Hello,
We‘ve submitted for enrollment as an organization in December. So far it is still pending, and we get same reply from developer support team:
Your enrollment is pending.
How else can we contact Apple team? How long can this take?

Hi
I have problem with my enrolment for developer account. I make a request for enrolment 3 days ago and the status is still pending
I ordered the enrollment november 19th, and till this day (december 2nd) i've got no reply. Ordered again November 25th, and still no reply.
I've been trying to create my Apple Developer account for over a month with absolutely no response from Apple. I've even resubmitted my application, but still nothing.
My situation:
Applied over 20 days ago
Resubmitted application once
Zero communication from Apple
No status updates or timeline provided
This complete lack of feedback is extremely frustrating and unprofessional. Other platforms process developer registrations in days, not months, and actually communicate with applicants.
Has anyone experienced similar delays? How long did it take for your account to be approved?
I'm seriously considering switching to other platforms due to this poor experience. Apple's silence is unacceptable for a company of this size.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I'm currently transferring an iOS app to a new Apple Developer account and following the process outlined in Apple’s documentation:
🔗 TN3159 - Migrating Sign in with Apple users for an app transfer
The process for generating transfer_identifiers and migrating existing users is clear, and I don’t expect issues with that part.
However, I have a question about preserving the user session after the transfer.
My setup:
The app uses Sign in with Apple via a backend-based authentication flow.
On login, the app retrieves the authorization_code and sends it to the backend.
The backend exchanges the code for tokens from Apple, including a refresh_token.
That refresh_token is then used on the backend to validate the user’s identity on subsequent requests.
My concern:
Once I initiate the app transfer, migrate users, and update the backend with new Apple credentials (client ID, team ID, etc.), I assume that the existing tokens issued under the old credentials will become invalid.
So my question is:
Is there a way to maintain the user’s authenticated session through this transition without requiring them to manually sign in again?
I’d like to ensure a seamless experience for users, if possible.

Hi there,
Last week i was finally able to get through and purchase my membership for the Apple Developer Program.
The problem is, even though I already paid, it keeps saying:
"Purchase your membership.
To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now, Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process."
I've tried to reach out to apple developer support numerous times, but no reply whatsoever...
What do i do at this point?

Hi Everyone,
I have signed up and paid (it has come off my Credit Card) for Apple Developer last Thursday and my account has been stuck on:
"Purchase your membership.
To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now
Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process."
I have emailed them and have not received a reply. I want to give them a call but they are also not available for calls either.
I have looked to see if the reason they are being slow is because of the Christmas/New Year period but couldn't find any information.
What can I do?
Thanks
I think from January 2025 I'm trying to become a developer for apple. The process was an adventure.
First time I used the website to become a registered developer. All good until i wasn't able to make any inputs in a disabled required field that was required but empty.
I said ok, I'll try to use their support to guide me. After couple of mails I've understood that those answers were like: "sorry for inconvenience but try again maybe you didn't do something as expected". I've restarted the process many times and did tried, nothing worked. So... go back to email with support (note, there is no quick reply, sometimes it takes near a week or so to respond: and the response is "try again, sorry to hear that, let us know if we can help you")
After a month or so i got an email that told me to use the application to enroll. So I decided to use it. So I've canceled my active enroll and moved to the device. My iPad Pro didn't worked, so I moved to MacBook Pro and tried from there with the Developer App. Didn't work....
Go back to email support.
After a while they told me that is an issue with my card and they can't get my money from it, (is the same that I'm using on their store to buy app and it works without any issue).
After another months spent on emails (copule because of their response timing, maximum 2 reply each week) and after I said I'll do my best to find someone from their management to let them know the nightmare that I'm forced to live with the support team, they said let me call you. They called me and their tool for remote view desktop didn't worked so it was like, do this, do that, I did, I did, I tried...ok let's try one more time and don't touch anything after.
I did what they said and they told me that I'll be contacted soon. 2-3 days I waited for the call and...nothing... I did sent reply email support to understand the status of enrollment.
I got this:
"
Thanks for your message. I will be happy to provide a status update.
Your orders have not been successful. I am trying once again today.
Since it is Friday, it will take a little longer to process.
I will check on it again on Monday, when we are back in the office.
Kind regards,
"
And today is Tuesday and nothing...
I did asked also if you can't take my money just let me know the error that you receive so I'll be able to contact card issuer and ask to verify if that is an issue with it. I did asked and they told me they don't see any issue.
Now I'm stuck,,,,
Do I need to contact Tim just to open a developer account? I think he's busy with more important stuff.

I'm facing an issue with revoking an iOS Development certificate in the Apple Developer Console. The certificate is in "Pending Approval" status, and when I attempt to revoke it, I receive the following error:
"The specified resource does not exist. There is no certificate with ID 'XXXXXXXXX' on this team."
Despite this error, the certificate still appears in my list, and the only available action remains "Revoke."
Steps I've tried so far:
Refreshed the page and cleared the browser cache
Logged out and back into my Developer account
Tried using different browsers (Safari, Chrome)
Checked Xcode > Preferences > Accounts for certificate status
Contacting Apple Support (Not response since over 3 weeks)
Additional Info:
The certificate type is iOS Development, not Distribution.
The status has been "Pending Approval" since creation.
I can't create a developer account.
Setting to admin role does not work, follow the invite and then verify email, after that get shown a phone prompt, used every number I have that has SMS, or tried callbacks...
{
"service_errors" : [ {
"code" : "-28248",
"message" : "Verification codes can’t be sent to this phone number at this time. Please try again later.",
"suppressDismissal" : false
} ],
"hasError" : true
}

Dear Apple Support Team,
I am Tianwei Yue. I received your email this morning regarding the immediate termination of our Apple Developer Program License Agreement and Apple Developer Agreement, citing alleged fraudulent behavior and violation of certain terms. We were very surprised by this notice and are deeply concerned about the matter.
Firstly, the email mentioned that if we wish to file an official complaint under the applicable Platform Regulation, we could do so by contacting you via “Contact Us”. However, when I logged in with my account and clicked the “Contact Us” link, the system responded with “You’re not eligible to make this request”. We would appreciate guidance on how to properly submit an official complaint or if there is an alternative way to get in touch for further assistance.
Secondly, we operate the “mathos ai” application under this account, which currently enjoys over one million users and maintains a rating of 4.6 on the App Store. Our team has always been proactive in handling user accounts, refunds, and payment issues, and we are committed to providing high-quality service to our users. Therefore, we are puzzled by the suspension of our account and believe there might be some misunderstanding or miscommunication. We sincerely hope to connect with the appropriate Apple personnel to understand the issue in detail and provide any necessary additional information to resolve any concerns.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read our email. We look forward to your response and guidance.
Sincerely,
Tianwei Yue

Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a frustrating delay with my Apple Developer Program enrollment and I’m hoping someone here can help or escalate the issue.
I had previously completed the enrollment process and was approved, but after opening the Apple Developer app on my iPad, the entire progress reset for some reason. I was forced to start the process again from scratch, including submitting all required documents.
Last time, my documents were verified and approved within 7 days. However, this time, it’s been over a month since I submitted my documents and there's been no progress.
I contacted Apple Developer Support, but they responded saying it would take an “undetermined amount of time,” without providing any explanation, timeline, or guidance. That’s extremely concerning, especially since I’ve already gone through this once before.
This delay is affecting my ability to move forward with game releases and business plans. I’m more than willing to provide any additional documentation if needed, but I’m currently stuck with no idea what’s going on.
Can someone from the Apple team please:
Check the status of my enrollment using Enrollment ID: 772673548
Let me know if there are any issues that require action from my side
Or help escalate this for review?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Hello.
I've moved from France to the UK a year ago and submitted changes regarding my new address and phone number. After several months, my phone number was reverted to the old French one (which I no longer have access to).
Since then, I've been trying to update it, submitting numerous support tickets, but have gotten nowhere. Support isn't helpful; they are misunderstanding the Apple Developer phone number with my iCloud number, suggesting I update it myself in the iCloud settings (which is not related at all).
One of the tickets was escalated to senior developer support, but I received the same reply: to update the number myself in my iCloud settings (which, again, is not relevant). I log in to my account using a passkey, but I'm still afraid of losing access to my account at any time.
Since support is ghosting me, I don't have any other choice left rather but to ask for help here.
My ticket number is 102519091037.

你好,我在尝试从开发环境同步到生产环境时遇到了内部错误

I have an application that uses WeatherKit for which I use the registered identifier com.[mycompanyname].[myappname] .
I'm now developing a second application using WeatherKit, so I need to create a new identifier on https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/identifiers/add/appId/bundle so that WeatherKit will recognize requests from com.[mycompanyname].[myappname2].
(in this post, I'm using "[xxx]" instead of the real strings)
When I go to create an identifier for the new app, I get the error message:
An attribute in the provided entity has invalid value
An App ID with Identifier 'com.[mycompanyname].[myappname2]' is not available. Please enter a different string.
Can anybody explain why I can't register the new app name, and how I can fix this?

Context:
I recently encountered an issue while trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program with my personal Apple ID, and I need guidance on how to resolve it.
A few months ago, I helped a client set up an Apple Developer account because they didn’t have an iPhone, Mac, or even an Apple ID. To assist them, I created an Apple ID for them and used my iPhone (via the Apple Developer app) to enroll their account in the Apple Developer Program.
Now that the project is complete, I have removed myself from their Apple Developer account and given them full control over the app. However, when I tried to enroll my personal Apple ID in the Developer Program, I was unable to do so. After contacting Apple Support, I was informed that my phone number is still recognized as the trusted device for my client’s Apple ID, preventing me from enrolling in the Developer Program under my own account.
Additional Issues:
When I checked my Apple ID subscription list on account.apple.com, I noticed that the Apple Developer Program Membership is still listed under my personal Apple ID. However, when my client logs into their Apple ID subscription list, the Apple Developer subscription does NOT appear under their account.
Even though the Apple Developer Program subscription is listed under my Apple ID, I cannot access the Apple Developer portal (developer.apple.com/account) to manage my account, enroll, or create apps.
However, my client CAN still access the Developer portal and create/manage apps, even though the subscription is NOT in their Apple ID subscription list.
Problems:
My phone number is still a trusted device for my client’s Apple ID, blocking me from enrolling my own Developer account.
The Developer Program subscription appears under my Apple ID instead of my client’s, even though my client is the one using the Developer account.
I cannot access Apple Developer features, while my client can—even though the subscription is technically under my Apple ID.
Questions:
How can I unlink my phone number and device from my client’s Apple ID so I can enroll in the Apple Developer Program?
Why does the Developer Program subscription appear under my Apple ID instead of my client’s, and how can I fix this?
Why can’t I access the Developer portal, even though the subscription is listed under my Apple ID?
Has anyone faced a similar issue, and if so, how was it resolved?
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I am now on Day 5 of waiting for our Apple Developer Program approval, and despite multiple attempts to get an update, I have received no meaningful response from Apple.
I have:
✅ Successfully paid membership fee and received invoice for same
✅ Reached out via support tickets, but got 0 replies.
This delay is unreasonable and impacting my work. I am prepared to launch a critical app that aligns with Apple’s ecosystem and guidelines, but Apple’s lack of communication is preventing me from moving forward. After lot of hard work and resources I have completed app development and set up other processes for marketing.
I demand a real update from an Apple Developer Program representative today.
• Not silence.
• A direct response with a timeline for approval.
Apple claims to support developers, but these excessive delays and lack of transparency tell a different story. If there is a legitimate issue, I expect clear communication. If there isn’t, we expect this approval to be completed immediately.
Apple, please address this case today. I cannot afford further inaction.
