. I have no other Apple developer accounts and have never had one terminated before. The termination email cited "documented indications of fraudulent conduct" under Section 3.2(f) but gave no specifics. I have not manipulated reviews, used fake accounts, or engaged in any fraudulent activity. I genuinely don't know what triggered this. I've submitted appeals via developer.apple.com/contact with no response. Can someone please explain what was flagged so I can address it? I'm happy to provide any documentation needed.

Apple Developer Support Delays?
Has anyone else experienced long delays with Apple Developer Program enrollment? I've been waiting for an update since 4 July and have sent multiple follow-ups, but I keep receiving the same response: they're handling a high volume of support requests or that they will get back to me when they have an update. Has anyone else experienced this recently? How long did it take for your enrollment to be approved.

Unable to enroll in Apple Developer Program – blocked before code entry (Academy enrollment)
Hello, I am currently a learner in the Apple Developer Academy and have received a valid Apple Developer Program enrollment code. However, I am completely blocked from enrolling. Whenever I try to access the Apple Developer Program enrollment page, I immediately see the message: “Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” Because of this, I cannot even reach the step where I can enter my enrollment code. This is preventing me from continuing with the Academy program, as Developer Program access is required. Details: 2FA enabled Payment method added Signed in on iPhone and used App Store Issue persists for several days I have already contacted Apple Developer Support, but received a generic response without a specific reason. This seems to be an account restriction issue rather than a problem with the enrollment code. Has anyone experienced a similar issue, or is there a way to resolve this? Thank you.

Managing FairPlay Certificates
Due to hysterical raisins, our Apple Developer Account (2A...FW) has five FairPlay Streaming resources under https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list Three of these are certificates (fairplay.cer) and two of them are provisioning packages (fps-bundle.zip). The three certificates all use 1024-bit RSA keys and have creation dates of: Oct 24 23:22:09 2016 (expired Oct 25 23:22:09 2018) 3J Mar 29 19:39:15 2018 (expired Mar 29 19:39:15 2020) 2N Feb 11 00:32:06 2026 (expires Feb 1 00:22:57 2027) LD (I've included the first two characters of the Apple resource ID to help keep these straight.) The key for the first two (same key for both) is lost to the mists of time. The third is a cert I created from a new key, so I have the key for it. (The developer portal will not let us create any more 1024-bit FairPlay certs.) The two FPS bundles each contain an fps_certificate.bin which itself contains a 1024-bit cert and a 2048-bit cert. Looking at this file in each bundle, the bundles include the same 1024-bit cert that I created on Feb 11, but two different 2048-bit certs with creation dates of: Feb 11 00:32:06 2026 (expires Feb 11 00:32:05 2028) YP Feb 11 00:56:22 2026 (expires Feb 11 00:56:21 2028) 9N Both 2048-bit certs use the same key (which I have). Finally, we use a third-party as our streaming provider. With them we shared the first FPS bundle (YP). So, this is a big mess. And I'm unable to delete any of these entries from our developer account. Questions: Does the expiration date on these certs matter or is it ignored for streaming purposes? How do we delete FP certs/bundles we no longer need/use/are expired? With respect to using third-party vendors for streaming (with whom we've shared an FPS bundle): Is it okay to re-use the same FPS bundle if we change vendors? Should we ask Apple to delete an FPS bundle once we stop using a vendor?

Someone is using our company details for an Apple Developer account and Apple won't help
Hi everyone, I have a pretty strange and frustrating situation with Apple Developer Program and I'm not sure what else I can do. I am the founder and legal director of ROBI SOLUTIONS, TOO. Recently I tried to enroll our company into the Apple Developer Program, but Apple rejected/withdrew the enrollment because our D-U-N-S number is already linked to another Apple Developer team. The problem is: nobody currently authorized in our company has access to this team, and nobody from our company authorized another person to create or control an Apple Developer account using our company details. Apple Support even gave me the existing Team ID: B6A343DF5R, but that's basically where the help stops. I explained several times that I'm not asking Apple to disclose private information about the Account Holder. I am reporting that someone appears to be using our company's legal identity and D-U-N-S number without authorization. I am the founder and legal representative of the company. I can provide company registration documents, official registry extracts, my ID, proof that I control our corporate domain and email, D-U-N-S documentation, signed documents, notarized documents — whatever Apple needs to verify that I actually represent this company. But instead of giving me a verification process or escalating this as an unauthorized use of a company's identity, I keep getting the same privacy-related answer. This is the part I really don't understand. How can someone register an Apple Developer organization using another company's legal information, but the real owner of that company has no way to verify ownership and recover or remove that organization? What is a company supposed to do in this situation? My support case is 20000119979762. Has anyone had a similar situation? Is there a specific Apple department or escalation path for cases where a company's D-U-N-S number is being used by an unknown/unauthorized Apple Developer account? At this point I just want Apple to verify me as the legal representative of the company and either: give our company control of the existing organization account, or unlink our company and D-U-N-S number from it so we can create a legitimate account. I really don't understand why this is so difficult when I'm ready to provide all legal documents needed for verification. Thanks.

App Store Connect still shows “Developer Program Membership Expired” 4 days after renewal
Hello, I renewed my Apple Developer Program membership on August 8, 2026, and the yearly membership fee was successfully paid. I received the payment confirmation, and my membership currently shows as active. However, I am seeing the following message: “The Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been updated and needs review. To review and accept the updated agreement, sign in to your account on the Apple Developer website.” When I sign in as the Account Holder, there is no updated agreement or option available for me to review or accept. My apps are currently unavailable on the App Store, and this has been the case despite my membership being successfully renewed. This is seriously affecting my business. Could you please urgently check my account and enable the agreement for review, or resolve any synchronization issue with my membership? Thank you.

What happens to the $99 payment if enrollment is rejected or the account cannot be activated. What happens if an enrolled developer later violates an Apple Developer Program policy Thank you for any help or clarification.

Apple Developer Program enrollment blocked for 2 months despite escalation – Case 102909604897
Title: Apple Developer Program enrollment blocked for 2 months despite escalation – Case 102909604897 Hello, I am seeking assistance with an Apple Developer Program enrollment issue that has now remained unresolved for approximately two months. When I attempt to enroll as an individual, clicking “Enroll” immediately results in: “Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” The error occurs immediately, before I can proceed through the enrollment process or reach payment. What has already been established: • My Apple Account works normally and two-factor authentication is enabled. • My legal name and account information are correct. • I can access developer.apple.com/account. • Apple Developer Support confirmed that my trusted device is already associated with an existing Apple Developer Program or Apple Developer Enterprise Program account. • I subsequently found an Apple email sent to my current Apple Account in January 2026 confirming “Agreement Signed: Apple Developer Agreement.” • I am not aware of any other active Developer Program membership that I could use. Support case 102909604897 was escalated to a Senior Advisor. I was informed that the Operations Team had reviewed the case and forwarded it to another appropriate internal team for further review. Unfortunately, approximately two months have now passed without resolution. I have followed up several times and have been told that support volumes are high, but I have not received a technical resolution, a request for additional information, or an estimated timeframe. This is now preventing me from using TestFlight and distributing my iOS applications. I understand that account-specific information cannot be investigated publicly. I am therefore not asking for account details to be disclosed here. Could someone from Apple Developer Program Support please review or internally follow up on case 102909604897 and advise whether any further action is required from my side? I am fully available to provide identity documentation or any other information required through an appropriate private Apple support channel. Thank you. Christian Thiel-Hirschmann

Apple Developer Enrollment On Hold for 1 year
Hello, My enrollment in the Apple Developer Program has been "On Hold" for over a year. I am applying for an individual account and urgently need access to complete my setup. I contacted Apple Support two weeks ago and received a single response stating they would look into it, but I have not received an update since. Any assistance or guidance from the community or forum staff on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Apple Developer Account Migration Stuck for Over 3 Months — No Support Response
Hello Apple Developer Community, I’m posting here as a last resort, hoping someone from the community or Apple can help me resolve this issue. I have an individual Apple Developer account and submitted a request to migrate it to an Organization account. According to the message shown in my Apple Developer account, the migration is still being processed: “We’re processing your membership migration from an individual to an organization.” The problem is that this has been going on for more than 3 months, and during this entire period, my developer membership benefits have been disabled, meaning **I cannot properly use my Apple Developer account or access the services I need. ** I have tried every available support channel I have genuinely tried everything I could: Support tickets: Submitted and still open, with no meaningful response. Email: Contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times, with no response. Phone support: Called multiple times and waited more than 3 hours on some occasions, without someone answering my calls at all. I have repeatedly attempted to follow up, but I am still stuck at the same stage. At this point, I don't know what else I can do. Three months is an extremely long time for an account migration, especially when the process completely disables the developer membership. I understand that account migrations may require verification and processing, but there should at least be a clear status update or a way to escalate an issue that has been pending for this long. I would really appreciate it if someone could advise me on: How can I escalate this migration request? Is there a specific Apple Developer team or department that handles delayed organization migrations? Is there any way to get an actual status update on my request? Can Apple restore my developer membership benefits while the migration is being processed? I’m not looking to bypass Apple's procedures. I simply need someone to review the case and tell me what is causing the delay and what I need to do to complete the migration. My account currently shows that the migration is still being processed, as shown in the attached screenshot. If anyone from Apple Developer Support sees this, please help me escalate this case. Thank you.

Account Holder of a team, but portal shows free account and enrollment is blocked — support case unanswered for 3 weeks
I've hit a state I can't get out of and support hasn't responded, so posting here in case someone from Apple can route it. developer.apple.com/account shows me only the free-account view — no Membership section, no team, no Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, and no Renew option. It offers "Join the Apple Developer Program". But clicking Enroll lands on developer.apple.com/enroll/ineligible/account-holder: "Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership." Xcode: "Unable to find a team with the given Team ID 'S25RFUK37U' to which you belong." App Store Connect still works and still lists my published apps, so the team record clearly exists. So I can't enroll (Apple says I already have a membership) and I can't renew (no membership is exposed anywhere in my account). I'm the sole Account Holder, nobody else administers the account, and I received no email about expiration or termination. Case 102945522781 has been open since July 18 with three messages sent and only automated acknowledgements in return. Has anyone seen this specific combination, and is there a way to get a Developer Account team review other than the standard contact form?

Issue with Apple Developer Enrollment – Stuck in "Processing"
Hello everyone, I need help with my Apple Developer Program enrollment, as I have been stuck in the processing stage since February 20 and I don’t know what else to do. When I initially tried to enroll, I was told that the process would take two business days, but it has been much longer now. Every two days, I have attempted to purchase again, but I always receive the same message telling me to wait another two days. I have checked my payment method, verified my Apple ID information, and followed all the recommended steps, but I still cannot complete the enrollment. Has anyone else experienced this issue? What can I do to resolve it? I would appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you in advance for your help! Best regards, Didier Orjuela

Developer Program Membership Renew
Hi! Our membership has been expired and we unable to renew it. On developer website it says to sign in to Apple Developer app and renew from there, but there is no any button or an option to renew it there. We have tried different devices. We think the cause is that developer account holder is a business managed account. Could anyone help us renew membership with business managed account as a account holder? Thank you!

Unable to continue Apple Developer Program enrollment after updating my legal name
Hello, I am currently trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but my enrollment appears to be stuck. During the identity verification process, I realized that my Apple Account did not include my complete legal name. I updated my Apple Account at account.apple.com, and it now exactly matches my government-issued ID. However, the change does not appear to have propagated to Apple Developer. My Apple Account now shows my complete legal name, but the Apple Developer website still displays my previous name (without my middle name). At the same time, I can no longer continue the enrollment because every Apple Developer page redirects me to: “Need assistance with accessing your developer account?” Because of this, I literally cannot access any of the normal Apple Developer support options. Every support link redirects me back to the same page, leaving me unable to request a callback or access any other support workflow. The only option available to me is submitting the contact form shown on that page. I have already contacted Apple Developer Program Support multiple times. Original Case ID: 102832884586 (reviewed and re-escalated to Enrollment Operations after correcting my legal name) Latest Case ID: 20000129107913 (opened from the “Need assistance with accessing your developer account?” page because I remain unable to continue my enrollment) It has now been over a week since my case was re-escalated, and I have not received any updates. While searching the forums, I found thread 701338, where Apple Developer Support was able to update an enrollment after a legal name correction. Since my situation also involves a legal name update that does not appear to be reflected in Apple Developer, I am wondering if my enrollment could be in a similar unsynchronized state. Has anyone experienced something similar? If an Apple Developer Support representative is available, could you please review these cases if appropriate, or confirm whether the legal name associated with my enrollment may need to be synchronized manually? I would also appreciate confirmation that my enrollment is still progressing normally and has not become stuck in an inconsistent state. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

15-year account flagged for termination over one unreleased app — seeking advice
I am facing a nightmare scenario with Apple and need some advice or insights from anyone who has experienced something similar. The App Review Board is going to terminate our account because a new app has been rejected multiple times in the review process and remains unresolved. (4-5 times) No specific instructions or evidence provied, only guidelines (Section 3.2(f)) which are vague. We are very shocked that they are terminating our account because of an unreleased app (not visible to any user). We publish apps on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. The Android version of this app was already released and has been running for half a year. We understand Apple has its standards, so we kept revising it in the review process. Google Play also has its own review process; a successful launch means the app couldn't have any serious problems. Our Apple developer account is 15 years old. We have always played by the rules. There are 10+ apps with many users. For the past month, all our update reviews have been paused because of this "flag for termination". If they actually terminate the account, does it mean they will permanently hold all our pending payments and delete/remove all our existing 10+ good apps? What's wrong with our existing apps that have been running for over a decade, and what about our dear users? Is this all because an unpublished app failed multiple times in the review process (but was released on Google and has been running for more than half a year)? We are very confused. What other department could we seek help from at Apple? Apple ID of the app: 6757391175 【Why mention Google's Play Store? It's not just app review rejections. (Different stores, different rules) 2. And It's not single app termination 3. It's account termination. It must mean the app violate rules seriously. But it's published on Google, so the app is a normal app. That's the reason mentioning it. 】

Developer Account Terminated — No Explanation, App Never Published
My developer account was terminated on February 26, 2026. Case ID: 102831495509 I'm a solo developer. My app (Reazy, a text-to-speech tool for students with dyslexia) was never published — I was still in the review process. I have no other Apple developer accounts and have never had one terminated before. The termination email cited "documented indications of fraudulent conduct" under Section 3.2(f) but gave no specifics. I have not manipulated reviews, used fake accounts, or engaged in any fraudulent activity. I genuinely don't know what triggered this. I've submitted appeals via developer.apple.com/contact with no response. Can someone please explain what was flagged so I can address it? I'm happy to provide any documentation needed.

Apple Developer Support Delays?
Has anyone else experienced long delays with Apple Developer Program enrollment? I've been waiting for an update since 4 July and have sent multiple follow-ups, but I keep receiving the same response: they're handling a high volume of support requests or that they will get back to me when they have an update. Has anyone else experienced this recently? How long did it take for your enrollment to be approved.

Unable to enroll in Apple Developer Program – blocked before code entry (Academy enrollment)
Hello, I am currently a learner in the Apple Developer Academy and have received a valid Apple Developer Program enrollment code. However, I am completely blocked from enrolling. Whenever I try to access the Apple Developer Program enrollment page, I immediately see the message: “Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” Because of this, I cannot even reach the step where I can enter my enrollment code. This is preventing me from continuing with the Academy program, as Developer Program access is required. Details: 2FA enabled Payment method added Signed in on iPhone and used App Store Issue persists for several days I have already contacted Apple Developer Support, but received a generic response without a specific reason. This seems to be an account restriction issue rather than a problem with the enrollment code. Has anyone experienced a similar issue, or is there a way to resolve this? Thank you.

Managing FairPlay Certificates
Due to hysterical raisins, our Apple Developer Account (2A...FW) has five FairPlay Streaming resources under https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list Three of these are certificates (fairplay.cer) and two of them are provisioning packages (fps-bundle.zip). The three certificates all use 1024-bit RSA keys and have creation dates of: Oct 24 23:22:09 2016 (expired Oct 25 23:22:09 2018) 3J Mar 29 19:39:15 2018 (expired Mar 29 19:39:15 2020) 2N Feb 11 00:32:06 2026 (expires Feb 1 00:22:57 2027) LD (I've included the first two characters of the Apple resource ID to help keep these straight.) The key for the first two (same key for both) is lost to the mists of time. The third is a cert I created from a new key, so I have the key for it. (The developer portal will not let us create any more 1024-bit FairPlay certs.) The two FPS bundles each contain an fps_certificate.bin which itself contains a 1024-bit cert and a 2048-bit cert. Looking at this file in each bundle, the bundles include the same 1024-bit cert that I created on Feb 11, but two different 2048-bit certs with creation dates of: Feb 11 00:32:06 2026 (expires Feb 11 00:32:05 2028) YP Feb 11 00:56:22 2026 (expires Feb 11 00:56:21 2028) 9N Both 2048-bit certs use the same key (which I have). Finally, we use a third-party as our streaming provider. With them we shared the first FPS bundle (YP). So, this is a big mess. And I'm unable to delete any of these entries from our developer account. Questions: Does the expiration date on these certs matter or is it ignored for streaming purposes? How do we delete FP certs/bundles we no longer need/use/are expired? With respect to using third-party vendors for streaming (with whom we've shared an FPS bundle): Is it okay to re-use the same FPS bundle if we change vendors? Should we ask Apple to delete an FPS bundle once we stop using a vendor?

Someone is using our company details for an Apple Developer account and Apple won't help
Hi everyone, I have a pretty strange and frustrating situation with Apple Developer Program and I'm not sure what else I can do. I am the founder and legal director of ROBI SOLUTIONS, TOO. Recently I tried to enroll our company into the Apple Developer Program, but Apple rejected/withdrew the enrollment because our D-U-N-S number is already linked to another Apple Developer team. The problem is: nobody currently authorized in our company has access to this team, and nobody from our company authorized another person to create or control an Apple Developer account using our company details. Apple Support even gave me the existing Team ID: B6A343DF5R, but that's basically where the help stops. I explained several times that I'm not asking Apple to disclose private information about the Account Holder. I am reporting that someone appears to be using our company's legal identity and D-U-N-S number without authorization. I am the founder and legal representative of the company. I can provide company registration documents, official registry extracts, my ID, proof that I control our corporate domain and email, D-U-N-S documentation, signed documents, notarized documents — whatever Apple needs to verify that I actually represent this company. But instead of giving me a verification process or escalating this as an unauthorized use of a company's identity, I keep getting the same privacy-related answer. This is the part I really don't understand. How can someone register an Apple Developer organization using another company's legal information, but the real owner of that company has no way to verify ownership and recover or remove that organization? What is a company supposed to do in this situation? My support case is 20000119979762. Has anyone had a similar situation? Is there a specific Apple department or escalation path for cases where a company's D-U-N-S number is being used by an unknown/unauthorized Apple Developer account? At this point I just want Apple to verify me as the legal representative of the company and either: give our company control of the existing organization account, or unlink our company and D-U-N-S number from it so we can create a legitimate account. I really don't understand why this is so difficult when I'm ready to provide all legal documents needed for verification. Thanks.
