Hi everyone, Has anyone experienced a similar issue with an Apple Developer Program membership renewal? On July 20, 2026, I received an email from Apple confirming that my membership had been successfully renewed until July 20, 2027. My credit card also showed a charge from APPLE.COM, which matches the Apple Developer Program membership fee. However, eight days later, I received another email saying that Apple was unable to collect the payment after several attempts, and my Apple Developer Program access was disabled. I’m confused because: Apple previously confirmed that the renewal was successful. The membership expiration date was updated to July 20, 2027. My credit card shows a transaction from APPLE.COM. And And I contacted the bank that issued my credit card. They said Apple hasn't sent a bill for this purchase. So I have tried to enroll but website display "Sorry, you can’t enroll at this time. Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership." Any advice from someone who has experienced this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey there, About 2 weeks ago I enrolled in the apple developer program and ive been waiting for it to be approved. My app is ready and this is keeping me behind schedule for my release. Could someone help me resolve this. I emailed and sent tickets but nada. Thank you

Hi There, I am unable to renew apple developer program membership this year as there is a restriction to renew the account using Apple developer app using only iPhone / MacBook. Error pop-up : your purchase could not be completed / unknown error occurred.

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone from the Apple Developer support team or another developer who's been through this can help. Enrollment ID: 399HW7BF9D Support case number: 102948028772 Organization: CHARRY - INDUSTRIA E COMERCIO DE CONFECCOES LTDA Timeline so far: I received a request for identity verification documents (government-issued photo ID, employment verification letter, and a business document/CNPJ card for the organization). I submitted all three requested documents through the secure upload portal over 15 days ago. I opened a support case (102948028772) to follow up - status still shows "being processed," with no update. I sent a follow-up email to Developer Relations - no response. Checking developer.apple.com/account directly, the enrollment still shows as "being processed." At this point I've tried every channel I'm aware of (document upload, support case, email follow-up) with no response for over two weeks. This is delaying a planned app launch for our company. Has anyone else experienced a delay like this? Is there anything else I should try, or can someone from Apple please take a look at case 102948028772 / enrollment 399HW7BF9D? Thank you in advance for any guidance

I'm building my first mobile app with a developer, and I'm trying to understand the full App Store publishing process before making a decision on how to move forward. Another developer I'm considering working with instead of my current developer told me the following: "If you do it yourselves, your developer will have to learn everything for the first time. Registering a business and getting the corporate key takes about a week, getting a D-U-N-S number can take up to a month, rebuilding a web app into a mobile UI is a skill in itself, Capacitor is a skill, push notifications can be very challenging, then there's App Store compliance, submission, possible rejection and resubmission. You'll also realistically need a Mac to publish to the App Store. Overall, expect 2–3 months and well over $2,000 before you might be on the App Store." My situation is: I'm a solo founder. The app already exists as a web app. We plan to wrap/build it into a native mobile app (likely using Capacitor or a similar approach). I'm happy to publish under an individual Apple Developer account for now if that simplifies things. I don't necessarily need an organization account at this stage. My biggest priority is speed. I'm not trying to build the perfect long-term company structure right now. I want to get my app into people's hands as quickly as possible so I can validate the product, learn from real users, and iterate. If there are trade-offs that let me launch faster without creating major technical debt or problems later, I'm very open to that. I'm hoping to understand from developers who have actually been through this process: Which parts of the statement above are accurate? Which parts only apply if you're publishing as an organization rather than an individual? Is 2–3 months a realistic estimate for someone who already has a working web app and an experienced developer? If your goal was simply to get an MVP into users' hands as quickly as possible, how would you approach it? Are there any hidden hurdles or costs that first-time founders commonly underestimate? Also for better context: this developer who made this comment to me said they're charging $1100 AUD to ONLY convert our web app into a mobile app. They also proposed a $450/month retainer after the migration for maintenance, tweaks, etc. I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's published apps to the App Store recently. Thanks!

Hi , Quite new to this, I created a personal developer account, submitted documents 17 July, its been a week but im still showing pending. I tried calling up developer support but gave up after waiting for 30 mins on a call. Is this normal? Android was quite fast and well documented, ios has taken 7 working days and counting.

Hello, I am enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an Organization. My business documentation was reviewed and accepted. Apple only requested that I resubmit my driver’s license because the original image was considered damaged. I received a replacement driver’s license and uploaded it the same day Apple requested it. Since then, my enrollment has remained under review for over a week. I have contacted Apple Developer Support several times by phone and email, but I have not received any update or indication that additional information is needed. Has anyone recently experienced a similar delay after resubmitting identification during organization enrollment? If so: How long did your review take? Was there anything you did that helped move the process forward? Did Apple eventually contact you, or did the enrollment simply complete without notice? My enrollment ID is A38UF9HLAR. I appreciate any recent experiences or guidance. Thank you.

Our organization enrollment is stuck in a loop. Three support cases have gone unanswered for over two weeks. Every Organization enrollment we submit is withdrawn within minutes with: "Economy Taxi LLC is already a member of the Apple Developer Program. Companies may hold only one membership." However, no Apple ID we control shows an active or pending membership, and we have never paid the membership fee. We are the founders of the company; no one was authorized to enroll it on our behalf. Enrollment 96SX95BU73 — submitted 2026-07-26, withdrawn as duplicate Enrollment SDPP52U64L — submitted 2026-07-03, never received a decision Enrollment UY5JHTDDW6 — withdrawn as duplicate Enrollment 77KF8LDAN9 — withdrawn, no confirmation ever received Support Case 102935588343 — no response Support Case 102927937886 — no response Support Case 102946164934 — no response Could someone from the enrollment team check which account currently holds the membership tied to our organization, and either release it, tell us how to recover it, or forward our contact information to the Account Holder? We are ready to provide any verification documents and to pay immediately. Happy to share our D-U-N-S Number and legal entity details privately.

I am from India and have been trying to renew my Apple Developer Program membership for more than one month. Every payment attempt is declined. I have tried all available payment methods in India, including UPI, Visa, and Net Banking, but none of them work. My membership expired on 27 June 2026, and Apple has provided a 9-day grace period to renew it. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times by email and through the support portal, but my issue remains unresolved. Phone support is always unavailable in my region. Apple Developer Support Case ID: 102942440968 This developer account is essential for maintaining my published apps, and I am concerned that the grace period will expire before the issue is resolved. I kindly request an Apple Developer Support representative or Apple Staff to review and escalate my case as soon as possible. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, hoping someone from the team can help move this along. We're enrolling our organization in the Apple Developer Program. Apple's identity verification team requested additional documents — government-issued photo ID, employment verification, and a business document — which we submitted on July 20 through the file-upload portal referenced in that request. We haven't heard anything since. Enrollment ID: 3RQBS82JYP Happy to provide anything further if needed — just looking for a status update or next steps. Thanks in advance.

My individual Apple Developer Program enrollment has failed to complete across three separate attempts and I'm hoping a staff member can help escalate. I submitted enrollment on 26 June, 3 July, and 20 July 2026. Each time I received an Order Acknowledgement email promising processing within 2 business days, but on every attempt the enrollment never activated and my card was never charged. I've had no follow-up emails and no request for identity documents at any point. I've now filed a support case (Case ID: 102948141803) and would like to avoid submitting a fourth attempt in case it creates further conflicting pending orders. Could a staff member please review the pending enrollment orders on my account, consolidate them, and escalate to the enrollment team for manual review and activation? Happy to provide any verification needed. Thank you.

Hi I enrolled in the Apple Developer program 2 months ago and immediately upon enrolling, I requested a migration from an individual to an organisation membership. This processed has significantly delayed the publication of my apps. I have received 2 case numbers with the latest being case ID 102933236128. I have received emails stating that I have a developer support team member who is assisting me but I have to wait for days on end to receive feedback to my emails and I have yet to receive any feedback to message sent using the Apple Support Messaging Link. May someone please advise on: How to expedite my migration process that still shows as in progress? Any other way I can contact the developer support team member assigned to my case number? Thanks.

Hi all, My Individual enrollment (Turkey) got stuck after ID verification — instead of payment I got "Please contact us to continue your enrollment." I submitted the contact form days ago but haven't heard back yet. Has anyone gotten unstuck from this? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I completed the €99 payment for my Apple Developer Program enrollment six days ago, but the status is still Pending, even though Apple says processing may take up to 48 hours. The money has been debited, and I received the receipt, but my account has not been activated. I also opened a support case and received no reply. Today, I requested a callback through the "Get more help" form. Apple called me, but after I answered, I was left waiting for more than four hours without ever being connected to a support representative. This delay and lack of support are extremely frustrating and unacceptable for a paid service. How do I get this resolved?

Hi .. hope everyone is good. I applied for the Apple Developer Program, first I sent my ID card, got approved and they asked me to continue the enrollment, I continued, added my card, paid, everything is good so far, my status now is "Pending" I've been waiting for almost +10 days, and I really need to finish my app, by adding "Sign in with Apple", "Apple Pay", and Submit my app, I have so much work to do, Please just someone Review my Account. I got no replay in my case from support: Case ID: 102942619562 I'd really appreciate any advice. Thank you!

Hey everyone, running into a frustrating loop with Apple Account enrollment and hoping someone has a workaround.Last year, we applied for an organization account and got an Enrollment ID. We didn't finish the process. Now, a year later, I am trying to complete it. I am logged into the exact same Apple Account email we used last year.When I try to submit the organization form, it throws a hard error saying our company is already registered with another Apple ID. It seems our D-U-N-S number is locked to last year's "pending" state, but because a year passed, the system is viewing our current attempt as a duplicate instead of a continuation.I've sent an email to developer support, but has anyone dealt with this exact error before? Is there a way to force the dashboard to show the old pending enrollment instead of the "Enroll Now" screen? Any advice on how to get Apple to quickly unlock a stuck D-U-N-S number would be amazing. Thanks!

I submitted my Apple Developer Program enrollment application for my organization about a month ago. The account page still shows "Your enrollment is being processed" with no change in status since then. I have not received any email regarding the status — no approval, rejection, or request for additional information. I checked spam/junk folders as well, nothing found there. I tried using the "Contact Us" form on developer.apple.com/support under Membership and Account > Program Enrollment, but I get this error when submitting: "You are not allowed to perform this operation. Please check with one of your Team Admins, or, if you need further assistance, please contact Apple Developer Program Support." I also tried "Request a Call" but haven't been able to connect with anyone, and general Apple Support says they cannot help with developer enrollment issues. Has anyone else faced a similar situation? How were you able to get an update or resolve it? Any guidance on the right way to reach Developer Program Support when the contact form itself is blocked would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hello, We are facing a critical issue with Apple Developer Program enrollment and would appreciate any guidance from developers who may have experienced something similar. Our organization is newly established. We obtained a new D-U-N-S Number specifically for enrolling in the Apple Developer Program. However, every time we attempt to enroll as an organization, Apple immediately withdraws the enrollment with the following message: "We've withdrawn this enrollment because [our organization] is already a member of the Apple Developer Program. Companies may hold only one membership in the Apple Developer Program. To be added to your development team, please contact the Account Holder for your company's existing membership. If you don't know who the Account Holder is contact us." The problem is that we have thoroughly verified internally: No Apple ID within our organization is enrolled in the Apple Developer Program. Our D-U-N-S Number has never been used by our organization for Apple Developer Program enrollment. We have thoroughly verified this across our organization, and there is no existing Apple Developer Program membership associated with our company. We contacted Apple Developer Support and explained the situation in detail, including confirming that we have no existing membership. The response we received was: "If you don't know who the Account Holder is, please provide your contact information. I'll forward it to the Account Holder at your request. Note that we can't guarantee a response from the current Account Holder." The issue is that we do not know who this supposed Account Holder is because, to the best of our knowledge, no such account exists within our organization. Since then: We have submitted multiple support requests. We have replied to the support emails with additional information. We have tried contacting Developer Support by phone. We have not received any further response for the past 6 days. This issue is blocking our business because we cannot publish our iOS application until the enrollment problem is resolved. Has anyone experienced a similar situation where Apple incorrectly reported that an organization already had an Apple Developer Program membership? If so: How was the issue resolved? Was there a specific team within Apple that handled it? Is there any escalation path beyond the standard Developer Support process? Any advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my Apple Developer Program membership and App Store Connect access. My Apple Developer Program membership appears to be active. I received confirmation from Apple that the membership was approved and that the payment was successfully processed. However, when I try to sign in to App Store Connect with the same Apple Account, after completing two-factor authentication, I still get this message: “To access App Store Connect, you must be an individual or team member in the Apple Developer Program, or invited by an individual to access their content in App Store Connect.” It has been nearly a week since the payment settled at my bank, but App Store Connect still does not recognize my account. I contacted Apple Developer Support several times, but only received a canned response that only confirmed the advisor didn't actually read my ticket, and walked me through the purchase process. I've already paid. I'm already enrolled. I just have no access to my account. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there an additional activation step, account linking issue, or App Store Connect setup step that I might be missing? I would really appreciate any advice from the community or any Apple Support Advisors that may be seeing this. Thank you.

Hello Apple Developer Support and moderators, My individual enrollment has been stuck in "Pending" despite completed payment and confirmed documents. I would greatly appreciate a manual review by the Enrollment team, or at least an ETA. Timeline: July 1, 2026 — Paid the $99 membership fee. Invoice: MC83638630. Payment confirmed and charged. July 3, 2026 — Received email "We received your documents" from Apple Developer Relations, stating I would be followed up with "within two business days." July 8 — It has now been three business days past that promise with no response. I also replied to my support case (102931827245) on July 8, but have not heard back. What I have already checked: Spam / Junk / Promotions folders — clean Apple ID primary email verified and matches the receipt Two-factor authentication enabled Signed out and back in to developer.apple.com — still "Pending" I have NOT clicked "complete your purchase" again to avoid a duplicate charge, since the first payment was already processed. Enrollment case: 102931827245 Invoice: MC83638630 The payment, documents, and enrollment status appear disconnected in the system. Could the Enrollment team please take a look and help finalize the activation? I'm happy to provide any additional verification needed. Thank you.
