Pending Termination Notice Under Section 3.2(f) – Seeking Guidance Regarding Developer Identity Verification Hello, Case ID: 20000132641773 I am seeking guidance regarding a Pending Termination Notice that I recently received under Section 3.2(f) and App Review Guideline 5.6.2 (Developer Identity). I fully respect Apple's policies and have always tried to operate within the App Store guidelines. However, I am struggling to understand the identity-related concerns mentioned in the notice. My Situation I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual developer. I completed the standard enrollment process and paid the membership fee. My developer account was approved and activated by Apple. During enrollment, I was not asked to upload a passport, National ID Card, driver's license, or any other identity verification documents. The account has been active for several years. I have multiple published applications and have invested significant resources into their development and growth. My Main Concern The notice states that Apple believes fraudulent or false identity information may have been provided. However: I have never intentionally misrepresented my identity. The name on the account belongs to me. I am fully willing to complete any identity verification process. I can immediately provide my Passport, National ID Card, Driver's License, proof of address, or any other documents Apple may require. Significant Business Impact The termination notice has affected all applications associated with my account. As a result: App transfers are disabled. Earnings payments are paused. Existing applications are impacted. Ongoing user acquisition and marketing campaigns have been disrupted. I have invested heavily in growing these applications, including substantial advertising spend through Meta Ads and other marketing channels. I can provide supporting evidence of advertising activity, installs, traffic, and user acquisition if requested. Questions Has anyone successfully resolved a similar Developer Identity (5.6.2) issue through additional verification? Has Apple allowed developers to submit identity documents after receiving a Pending Termination Notice? Is there any recommended approach when the developer is fully willing to verify their identity but was never previously asked to submit identity documents? I have already submitted an appeal and expressed my willingness to provide any form of identity verification required by Apple. Any guidance from Apple staff or developers who have experienced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

When I use Xcode 26.6, MacOS Tahoe 26.6.2, for debugging and hit a breakpoint, using "step over" very often causes the debugger to freeze at a random line of code on other threads. Clicking "Pause program execution" indicates that the line is being executed randomly on other threads, but the breakpoint never exits, seemingly causing a freeze. At this point, if I then place a breakpoint just after the point where I was stepping on the thread which I was debugging before the freeze, hitting "Continue Program Execution", ofter - but not always - the debugger returns to the new breakpoint which I placed after the freeze. I am using Xcode on Apple Silicon M4 based Mac, our app is a ObjC application for MacOS and it is native for Apple Silicon. The current situation with Xcode 26.6 significantly reduces our development efficiency. What could be causing this, and is there a solution?

Xcode 26.5 stucks on Localization Generating Comments: Running on macOS Tahoe 26.5 When this happens, Xcode does not add new keys, although enabled: The only (known) workaround is to restart Xcode. Same happened with Xcode 26.4, 26.4.1 on macOS 26.4.1.

Hey Team, Is there a way to help me with this one Im been on pending for so long not sure way. Its such a critical time for my app to be publish please asist. Thanks. @appleSupport Case: 102918438230

Good day, I'm trying to resolve the EU "Digital Services Act" compliance for my employer's Apple Developer account, but I'm stuck on verifying the phone number. The email verification code came through without any issue. We are located in South Africa, with a "+27" area code and the number I need to use here is a landline that comes through to the receptionist at our head office. This number does not have the ability to receive text messages, so I selected the "Didn't get a verification code?" link and chose the receive a phone call instead, however the call never comes through. Calling the number from my cellphone goes straight through to the receptionist, there are no digital switchboard prompts for the caller to select from. I tried this numerous times this Friday just past, and again twice now today, still no luck. I've requested an official document from my manager to see if I can go that route to verify the details, but so far nobody seems to be able to find an appropriate document for me to use... :( Is there anything else that I can do here?

Circling back on the LocalLM Lab arc. With v0.7, we've moved from prompt experimentation into real app development on Apple's Foundation Models local AI. The LocalLM Lab SDK lets you build that same on-device model and MCP client this thread has covered directly into your own app, with real tool and data access (Slack, Todoist, GitHub, Notion, Linear, plus Calendar, Reminders, Contacts and Location). And you can ship your app including through the Mac App Store. This is a big improvement over version 0.6, where the localai-cli toolkit needed LocalLM Lab installed and running. On the other hand, the SDK (LocalLMLabSDKCore) doesn't relay through anything; it links FoundationModels and a real MCP client directly into your own binary and is totally self-contained. The example included in the SDK, Plate Today, has actually been built into a sandboxed test app and verified working, with a signed path to a Mac App Store .pkg (Apple Distribution signing + provisioning profile pipeline). That's "verified signable and sandbox-compatible," to be precise. Entitlements (from personal experience: always a complicated topic): com.apple.security.app-sandbox + com.apple.security.network.client for the app itself, plus the standard personal-information entitlements per connector used (com.apple.security.personal-information.calendars, .addressbook, .location) and matching NS*UsageDescription strings in Info.plist. The one worth flagging specifically: the network entitlement is easy to miss and fails silently rather than throwing. Without it, MCP connections and Weather calls just hang with no error surfaced. OAuth handling requires the app delegate callback (application(_:open:)), not SwiftUI's .onOpenURL. Worth knowing before wiring it up if you're SwiftUI-only. Full entitlements list + SDK guide: https://github.com/ancientcomputing/locallm/blob/main/docs/sdk-guide.md Feature page: thisbrain.ai/locallm/sdk.html I hope the availability of the SDK (free, Apache 2.0 license) will give folks further incentive to explore local AI-enabled applications on the Mac. What else would you want to do that the SDK doesn't currently support? File picker? Calendar/Reminders/Contacts edits & writes?

Hello Apple Developer Community, I’m seeking some guidance regarding our Apple Developer account and organization enrollment. We have submitted our request to activate/enroll our developer account under our company, and we are currently waiting for the process to be completed. We have also contacted Apple Developer Support regarding this matter and have been following the instructions provided to us. However, we have not yet received an update, and we are currently unable to proceed with our development and App Store submission activities. We would greatly appreciate any guidance from the Apple Developer community or Apple team regarding the appropriate next steps or how we can check the status of our request. If additional information or documentation is required from our side, we are ready to provide it immediately. Thank you very much for your assistance and support. Best regards, Meshari AYHAM LIMITED

Hello, Our team has been completely blocked for over 13 days trying to notarize our macOS desktop application for external distribution via Developer ID. Every single submission to the notary service fails immediately with statusCode: 7000 and issues: null. The exact error returned by xcrun notarytool is: "Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support..." We have already confirmed this is an account-level backend restriction rather than a code-signing or binary packaging issue. To prove this, we submitted signed raw system binaries (copies of /bin/cat and /bin/echo with no app content) and they were rejected with the identical Team 7000 error code. Our Free Apps Agreement is active, and our tax/compliance forms are completely up to date. We opened a high-priority ticket with Developer Support (Case #20000128878099), but the initial front-line response was a generic boilerplate macro telling us to complete iOS App Notarization metadata fields and accept the EU Alternative Marketplace Addendum. None of this applies to a standard macOS application distributed outside the Mac App Store. Team Details: • Team ID: QDH4N9GF75 (Metafix Fintech LLC) • Platform: macOS • Tooling: xcrun notarytool Recent Submission Request IDs (All rejected identically with issues: null): • 360351f5-72b5-4f60-949b-531bf3c0e514 • dfaae647-250d-463d-b0e9-8f8f0738bd95 • e8950d1b-5bdc-41f5-8379-da6ba3311941 Could a Developer Relations engineer or community manager please flag this case internally? Our team profile requires a manual configuration adjustment or provision reset on Apple's backend to enable the Developer ID Notary capability for our Team ID. Thank you, Jobson

Hi, We recently updated our app icon, but the push notification icon has not been updated on some devices. It still shows the old icon on: • iPhone 16 Pro — iOS 26 • iPhone 14 — iOS 26 • iPad Pro 11” (M4) — iOS 18.6.2 • iPhone 16 Plus — iOS 18.5 After restarting these devices, the push notification icon is refreshed and displays the new version correctly. Could you advise how we can ensure the push notification icon updates properly on all affected devices without requiring users to restart? Thank you.

Can I use Windows 10 to develop IOS apps?

Your enrollment in the Apple Developer program could not be completed at this time

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and paid the $99 USD membership fee. The payment was successfully charged and completed. Later, I received a request to pay again. Since I had already paid, I did not want to make a duplicate payment. During this process, I accidentally canceled my enrollment/request. Now my Apple Developer account has returned to the beginning and shows “Enroll today,” asking me to enroll and pay again, even though the original $99 payment was successfully completed. Could you please review my payment and enrollment and restore or complete my Apple Developer Program membership without requiring me to pay the $99 fee again? Thank you.

Hi Apple Developer Support, I have been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for the past 3 weeks, but my enrollment is still pending and my web-based order is not being processed. I have contacted Apple Support multiple times, but the issue remains unresolved. Enrollment ID: 2829892W3Q Case #: 20000136812088 @Apple @AppleSupport, could you please review my enrollment and process my web-based order? I would really appreciate it if Apple Developer Support could look into this and help complete my enrollment as soon as possible. Thank you.

@Apple @AppleSupport I have been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for over a month, but my enrollment is still not being processed. The payment has also NOT been deducted, and my enrollment/order remains incomplete. I have contacted Apple Support multiple times and followed everything the support team instructed me to do. Despite doing everything requested, I still cannot complete my enrollment. As a developer who has built an app and is ready to submit it to the App Store, this ongoing issue is extremely frustrating. I just want to enroll in the Apple Developer Program so I can publish my app. Apple, please review my case and help me complete my enrollment as soon as possible. Case ID: L544J6UGFS Enrollment ID: 20000135646296 I would really appreciate it if the Apple Developer team could look into this and provide a proper resolution. #Apple #AppleDeveloper #AppleSupport #AppStore #DeveloperProgram

Dear Apple Developer Program Support Team, I am writing to request an update regarding our enrollment in the Apple Developer Program. Our enrollment ID is 2CV5G54DJ6. We completed our enrollment around May, but we have still not received an update regarding the status of our application or approval. At this point, we have everything prepared on our end. Our domain, website, and app are all ready, and our app is ready to be submitted for publication on the App Store. We are eager to move forward, but we are currently unable to do so because our developer program enrollment has not yet been approved. Could you please provide us with an update on the status of our enrollment and let us know if there is anything else you need from us to complete the verification or approval process? If additional documentation, information, or action is required, we would be happy to provide it as soon as possible. We would also appreciate clarification regarding why the enrollment process has taken this long, as it has been several months since we initially enrolled. We understand that Apple may need to conduct necessary verification before approving an enrollment, and we appreciate your time and assistance. We simply want to make sure there are no outstanding requirements or issues delaying our application. Thank you for your help. We look forward to hearing from you and getting our enrollment completed so we can proceed with publishing our app on the App Store. Kind regards, Grace & Evans Founder & Co-founder of Melz Inc.

Hello All, I am trying to enroll my company in the Apple Developer Program as an organization. However, the Apple Developer app now displays “ID Verification Rejected,” and the “Enroll Now” button is disabled. I have contacted Apple Developer Support several times, but I have not received a clear reason for the rejection or instructions for retrying the verification. I am the owner and authorised representative of the organisation and am prepared to provide my government-issued ID, proof of address, company registration documents, D‑U‑N‑S information, and proof of signing authority. Could an Apple representative please advise: How can the identity-verification process be reset? Can I resubmit my identification through a secure channel? Should I continue with the same Apple Account? Is there an escalation route for an unresolved enrollment case? This issue has remained unresolved for an extended period and is affecting our planned application launch. I would appreciate guidance from Apple Developer Support or anyone who has successfully resolved the same issue. For security reasons, I can provide the enrollment and support case numbers privately to an authorized Apple representative. Appreciate your support and help on this. Thank you

Apple Developer Program enrollment stuck on Pending — payment not charged and profile fails to load Hello, I’m having an issue with my Apple Developer Program enrollment and would appreciate any guidance from Apple or anyone who has experienced the same problem. I submitted my Individual enrollment on August 10 through the Apple Developer website and completed the $99 membership purchase process. After submitting the order, I received the “Thank You — We are processing your order” page stating that processing may take up to two business days. However, since then: My enrollment is still showing Pending. The $99 membership fee has not been charged to my card. I have not received a membership activation email. The website sometimes shows “Complete Your Order” again and allows me to enter payment details again. In the Apple Developer app, Enroll Now is disabled and it says: “Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account.” The Profile section also displays: “Profile failed to load.” I already contacted Apple Developer Support and have an open support case, but I have not yet received a substantive response. My Apple Account itself works normally, and other Apple purchases have successfully gone through, so this appears to be specific to the Developer Program enrollment. I do not want to submit the $99 payment again because I’m concerned about creating a duplicate purchase while the original enrollment is still Pending. What is especially frustrating is the complete lack of communication. Are Developer Program applicants from Kazakhstan handled differently or given lower priority? If not, I would appreciate some clarity on why an enrollment can remain stuck with no payment processing and no response from support for several days. Has anyone from Kazakhstan or another country experienced this exact situation? If so, was your enrollment eventually activated automatically, or did Apple Developer Support need to manually fix the account? Apple Developer Support: I have an existing Enrollment ID and Case ID and can provide them privately if needed. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone from the Apple Developer support team or another developer who's been through this can help. Enrollment ID: 68UYPM637K Organization: CHARRY - INDUSTRIA E COMERCIO DE CONFECCOES LTDA Timeline so far: This enrollment was submitted by our company's owner/founder, who has the legal authority to bind the organization to agreements. We received a request for identity verification documents (government-issued photo ID, Articles of Association, and CNPJ card for the organization). We submitted all requested documents through the secure upload portal on July 29, 2026 (14 days ago). Checking developer.apple.com/account directly, the enrollment still shows as "being processed," with no further update or request since then. At this point we've submitted everything requested and haven't received any update in 14 days. This is delaying a planned app launch for our company. Has anyone else experienced a delay like this after submitting documents? Is there anything else we should try, or can someone from Apple please take a look at enrollment 68UYPM637K? Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I recently renewed my Apple Developer Program membership on August 8, 2026. When checking my account portal at ⁠developer.apple.com/account⁠, my membership status shows as active with the new expiration date set to August 9, 2027, and all current agreements have been accepted. However, my App Store Connect dashboard still displays a banner stating that my membership has expired, and my apps remain unavailable. Could you please assist in manually refreshing or syncing the account status between the Developer Portal and App Store Connect?
