Xcode 26 keeps telling you "Not Signed In" after you authorize Claude or Codex in the browser?
If you're on an Intel Mac, here's the reason and the fix. Cost me an evening, and I found nothing online except closed bug reports with the same symptom. The problem: The browser flow works fine. You authorize, the page confirms, Xcode acts like nothing happened, no error anywhere. Xcode only downloads the Apple Silicon (arm64) build of its agent binaries. On Intel they can't run at all. The process meant to receive your login dies instantly with "bad CPU type in executable" and Xcode never surfaces it. Check if this is you: file ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/claude/*/claude If it says arm64 and your Mac is Intel, that's the problem. The fix: Open the Info.plist next to the binary. It has the exact download URL. Download the x64 build of the same version. → Claude: change darwin-arm64 to darwin-x64 in that URL. → Codex: grab codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz from the matching rust-v release on GitHub. Replace the binary and make it executable: chmod 755 Update the checksum in Info.plist. It's a plain SHA-512: shasum -a 512 Restart Xcode and sign in again. Bonus (Claude Pro / Max) Run claude setup-token in Terminal, then add the token to: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/ClaudeAgentConfig/settings.json {"env": {"CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN": "your-token"}} Pick "Authenticate with Configuration File" in the agent menu. Runs on your subscription no API key. Heads up: an Xcode update can re-download the wrong binary, so you may have to repeat this until Apple fixes the architecture detection.

Having issues authorizing payment for Apple Developer Program
Hey guysI’ve been trying to pay for Apple Developer Program enrollment for about a week and still no luck. As well as I got from a small talk with the customer support – Apple never got my money. So it seems like my payment authorization fails all the time. But I don’t know what’s really going on.Have any of you ever had issues like that?Or maybe you just know what’s going on and how to fix it?

Apple Developer Account not activated 5 days after purchase
Hey everyone, I purchased an Apple Developer Program for 99 USD on January 1 2024, filled out my credit card that I use for iCloud+ storage plan, got my confirmation email that within 48h my developer account should be activated, but it never did. Plus after waiting more than 48h I wrote to support, describing everything, but never heard back from them. One thing I noticed during the checkout was I was asked for everything (name, address, CC number, expiry date) but not the CVV number. Is this normal, and would Apple be able to process the payment without it? I though about going through the enrolment process again, but am afraid of a double charge, in case my original enrolment gets accepted... Please advise and share your experiences when enrolling to the developer program. Thanks!

App Store Connect not enabled 50+ hours after organization enrollment activated - "Your Apple Account isn't enabled for App Store Connect"
Hi, our organization's Apple Developer Program enrollment was recently completed, but App Store Connect access has never been provisioned, and I'd appreciate help escalating this. Timeline: Organization enrollment verified and completed; "Welcome to the Apple Developer Program" email received more than 50 hours ago Membership shows as active on developer.apple.com under the correct team Apple Developer Agreement accepted; Apple Developer Program License Agreement accepted on August 11, 2026 - no pending agreements are shown on the account page I am the Account Holder, signing in with the same Apple Account that was used to enroll the organization Despite this, signing in at appstoreconnect.apple.com consistently returns: "Your Apple Account isn't enabled for App Store Connect." What I've already tried: signing out of both developer.apple.com and App Store Connect and signing back in via a private/incognito window, different browsers, and navigating to App Store Connect from the developer account page. The error is unchanged. I contacted Apple Developer Support by email (no phone option is available in my region) and am waiting on a reply - case number: 20000135517368 This looks like the known issue where App Store Connect provisioning doesn't trigger for a new organization enrollment. Could someone from Apple take a look or advise how to get the provisioning kicked off manually? Happy to provide the Team ID privately if needed.

Error : Apple Developer Program membership
My Apple Developer Program membership was successfully renewed days ago. The Developer Account shows the membership as active, but App Store Connect/TestFlight still reports that my Developer Program membership needs to be renewed. message "Before you can use TestFlight to distribute beta builds of your app, you must renew your Apple Developer Program membership."

TestFlight Installation Issue After Apple Developer Program Renewal
I’m experiencing a persistent TestFlight installation issue that started after my most recent Apple Developer Program renewal. All builds upload and process successfully in App Store Connect/TestFlight, and there are no apparent issues with the builds themselves. However, when testers try to install the apps, they receive the following error: “The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” Since the same problem is affecting multiple apps under the same Apple Developer account, while the builds are uploading and processing successfully, I suspect this may be related to the TestFlight/App Store Connect distribution state or account-level backend configuration after the renewal. I have already checked the builds and TestFlight configuration, but the issue still persists. Has anyone experienced the same issue after renewing their Apple Developer Program membership? If so, were you able to resolve it, and did Apple Support have to fix something on the backend? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Identity verification repeatedly fails - "unclear or obscured" after 10 attempts (Case 20000133539681)
Update: the issue is still not resolved. Developer Support (Taylor) reset and re-provisioned my account, and I retried the enrollment afterwards as instructed. The identity verification step still fails. Summary of what I have done: Approximately 10 separate verification attempts in total. Two different valid, unexpired government-issued documents: my driver's license and my national ID card (T.C. Kimlik Karti). Front and back captures for each document. Multiple sessions, different lighting conditions, plain matte backgrounds, correct distance, sharp focus, no glare, no shadows, document fully inside the frame. Every attempt returns the same error: "Upload Error - Your identity couldn't be verified because the image you submitted is unclear or obscured." Already verified on my side: Two-factor authentication is enabled on my Apple Account. The name on my Apple Account matches my legal name on my ID documents exactly. I am using my own personal iPhone, not a shared device. I am entering only my own personal information. I have exhausted everything within my control and the generic error message gives me nothing actionable. Could someone please: Tell me the specific reason my identity verification keeps failing? Enable an alternative identity verification method for my account, or provide a way to submit my ID documents manually for review? Case number: 20000133539681 Region: Turkiye Enrollment type: Individual Thank you.

Apple Developer Program payment charged, but membership not activated
Hi Apple Developer Support, I have been trying to resolve an issue with my Apple Developer Program enrollment since August 12. I purchased the Apple Developer Program membership through the Apple Developer app, and the membership fee was successfully charged. However, my membership was never activated, and the website is now asking me to purchase the membership again. I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times by email and requested several callbacks, but I have not received any answer. I have also been unable to request a refund for this purchase through Apple’s standard refund system. Enrollment ID: 6V658K4K2K Case #: 20000135552700 @Apple @AppleSupport, could you please review my enrollment and locate the payment that has already been charged? I need either my existing payment applied to my Developer Program enrollment or the membership fee refunded so I can enroll again through the website. I would really appreciate help resolving this, as I have already been waiting for a week without access to the membership I paid for. Thank you.

We could not validate your identity" app will not allow resubmission, enrollment blocked 2 months (Case #102895344856))
Case #102895344856 I am attempting to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual. My enrollment has been blocked for approximately two months and I have not been able to get a resolution. What happened, in order: Enrollment was first blocked with an error stating the device was already enrolled as a trusted device on another Apple Account. I am the Account Holder of a separate organization account under my employer, and my devices had been trusted on that account. I removed my phone number and devices from that other account so that they are now associated only with this personal Apple Account. I attempted enrollment on the web. It failed. I attempted enrollment through the Apple Developer app on a device now trusted only to this Apple Account, and submitted my passport. The result was: "Contact Us to Continue There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue. Please contact support." ID Verfication Rejected on the enroll button The Apple Developer app now does not allow me to resubmit my passport or retry verification. It only displays a message to contact support. I have contacted support repeatedly. Replies arrive every 4–10 days, and my most recent message from Aug 11 has gone unanswered for 8 days. I have also called three times on three different days, waiting approximately 3 hours on each day, and no one answered. I am requesting: The specific reason my identity verification did not pass, so I can correct whatever is wrong. Either the alternative identity verification method referenced at developer.apple.com/support/identity-verification, or a reset of my verification status so I can resubmit through the app.

Prolonged Apple Developer Program Enrollment & Refund Delays
Subject: Prolonged Apple Developer Program Enrollment & Refund Delays I'm looking for advice regarding a Developer Program case that has been ongoing for over four months. After purchasing an individual membership, I requested to migrate it to my company's organization account. Following repeated requests for the same information and multiple delays, I was told migration wasn't possible because I'm not the legal owner. I then requested a refund, followed every instruction (including removing all removable developer assets), but was later informed of an additional eligibility condition that had not been disclosed earlier. Following Apple's guidance, the company owner purchased a new organization membership, which is also experiencing unexpected delays. I'm not asking anyone to discuss internal Apple processes—I'm simply wondering: Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a way to request a higher-level review of a prolonged Developer Program case? I've intentionally omitted all personal information and case details. Any advice would be appreciated.

Pending Termination Notice 3.2(f) – Built Entirely New Game for Compliance – Appeal Submitted 10 Days No Response
Hello Apple Developer Community and App Review Team, I received a Pending Termination Notice on May 29, 2026, for my account (Developer: Bushra Malik) related to Section 3.2(f), regarding app submissions for Dress Up Fashion: Styling Game. I submitted a formal appeal 10 days ago but have not yet received a response or case number confirmation. I want to provide brief context: Our original Clothing Store Simulator received repeated rejections. Rather than continuing to resubmit the same app, we made the decision to build a completely new game from scratch — new code, new assets, new UI, and a fully revised App Store listing. Nothing from the original submission was carried forward. This was a deliberate good faith effort to achieve compliance, not an attempt to evade review. We also believe an older binary may have been reviewed rather than our latest build — a technical issue we have experienced previously on this account. Our account has 4+ years of publishing history and 25+ live games currently on the App Store. Not a single other app is in rejection or under any violation. We have never engaged in subscription scams, fake reviews, bait-and-switch tactics, or any of the fraudulent conduct described in the termination notice. I am respectfully requesting: Confirmation that my appeal is actively under review A status update or case reference number Any additional information Apple needs from our side We are fully cooperative and have all source code, assets, and submission history available immediately upon request. Thank you sincerely for your time. Bushra Malik Apple Developer Account: Bushra Malik

App Store Connect still shows “Developer Program Membership Expired” one week after renewal
Hello, I renewed my Apple Developer Program membership on July 29, 2026. The payment was successfully processed, I received the invoice and renewal confirmation, and the Apple Developer website shows that my membership is active. For approximately one week, App Store Connect has continued to display this error: Developer Program Membership Expired Your membership has expired, and your apps have been removed from the App Store until you renew your membership. To renew, a user with the Account Holder role must sign in and renew the membership on the Apple Developer website. Because of this incorrect status, I cannot submit apps, and App Store Connect states that my existing apps have been removed from the App Store. I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times. I received two responses, but neither addressed the App Store Connect membership-status issue. The renewal itself is already complete; the problem appears to be a synchronization issue between the Apple Developer portal and App Store Connect. Has anyone experienced this situation? How long did synchronization take, and was there a specific support team or escalation path that resolved it? Any advice would be appreciated.

Apple App Reviews
After waiting on the phone for 3 hours, a rep answered and claimed headset issues and then just hung up and hasn’t bothered to call back. Not sure what sort of service I can expect here bust can anyone tell me why App Reviews take so long? They claim they are completed in 24-48 hours. It’s been nearly a week and nothing… Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

Unable to start Apple Developer Program enrollment — same error with two different Apple Accounts
Hi everyone, I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual, but I cannot even start the enrollment process. When I go to developer.apple.com/account and click “Enroll today”, I immediately get: Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time. The error appears immediately after clicking “Enroll today”, before I reach the enrollment form, payment, or identity verification. What I’ve already checked Apple Account is a regular personal account Two-factor authentication is enabled Legal first and last name are correct Date of birth is correct Trusted phone number is verified Country/Region: Serbia Valid Serbian residential address Serbian payment method and billing address Successfully registered as a free Apple Developer The most interesting part is that I reproduced the exact same problem with two different Apple Accounts. The first account is my existing Apple Account. I then created a completely new Apple Account, configured it with the same Serbian personal and billing information, registered it as a free Apple Developer, and tried to enroll — the exact same error appears immediately. Developer app I also checked the Apple Developer app. The Enroll Now button is disabled and the app says: “Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account. Visit developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/.” So currently: Web: Enroll today → immediate error Developer app: Enrollment unavailable for this Apple Account I have also contacted Apple Developer Support, but I haven’t received a response. Has anyone in Serbia recently been able to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual? Has anyone encountered this exact combination of: immediate error after clicking “Enroll today” on the web; Developer app enrollment unavailable; the same issue reproduced with multiple Apple Accounts? I’m trying to determine whether this is an account eligibility issue, a Serbia-specific issue, or a current backend/enrollment problem. Any information from someone who recently enrolled from Serbia would be especially helpful. Thank you!

TestFlight Installation Issue After Apple Developer Program Renewal
I’m experiencing a persistent TestFlight installation issue that started after my most recent Apple Developer Program renewal. All builds upload and process successfully in App Store Connect/TestFlight, and there are no apparent issues with the builds themselves. However, when testers try to install the apps, they receive the following error: “The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” Since the same problem is affecting multiple apps under the same Apple Developer account, while the builds are uploading and processing successfully, I suspect this may be related to the TestFlight/App Store Connect distribution state or account-level backend configuration after the renewal. I have already checked the builds and TestFlight configuration, but the issue still persists. Has anyone experienced the same issue after renewing their Apple Developer Program membership? If so, were you able to resolve it, and did Apple Support have to fix something on the backend? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Apple Developer Support, I have been trying to resolve an issue with my Apple Developer Program enrollment since August 12. I purchased the Apple Developer Program membership through the Apple Developer app, and the membership fee was successfully charged. However, my membership was never activated, and the website is now asking me to purchase the membership again. I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times by email and requested several callbacks, but I have not received any answer. I have also been unable to request a refund for this purchase through Apple’s standard refund system.

I need either my existing payment applied to my Developer Program enrollment or the membership fee refunded so I can enroll again through the website. I would really appreciate help resolving this, as I have already been waiting for a week without access to the membership I paid for. Thank you.

Prolonged Apple Developer Program Enrollment & Refund Delays
Subject: Prolonged Apple Developer Program Enrollment & Refund Delays I'm looking for advice regarding a Developer Program case that has been ongoing for over four months. After purchasing an individual membership, I requested to migrate it to my company's organization account. Following repeated requests for the same information and multiple delays, I was told migration wasn't possible because I'm not the legal owner. I then requested a refund, followed every instruction (including removing all removable developer assets), but was later informed of an additional eligibility condition that had not been disclosed earlier. Following Apple's guidance, the company owner purchased a new organization membership, which is also experiencing unexpected delays. I'm not asking anyone to discuss internal Apple processes—I'm simply wondering: Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a way to request a higher-level review of a prolonged Developer Program case? I've intentionally omitted all personal information and case details. Any advice would be appreciated.

Pending Termination Notice 3.2(f) – Built Entirely New Game for Compliance – Appeal Submitted 10 Days No Response
Hello Apple Developer Community and App Review Team, I received a Pending Termination Notice on May 29, 2026, for my account (Developer: Bushra Malik) related to Section 3.2(f), regarding app submissions for Dress Up Fashion: Styling Game. I submitted a formal appeal 10 days ago but have not yet received a response or case number confirmation. I want to provide brief context: Our original Clothing Store Simulator received repeated rejections. Rather than continuing to resubmit the same app, we made the decision to build a completely new game from scratch — new code, new assets, new UI, and a fully revised App Store listing. Nothing from the original submission was carried forward. This was a deliberate good faith effort to achieve compliance, not an attempt to evade review. We also believe an older binary may have been reviewed rather than our latest build — a technical issue we have experienced previously on this account. Our account has 4+ years of publishing history and 25+ live games currently on the App Store. Not a single other app is in rejection or under any violation. We have never engaged in subscription scams, fake reviews, bait-and-switch tactics, or any of the fraudulent conduct described in the termination notice. I am respectfully requesting: Confirmation that my appeal is actively under review A status update or case reference number Any additional information Apple needs from our side We are fully cooperative and have all source code, assets, and submission history available immediately upon request. Thank you sincerely for your time. Bushra Malik Apple Developer Account: Bushra Malik

App Store Connect still shows “Developer Program Membership Expired” one week after renewal
Hello, I renewed my Apple Developer Program membership on July 29, 2026. The payment was successfully processed, I received the invoice and renewal confirmation, and the Apple Developer website shows that my membership is active. For approximately one week, App Store Connect has continued to display this error: Developer Program Membership Expired Your membership has expired, and your apps have been removed from the App Store until you renew your membership. To renew, a user with the Account Holder role must sign in and renew the membership on the Apple Developer website. Because of this incorrect status, I cannot submit apps, and App Store Connect states that my existing apps have been removed from the App Store. I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times. I received two responses, but neither addressed the App Store Connect membership-status issue. The renewal itself is already complete; the problem appears to be a synchronization issue between the Apple Developer portal and App Store Connect. Has anyone experienced this situation? How long did synchronization take, and was there a specific support team or escalation path that resolved it? Any advice would be appreciated.

Apple App Reviews
After waiting on the phone for 3 hours, a rep answered and claimed headset issues and then just hung up and hasn’t bothered to call back. Not sure what sort of service I can expect here bust can anyone tell me why App Reviews take so long? They claim they are completed in 24-48 hours. It’s been nearly a week and nothing… Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

Unable to start Apple Developer Program enrollment — same error with two different Apple Accounts
Hi everyone, I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual, but I cannot even start the enrollment process. When I go to developer.apple.com/account and click “Enroll today”, I immediately get: Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time. The error appears immediately after clicking “Enroll today”, before I reach the enrollment form, payment, or identity verification. What I’ve already checked Apple Account is a regular personal account Two-factor authentication is enabled Legal first and last name are correct Date of birth is correct Trusted phone number is verified Country/Region: Serbia Valid Serbian residential address Serbian payment method and billing address Successfully registered as a free Apple Developer The most interesting part is that I reproduced the exact same problem with two different Apple Accounts. The first account is my existing Apple Account. I then created a completely new Apple Account, configured it with the same Serbian personal and billing information, registered it as a free Apple Developer, and tried to enroll — the exact same error appears immediately. Developer app I also checked the Apple Developer app. The Enroll Now button is disabled and the app says: “Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account. Visit developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/.” So currently: Web: Enroll today → immediate error Developer app: Enrollment unavailable for this Apple Account I have also contacted Apple Developer Support, but I haven’t received a response. Has anyone in Serbia recently been able to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual? Has anyone encountered this exact combination of: immediate error after clicking “Enroll today” on the web; Developer app enrollment unavailable; the same issue reproduced with multiple Apple Accounts? I’m trying to determine whether this is an account eligibility issue, a Serbia-specific issue, or a current backend/enrollment problem. Any information from someone who recently enrolled from Serbia would be especially helpful. Thank you!
