I’m looking for some insight regarding the Apple Developer Program enrollment. I completed my payment (649 TL) 3 days ago, and my account status is still showing as "Pending." I have already ensured that my Apple ID name (Ulaş Cem Budak) matches my legal ID perfectly. However, I haven't received any activation email or requests for further documentation yet. Is a 3-day (or longer) wait normal for the initial activation in 2026? Should I continue to wait, or is it better to contact support via phone at this stage? Any advice from those who recently enrolled would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I’m currently experiencing a major issue while migrating my Apple Developer account from an Individual account to an Organization account. The migration process has been ongoing for more than 3 weeks, and during this transition: My app release is delayed. I am unable to submit updates. I also cannot use the old (individual) account normally because it appears to be locked in this transition state. This situation is critically affecting our product launch timeline. We already provided all requested documentation, including D-U-N-S verification and company details. However, the account status remains in transition, and no clear timeline has been provided. My main concerns: Is it normal for this migration to take more than 3 weeks? Is there any way to temporarily regain publishing capability while the migration is processed? Is there a specific escalation channel for cases where the transition blocks production releases? Case IDs: Case ID: 102820894024 Case ID: 2000010840072 We have an upcoming app launch depending on this migration, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have completed the payment for my Apple Developer membership but my order (W1388955794) is still showing as pending. Could you pls review and confirm the payment. Thanks

I have been waiting 8 days for a response regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I submitted a support request on Feb 18, 2026 and sent a follow-up on Feb 23 — both times I only received automated replies. Case ID: 102824778431 Please escalate this case. It is blocking my app development. Thank you.

I have issue related to apple developer program registration. Our company registered with one mail I'd with apple developer at few years back. Now the account was disabled. We are unable to access it even we have DUNS with us. We have requested many times to delete or replace the account with other email. But support team ask not possible to update. Support team suggest to create email with different domain. As per suggestion We have created domai. Now we tried to enroll with new account. But we are unable to register we raised query on 19 Feb. Not yet received any response. Kindly suggest how to solve issue.

So I started an LLC and will be getting into app development on apple, but I am still waiting on my DUNS number. If I sign up for a personal account now, am I later able to switch over to an organization account easily using the same account? Or should I wait until I receive my DUNS number?

Hello, Our company’s Apple Developer Program enrollment was cancelled/declined without a clear reason, and no representative has explained why. Based on my last conversation with Apple Support, I suspect it was related to my passport photo. My appearance has changed significantly since that photo (about a 20 kg difference). My enrollment was declined on January 9. On January 12, I applied for a new passport with an updated photo, and I received it on January 20. Since then, I’ve been trying to reach an Apple representative to continue the process, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to. Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

Hello, I am trying to transfer the Account Holder role to a different person on our team, but I am stuck in a loop. Despite the recipient being an active Admin on the team for some time, their name does not appear in the "Choose a Candidate" dropdown menu on the Apple Developer website. Here is our current setup and what we have tried: Recipient Role: The person I am transferring to is already an Admin (verified in Users and Access). Security: 2FA is enabled and active on the recipient’s Apple ID. Account Type: This is for an Organization/Company membership. The Issue: When I (the current Account Holder) go to Membership Details > Update Your Information > Transfer Account Holder Role, the candidate list is empty or does not show this specific Admin. We have investigated the Identity Verification requirement, but hit a dead end: The recipient logged into the Apple Developer app on an iPhone (signed into the same Apple ID and primary iCloud account on the device). In the Account tab, there is no "Verify Identity" button visible. The options visible are only: Create Profile, Notifications, Enroll Now, and Sign Out. We have already tried "Create Profile," but it did not trigger an ID scan or resolve the visibility issue in the transfer list. Questions: Does the recipient need to click "Enroll Now" and start a $99 membership application just to trigger the identity verification, even if they are joining an existing organization? Could the use of a personal email domain (@hotmail.com) for the Admin Apple ID be filtering them out of the "Candidate" list for an Organization account? Are there any specific steps to "force" the Identity Verification button to appear in the app for an existing Admin? Any guidance on how to get the Admin's identity verified so they appear as an eligible candidate would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on Tuesday evening, November 4th, 2025. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership”. It’s now been several days, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information. I already contacted Apple Support by email, but I’d like to know if other developers have experienced the same situation and how long it took before their account was activated. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback! — Martin

I have subscribed to the Apple developer program on feb 22. I have contacted the support team and mailed two Times in last two days. the account shows pending but the email and the order page Says activation sent electronically. but I haven't got email regarding that.

Hello, I’m writing this here because I’m honestly stuck and unable to reach anyone through official support channels. Order Number: W1466057949 Order Date: 18/02/2026 Case ID: 102824542025 My payment was successfully approved and processed by my bank. The amount has been fully charged. However, my Apple Developer account has still not been activated. I opened a support ticket immediately after noticing the issue. It has now been 6 days, and I have received absolutely no response. There is no active support in Turkey for this issue. When I try calling the Ireland support number, I can only reach an automated system — there is no way to speak to a real person. I currently have no direct contact channel to resolve this. This situation is blocking my development work and causing serious delays. I have completed my payment in good faith, yet I cannot access the service I paid for, and I cannot reach anyone for assistance. If anyone has experienced a similar issue or knows how to escalate this properly, I would greatly appreciate guidance. Thank you.

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and completed the payment successfully. I have already received the payment confirmation and invoice via email. However, my account status is still showing as “Pending”, and it has not been activated yet. It has been more than 5 days since the payment was completed. I have not received any additional instructions or requests for documents. Has anyone experienced a similar delay? Is there anything else I need to do to complete the activation process? This is quite urgent for me as I need to publish my app on the App Store. Thank you in advance for your help.

There has been quite a bit of posts mentioning this. Enrolled to the developer program, paid and money has cleared but absolutely no communication from apple on status or progress at all. Status still show pending and still prompting to complete a purchase. It's quite a terrible experience. If there are delays, is it possible to communicate what the delays are? If there is any progress, is it possible to communicate this progress? Only other option I had was - contact support, which stated I will receive a response in less than 48 hours as well, but that promise is broken too. Is there anyone from support that can assist?

Hello everyone, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on February 19th through the Apple Developer App. I completed my payment using mobile carrier billing and successfully uploaded my ID documents for identity verification. However, my account status is still showing as "Pending". I opened a support ticket regarding this issue on February 21st, but I haven't received any response yet. Since it has been 5 days and I am eager to proceed with my work, I wanted to ask if this delay is normal for carrier billing enrollments? Is there any additional step I need to take, or a way to expedite this manual review process? Any advice or help from the community or Apple staff would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I am seeking assistance with a stuck enrollment for the Apple Developer Program (Individual). I paid the annual fee on January 7th and have an active subscription shown in my App Store (renews Jan 8, 2027), but my developer account remains inactive. The Issue: I received an email on January 12th asking me to verify my identity. When I click the "Upload ID" link provided in that official email, I am met with this error: "Sorry, you don't have access. Your account isn't authorized to upload files." What I've Checked: I am signed in with the same Apple ID used for the purchase. The Apple Developer App does not show any "Verify Identity" or "Continue Enrollment" buttons in the Account tab; it only shows "Enroll Now," but that button is greyed out. I have tried multiple browsers (Safari, Chrome) and Incognito mode with no success. I have contacted Developer Support three times over the last month but have not received a response. My account seems to be in a loop where I am required to verify, but my account permissions do not allow me to access the verification portal. Could a moderator or anyone from the team please help escalate this? Region: Egypt Subscription ID: MQQ6N543ZS

Hello. My developer membership is expired. I cannot renew because the renewal option/button does not appears in any device. A banner tells me: "Any apps you had on the App Store are no longer available for download and you can no longer access membership benefits. If you’d like to renew your membership to reinstate your apps and membership benefits, open the Apple Developer app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Sign in to your account, tap/click Renew, and follow the prompts.If you agreed to the Paid Applications Agreement, you’ll need to agree to it again after renewal in the Agreements, Tax and Banking section of App Store Connect." However, there's no "Renew" to tap or click anywhere in the app nor in the web. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
