Unable to Renew Developer Membership - Urgent Help Needed
Hello, I'm facing a critical issue with renewing my Apple Developer membership, and I'm seeking urgent assistance. Here's a summary of my situation: As an iOS developer, I've found that the renew button is nowhere to be found in the Developer apps or on the website. Despite having correct payment methods and sufficient funds, I can't renew my account. I've tried multiple approaches, including: Using both iPhone and Mac Developer App / App Store Trying different browsers Reaching out to support via chat and phone Contacting the US support team directly After nearly 10 days of waiting, the response I received was simply a link to the renewal page, which I had already checked countless times. This response indicates that my situation was not thoroughly reviewed. Meanwhile, my apps have been removed from the store, causing daily financial losses. Waiting indefinitely for a resolution without any clear timeframe is extremely frustrating. Has anyone else faced similar challenges? If you have found a solution, your insights would be greatly appreciated. Any assistance from the community or from Apple Support is urgently needed. Thank you.

Can I block certain iPhone types from using my app?
I have been working on an app, and am really happy with the designs on iPhones 15-11, however every time I use the iPhone SE, the designs look terrible and everything overlaps (yes even with restraints and stack views and what not.) I want to know could I make a seperate version of my app for every iPhone (that isn't the se) and a special dedicated version for SE users? If this isn't possible, can I just block SE users from the app?

In-App Update Feature for iOS
Dear Apple Developer Support, I am seeking information regarding the implementation of in-app updates for iOS applications. Specifically, I would like to know if there is an available SDK or method that allows users to update their apps without being redirected to the App Store. This functionality is essential for enhancing user experience and streamlining the update process within the app itself. Thank you for your assistance.

Transition from "Designed for iPad" to "Mac Catalyst"
Our apps can currently be installed on Apple Silicon Macs via the iPad app on Mac feature (“Designed for iPad”). Now we are working on “proper” (universal) Catalyst-based Mac apps that will be available on the Mac App Store. How does the transition work for users that currently have the iPad version installed? Will they automatically update to the Mac Catalyst app once it’s available, or do they need to re-install the app from the Mac App Store?

App not visible in search results but able to access app through link
My App "Digital Showroom" has been live on App store for ~4 years. Suddenly it stopped showing on search results but i am still able to access and download the app through google search results and link. I've followed all App Store guidelines and have raised the issue with your Support team multiple times. The support team has accepted the issue but no resolution has been provided. Is there any workaround I can try at my end as this is hurting our visibility & causing business loss.

App Store Downloaded Apps Deletion
Hello! I would think it would be useful for the App Store to have an feature that deletes the history of downloaded apps, I know that this could be useful for a lot of people that produce art or have an business that you mainly run on your iPad or iPhone for example and require downloading plenty of useless apps that you delete, You can make it more organized than just hiding them and they keeping space in the hidden section, I just think that it would be an amazing feature for everyone replacing the usual ”hiding”

IAP
If the "restore" button is clicked and there was no previous purchase, currently nothing happens. Ideally there should be feedback/notification saying that “No previous purchase was identified.” Any idea, how this can be set up?
