I’m a product manager in mainland China, and I’ve built the first version of an iOS app of my own. I can run it on my device with Xcode’s seven-day Personal Team provisioning profile. I’d like to get feedback from other people through TestFlight and eventually submit the app for review.
On November 4, I tried to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual using my own Apple Account and ID. The Apple Developer app showed “未能成功验证身份证” (unable to verify my ID). Apple’s Executive Relations team later followed up and told me that the application had been declined. I still don’t know what I need to correct or whether I can try verification again.
Has anyone in mainland China been able to restart identity verification on the same Apple Account after receiving this message and an enrollment decline? If so, which Developer Support option handled it, and what steps did Apple ask you to take? I’m looking for the official way to continue with my own account and identity.
