Apple Developer Program Enrollment – Identity Verification Pending for Over 2 Weeks
Hello, I am writing to ask whether this delay is normal or if anyone has experienced a similar situation. I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and completed the annual payment on February 4, 2026. On February 10, I received an email requesting identity verification. I uploaded the front side of my ID on February 11 through the official verification link. Since then, I have not received any confirmation or status update. On February 15, I contacted Developer Support through the website. The support page indicates that responses are usually provided within two days. However, I have not received any reply yet. I also chose the call option and was advised to wait a few more days. On February 20, I followed up again under the same case. As of today (February 25), my enrollment is still pending and I have not received any update. Has anyone recently experienced a similar delay in identity verification? Is this timeframe considered normal? Thank you.

Not able to renew membership
You can still renew your membership within the next 8 days and your apps will remain available on the App Store during this time. Open the Apple Developer app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Sign in to your account, tap/click Renew, and follow the prompts. I'm getting this message but renew button is not visible in Developer App or on website. How to to renew?

Apple Developer Program enrollment “could not be completed at this time” — does this eventually get resolved?
Hello everyone, I’m currently trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I received the message: “Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” I contacted Apple Developer Program Support and received a case ID, but so far I haven’t received clear guidance on what specifically needs to be fixed or verified. I’ve checked the following already: Apple ID information matches my legal identity Two-factor authentication is enabled Payment method is valid Address and country details are correct I’ve noticed several similar reports in the forums and even blog posts describing long delays or no resolution, so I wanted to ask developers who experienced this: Did your enrollment eventually get approved after waiting? Did Apple ever explain the issue? Is it better to wait for support to resolve the case, or create a new Apple ID and restart the enrollment process? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences or any steps that helped resolve this. Thank you!

“Too many verification codes sent” error – 2FA SMS never arrives on standard login
Hello everyone, I’m running into an issue when logging into my Apple Developer account on the official site. After entering my Apple ID and password, I immediately see: too many verification codes sent At this point I should receive a 6-digit 2FA code via SMS to my trusted phone number, but nothing ever arrives. I’ve waited from one to seven days and tried again, but I still get the same error and still no SMS. I’ve double-checked that: My trusted phone number is correct in my Apple ID settings. My carrier isn’t blocking or rate-limiting SMS messages. Steps to reproduce: Go to developer.apple.com and click “Sign In.” Enter Apple ID and password. Submit credentials → immediately see “too many verification codes sent.” No SMS arrives. Retrying doesn’t help. Expected behavior: Apple sends a new 6-digit 2FA SMS to my trusted number. After entering it, I can complete the login flow. Actual behavior: I receive the “too many verification codes sent” message instantly. I never get the SMS code, even after waiting or retrying. Has anyone else experienced this on the standard Developer portal? Is there a way to clear the “too many verification codes sent” flag or otherwise force delivery of the 2FA SMS? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Apple Developer Organization Enrollment (US LLC) — What does Apple usually request at final verification?
Hi, I’m currently migrating an Apple Developer account from Individual to Organization (US LLC). Apple says the enrollment is under review and they’re verifying authority to sign legal agreements. From your experience, what does Apple usually ask for at this stage — EIN, Articles, DBA, or do they usually just approve it?

Developer Program Enrollment Code Marked as Already Redeemed
I’m having issues enrolling in the Apple Developer Program. My original Apple ID was unable to enroll due to an internal restriction, and after multiple calls with Support (including L2), I was advised to create a new Apple ID and use the same enrollment code I was awarded for being selected as a Swift Student Challenge 2025 winner. However, when I attempt to redeem the code with the new account, I receive an error stating that the code has already been redeemed. I have never successfully enrolled with the original account, so the code should not be marked as used. I’ve tried working through Support several times, but I’m still stuck. Could someone please review this issue or issue a new code so I can complete my enrollment? Thank you in advance for your help.

No response about apple developer program after payment
I'm based in Belarus and have been trying to reach Apple Support for over a week with no response. I paid for the Apple Developer Program about a week and a half ago—the payment was processed, but I haven't seen any results or confirmation. They asked me to submit ID documents, so I sent a photo of my passport. Since then, I haven’t received any updates. I’m not sure how to get through to support to either confirm the status of my purchase or issue a refund. Thanks for your attention.

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.

Unable to Renew Developer Membership
This really shouldn't be this difficult. Here's the situation: We had a card linked to our Apple Developer account, which expired. It had already seen 2 successful membership purchases. We had auto-renewal turned on for the membership, which failed due to the expired card. I was unable to capture new payment details for about 2 days (battling with various Apple payment pages to get the new card added). But finally managed to do so. Now, there is no way to disable auto-renewal, and no way to trigger renewal. The membership is in expired status. We can't post updates, we can't take apps live. We have several clients eagerly awaiting publication of their apps. And Apple Support has been silent for over two weeks despite numerous requests. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this? I've tried almost every option described on every forum post.

Enrollment Stuck in "Processing" for Organization
Hello everyone, I’m currently enrolling as an Organization from Albania and I’ve been stuck on the "Enrolling" status for 8 business days now. I have my D-U-N-S number sorted and everything was submitted. I sent an email last week to the support but I haven't heard back yet. I’ve already sent another support message 2 days ago but no reply so far. I’m curious to hear from others who have enrolled recently (especially in 2026): How long did your organization verification take? Did you receive a verification phone call, or was it just approved via email? For those in the Balkans/Europe, did you have to provide extra local business registry documents (like the QKB extract) manually? I’m trying to time my launch with my Google Play release, so I’m a bit anxious about the "black hole" of waiting. Any experiences or "nudge" tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Communication problems with Apple
Hello, About 7-8 months ago, I received an e-mail stating that my apple developer account would be deleted after 30 days, and my account was deleted after 30 days. I tried to contact many times, I got hopeful each time, but the Apple team never gave a full explanation. They always responded saying they would be interested, but it never came to fruition. In fact, I was most excited when I received the following e-mail: Hello Oğuzcan, My name is Joel, and I’m a senior Advisor with Developer Support. Your case has been given to me for further handling, and I’m happy to follow up with you today. I understand that you have initiated a conversation in our developer forums. Please, provide us more information and show us the email that you received, so we will assist your better. Please, reply to the received email for obtaining more information as the appropriate team will be able to assist you better. Please, reply to this email if you have further questions. Have a great day. Best Regards, Joel Developer Support I was very hopeful when I read that he was a Senior Advisor. This e-mail came on July 28, 18:17, today is December 8, 2025. I'm giving up hope now, my account won't be opened again. My members ask why there are no iOS versions of my applications, this is very difficult for me. Does anyone have any recommendations? I filled out forms and created requests many times.
