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!

I can't enrol in apple developer program, every time i click enrol i got this message: "Your enrollement in tha Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time"
直播过程中需同时操作 Vision Pro(拍摄)、Mac(推流)、中控台(画面切换),无统一控制入口,调节 3D 模型、校准画质等操作需在多设备间切换,易出错且效率低。
期望
针对直播场景,提供桌面端专属控制软件,支持一站式管理 Vision Pro 的拍摄参数、3D 模型切换、虚实融合效果等,实现多设备协同操作的可视化、便捷化。
画面亮度存在无规律动态波动(时亮时暗),且无手动控制入口,导致商品颜色还原失真、主播面部曝光异常(过曝 / 欠曝),严重影响直播展示效果。
期望
"· 优化直播模式的自动曝光算法,提升复杂光线环境下的亮度稳定性;
· 增加 “直播模式” 专属亮度锁定功能,支持手动设定亮度参数并锁定,满足直播场景下的画质可控需求。
"
切换后两者的亮度、色彩饱和度、对比度等画质参数差距较大,导致画面视觉体验割裂,破坏直播连贯性,影响用户观看沉浸感。
期望
"· 对标常规直播单反相机的画质基准,优化 Vision Pro 的画面亮度、色彩还原能力;
· 提供设备端或配套软件的画质自定义调节功能(亮度、对比度、色温等),支持直播前手动校准,确保与单反相机画面风格一致。"
传输后的直播流分辨率显著下降,画面细节丢失、清晰度不足,导致 3D 家具商品的纹理、尺寸等关键信息无法精准展示,影响用户对商品的判断。
期望
优化流传输过程中的分辨率压缩策略,减少传输过程中的画质损耗,提升 Mac 端接收的直播流清晰度,匹配 3D 商品展示的高精度需求。
佩戴者头部自然晃动时,设备拍摄的画面会出现明显抖动,导致观看直播的用户产生眩晕感,严重影响直播沉浸体验和购物决策效率。
希望
优化设备内置防抖算法,降低头部常规晃动对画面稳定性的影响,提升直播画面的流畅度。
Hello,
I am writing this post because the Apple Developer Program enrollment process is clearly malfunctioning, and I have reached a point where this situation is unacceptable.
First payment
I initially purchased the Apple Developer Program on December 3rd, 2025 at 16:03 (Turkey time).
The payment was fully completed, confirmed by my bank, and I received the official Apple Store receipt.
• Order ID: W1557478965
• Amount: 1029 TRY
• Status: Completed / Posted
Despite this, my account continued to show:
• “Purchase your membership”
• Enrollment status: Pending
• No access to App Store Connect
After several days with no response from Apple Support and no activation, I assumed something had gone wrong on Apple’s side.
Second payment
Because I was completely blocked and received no reply from support or the forums, I made a second payment to rule out any payment failure.
• Order ID: W1694587309
• Amount: 1029 TRY
• Status: Completed / Posted
Current situation
At this point:
• Two separate payments
• Two unique Apple Store order IDs
• Zero activation
• Zero response from Apple Support
• Enrollment still Pending
• App Store Connect still inaccessible
Support case details:
• Apple Support Case ID: 102769533427
• Multiple follow-ups sent
• No reply
• No action taken
This is no longer a delay — this is a system-level failure.
I have paid twice for a single Developer Program membership and received nothing in return: no activation, no explanation, and no support.
I am formally requesting manual intervention by Apple staff to:
1. Immediately activate my Apple Developer Program membership
2. Investigate and resolve the duplicate payment (refund or clarification)
3. Explain why a paid enrollment can remain blocked with no support response
If this forum is monitored by Apple employees, this issue requires urgent escalation.
This situation should not happen in a paid developer program.
Thank you.

hello everybody, I have a new idea for the future a new product the new iPod with integrated mobile router and with more functions also other products in this category more functions you can thinking for gaming and more one function is special for handheld controller. One is Nintendo Switch or other consoles. She have problem with the Wi-Fi. When you most login we are website. This problem is with this problem. Not more a problem. This is the idea one from thousand ideas the best is the software you can use this for working and for the children for the first smartphone you cannot calling all person you can only call the 911 or the family interest you making with FaceTime this is the number one for communication on this iPod. This is a new category and you can music streaming.

We are developing Apple AI for foreign markets and adapting it for iPhone models 17 and above.
When the system language and Siri language are not the same—for example, if the system is in English and Siri is in Chinese—it can cause a situation where Apple AI cannot be used. So, may I ask if there are any other reasons that could cause Apple AI to be unavailable within the app, even if it has been enabled?
When the system language and Siri language are not the same, Apple AI may not be usable.
For example, if the system is in English and Siri is in Chinese, it may cause Apple AI to not work.
May I ask if there are other reasons why the app still cannot be used internally even after enabling Apple AI?
I am trying to enroll for Developer program, but just before the payment page it ask to login again and then it takes forever to login and I cant proceed. This is happening on web browser.
Thanks

We have a password entry field with a "show password" button. The button effectively turns the "secure text entry" textfield into a non-secure text entry field allowing the user to view what they typed in.
When VoiceOver is enabled, I am not including that button in the UI; it doesn't seem to make sense to me for the following reasons.
If you properly test with the screen curtain, the functionality is useless. You don't see anything. I've tried to explain this to my accessibility team. It's also quite ridiculous to offer to show a blind user their password, I'm sure they'd love to see it, but they just can't. This would almost seem insulting as well.
If by toggling that button, and turning a secure text entry into a non-secure text entry, now the app is literally speaking their password aloud. This seems like a security vulnerability to me. What if someone else overhears the password spoken aloud.
The accessibility team is insisting that I need to include the "show password" button when VoiceOver is enabled. This is the response I received.
"functionality should be the same for VI users as for sighted users. It may happen that a VI user wants to check what is typed into password field in order to correct mistakes".
Again, I don't agree with that because functionality should not be the same. Functionality should be changed and altered as necessary to make the user experience as accessible as possible.
And in this scenario, to me the functionality doesn't make sense at all in a VoiceOver setting.
Any thoughts on this? Am I incorrect here? Are there benefits of including a "show password" button to a user utilizing VoiceOver? What should then the functionality be? Speak the password aloud?
Thanks.
We have a requirement to manage the shortcuts and hotkeys in our application, and have it to be intuitive and support multi-lingual fully. The understanding that we have currently is that most universal shortcuts and hotkeys on MacOS/iOS are expressed using English/Latin characters’ – and now, when a ‘pure foreign language physical or virtual keyboard’ is the ‘input device’ – we are unclear how the user would invoke such a hotkey.
Now, considering cases where other language keyboards have no Latin characters, in these environments, managing shortcuts and hotkeys becomes a rather difficult task. Taking a very simple example, the shortcut for Printing a page is Command/Control + 'P'. This can be an issue on Non English character keyboards like Arabic, where not only are there no letters for P, there is also no equivalent phonetic character as well, since the language itself does not have it.
Also – when we are wanting customizability of a hotkey by the user, how would the user express ‘which is the key combination for a given action they want to perform’.
So, based on these conditions, in order to provide the most comprehensive and optimal experience for the user in their own language, what is it that Apple recommend we do here, for Hotkeys/Shortcuts support in Pure Languages

Hey,
We've run into an issue where WKWebView contents are not always available for VoiceOver users. It seems to occur when WKWebView contents are loaded asynchronously.
I have a sample project where this can be reproduced and a video showing the issue. See FB21257352
The only solution we currently see is forcing an update continuously using UIAccessibility.post(notification: .layoutChanged, argument: nil), but this is ofc a last resort as it may have other unintended side effects.
I have an app that needs Input Monitoring permissions to get keyboard access in the background. I've attempted to use both IOHIDCheckAccess(kIOHIDRequestTypeListenEvent) and IOHIDRequestAccess(kIOHIDRequestTypeListenEvent), but they always return denied, even though I have given the permission for Input Monitoring to the app in Settings.
Is there something I need to put in my Info.plist to enable this permission to work?

My team has a robust digital accessibility program and processes for WCAG conformance in our apps. Because of this, there are definitely accessibility defects that get caught and addressed in order of impact and business priority like any other bug. Obviously we want to aim for 100% accessibility for our users, but it's a continual work in progress as new enhancements or changes are released.
I'm stuck on the appropriate measurement to indicate support. If we have 50 common tasks and the most central 10 tasks are solid but some supporting (but also common) tasks have a contrast fail or accessibleLabel missing, does that make the whole app not supporting the feature? If "completing the task" is the rubric there are a whole range of interpretations for that.
In a complex app, I anticipate that a group like ours will have strong support for many of the Accessibility Nutrition Labels accessibility features across tasks and devices, but realistically never be 100% free of defects for a given Apple Accessibility feature, even among core tasks.
As I consider the next steps for Nutrition Labels, I do not see anything in the documentation that gives a sort of baseline or measurement for inclusion. We plan to test all steps to complete a task, and log defects accordingly with an assigned timeline for fixing them (as would be true for functional defects).
Hi everyone — I’m implementing the new Hearing Device Support API described here:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/accessibility/hearing-device-support
I have MFi hearing aids paired and visible under Settings → Accessibility → Hearing Devices, and I’ve added the com.apple.developer.hearing.aid.app entitlement (and also tested with Wireless Accessory Configuration: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com.apple.external-accessory.wireless-configuration
).
com.apple.developer.hearing.aid.app
xxxxx
but the app won't even compile with this entitlement
Problem
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(...) for
pairedUUIDsDidChangeNotification
never fires — not on app launch, not after pairing/unpairing, and not after reconnecting the hearing aids.
Because the notification never triggers, calls like:
HearingDeviceSession.shared.pairedDevices
always return an empty list.
What I expected
According to the docs, the notification should be posted whenever paired device UUIDs change, and the session should expose those devices — but nothing happens.
Questions
Does the hearing.aid.app entitlement require special approval from Apple beyond adding it to the entitlements file?
Is there a way to verify that iOS is actually honoring this entitlement?
Has anyone successfully received this notification on a real device?
Any help or confirmation would be greatly appreciated.
Is the accessibility feature, voice command recording available on the Apple Vision Pro? It does not start on my device.
The Apple Vision Pro is on 26.1.
Regular single voice commands work on the Apple Vision Pro.
Recording commands worked on other devices. (iPad and iPhone)
