Hello! I am preparing a couple of apps for approval, and suddenly can not upload screenshots to the app store. When I drag and drop into the interface, it accepts them, shows that they are being processed, and after a minute or so, says that there is a problem, and to try again later. It's been doing this for more than a day. Has anyone else seen this? Dave

Title: Apple Developer enrollment paid, but account now shows “Not Eligible” Hello, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program using my Apple Account. I completed the enrollment process and paid the membership fee using Apple Pay. The payment was successfully charged, and during the enrollment process I was told that I would receive an email shortly regarding the enrollment. However, I never received that email. When I now log in to my Apple Developer account, it says that my account is not eligible for the Apple Developer Program. The membership fee has already been charged, so I would like to understand what happened to my enrollment and whether the payment can be associated with my application. Could someone please advise me on what I should do next or how I can have the enrollment and payment reviewed? Thank you.

Hi, I'm enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an individual. I made a mistake in my address during enrollment. I tried to start the enrollment again with the same Apple Account, but it brings back the same wrong address and I can't edit it. The Membership details section doesn't appear in my account because the enrollment is still pending. Type: Individual Payment: paid on November 8th 2026 ID verification: not uploaded yet Could someone from Apple please: Correct the address on my enrollment, or reset it so I can enter the right address myself? Cancel any duplicate enrollment, so only one remains? I'm happy to provide proof of address. I haven't uploaded my ID or continued, because I don't want the wrong address verified. Thank you!

I recently paid for my Apple developer on Apple approve it for few minutes later I get this message from Apple " We're having a problem with your payment. Order Number: D005486847 Ordered On November 13, 2026 To avoid a delay in receiving your order, contact us via the Developer page to change your payment information. You may contact your card provider to find more information. If after 7 days we're still unable to process your payment, your order will be canceled. If you have any questions, contact us at devpayment@apple.com. For your protection, do not submit credit card information via email or form. " I can help, but feel it will be all successful. what should i do?

Hello Apple Developer Support, I purchased the Apple Developer Program membership two days ago, and my order is confirmed in the Apple Store - Order Number W1814011542 | Ordered on November 07, 2026. However, my Apple Developer account still prompts me to purchase the membership and says to allow 48 hours for processing. More than 48 hours have now passed, and my membership remains inactive. I have also submitted a support request, but the issue is still unresolved. Could you please check my payment and enrollment status, confirm whether any further action is required from me, and let me know when my membership will be activated? Is it normal for activation to take longer than 48 hours? My previous support case ID is 30000009068984. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi everyone, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual (Argentina) on November 2 and paid the US$99 fee. The payment is confirmed. On November 3–4 I uploaded my national ID (DNI) as requested, and Apple confirmed receipt. Since then, nothing has changed: the account still isn't active and I haven't received any further emails. Right now I'm getting two contradictory messages: In the Apple Developer app, it says enrollment can't be completed from the app. On the website (https://www.google.com/url?q=http://developer.apple.com/account&source=gmail&ust=1794536143988000&sa=E), it shows "Purchase your membership", as if I hadn't paid. But the charge already went through and I have the order confirmation. I don't want to pay twice, so I haven't touched that button. What I've tried: Opened a support case (Case ID 30000004906936) and followed up by email from the case page. No reply so far. Tried to request a phone call, but it shows as unavailable due to high volume. My app is ready to submit (it's already in closed testing on Google Play), and everything on the iOS side is blocked until the membership is activated. Is this normal while the ID is under review? Is there anything else I can do, or could someone from Apple take a look at the case? Thanks!

I’m posting because several developers have reported lengthy delays with Digital Services Act trader verification, with little visibility into what is happening or when they can expect a decision. Some developers report waiting more than four weeks, others two weeks. My own verification has been pending for 10 days. Contacting support does not always help: developers describe receiving no response, or waiting another two weeks for a reply. We understand that verification takes time and that some cases require additional checks. What is frustrating is the uncertainty: no meaningful status updates, no clear indication of whether anything is missing, and no reliable timeframe. We pay an annual Apple Developer Program membership fee... that does not mean every request should receive immediate approval, but timely communication and respectful support are reasonable expectations especially when these processes affect our ability to distribute an app and plan a launch. What is the current expected timeframe for DSA trader verification...When should developers escalate a pending verification, and through which channel? How can we confirm whether our submission is complete or requires additional information? Can developers receive meaningful progress updates instead of remaining indefinitely in “Pending Review”? For developers who have recently completed this process, how long did it take, and was there a support channel that actually helped? The concern is not simply waiting. It is having no useful information or assistance while we wait.

I'm excited to see the announcement of Swift Student Challenge 27, but I have a couple of questions: The rules mention that Xcode Apps are allowed. Does this mean we can create and submit a folder containing an .xcodeproj file instead of a .swiftpm Swift Playgrounds package? While it's great to see support across all Apple platforms this year, I'm a bit concerned about whether the judges will test submissions on physical devices or in the simulator. I had a similar concern last year (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/812429). Thanks!

Hi, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual on 1 November 2026 (region: Qatar). The membership fee was charged to my card, and I received an invoice from Apple on 2 November 2026 (Order number: D005431357). It has now been more than 10 days, and my enrollment is still showing as pending. The usual processing time is up to 48 hours. What has happened so far: • Enrollment started on 1 November 2026 • Payment taken and invoice received on 2 November 2026 • Identity verification with my passport submitted on 2 November 2026 — no update or response since • Contacted Apple Developer Support (Case ID: 30000008290092). Support says they can't find my payment/invoice, even though I have the invoice and the charge on my bank statement • No reply to my follow-ups I haven't created any duplicate enrollments, as I don't want to complicate things further. Could someone from Apple please look into this enrollment and link the payment to my account, or advise on the correct escalation path? I'm happy to provide the invoice and bank confirmation privately. Thank you.

Hi, I am a student from Singapore and want to partcipate in this challenge. But I have not reached the age requirement of 16 listed in the "Eligibility and requirements" page and I am also not a citizen of Singapore. So my question is whether the age requirement is based on your citizenship or where you reside.

i have membership, bought 2 weeks ago but several days later i have this issue Before you can use TestFlight to distribute beta builds of your app, you must renew your Apple Developer Program membership.

Hello Apple Developer Support, My Organization enrollment was submitted on October 29, 2026. After verification, I received instructions to purchase the membership, and on November 2, 2026 I placed the order. I received the order acknowledgement email ("Apple Developer Program, US$ 99 — will be processed within 2 business days"). However, 10 days later: My card has never been charged, and no authorization request reached my bank. My account page still shows "Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now. Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process." I have not received an activation email. I opened a support case on November 5, 2026, but have received only the automatic confirmation and no reply. I have not submitted another payment to avoid a duplicate charge. Enrollment ID: 5ST2Q57YN6 Case ID: 30000005177773 Enrollment type: Organization Country: Uzbekistan Could you please check my order and either complete the activation or reset the stuck order so I can complete the payment? Thank you.

I've reported a longstanding macOS Spaces input-reliability issue to Apple: typing and scrolling are ignored during the slow final tail of a Space-switching animation, even when the destination looks ready. It happens with multi-finger trackpad swipes across my Macs and interrupts my work countless times a day, including when switching to Screen Sharing. To reproduce, leave a focused text editor on one Space, swipe away and back, and start typing as the destination settles but before the transition fully finishes. Compare with typing after completion. Repeat with a scrollable window. Reduce Motion changes the slide to a fade but doesn't solve the interaction delay for me. The desired fix is to accept input on the destination once the switch is committed, while preserving the spatial animation. Has anyone found a supported way for destination apps to receive input during this interval, or confirmed the same behavior on their current macOS version?

Date Free RAM at event TGOnDeviceInferenceProviderServi usage Sep 17 ~50 MB ~395 MB Sep 19 ~1.46 GB not in top processes Sep 20–22 ~215–246 MB not in top processes Sep 24 ~28 MB ~480 MB (highest so far) The pattern: the process appears to accumulate memory over ~3-5 days, then either gets cleared (reboot?) or briefly disappears from the top consumers, only to reappear and grow even larger than before. This has led to multiple Jetsam kill events (system processes like FindingUI, tipsd, cryptexd being terminated due to memory pressure) and noticeable UI lag when swiping between Home Screen pages / opening the App Switcher. Steps already taken (no lasting effect): • Confirmed Apple Intelligence + all related sub-toggles (Priority Notifications, Siri Suggestions per-app) are off • Multiple reboots (temporarily clears the issue, recurs within days) • Uninstalled unrelated resource-heavy apps (unrelated, but ruled out as a contributing factor) • Submitted Jetsam reports via Feedback Assistant (no response, as expected for that channel) Question: Has anyone else seen TGOnDeviceInferenceProviderServi retaining/growing memory usage on iOS 27.0 even with Apple Intelligence disabled? Is this a known on-device model caching issue, and is there a way to force it to release memory without a full reboot?

Hi Apple Developer Forums, I’m a heavy user of the Shortcuts app and the new multiple timers in iOS have been incredibly helpful. However, there is one limitation that makes them hard to use in automations. Right now, the “Start Timer” action in Shortcuts does not let you set a Label for the timer. This means when a timer created by a shortcut goes off, I can’t tell what it was for (for example, a 15‑minute laundry timer vs. a 15‑minute tea timer), even though labeled timers already work perfectly in the Clock app. Feature request: please add a Label field to the “Start Timer” action in Shortcuts so automations can create named timers, just like in the Clock app. This would make multiple timers much more practical for automation and for power users. Thank you for considering this improvement.

Regression in external display identification. Two identical ASUS XG27UCDMG monitors connected directly to a MacBook Air M5 are incorrectly deduplicated into a single external display. macOS enumerates only one external display despite hardware support for two external displays and independent operation of each monitor when connected separately. This was fixed in MacOS 27 but the two most recent updates and the latest 27.2.1 have broken it again.

Hello, good afternoon, I was wondering if I can enter the Swift Student Challenge without being enrolled in an accredited or specialized school in programming. Well, all I know about programming is because I am self-taught and I started learning to program on my own in Swift but in the requirements it says that I need to be in an accredited or specialized school to enter, but I really want to enter and I have been preparing to enter for a long time. Thank you in advance for your response.

I'm almost certain this is a repeat post of another post somewhere that I can't find it's probably categorized under other or something. I've sent three emails through the developer portal first one was a good help with a new issue and the two subsequent emails were get help with a recent issue. I have an app that is early stages of deployment. It is a mostly prototype phase app, but I am as with most things attempting to sample and test the market. The app is compliant with all Apple requirements (this is not my first app). and validating the code as well as testing on TestFlight, there do not appear to be any number of bugs that would crash or degrade the performance of the iPhone more significantly than any other aspect. It does implement AI and 3-D environments so there is capacity to degrade the battery if run for too long however I do not see any rules or specifications that identify that as a disqualifying factor. After running the app, it is not extremely different than running any social media site for prolonged periods in terms of battery consumption. I guess what I'm trying to get around to saying is I have not received any response from the Apple developer support team. Which is inconsistent and incongruent with typical Apple experience. This inevitably leads to concern as to who or why there is a significant delay in response. with the changing of the corporate executive, obviously there is potential for a change in both both performance and policies. Obviously nothing Apple would struggle terribly with. So again, I inquire where is everyone?

After updating my MacBook Pro (M4) to macOS 27.3 Beta (26C5035r), application windows flicker or flash while I drag them. They also unexpectedly jump to random positions and change size. This did not happen before the update. I have isolated the behavior to the "Show Menu Bar Background" setting ("Menü çubuğu arka planını göster" in Turkish). With this setting enabled, the problem occurs. Disabling it completely eliminates the problem on the same Mac. Steps to reproduce: Enable "Show Menu Bar Background" in System Settings. Open an application window and drag it by its title bar around the desktop. Observe the flickering/flashing and unexpected changes in position and size. Disable "Show Menu Bar Background" and repeat the dragging action. The problem disappears. Expected behavior: Windows should move smoothly with the pointer and keep their size unless intentionally resized. Actual behavior: Dragged windows flicker, jump, and resize unexpectedly when the menu bar background is enabled. Workaround: Leave "Show Menu Bar Background" disabled. Has anyone else encountered this after the same update? Is there another workaround that allows the menu bar background to remain enabled?
