Apple not responding about upgrading to Organization account
Hi all, I obtained a D-U-N-S number, confirmed that it's available for lookup, and submitted a request to upgrade to an Organization account 12 days ago. I then followed up 3 days ago. Still haven't received a response. Does anyone know if there's anything I need to do to get a response to these inquiries? Only reason I'm upgrading to Organization account is so that multiple developers can sign debug builds for physical iPhone devices so they can collaborate on my project.

Membership enrollment issues
I have purchased the membership a few times now on the same account. Still have not recieved refunds either for the purchases. However I only receive an email confirming my purchase saying "your order is being processed" and no other emails. Underneath the email I receive there is a link to accessing my account, which I press and it takes me to the app developer website where it just says my account is pending and to finish my enrollment. Furthermore I press this "finish my enrollment" button and taken straight back to a payment portal to pay for the subscription again. I did end up doing this a couple of times thinking maybe it didn't charge me the first time, however after checking my back...it did charge me each time. Can anyone help please, there is no call support for Apple developers and they won't respond to my emails.

Notice of Termination
Would anyone help why my account got terminated. I checked my app & it had simple text pricing typo should not be grounds for account termination. Even i made a typo in iap price the price of product on apple server was correct & when user try to buy item the correct price is loaded from apple sever. If this was the reason for the decision, I would like the opportunity to correct the issue rather than face such a severe penalty. "This letter serves as notice of termination of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (the “ADP Agreement”) and the Apple Developer Agreement (the “Developer Agreement”) between you and Apple effective immediately. Pursuant to Section 3.2(f) of the ADP Agreement, you agreed that you would not “commit any act intended to interfere with any of the Apple Software or Services, the intent of this Agreement, or Apple’s business practices including, but not limited to, taking actions that may hinder the performance or intended use of the App Store, Custom App Distribution, TestFlight, Xcode Cloud, Ad Hoc distribution, or the Program …” Apple has good reason to believe that you violated this Section due to documented indications of fraudulent conduct associated with your account. Apple is exercising its right to terminate your status as an Apple developer pursuant to the Apple Developer Agreement and is terminating you under the ADP Agreement for dishonest and fraudulent acts relating to that agreement. We would like to remind you of your obligations with regard to all software and other confidential information that you obtained from Apple as an Apple developer and under the ADP Agreement. You must promptly cease all use of and destroy such materials and comply with all the other termination obligations set forth in Section 11.3 of the ADP Agreement and Section 10 of the Apple Developer Agreement. If applicable, no further payments will be made to you pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Paid Applications agreement (Schedules 2 and 3 to the ADP Agreement). This letter is not intended to be a complete statement of the facts regarding this matter, and nothing in this letter should be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies Apple may have, all of which are hereby reserved. Finally, please note that we will deny your reapplication to the Apple Developer Program for at least a year considering the nature of your acts.

Apple Developer Account Closed Shortly After Enrollment
Hi everyone, I created a new Apple account for a university project and enrolled in the Apple Developer Program with this new account. I paid for the enrollment using my personal account's payment method. However, a few hours later, Apple closed the newly created account. When I contacted Apple Support, they informed me that they won't reopen the account and also don't refund the enrollment fee. So now I'm stuck with a paid and unsued Developer Program enrollment for an account I can no longer access. Is there any way to transfer the Developer Program enrollment to another Apple Account (either a new one or my personal account)? Has anyone faced a similar situation and found a solution? This is especially frustrating as the enrollment was for educational purposes, and I'm now out the enrollment fee with nothing to show for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Oliver

HELP!! Newbie - Apple Connect API
Good day everyone. I am brand new to developing IOS applications and I am attempting to use Visual Studio .Net Maui with.net Core 8 to connect up my local device and debug my application. This is successful, however I am attempting to find a working example of using the google auth oAuth 2.0 API to validate a google user and return back to the application. I don't think this is that difficult however it appears that the callback is not being set up correctly in Google Auth API. Has anyone successfully done this with .net Maui and C# in Visual Studio 2022?

Confusing situation with the status of my Developer Program Enrollment
I've registered a developer account and paid for the Developer Program on Feb 12. On Feb 20 I received a payment confirmation. Here's how my "order" looks like right now. This is a bit confusing because there's nothing to "ship", that's a subscription. But OK, maybe that's a unified UI for all purchases. As you can see my order was not yet fulfilled. I've checked the status of my developer account. It shows "Pending". Here's the screenshot. What's even more weird, is that I still see the purchase banner as if I never paid for the program. I've opened a support ticket on Feb 19 but did not receive any messages afterwards. It's as if I've paid for the service and then got completely ignored on actually receiving the service. Does anybody know what's happening with my account? Did you encounter anything like this? Thanks in advance for any help!

Apple Pay bricht mit einem "AbortError" ab, wenn sich der Dialog für den Fingeprint-Sensor öffnet.
Wie finde ich die Ursache für den "AbortError" von Apple heraus, der nur in der Produktivumgebung auftritt. In der Testumgebung funktionert Apple Pay fehlerfrei. Es geht um eine Webintegration von Apple Pay mit dem apple pay SDK eine Version vor 1.2.0. Der Fehler tritt auf, wenn ich vom PaymentRequest object die Methode show() aufrufe. Es öffnet sich der Apple Pay Dilaog mit dem Fingerprint-Icon, doch nach einer Sekunde kommt direkt ein Ausrufzeichen und der Apple Dialog schließt sich wieder. Ich weiß, dass unsere Integration zu Apple Pay in der Produktivumgebung bei mehreren Kunden funktionerte. Das aktuelle Problem ist, dass die Fehlermeldung von Apple namens "AbortError" keinen Hinweis auf die Ursache liefert. Das ist startk verbesserungswürdig. Ein Betroffener Kunde ist z.B. der Kunde mit der Merchant ID ...(ist es sicher in diesem Forum eine merchantID zu posten?) Hier kann ich das Problem "AbortError" mit meine iPhone 16.7.8 jederzeit reproduzieren. Wo finde ich Support für Apple Pay?

Urgent: Developer Account Locked After Payment – No Access or Refund
Hello, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and paid the $99 fee. Before I could even submit my app or access any services, my Apple ID was locked without warning or explanation. I received no specific communication, and I am now unable to log in, request support, or access the developer tools I paid for. Apple has effectively taken payment without providing the service. I am a legitimate developer and would appreciate a review of my case, a refund, or a clear explanation of what went wrong.

My Apple account got "locked" and access "denied" - and I have production apps on there
Yesterday I went to log into my Apple account for business, which is connected to my developer profile and my live production apps on the App Store right now. It said I had the wrong password - which was weird, because I definitely didn't. I went to Forget Password, and it said my account was locked and I had to request access to it. I did, and I just got an email from Apple that my request was "denied." I have no idea what's going on. I didn't do anything unusual recently, and my apps haven't even been updated in about a week. I desperately need to get access to my apps again. Does anyone know what I should do here? I'm really quite panicked as again my whole business is on that account.

App Review Rejection - Help with sequencing?
Hi All, Hoping someone can shed light on the correct way to proceed for App Review using an app built with Unity's IAP Service. I'm unsure if I have a problem with my build or there is a problem with my sequencing of the review process. Unity’s IAP won’t recognize a product until it exists on App Store Connect (which you would expect), however App Store Connect won’t publish products until they are reviewed with a submitted binary. I submitted a binary with my first product for review and the app was rejected for “completeness” because the product was unavailable. I requested clarification and the review team sent a screenshot back showing the store page in the game with the IAP UI in the state I would expect for no products returned (the buttons say “unavailable” and are disabled) - which makes sense, because the IAP is not approved and therefore not available. The review team sent the following: "When validating receipts on your server, your server needs to be able to handle a production-signed app getting its receipts from Apple’s test environment. The recommended approach is for your production server to always validate receipts against the production App Store first. If validation fails with the error code “Sandbox receipt used in production,” you should validate against the test environment instead." It seems we are not event to the point of receipt validation because the rejection is due to products not being approved and therefore not returned when the app queries them. So the app can't be approved unless it can be tested before the product exist in App Store Connect, but Unity's IAP won’t recognize the product until it exists in App Score Connect? Since I had submitted once I was able to resubmit just the IAP, but that was rejected for completeness because it didn't include a binary - which was rejected because the IAP was not present - and the IAP was not present because it was not approved. The IAP is a very simple "100 Gems" in game currency pack so I don't believe it is being rejected on its own merits, but I suppose I could be mistaken there. I can’t be the only one with this problem, or I must be missing something… or there is something else wrong with my build. Suggestions much appreciated!

Join WWDC in Apple Park
Thank you very much for choosing me to go to Apple Park to participate in WWDC. I am looking forward to participating in this event. May I ask you some questions? I am a young Apple Developer Program from China. And I am the winner of the Swift Student Challenge in 2024. I am over 13 years old. I used my own Developer account, not my parents', to apply for WWDC activities and all the events I carry out. Since I am under 18 years old, my parents may need to sign the Special Event Parental Permission Statement. Where can I find it? My parents will sign it. At the same time, I noticed that the bottom of the RSVP form requires me to guarantee that I am at least 18 years old, but I am not. And I used my own account to apply for WWDC, so I want to know how to meet this need? I need a non-immigrant visa to go to the United States. So, I need to prove to the visa officer that I have received an invitation from Apple. Could Apple send me a formal invitation letter to prove that I have received an invitation from Apple? At the same time, as a teenager, I need to go to the United States with my mother, so can you mention the information of my guardian (my mother) in the invitation letter? Ps: I am very independent. I am well aware that the number of people in WWDC is limited. My mother will not enter the venue unless otherwise required.

Over 1 Month Delay in U.S. Corporate Account Registration
Hi Apple Developer Community, Since March 2nd, we’ve been trying to register a corporate account for our U.S. company. However, we stopped receiving any updates after March 18th. The last message we received was: "We have received your documents and we'll contact you when an update is available." We’ve followed up several times since then, explaining that we have an app launch and a marketing campaign scheduled for early April, but we still haven’t heard back. Here are our ticket numbers: 102547989016 and 102558098664. Has anyone else experienced something similar, or does anyone know how we can get some help? We’ve provided all the requested information and are really worried about the delay. Thanks in advance!
