Hi There,
I´m From Spain with an LLC Company in the USA.
Is a Disregarded company, the problem is that when I try to set up the paid apps agreement, Apple display the form W-9 instead of Form W8-BEN (that is for non-us resident)
My question is... is this right?
Under the name of my company, appear an option that ask me ...
"Who is the Beneficial Owner? "
You can choose between : Individual, Limited Liability - Disregarded Entity, Limited Liability - Partnership, Other...
I choose Limited Liability - Disregarded Entity
I m not sure if the form W-9 is the right for me because my other online business is about selling books on amazon and there the form that I m using is W8-BEN

I can't create a developer account. Every time I try to enroll they tell me: you cant enroll at this time.
Hi there,
How long does it take to make a switch from Apple individual to organization membership? I initiated the process a 2 weeks ago, and I am get to receive another notification from Apple. Keeps showing We’re processing your membership migration from an individual to an organization. And I am unable to submit an application that requires Organization account.

How long does the new Apple Developer Program License Agreement take to take effect once you accept it?

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program more than 48 hours ago around 4 days ago. The payment was successfully charged to my card, and I received a subscription confirmation email.
However, my developer account is still not activated, and I’m unable to access the full developer features.
Has anyone experienced a similar delay? Is there anything specific I should do, or does activation take longer than expected , i tried to contact support twice throw mail but i got no response !
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve contacted support two or three times already and no response. I made the payment to create my Apple Developer account on the 26th and also received the invoice that same day, but the status still shows as pending. This is quite urgent, so I’m not sure what you can do on your side to help.

Problem
I’m trying to implement Sign in with Apple in my application. However, when my app redirects to the Apple authorization page at:
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize
I get an invalid_client error with no further explanation.
Settings
I followed this article closely:
[https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/06/04/what-the-heck-is-sign-in-with-apple#generate-the-client-secret]
Steps I have completed:
Created an App ID and a Service ID on Apple Developer Portal.
Enabled “Sign in with Apple” for both the App ID and the Service ID.
Added my domain and callback URL to the Service ID configuration. (I'm using ngrok to proxy my localhost during development.)
Linked an existing private key with “Sign in with Apple” capability.
My identifiers:
Service ID is used as client_id
Team ID is taken from the top right of the Apple Developer dashboard
Key ID is from the private key associated with the App
Environment
My backend is built with Laravel, and I'm using the [SocialiteProvider/Apple][https://socialiteproviders.com/Apple/#installation-basic-usage] library to handle the OAuth flow.
I followed the recommended method to generate a client secret (JWT) for each request, using this blog post:
[https://bannister.me/blog/generating-a-client-secret-for-sign-in-with-apple-on-each-request]
My .env configuration looks like this:
APPLE_CLIENT_ID=com.service.paxton.stockApp
APPLE_TEAM_ID=25729642DK
APPLE_KEY_ID=JFP9Q53ZCY
APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY=storage/AppleDev-AuthKey_JFP9Q53ZCY.p8
JWT Generation
I also tested generating the JWT using the Ruby script from the Okta article:
[https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/06/04/what-the-heck-is-sign-in-with-apple#generate-the-client-secret]
Here is the script I used:
require 'jwt'
key_file = './storage/AppleDev-AuthKey_JFP9Q53ZCY.p8'
team_id = '25729642DK'
client_id = 'com.service.paxton.stockObserve'
key_id = 'JFP9Q53ZCY'
ecdsa_key = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.new IO.read key_file
headers = {
'kid' => key_id
}
claims = {
'iss' => team_id,
'iat' => Time.now.to_i,
'exp' => Time.now.to_i + 86400*180,
'aud' => 'https://appleid.apple.com',
'sub' => client_id,
}
token = JWT.encode claims, ecdsa_key, 'ES256', headers
puts token
This JWT validates correctly. I’ve also used Apple’s public key to verify the signature, and it passed.
I verified the JWT header and payload format using this helpful article:
[https://fluffy.es/how-to-solve-invalid_client-error-in-sign-in-with-apple/]
Third-Party Testing
To eliminate mistakes in my setup, I even tried a third-party tool featured in this YouTube video:
[https://youtu.be/8v01TaX1EJA?si=0jOBGBVk0R0zbmdo]
Unfortunately, the result was the same — invalid_client.
Question
I’ve double-checked everything I can think of: keys, claims, domain whitelist, identifiers. I even verified the JWT independently.
If anyone (especially someone from Apple) can help identify the missing piece, I would be truly grateful.
Our developer account was granted the com.apple.developer.mail-client by Apple ages ago, which we use for one of our apps.
At the time, this entitlement was granted through a special "entitlements" drop-down on the profile creation page. In fact, the entitlement is still available to us in this manner:
Unfortunately, applying the entitlement directly to the profile no longer works through the App Store Connect API. Which is a bummer because we periodically use the API to update our development and ad hoc profiles with new UDIDs.
I was eventually able to get Apple to migrate the entitlement to a capability that we can instead apply to the app IDs in our account. Great!
However, for some reason the "Default Mail App" capability (on the "Edit your App ID Configuration" screen) shows does NOT apply to Ad hoc profiles:
Note that "Ad hoc" is missing.
This means we still need to update the Ad hoc profile for the app in question manually through the Apple developer portal.
This has to be a bug. It makes no sense that this specific capability doesn't apply to Ad hoc profiles. Other capabilities don't have this issue. e.g.:
Another strange thing is that on the profile page for the ad hoc profile under "Enabled Capabilities" it shows "Default Mail App" (see screenshot above) but the capability/entitlement is missing from the downloaded profile unless I add it via the drop down menu on the profile page.
How do I get Apple to fix this? Multiple support tickets submitted via our developer account have gone unanswered. (It took months just to get the entitlement partially migrated in the first place.)
Certain entitlements require special permission from Apple like DriverKit or Screentime API/Family controls.
Those entitlements are tied to the bundle IDs of the app.
If those entitlements have been granted for an app from developer A (personal account) and we transfer that app to developer B (organization account), including the bundle IDs, will those bundle IDs keep the entitlement?
Or will we need to re-request from the developer account B?
Any insights or experiences regarding this process would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to create an app that authenticates to Apple Music using MusicKit but whenever I try to build my profile through eas, I am getting this error:
Provisioning profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.music-kit entitlement.
However, my provisioning profile does have MusicKit enabled.
Hi all,
I’m an Admin user in an Apple Developer Program (Organization) team, but I’m unable to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles (CIP) on developer.apple.com. I’d like to understand what permission is missing and where it should be enabled.
Context
Program type: Apple Developer Program (Organization)
My role in App Store Connect: Admin
I can access App Store Connect normally, but CIP resources on developer.apple.com are blocked.
The Account Holder can access CIP normally.
What I see (Problem)
In the Apple Developer portal → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get:
“Access Unavailable — You currently don't have access to this membership resource. Contact your team's Account Holder or an Admin.”
In Xcode → Settings → Accounts → Team, the “Certificates, Identifiers, & Profiles” section shows a red error indicator and doesn’t load.
Only my account is affected; the Account Holder is not.
What we’ve tried / confirmed
Membership is active (renewal date is valid)
Signed out/in of Xcode and re-added my Apple ID
Confirmed selecting the correct Organization team in Xcode / Developer portal
Account Holder confirmed they can access CIP
Questions
For an Organization team, what exact permission(s) are required for a member to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles?
Where is this access controlled — App Store Connect → Users and Access vs developer.apple.com → People?
If Admin in App Store Connect is not sufficient, what additional role/setting is needed to grant CIP access?

We registered as a developer company (NGO) more than 50 days ago and it's still under review. We've already sent the documents, we've confirmed by phone, and every time we contact them we receive no information. They just tell us it's under review and there's no deadline for when this review will be completed. On the same day we registered with Apple, we registered with Google and our app has been published on Google for more than 30 days. We have no support or answers. Could someone help us to at least know a deadline for this review?
Long Story Short: I got started, and bought the apple developer account for ~ $99, and It just said me the payment was successful, and:
How many days more should I be waiting ?
Also one more question, would I be able to test my apps over my iphone after having an active Apple Developer Account ?
Any help is much appreciated.
I originally created my Apple Developer account when I was living in Canada (years ago). Now that I live in the U.S. I want to renew it, but I can't - because it thinks I'm still in Canada. When I go to change my contact information, I get a screen that says:
"Unauthorized
Your account can’t access this page.
There may be certain requirements to view this content.
If you’re a member of a developer program, make sure your Account Holder has agreed the latest license agreement."
What do I do?
