Hello everyone, My Apple Developer account is currently registered in Kosovo as an Individual, and I'm in the process of establishing a Limited Liability Company (Sh.P.K.) in Kosovo. We're planning to introduce auto-renewable subscriptions through Apple In-App Purchases, managed using RevenueCat. In App Store Connect, the Paid Apps Agreement currently shows the status "New", and Apple asks me to update my legal entity information before signing it. Before proceeding, I would like to clarify a few things: Can a legal entity registered in Kosovo (Sh.P.K. / LLC) sign the Paid Apps Agreement and receive revenue from In-App Purchases? Does Apple support payouts directly to a business bank account registered in Kosovo? Are there any restrictions regarding Kosovo banks? Has anyone successfully configured banking and tax information for a Kosovo-registered business? Can I convert my existing Individual Apple Developer membership to an Organization membership after registering the company and obtaining a D-U-N-S number, without affecting my already published app? Are there any additional requirements or limitations for Kosovo-based businesses that I should be aware of? My goal is to use Apple's standard In-App Purchase system rather than an external payment provider. I would particularly appreciate hearing from developers who have successfully completed this process in Kosovo or from anyone who can point me to official Apple documentation. Thank you!

No, it's not me. I've run into a seemingly inapproapriate topic at Redit where a guy or whomever it is suggests that they want to buy an unused developer account because he or she is not able to open one. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/appledevelopers/comments/1xfjodz/buying_a_developer_account/ ) Desperate people do desperate things, but it seems that this person is about cross a red line.

I guess this is mostly a rant but here's my experience as a first time Apple developer. I signed up for Apple developer over two weeks ago on the Apple Developer website, placed a purchase with my company credit card. My account stayed in "pending" for over a week and since nothing seemed to happen, I contacted Apple Support by email. They replied a few days later saying I had to use the Apple Developer app... I go to the Apple Developer app and begin the KYC process. I get this error message: "Your identity couldn't be verified because the ID you submitted isn't accepted for your region or doesn't match the document type you selected. Please try again." My document is a Canadian passport but my business is in the US... I contact Apple support again about 3 days ago. Still waiting for a reply. Wish me luck guys.

I tried to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual from Azerbaijan. I went through the whole process in the Apple Developer app, and my ID documents were accepted, but now I’m stuck on “Enrollment not completed - Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” I contacted Apple Support and they told me: “We can’t verify your identity with the Apple Developer app or provide further assistance with the Apple Account for Apple Developer programs.” I’ve also contacted Apple Developer Support several times through email since 15th June and got no response. Has anyone had the same issue? Is there another way to escalate or re-verify my identity, or a different channel that actually responds?

This has been a bug for a while now on Mac OS. When you sync your desktop/documents folders with iCloud at random moments it gets stuck and never finish uploading. The folder says "waiting to upload" indefinitely. I notice it happens more often when you do a git commit on a folder that is synced with iCloud. Are there any work around for that?

Hello Apple Developer Community, I am seeking assistance with an unresolved Apple Developer Program enrollment issue. I previously attempted to enroll using my Apple Account in 2025. I am now trying to complete enrollment as an individual developer using the same account. Unfortunately, I have been unable to complete the enrollment process successfully. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support and have open support cases. However, the issue remains unresolved, and the contact page only offers email support. I would appreciate guidance on the following: Could a previous enrollment attempt from 2025 affect a new individual enrollment using the same Apple Account? Is there a way to reset or resolve a pending enrollment without creating a new Apple Account? Has anyone experienced a similar issue and successfully resolved it? Is there an alternative official way to reach the Apple Developer enrollment team by phone or request a callback? I am ready to complete the required verification and pay the annual membership fee once enrollment becomes available. Any guidance from Apple engineers or developers who have experienced this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.

iOS 27.2 RC is sending all calls to voice mail on two rings nothing works to resolve the issue.

Hello all, I could use some advice here. We have attempted to register an Apple Developer account, it's been rejected every time with the response that our company (name + DUNS) already has an account. We are a startup (about 4 years old) and no existing employee (founders down) know who would have registered for this account. Apple Support will not provide any details on the account due to privacy concerns and even after being escalated to a senior support rep, the only response I'm able to get from Apple is that I need to know the Team ID and contact persons details in order to do anything with the account. We are completely stuck and may just have to abaondonly building products for the Apple eco-ssytem because of this. IS there any other contact that we can reach out to provide any legal evidence of the companies ownership so we can register our account?

Hi everyone, I'm enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an individual and I'm a bit stuck, so I hope someone from Apple can take a look. A few days ago I paid the €98.99 membership fee in the Apple Developer app on my iPhone. The money was taken from my bank account right away, and the "Apple Developer Program Membership" subscription shows as Active in my subscriptions. The problem is that my iPhone was signed in to the App Store with a different Apple ID than the one I use for my developer account. I only realized that afterwards. Around the same time, Apple asked me to verify my ID. I sent my documents and got the email "We received your documents". Right now: • My developer account on the website shows "Pending" and keeps asking me to "Complete your purchase". • The Apple Developer app says enrollment through the app isn't available for my developer account. • The paid subscription is sitting on my other Apple ID.I don't want to pay a second time. Could you please link the payment I already made to my developer account and activate my membership? I've opened a case with Developer Support (case 103005180042) and added all the details there. Has anyone had this happen with two different Apple IDs? And could someone from Apple Developer Support please check my case? I'm building a game for iOS and can't go any further until the membership is active. Thanks a lot!

What happens Since installing macOS 27.2 b2 (didn't go through b1, might have been there already), the Contacts app has become almost unusable on my two Macs. Opening a contact or moving to the next one often freezes the app for 8 to 10 seconds, with the spinning wheel. It happens many times in a row while browsing the address book. It comes back no matter what I try: restarting, letting iCloud resync the contacts, deleting and recreating cards. Once, it seemed to go away for a couple of minutes upon restarting, but it returned. Both Macs share the same iCloud account (~690 contacts): a MacBook Pro M4 Pro and a Mac mini M4, both on 27.2 b2 (26B5091g). Reported as FB24928119. Technical details All 18 Contacts_*.spin reports show the main thread blocked in CNCDContactFetcher withLockedContext_fetchPosterData, waiting on a synchronous XPC call to com.apple.contacts.poster.api. That service is postersyncd, which syncs Contact Posters. The kernel kills postersyncd with exceeded mem limit: InactiveHard 20 MB (fatal) at 30–35 MB. launchd relaunches it every ~10 s: 74 kills in 26 h on one Mac, 54 in 24 h on the other. log stream --level debug shows the same sequence on every relaunch: START: Background cleanup → Potential cleanup for missingLocalContactIdentifiers → FetchingContacts → killed within the same second. The cleanup never finishes, so it restarts forever. The poster store (group.com.apple.contacts/ContactsMetadata) is ~85 MB, with blobs of up to 9 MB each. The memory limit stays InactiveHard even while Contacts is frontmost. Moving the poster store aside doesn't help: iCloud rebuilds it in ~25 s. Posters deleted from iOS or iCloud.com get a deletion date but are never purged. Question: has anyone else seen this on 27.2 b2? Is there a way to reset the Contact Posters data stored in iCloud?

Hello, After a recent iOS update, I was going through my settings to set restrictions on apps installed on my device, and I noticed this option on each app's page: Learn from this App: "Allow Siri to learn from how you use [App Name] to make suggestions across apps." I turned it off right away, but it left me with several questions. In 2026, Siri has received major updates, including new AI features, and it now communicates with me much more often. Before I decide whether to turn this setting back on, I'd like to understand: What data does Siri collect from each app? For example, does it look at which apps I open and when, what I do inside them, or the content I view? How is that data used to improve suggestions? What does Siri actually do with what it learns? Where is this data processed and stored? Does it stay on my device, or is it sent to Apple's servers or synced through iCloud? How is my personal information protected? Is it linked to my Apple Account, and is it shared with app developers or third parties? How is the content I watch or read used across apps? Could something I view in one app affect suggestions in another app? Can I see or delete what Siri has already learned? If so, how? I know Apple takes privacy and security seriously, so I'm not too worried. But this is one of those features Apple didn't really talk about on stage, so I'd appreciate a clearer explanation of how it works. Thanks!

Hello, My Apple Developer Program membership was terminated on July 28, 2026 under Section 3.2(f) ("fraudulent conduct"). I received no prior warning and no description of the specific conduct. Timeline: Jul 29: Submitted an appeal. Jul 30: Developer Support replied that the case was under senior advisor review. Aug 7: Developer Support asked me to send my reasons for reinstatement by email. I did so on Aug 9. Aug 12: Developer Support replied that the case had been forwarded to the senior team and that an Advisor would contact me if needed. Since then: no update (about 10 weeks). I sent a follow-up on the same case thread today. Background: my only app was a free World Cup score-prediction game using a virtual points system only (no real money, no in-app purchases, no gambling), distributed through TestFlight to a small invite-only group. It was never submitted to the App Store. I have since discontinued it. I have never had another developer account. Questions for the community and for any Apple staff who can see this: Is there an official channel to ask for a status update on a case that has been with the senior team for this long? Has anyone had a similar 3.2(f) case resolved, and roughly how long did the review take? Is there any additional information I should send that would help the review? Case reference: 20000122635332 Thank you.

iOS26系统使用系统键盘录音转文字会造成整个音频模块不能用，其他的app播放视频没有声音。复现概率非常高，请问有解决的办法么？

Hi everyone, I recently tried to enroll in the Apple Developer Program using the Apple Developer app on iOS and completed the payment process. In the iOS app, my status currently shows "Enrollment Pending". However, when I log into the Apple Developer portal via a web browser or the Mac app, it doesn't recognize the payment and redirects me to the payment step again as if I haven't paid. Payment Status: Completed & charged via Apple Developer iOS App. Current App Status: Enrollment Pending. Issue: Web/Mac portal is prompting to pay again instead of showing pending verification. Has anyone experienced a similar delay or syncing issue between the iOS app purchase and the web portal? How long does it usually take to process, or should I contact Apple Developer Support immediately? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, I paid for an apple developer program membership on 9th October and I received a reciept via email immediately. My account still shows as pending payment. I opened a support case on 19th October and I've heard nothing. Can I get some help to resolve this?

Hi there! i have a similar issue as this guy (Link), but on my iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 16.4 (20E5229e). Without really using the wallet, it accounts for a huge portion of battery usage (see below). Does anyone of you have a similar issue?

I paid for the Apple Developer Program on October 16 and received the invoice on October 18. On October 17 Apple asked me to verify my ID. I sent the documents the same day and got a reply confirming they had arrived. More than two days later my membership still isn’t active, and the account page hasn’t changed. I’ve opened a case with Developer Support (case 103001474992) and also talked to regular apple support through chat yesterday where they first bounced be over to the developer team(?) and then they bounced me over to the technical team who I had a call with today, but they said the developer program can only be handled by developer.apple.com and provided no help. I have an app ready for iOS and can’t go any further until the membership is active. I need to demo my app live at an award ceremony tomorrow night and need people to be able to install it. This is the biggest day for my app so far and I'm worried I won't be able to use it. Please help. It's really time sensitive.

I am experiencing a severe Photos Search/People indexing problem on a Mac Studio running the final release of macOS 27. I first reported this during the macOS 27 beta cycle and have provided extensive diagnostics and updates through Feedback Assistant. Feedback: FB24521305 Resolution: Open Recent Similar Reports: More than 10 My iCloud Photos library contains approximately 164,000 items and is synchronized between my Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The photographs themselves are present on the Mac, and newly taken photographs synchronize normally. However, Photos Search and People & Pets on the Mac remain severely incomplete. Direct searches of the same synchronized library currently give: Frequently photographed Person A Mac Photos Search: 3 results Mac People & Pets: 6 images iPhone Photos Search: 2,390 results The 3 images returned by Mac Search are different from the 6 images in the People & Pets album. Person B Mac Photos Search: 0 results Mac People & Pets: 2 images iPhone Photos Search: 66 results Location search — Costa Rica Mac Photos Search: 37 results iPhone Photos Search: 350 results After installation of macOS 27 final, Mac Photos Search briefly showed substantial rebuilding activity. For example, a search for "2026" increased from 566 results to 4,455, and "Deer" increased from 79 to 908. Searches that had previously displayed an indefinitely spinning progress indicator also began returning results. However, that apparent rebuilding has not progressed to completion. Nearly two weeks later, People recognition/association remains extremely incomplete, location Search remains incomplete, and the Mac and iPhone return dramatically different results from the same synchronized iCloud Photos library. I have left Photos running for extended periods to allow background analysis to complete. Previous controlled tests also established that the Mac receives photographs and their correct date/time metadata and can index some newly received assets almost immediately. At this point the evidence appears to indicate a problem with the Mac Photos analysis/Search/People indexing process rather than iCloud Photos synchronization or missing assets. Could an Apple engineer please confirm whether FB24521305 has been routed to the appropriate Photos engineering team? I would be happy to provide additional diagnostics or perform specific controlled tests if requested.

We submitted our app on the 8th, and ever since, it has been stuck on “Waiting for Review” with absolutely no progress or communication from the App Review team. We’ve sent multiple emails, opened several tickets, spoken to different advisors, and even submitted an expedited review request. The last advisor I spoke with confirmed that the expedited request had been accepted, yet the status remains unchanged. Honestly, this is beyond frustrating. For a company with a $5 trillion market cap, you’d expect a little more accountability, transparency, and respect for developers who rely on your platform. Instead, we’re left chasing updates, opening tickets, and having the same conversations over and over again, with nothing to show for it. At this point, capitalism is truly at its peak: record-breaking valuations, but seemingly zero urgency when it comes to supporting the developers who help build the ecosystem. Unbelievable.

I’ve been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual for about two years now and I’ve hit a wall I can’t get past. Every attempt ends with “Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” I’ve tried from the web, from the Apple Developer app, and from my iPhone. No VPN, real credit card, legal name on my Apple Account matches my ID. I’m 21. For context, this Apple Account was set up by my parents years ago when I was younger. It’s not a child account and it’s fully mine now, but it is an old account, and I don’t know if its age or history has anything to do with this. I’ve opened multiple support cases. The latest reply, case says Developer Support can’t verify my identity with the Apple Developer app and can’t provide further assistance with my Apple Account for developer programs. It doesn’t say what failed or what I can change. Every email I send gets a version of that same reply. Phone isn’t an option either. Both numbers I could find say the contact method changed and send me back to the web form, which only gives me email. The Call Me option never shows up on the contact page for me during US support hours.
