Hello,
I would like to ask for guidance regarding the termination of my Apple Developer Program account.
The account had been active for over 15 years and was my primary source of income. In November 2025, I received a notice stating:
You provided fraudulent and/or false account information, documentation, or otherwise falsely represented yourself or your submitted app to Apple either during the account enrollment process or after the account was created.
I take this matter very seriously. I have always used my real identity and valid documentation, and I have never intended to misrepresent myself or my apps in any way. I am fully willing to provide any documents again to reconfirm my identity if required.
Over the past several months, I submitted multiple appeals in an effort to better understand the reason for this determination. However, I have only received general responses without specific details or actionable guidance. Six months later, I received a final Notice of Termination.
I fully respect Apple’s policies and the need to maintain trust and integrity within the platform. At the same time, it’s been hard to understand what exactly caused this issue or what could have been fixed earlier.
If anyone from the App Review Team or other Apple representatives can provide general guidance on (I am posting from the same account/email that was originally used to enroll in the Apple Developer Program.):
- what types of situations may lead to this kind of determination, or
- whether there are any possible steps to clarify or resolve identity-related concerns
I would be very grateful.
