Dear Apple Developer Support Team,
I am writing to respectfully request a further review of my Apple Developer Program enrollment and assistance in resetting or reopening my enrollment process.
This is my first time applying for the Apple Developer Program. I am an independent iOS developer currently working on my own applications, and I sincerely hope to resolve this issue so that I can publish my apps on the App Store.
Background of my enrollment issue:
-
I initially started the Apple Developer Program enrollment process on my MacBook.
-
While my enrollment was pending review, I signed in to the Apple Developer app on my iPhone using the same Apple Account and attempted to continue the enrollment process.
-
Shortly afterward, my Apple Account was temporarily restricted. I contacted Apple Support, and the restriction was subsequently removed.
-
However, when I returned to continue my Apple Developer Program enrollment on my MacBook, I was unable to proceed. The system instructed me to contact Apple Developer Support.
-
I contacted the support team and, as requested, submitted photographs of both sides of my government-issued identification card, along with a photograph of myself holding the identification card, to complete the identity verification process.
-
I also paid the CNY 688 annual membership fee through the Apple Developer app on my MacBook. This payment has since been refunded.
-
Currently, the Apple Developer app still displays the option to "Continue Your Enrollment," but I am unable to complete the enrollment process.
-
During my most recent phone call with Apple Developer Support, I was informed that my current enrollment could not proceed. However, I have not received a formal written rejection or a clear explanation of whether I am eligible to apply again.
My request:
I fully understand and respect Apple's enrollment requirements, identity verification procedures, and account security policies.
As this was my first enrollment attempt, I was not fully familiar with the process. I did not intentionally attempt to violate any Apple Developer Program requirements or circumvent any security measures.
I sincerely hope that my situation can be reviewed again.
Specifically, I would greatly appreciate your assistance with the following:
-
Manual Review: Could my case be escalated to the appropriate Apple Developer Program Enrollment or Identity Verification team for an additional manual review?
-
Enrollment Reset: If possible, could my current enrollment status be reset or reopened so that I can restart the application process using my existing Apple Account?
-
Enrollment Eligibility: If my current application cannot be restored, could you please clarify whether I am eligible to submit a new application in the future?
-
Further Verification: If additional identity verification or supporting documentation is required, I am fully willing to cooperate.
I understand that Apple must maintain strict standards to protect the integrity and security of the Developer Program, and I fully respect these requirements.
However, I sincerely hope that an unintentional issue during my first enrollment attempt will not permanently prevent me from joining the program.
Developing iOS applications is something I am genuinely passionate about. I have been investing my time and effort into creating my own apps, and I hope to have the opportunity to share them with users through the App Store.
My primary request is not related to the refunded membership fee. I simply hope to be given another opportunity to complete the enrollment process properly.
I would be extremely grateful if your team could reconsider my case or provide guidance on how I may restart my enrollment in accordance with Apple's policies.
Thank you very much for your time, understanding, and consideration.
I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Case ID: 30000009465340
