Still No Response After Paying for My Developer Account
I paid for the developer account subscription on November 9, and as of now, the status is still pending. I’ve already contacted the support center for help more than three days ago, but I haven’t received any reply or even an acknowledgment email. How do they even operate? The delay is completely unreasonable. Has anyone else experienced the same thing?

Developer Account Still “Pending” After Payment — No Email Received
Hi everyone, I recently paid for my Apple Developer Program membership, but my account status has been stuck on “Pending” ever since. It has now been 5+ more days and I still haven’t received any confirmation email or follow-up message from Apple. I’ve checked my inbox, spam folder, and verified that the payment went through successfully. Everything seems correct on my end, but the activation hasn’t progressed. Has anyone experienced this delay before, or is there something else I should do while waiting? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

VoiceOver accessibility issue in UIKit for line granularity
Context: We are using UIKit to provide accessibility in our app for our iOS users. Our app majorly contains documents/books that user can read. Issue: The issue is VoiceOver is skipping the lines given to it when there are some leading spaces in it. We have observed this issue in different languages. This is only happening for line granularity, other granularities seems to be working as expected. Implementation: We are using below API's to provide line content to voice over. UIAccessibilityReadingContent - accessibilityPageContent - accessibilityFrameForLineNumber - accessibilityContentForLineNumber We are creating UIAccessibilityElement objects to pass to VoiceOver and each UIAccessibilityElement implements UIAccessibilityReadingContent to provide readable content. We also use below APIs to cross element boundaries for all granular navigations. accessibilityNextTextNavigationElement accessibilityPreviousTextNavigationElement We want to know whether skipping the line when provided with leading spaces is expected or a bug in UIKit.

Developer account still not activated even though payment was processed
Hello, I recently purchased an Apple Developer account. The payment was successfully processed, the charge has appeared on my credit card, and I have received the invoice via email. However, it has been 3 days, and my Developer account is still not activated. The status remains “Pending” in my Apple Developer dashboard. There are no alerts or requests for additional documentation on my account. I’ve tried signing out and back in, checking from different devices and browsers, but nothing has changed. Is this delay normal? Is there anything I should do to speed up the activation process? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Can not change language at login screen
I have two macbooks. One air and one Pro. When the Pro boots the language settings are Swedish, and I can not change it in the top right menu. I have read through quite a bit of documentations, but none of the sugestions i find solve it for me. Sudo languagesetup (only function inside OS when im logged in), so this option does not work in Recovery - Terminal mode. When in Recovery mode, i log in with bash as path, and I can not find any info, on how to get to a system file, where i can set a language path. I am using a macbook pro 2019 intel based, running newest beta software version.

Developer Program enrollment still pending after payment
Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on Tuesday evening, November 4th, 2025. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership”. It’s now been several days, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information. I already contacted Apple Support by email, but I’d like to know if other developers have experienced the same situation and how long it took before their account was activated. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback! — Martin

Double Payment Issue — Apple Developer Account Still Not Activated
Hi everyone, I completed my Apple Developer registration on November 8, 2025, and paid the fee. Afterwards, I was charged another €99, so I basically paid twice. But nothing has changed on my account so far — it doesn’t even show as “pending” or “waiting” anymore. I also can’t reach Apple Support, since I’m unable to get a call or send an email. Has anyone else experienced something like this or knows what I can do?

Download Voices screen
System settings => Accessibility => System Voice => the little (i) beside the pulldown => Voices => THIS SCREEN will allow you to download Premium Voices Is there a way to trigger this screen programmatically. Or at least a link to get my users there without having to dig thru that swamp of screens?

Custom Keyboard Extension Not Showing in Settings for Activation
Hi everyone, I’m developing a React Native iOS app that includes a custom keyboard extension for sending stickers across apps. The project builds successfully, and the main app installs fine on my test device. However, I’m not seeing the keyboard extension appear under Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard, which means I can’t activate it or grant access. At this point, I’m not even sure if the extension is actually being installed on the device along with the main app. Here’s what I’ve done so far. I created a Keyboard Extension target in Xcode, set the correct bundle identifiers and provisioning profiles, and enabled “Requests Open Access” in the extension’s Info.plist. I built and installed the app on a physical device rather than the simulator to ensure proper testing. My main questions are: how can I confirm that the extension is being installed on the device, and if it isn’t, what might prevent it from installing even though the build completes successfully? Any insights, troubleshooting steps, or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
