Can Apple Developer relations please reconsider my application to attend the workshop July 29-31 in Cupertino. As someone on the forefront of AI and solo engineer, getting guidance on launching alongside IOS26 would be really helpful. The unknowns of testing and distribution are a bit difficult to overcome.
I do not have 2-5 person team. Its just me.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hello,
My Apple Developer account has been locked for over a month, but I do not know the reason for the block. I have submitted multiple requests for assistance via this form and other channels, but I have not received any response.
Could you please advise what steps I should take to resolve this issue?
Is there another contact or department I can reach out to for help with unlocking my developer account?
Thank you for your support.

My Apple Developer membership has expired and as a result I can't publish app updates and my app is no longer visible on the App Store.
I'm trying my best to renew my membership, but there is no "Renew" button where it should be, as reported by multiple sources from Apple.
I've tried web, the Developer on macOS, the Developer app on iOS, but there is nowhere a "Renew" button to be found. If I login with another (old) account I can see the renew button where there is none on my other account.
I've contacted Apple Developer support, but they are not responding. Seems like I'm stuck.
Does anyone have experience with this particular problem? How did you solve this problem?
Hi everyone,
I just noticed that my subscription to the Apple Developer Program was automatically renewed, but we’re currently not using it and had no plans to continue the subscription.
I didn’t intend to renew and would like to request a full refund for the recent charge. I’ve submitted a message through the official support channel, but I’m posting here as well in case anyone has experienced something similar or can guide me on how long the refund process usually takes.
Would really appreciate any advice or insights from the community or Apple staff.
Thanks in advance!

Dear Apple Support Team,
I am writing to urgently request attention and a clear resolution timeline regarding a critical issue with my Apple Developer Account, which has been ongoing since June 18, 2025.
Despite acknowledging that the issue is caused by a backend bug related to the Developer Program contract, and after ticket number 102625528685 was opened, there has been no meaningful progress or timeline provided. My account is currently restricted in a way that prevents me from:
Submitting new apps
Sending apps for review or updates
Creating or managing subscriptions
Fully using App Store Connect features
For nearly a month now, I have only received generic replies saying that “engineering is investigating.” However, there have been no updates, no estimated timelines, and no temporary solutions offered.
This issue is seriously impacting my work and business operations. I am kindly requesting that a senior support representative or engineer directly review this case and provide:
A clear explanation of the root cause
A realistic timeframe for a solution
An interim workaround if the final fix will take more time
Please escalate this matter urgently, as my business has already suffered due to this extended delay. I appreciate your understanding and hope to receive a concrete update as soon as possible.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Soheil

I recently had to update my certificates for a project. I deleted a few old ones, and I currently have one Development certificate. I needed to create another Development certificate specifically, it's saying "Maximum number of certificates generated." I thought the maximum was two Development certificates? Has anyone else had this issue? Thinking it could be a stuck workflow or something like that.

I submitted a mac app for Notarization.
For the first few tries the Notarization failed with an error "Team is not yet configured for Notarization" but few days after my account started to show "ENROLL" option again even though my membership was set to expire on 2026.
I am doubting my account has been suspended.
I have not received any emails from apple regarding the suspension.
I have contacted support but no help yet !
This was the second year, i was paying for the membership.
Could you please help me to -
Help me get the account unsuspended (if it is, as there is no notification or information regarding this)
If the account is suspended due to my app being submitted for Notarization then help me identify the reason so that i can fix them.
Mac App is Time Tracking application that runs in background and capture periodic screenshot backlsh.com (NOTE - I am doing this after taking user consent)
Hello, our
account was closed months ago. I have made a great effort to get a response by filling out all the forms, especially Apple Turkey, but months have passed and I have not reached a conclusion.
We created a developer account and opened a developer account for our company with the help of duns. After opening the account, we published our application and suddenly our developer account was closed. Since our developer account was our main account, we could not fully control our application. We would like to know why the closed account was closed, how we can change our main account using our company information or how to open our closed account.
We really wasted a lot of time with developer support and turkey support team and got no help!
How can we solve this problem?
I’m extremely disappointed with the Apple Developer Program experience.
Our organization account (JD SOFTWARE PRIVATE LIMITED) expired on October 26, 2024, and to this day, there is no visible option to renew — not in the Apple Developer app (iOS/Mac), not on the developer website. We've followed every instruction Apple provides, and nothing works.
To make things worse, I’m based in India, but Apple’s support is clearly U.S.-centered and unresponsive. I contacted support and got a canned response asking me to wait 24 hours. Why does a global company like Apple not provide time zone–relevant or regional developer support? This isn’t a minor inconvenience—it’s a major business disruption.
Our apps are unavailable, and we can’t push updates. And yet we’re met with silence and confusion when we try to give Apple more money to renew our account.
Apple enforces the strictest guidelines on developers, yet offers no proper channel to resolve something as basic as account renewal. It’s absurd. We’re now being forced to consider alternative app stores and distribution platforms—not because we want to leave, but because Apple is making it impossible to stay.
Apple, please fix this. Developers outside the U.S. deserve better.

As the title states, and it’s extremely frustrating. The floating bar that now appears above the keyboard is cool compared to the built in bar, though it seems to only work when it feels like it. Also the screen seems to have a haze around it, sometimes I cannot read whats needed because of it being blurred and it won’t allow me to navigate to certain things due to the haze being there too.
Any way of rolling back my update and going back to my previous iOS?
Hi everyone,
My Apple Developer Program subscription was supposed to renew last month, but the payment failed. Surprisingly, the subscription didn’t expire right away, I got an extra month.
I’ve now tried updating the payment method using multiple credit/debit cards (including my own and my dad’s), all of which are working perfectly elsewhere but the payment continues to fail.
In the Developer app on macOS, I don’t see any option to manually renew the subscription (see attached screenshot).
I also noticed that the street address on my developer account doesn’t match the billing address of the card I’m using. Could this be the cause of the issue?
If automatic renewal fails, is there a manual payment method available?
I’ve already contacted Apple Support, but the solutions they suggested haven’t worked. With my subscription now set to expire in just 3 days, I’m running out of time and options.
If there's any way to manually pay or resolve this, I would really appreciate it. I’m in a desperate situation and need to renew to keep my app updates live.
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
I'm currently facing an issue with the Apple Developer Program. I received a notification stating:
"The Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been updated and needs to be reviewed. In order to update your existing apps and submit new apps, the Account Holder must review and accept the updated agreement by signing in to their account."
However, when I sign in to developer.apple.com/account, or https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/business I don’t see any prompt or option to agree to the updated agreement. I’ve tried multiple browsers, cleared cache, and ensured I’m logged in as the Account Holder, but still no luck. I want to update my app, but I'm not able to because of this issue.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a direct link or a specific section in the dashboard where this agreement usually appears?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi folks,
I bought a apple developer program two weeks back. I have got the enrollment ID but it says it is still in review. Is two weeks the standard time or is there anything I have to do from my side.
Hello,
I'm reaching out to see if anyone has experienced a similar issue and can share any advice.
We submitted our Apple Developer Program enrollment nearly three months ago, and the status has remained “In Review” ever since. We've contacted Apple Support several times by email, but all the responses have been generic – simply stating that the application is still under review, with no indication of what's causing the delay.
To clarify:
Our company is legally registered in Saint Vincent, but our development operations and team are based in the Philippines, which is also where the enrollment was submitted.
We have no unresolved communications or pending documentation requests from Apple.
This extended delay is starting to affect our business operations.
Has anyone else experienced such a long review time?
Were you able to escalate the issue successfully or get a more specific response from Apple?
Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I tried to enroll in the Apple Developer Program nearly two months ago. Initially, I had issues using both the website and the Developer app on Mac/iPhone to complete the process.
After contacting Apple Developer Support, I was told that they don't accept EU residence permits through the automatic system, only national ID cards or a driver’s license, which I don’t have, as a few years ago I relocated from a 3rd world non-EU country. But they said this can be reviewed manually.
Eventually, Apple Support provided me with a link to upload my passport and residence permit photos. I submitted them right away, but it’s now been 39 days with no progress. I followed up multiple times.. after 10 days, 3 weeks, and again just recently, and each time I’m told my documents are still under review, with no ETA or further details.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is there anything else I can do to move this forward, or is it just a matter of waiting indefinitely?
Thanks in advance for any advice or insight.

Hello,
I’m an individual developer who received a termination notice for my Apple Developer account almost 30 days ago. I have submitted multiple appeals through the official App Review Board form and follow-ups through Developer Support, but I haven’t received any response.
I’ve done everything possible to comply, including acknowledging any concerns raised and confirming that I will not repeat any mistakes. I’ve also stopped distribution of the app in question and committed to focus only on compliant development moving forward.
With the 30-day deadline approaching and no answer, I’m extremely concerned and frustrated. I’m asking here because I have no other channel left to get a human response or confirmation that my appeals are being reviewed.
I understand the importance of Apple’s rules, and I fully support fair enforcement. But complete silence in such a critical matter is very hard to handle for a small developer.
If anyone from Apple sees this, please help escalate the case or provide guidance. I just want a fair chance to continue working within the platform.
Thank you.
Hi everyone,
I'm stuck in Apple's account migration process and could use some advice from those who've been through this.
My situation:
Submitted individual → organization migration request
Got initial response from Apple on June 15 (case #102620626191)
Confirmed to proceed immediately
Radio silence for 4+ days since then
Key details:
No existing apps or certificates to preserve
Have a finished app ready to publish under business name ASAP
Already have D-U-N-S number and LLC setup
My question:
Should I start a fresh organization account application in parallel, or will that cause conflicts since it's the same LLC/D-U-N-S number?
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did creating a new org account end up being faster than waiting for the migration to complete?
Any insights on typical timelines for both processes would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I’ve been trying to pay for Apple Developer Program enrollment since decemeber 2024 so now in June 2025 - 6 months of no solutions
We have tried all everything, emailed every possible support on developer website, tried mutliple cards and accounts, withdraw enrolment, re-enroll nothing.
We even spoke to local Apple Head Office to try and get help to no avail.
Customer senior management support even could not help or escalate nothing –
But I don’t know what’s really going on or what to do next
PLEASE HELP US
