I have paid the enrollment tax with a debit card from my business parter. My account still not enrolled at development program. I have 2 tickets at apple support since 06/23 and nothing was done. Any suggestions?

I'm sharing a recovery workaround for recurring Sidecar “The device timed out” failures. I have verified that this procedure restored connectivity on three separate occurrences: October 5, 6, and 12, 2026, using the same Mac and iPad. Environment and symptoms MacBook Air (M4), macOS 26.6.2. iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation), iPadOS 26.6.2. Sidecar used as an extended display over USB. During the failures, the iPad was unlocked and paired/trusted, and the USB network interface remained active and reachable. New Sidecar connection attempts timed out after approximately 10 seconds with SidecarErrorDomain (-201). Recovery procedure Prerequisites: Xcode installed and selected for command-line tools, and an unlocked iPad connected to the Mac via USB. The iPad must trust the Mac and have Developer Mode enabled for this devicectl workflow. Run these commands in Terminal on the Mac: List devices and identify the affected iPad: xcrun devicectl list devices List processes on that iPad: xcrun devicectl device info processes --device "<DEVICE_ID>" Find the entry whose executable path is exactly /usr/libexec/SidecarRelay, and note its current PID. Force-terminate that process on the iPad: xcrun devicectl device process terminate \ --device "<DEVICE_ID>" \ --pid <PID> \ --kill Replace the placeholders with your iPad's identifier and the PID just obtained. Target the iPad-side relay, and obtain a fresh PID whenever the issue recurs. Reconnect the iPad from macOS System Settings → Displays → Add Display, or Control Center → Screen Mirroring. Verified result and limitations On all three occasions, terminating only the iPad's old SidecarRelay and reconnecting restored USB extended-display operation. Neither device needed a reboot, and no account sign-out or settings reset was required. A new iPad SidecarRelay process appeared on reconnection; the Mac-side relay remained running. On the first occurrence, an ordinary termination attempt without --kill left the same iPad process alive; the force-termination step was necessary in that test. This is a recovery workaround, not a confirmed permanent fix. The initiating trigger and internal failure mechanism remain unknown. Controlled tests of normal disconnection, short sleep with the cable connected, and disconnect → unplug → sleep → wake → reconnect did not reliably reproduce the persistent timeout. These results do not prove a deadlock or establish unplugging/sleep as the cause. If you are investigating the underlying trigger, capture diagnostics while the failure is present, before terminating the relay. A similar recovery approach is documented in Lontronix's “Kick SidecarRelay” gist.

I enrolled in Apple Developer Program and paid on February 5th. Payment was successfully processed, but my enrollment was never completed. The developer portal still prompts me to pay again. I have sent multiple emails with no response. This has been delaying my app launch for 2+ weeks. How do I get this resolved?

Hello everyone!! 😊🤗 I'm starting to learn development for Apple platforms and I'd like to ask for some guidance on how to get started. My goal is to gradually develop my own video game using Xcode and Reality Composer Pro. The idea is to create an educational game with 3D environments and elements, so I also want to learn programming, experience design, and 3D content creation as I progress ⭐️ At the moment, I don't have much money to afford to hire developers to mentor me or take expensive courses 😔( My mother is sick and all our resources and budget are focused on her and her treatment. ) but I do have something I think is very important: a strong desire to learn, time, and the willingness to study and practice. I don't expect someone else to do the project for me; I want to learn how to build it myself. My main question is: where should I begin? I already have experience playing Swift Playgrounds, and I find it fascinating 🤩 but I'm looking for the next step: I'd like to know what Apple concepts, courses, documentation, or resources you would recommend I study first to learn how to use Xcode and Reality Composer Pro correctly, especially with the Apple Developer tutorials. Which videos specifically do you recommend I study? If anyone started in a similar way or has experience developing apps or games with these tools, I would greatly appreciate any advice on a learning path. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any guidance you can give me! You truly don't know what this means to me. Thank you so much. 🙏🚀

Hi everyone, I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual so I can release apps on the App Store, but I keep hitting this error: “Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” Details: Enrolling as an Individual Account has existed for several years (not a new/spam account) I’m a student Error appears every time I try (both on web and in the Developer app) No Enrollment ID is shown I’ve already checked that my legal name matches my Apple ID and that two-factor authentication is enabled. Has anyone else run into this exact message recently and resolved it? I’ve also submitted a support request via developer.apple.com/contact under Membership and Account → Program Enrollment. If anyone from Apple sees this or if other developers have tips (account flags, region mismatches, etc.), I’d really appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

Dear Apple Team, Regarding the Central Kurdish keyboard, In the recent iOS updates, the layout of the letters was changed significantly, which has made typing extremely difficult and uncomfortable for us. We kindly request that you fix this issue as soon as possible by reverting the keyboard layout to the previous version. Thank you.

Hi everyone! I’m a developer and recently built my own app, which I’m really excited to launch. However, my app has now been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for over two weeks, and the review process hasn’t started yet. I’ve already contacted Apple Support three times by email, but unfortunately, I haven’t received a response. I understand that review times can vary, but waiting this long without any updates is becoming frustrating, especially as an independent developer looking forward to launching my first app. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? If so, how did you resolve it? Is there a way to escalate the issue or contact Apple Developer Support by phone? It is for me not possible to do it from my cases.. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help.

New system new feature

Running macOS 27.2 Beta 3 , though the problem began in macOS 26. In the App Store, I can not buy anything because the dialog box for that does not have any way to exit other than CANCEL See image.

Hello Apple Developer Support, My organization's Apple Developer Program enrollment has been pending for over 30 days. I have already sent two support emails without receiving a response. Phone support is currently unavailable due to high call volumes, leaving me without a way to escalate this issue. Could someone from Apple Developer Support please review my enrollment or advise how to escalate it to the team responsible for organization verification? I can provide my Enrollment ID and support case number privately if needed. Thank you.

Hi, I’m looking for guidance regarding a new Apple Developer account and membership enrollment. I previously had an Apple Developer account associated with another business. I no longer intend to use that account and plan to close/delete it. About two weeks ago, I created a new Apple Developer account for a different business and submitted the enrollment for the Apple Developer Program. However, the new membership has still not been activated. I want to make sure the previous developer account is not causing an issue with the new enrollment, and I’d like to understand whether there is anything else I need to provide or complete in order to get the new membership activated. Has anyone experienced a similar situation, or is there a specific Apple Developer Support team I should contact to have the enrollment reviewed? Thank you.

So my timeline is this: Got MBP 16' in March with graphics options: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB Up until 10.15.5 came out, I had zero problems/crashes and I always have the laptop closed and an external display connected with an official Apple A/V adapter using HDMI. As soon as I installed 10.15.5 the panics started happening. Reason:&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9; (1 monitored services unresponsive): checkin with service: WindowServer returned not alive with context: unresponsive work processor(s): WindowServer main thread&#9;40 seconds since last successful checkin Literally after the update ended, I didn't touch the laptop for some time, the external monitor went to sleep and the laptop panic'ed and rebooted. I installed apps like Caffeine to prevent the external monitor from going to sleep and managed to continue working. Some days after this the crashes started happening even when the monitor was not going to sleep. Usually when using apps that put some strain on the video such as video conferencing apps. These crashes started to become more frequent. The display froze, for about 2 minutes, the laptop started getting very warm and the fans would not go faster, then after 2 minutes the fans go into turbo mode for about 1 second and the laptop reboots. After this I reverted to 10.15.4 and reset SMC, etc, and the panics when the display goes to sleep are gone, but the crashes when I'm using the computer continue. I tried ditching the adapter and using a usb-c displayport cable but the problem remained. As a final test, I unplugged everything from the laptop and disabled "automatic graphics switching" to force the AMD to be used even with no external display. Sure enough, I was able to reproduce the issue. So it seems not related to an external display, but the AMD card itself (which is always used when an external display is connected). Sad times.

Hello, it's almost been a week since I originally signed up and paid for enrolling in the developer program. I've also raised a ticket two days ago, but I haven't heard back. I'm based in Germany. Does anybody know how long it usually takes and why it might be stuck? I read somewhere that they might request for some additional verification or documents or ID, but I've not received anything like that either.

TL;DR Requesting a system-level iOS feature or API to prioritize background audio over foreground app interruptions for enhanced neurodivergent accessibility. Granular Audio Session Priority and Control Center Override For users who rely on parallel cognitive processing - such as neurodivergent individuals managing attention through sensory layering like jumping across apps - abrupt audio interruptions are deeply disruptive. One scenario - a user is deep in cognitive flow listening to audio via Apple Music. They then switch to Instagram to check a text or post as natural neurodivergent attention switching and a video automatically fires up audio and instantly cuts the track playing on Apple Music. Regaining the audio stream requires manual intervention and therefore a breaking of focus. Proposal - I would love and suggest a native iOS feature or Control Center overlay allowing users to define audio hierarchy across apps, e.g. by locking background media as primary; open for ideas of course. This may as well be useful in therapeutical setups to easily silence potential notifications of lower priority over audio media designed to sensorically set guidelines for a session. Scope - while potentially helpful to users in the audio engineering and music playing scene running third-party-apps like Ableton and such, the feature request is intended to assist a basic and non-teh-savvy iOS user. Technical Question - is there any undocumented or upcoming capability within ⁠AVAudioSession⁠ categories/modes that could allow a developer to gracefully intercept or suppress automatic audio ducking/interruption from third-party foreground apps? PS First post. Nothing similar found on the forum. Nice request. Would love feedback or a technical review on feasibility.

I’m seeing what looks very similar to Feedback ID FB24937933 on an iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 27.0.1. The two apps I can reproduce it most consistently with are Robinhood Banking 2.23.1 and Duolingo 7.142.0. Symptoms App opens to the splash/logo screen and hangs. After roughly 20 seconds, iOS kills it. Robinhood Banking briefly worked after forcing a sign-out and reauthentication, then the problem returned. Most other apps now work normally. Timeline I was on a Caribbean cruise Sept. 27–Oct. 2, including Jamaica and the Bahamas. I used ship Wi-Fi and different networks while in port. Robinhood Banking was still working while I was in the Bahamas. The issue started the day I got back, Oct. 2. At first, App Store updates were also hanging and not starting. Troubleshooting already done Normal restart and force restart Airplane Mode Wi-Fi only / cellular only Multiple unrelated Wi-Fi networks Separate mobile hotspot DNS changes, then back to Automatic No VPN Private Relay / Limit IP Address Tracking disabled for testing Checked app/location permissions Freed storage Fully deleted and reinstalled the affected apps Signed out/in where possible Reset network settings OTA iOS update attempted, but it sat on “Update Requested” for hours Updated successfully to iOS 27.0.1 through Windows Robinhood confirmed there is no account restriction Removed old trusted devices and fully reauthenticated Regular Robinhood works normally and the physical card still works Crash logs Both apps are being terminated with EXC_CRASH / SIGKILL / 0x8BADF00D. Robinhood shows a scene-create watchdog timeout after about 20 seconds. Duolingo’s watchdog event is slightly different, but the important part is that both apps’ main threads are blocked in the same path while iOS is setting up a background NSURLSession and waiting for a synchronous XPC response. That common stack across two unrelated apps is what makes this look system-level rather than app-specific. At this point I’ve reproduced it across different networks, after reinstalling the apps, after reauthentication, after a network reset, and after updating iOS through a computer. The cruise may be unrelated, but it’s the only major change immediately before this started. Has anyone found a way to reset or restart whatever iOS service handles background NSURLSession/XPC traffic without erasing the phone?

Hello hi Good Day :) My name is Daniel and I'm interested in programming and maybe I'll find my place here
