Apple Developer Program enrollment still pending after 2 business days — anyone else seeing delays?

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on September 17, 2026 and received the Order Acknowledgement for the US$99 payment.

Apple’s email said the order would be processed within 2 business days, but my enrollment is still showing as pending.

I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support, but I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this recently.

  • How long did your enrollment take to activate?
  • Did it activate automatically, or did Apple Support need to manually review it?
  • Was there any issue with payment, billing information, or identity verification?

I’m enrolling as an individual developer from Saudi Arabia.

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the same situation recently.

Update:

I contacted Apple Developer Support, and they advised me to enroll again using the Apple Developer app on my iPhone.

I followed their instructions, completed the enrollment again through the app, and successfully paid the annual membership fee.

My status is currently showing as “Enrollment Pending,” so I’m waiting for the activation now.

I’ll update this post again once I hear back from Apple or the account gets activated, in case this helps anyone else facing the same issue.
