A lot of us seem to be having issues with Apple Developer Program enrollment. We paid, and then got stuck. I’ve been waiting 4 days without any response so far, which honestly seems mild compared to some others here. A lot of people are opening separate threads about this, and I’m sure many more are not posting at all. At some point these issues will probably get resolved, and it would be really helpful for others to know how long it actually took. So if your case was resolved, please leave a comment with how long it took and whether you did anything that helped move it forward. Common Patterns: Support is not responsive. Emails often go unanswered. My guess is they’re overwhelmed and heavily delayed. They may eventually get back to you, but don’t expect quick replies. Apple is not very active here either. I couldn’t find any reply from an Apple representative on this issue in the last two weeks. There used to be a phone number people could call, but apparently that is no longer the case. If you call regular Apple Support, they’ll usually tell you they can’t help and that there is no phone support for Developer Program. Enrolling through the website seems to take longer. From what people report, this is because Apple requires identity verification through the app, but for some reason does not make that clear on the website. “Second payment” - if your payment went through successfully, the Apple Developer site may still ask you to pay again. Don’t do it. You may end up paying twice. If you already received an invoice, do not make a second payment. If you already paid and got an invoice, don’t cancel your enrollment just to try again through the app. From what people report, that does not help. Some people report payment failures. If that happens, it may not be your fault. You can try a different payment method, but if it still fails, there’s a good chance the issue is on Apple’s side. Contact support. Some people wait for weeks without any response, so be prepared for that possibility.

Hello, I’ve enrolled in the Apple Developer Program for over 3 days now, and my enrollment is still pending. I have tried Apple Developer Program Support but, no response. How long does it usually take for my enrollment to be accepte? Especially for someone outside of the US. Thanks.

Hi, I’m enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an individual from Albania. I completed the purchase through the Apple Developer app on iPhone. My credit card was charged, and I already received Apple’s invoice, but my account is still not activated after 5 days. In the app, I saw a message saying a confirmation email would be sent. On the website, when I log in with the same Apple Account, it still shows “Proceed with Purchase.” I already contacted Apple Developer Support and opened a case, but I have not received a response yet. Has anyone had the same issue after payment was already charged and invoiced? Thank you.

I bought the developer program 2 weeks ago, have been charged, and still am pending and have not been accepted, or heard anything back. I have submitted 2 tickets, haven't heard anything either, as well as called and was told there's nothing I can do. Any tips for next steps? Or anything else I can do?

Hi Apple Developer Support team, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and completed payment on March 25, 2026. My account has remained on Pending status since then (2+ days). Details: • Invoice: MC60396668 • Order: D009545594 • Case ID: 30000003428051 • Country: Indonesia I never received an enrollment confirmation/verification email, only the invoice receipt. I also accidentally submitted a second purchase today — please check for duplicate charges. Could anyone from Apple assist in resolving this? Thank you.

stuck on apple's developers enrollment, without any answer for 10 days, i sent after that 3 support emails, again with no answer there is no available phone number on the site, please help

regarding Enrollment ID 5UU6P6TKR6 (Case Number 102837952198). Our migration process was recently closed because a Developer Support Senior Advisor falsely claimed that our company website was inaccessible. The website is fully operational. We urgently request that you reopen our migration process to resolve this error.

Hi, Please process a refund, as I do not wish to continue with the Apple Developer Program for this year. The subscription was automatically billed starting 20 March 2027 via my personal service provider / Maxis billing account, whereas it should have been charged to my company credit card instead. Kindly assist in resolving this matter. You may contact me or email.

Hi everyone, I'm completely stuck in an enrollment loop and developer support emails have gone unanswered for a week. Hoping an Apple engineer here can flag my account to get this cleared. The Issue: I attempted to enroll in the Apple Developer Program via the web portal (from Israel). The payment went into a "pending" limbo state. It has been a week, my card was never charged, and the enrollment is just stuck. I tried the recommended workaround of finishing the enrollment via the Apple Developer App on my Mac/iPhone. The app blocks me with the error: "Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account. Visit http://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/." I am now caught in a loop where the web portal is frozen waiting for a ghost payment, and the app refuses to let me restart the process. I am trying to launch a SaaS application and this backend bug is completely blocking my deployment schedule. Has anyone found a way to force-cancel a pending web enrollment so I can start fresh, or is there an Apple rep here who can look into my Apple ID and clear the block?

"Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." I have an open ticket with Apple Support, but getting a reply from 'Bernardo' is taking forever. Anybody else in the same situation?

I will keep posting this every week because I simply cannot wait anymore. 7 weeks of waiting is way too much. To me, it is absolute madness in 2026 to wait for months, especially when my passport/ID was successfully verified back in week 1 or 2. To make matters worse, I can't even call the support hotline because the phone option is unavailable and the email assistants only reply with the same automated templates. P.S. If by some miracle Apple Support reads this post or rather, this cry from the soul - and actually wants to help, I have already created two support tickets. Here are the case numbers: 20000109972460 20000109363371

I have already paid the 99 USD for the enrollment, that was 8 days ago, I don't understand what is happening on the page it says that everything is managed in 48 hours... is there a problem? Additionally, I have generated a claim in Apple Support with caseID 102850171298 4 days ago, and it was not responded to in any way. I'm a little angry, it's not a cheap service and I have to work.

I received the email confirming that I paid for my Apple account, but my account was never unlocked. I’ve already sent emails and requested phone support, but I haven’t been able to get help through any of these methods. I paid with my Visa card. Does anyone know what to do? Has anyone experienced this?

I paid my subscription from mobile but it's been more than a week and I haven't been able to make it work, I received the email confirmation and if I look at the subscriptions it is there but the developer.apple.com dashbards is asking me to pay again?

Hello everyone, I am looking for advice from anyone who has experience with Apple Developer account setup across countries. My Apple account is currently associated with the United States, but I live in Germany and would like my Apple Developer setup to be associated with Germany for tax and administrative reasons. At the moment, I have not enrolled yet in the Apple Developer Program, because I am hesitant to proceed while the account is still tied to the U.S. I want to avoid creating complications later around tax information, billing or account maintenance. My app is essentially ready, so I am trying to make the right decision before enrolling. I would really appreciate guidance on a few points: Has anyone enrolled first and then later changed the country association successfully? Is it better to update the Apple account to Germany before joining the Developer Program? For developers based in Germany, did Apple require anything specific for tax or identity verification? Would enrolling with the account still associated with the U.S. create problems later for App Store Connect, payments or tax forms? I contacted Apple Support on March 21st to clarify this, but I have not yet received a response, so I thought I would ask here in case others have gone through the same process. Any advice or shared experience would be very helpful. Thank you!

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on March 22, 2026 and the payment has already been successfully charged. I also received an invoice the next day (March 23, 2026). However, my account is still not activated, and the system continues to prompt me to complete the enrollment or make the payment again. Is this a normal delay in activation? How long does it usually take for the account to be activated after payment? Do I need to take any additional steps, or should I contact support directly? Thank you for your assistance.

realice un pago para el apple developer program. el cual ya fue cargado el cobro y aprobado por el banco pero no recibo autorización o respuestas de apple solo envían un link para que les envié un correo nuevamente dejándome en un circulo infinito de NADA, al borde de una demanda por parte de los inversionistas que están financiando la app en desarrollo. aunque la atencion por parte del call center es buena no pueden resolver los problemas solo me cambian entre departamentos

Subject: Unable to Complete Apple Developer Registration – No Clear Reason Provided Hello, I am currently trying to register for an Apple Developer account, but I keep receiving the following response: "We are unable to process your enrollment for one or more reasons." I contacted support to ask for the specific reason, but the reply I received was exactly the same message: "We are unable to process your enrollment for one or more reasons." According to the emails and support responses, I am unable to get any clear explanation or solution. The app directs me to contact customer service, but customer service only repeats the same message, which makes it impossible to resolve the issue. At this point, I personally cannot think of any possible reason that would cause this problem. Even after reaching out multiple times, including to senior support staff, I still receive the same generic response without any details. This situation feels completely blocked with no way forward. I would like to ask: Is there any way to find out the specific reason for the rejection? Are there any steps I can take to resolve this issue and successfully complete the registration? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My Apple Developer account was registered with a company Gmail address that has since been permanently deleted. Now when I try to log in, I reach the 2FA step but the verification code is no longer sent to my registered phone number. I am completely locked out. Has anyone experienced this or knows how to contact Apple to recover access?
