Apple Developer Program expired – Renew option missing for over 20 days
Hello, My Apple Developer Program membership is marked as expired, but I am unable to renew it. The Renew option does not appear in the Apple Developer app or on the website. Both Free Apps Agreement and Paid Apps Agreement are expired. I am the Account Holder of the account. I have already submitted multiple support requests through the Apple Developer Support website under “Program Purchase and Renewal”, but I haven’t received any response so far. This issue has been ongoing for more than 20 days and is blocking access to my apps and agreements. Could an Apple Developer team member please look into this or advise how to proceed when the Renew option is missing? Thank you.

Early stages of enrollment
Hello @apple, I am trying to enroll to the developer program as an individual. However I am having issues. I am a Canadian who recently moved to Spain. My appleID region was set to Spain so the system didn’t let me verify my ID with my Canadian drivers license. The support advised me to change the region to Canada, which I did and it seems that my ID was accepted for verification. However now the “enroll now” is greyed out and I didn’t get any update. It says the account cannot enroll. I don’t know why and how to resolve this issue. I haven’t heard anything from support and it has been five days now. Any help would be much appreciated. thank you

3 months unable to complete Apple Developer Program enrollment
Hello, I am facing a serious issue with Apple Developer enrollment that has been ongoing for almost 3 months, and I am trying to understand whether this is normal and how others have actually resolved similar situations. Case ID: 102750929631 I started enrolling a Corporate Apple Developer (Organization) account for a UK-registered company (all details are valid: company registration, tax numbers, physical address). Almost all steps are completed, but I am completely blocked at the payment stage. At first, I received generic errors; later, all payment methods started being declined. I tried 5–6 different cards from different banks and different countries. PayPal is not available to me. I contacted Apple Developer Support, but the conversation turned into a closed loop. The responses are always the same: “try using the app”, without any real assistance. The process looked like this: At first, the required steps and features were not available in the app. Later, those steps appeared, but payment still did not go through. Then my documents started getting rejected. Now my documents are not accepted at all because I am not a UK resident, even though I am enrolling a corporate account for a UK company and providing the company’s details. I am constantly passed from one support agent to another, and each new agent suggests doing exactly the same as the previous one: “try the app again,” reset the process, and start over. There is absolutely no real progress. Support has now been silent for 12 days. The last response was on December 24, and since then there has been complete silence. At this point, it feels like I have gone through all possible loops without getting any closer to a solution. This situation is directly blocking the company’s operations at the moment. Has anyone experienced something similar with corporate enrollment, payment, and document verification? What actually helped — opening a new case, escalation, a different support channel, or specific wording? Can anyone influence support in such situations? Because this feels like total disregard and devaluation of the developer.

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Still “Pending” After Purchase
Hi Apple Developer Support / Community, I created a new Apple Developer test account on December 22 and then purchased the Apple Developer Program membership using that account. The payment appears to have gone through, but my enrollment status is still showing as “Pending”. Could someone clarify what typically causes an enrollment to remain pending and what I should check next? Is additional identity or organization verification required in some cases? Are there common issues that delay the review (account details, payment verification, missing agreements, etc.)? Is there a way to confirm whether Apple is waiting for any action from me? If this needs manual review, what is the best way to contact support and provide any required documents? Any guidance on the expected process and next steps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Developer Program Membership Still Pending After Successful Payment (Turkey Region)
Hello , I need some help regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I purchased the Developer Program on December 3rd, 2025 at 16:03 (Turkey time). The payment was successfully processed by my bank, and I also received the official Apple Store receipt email confirming the purchase. However, my Developer account still shows: • “Purchase your membership” • “Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.” • Enrollment status: Pending • App Store Connect still not accessible It has now been more than 5 days, and the enrollment has not been activated. Here are the details: • Region: Turkey • Payment amount: 1029 TRY (local pricing for the Developer Program) • Payment status: Completed / Posted (not pending) • Case ID with Apple Support: 102769533427 • I have already opened a support case, but there has been no resolution yet. I would appreciate any guidance from others who experienced similar issues. Is this a known delay for Turkey-based accounts, or does it usually require manual activation by Apple Support? Any suggestions or insights would be very helpful. Thank you!

Developer account has not been configured
Its been more than a week and my account is still in the same status as my developer account membership purchase is still pending This is frustrating for a developer to loose so many days spending so much of a premium just to get registered and even then facing this descrimination. For an Organisation of this scale, i think this will not look good. You take the time to scrutinise the developer but do not take his time, effort and their money. give a realistic timeline and not this far, which is not a good practice

setAlternateIconName Issue on iOS 26.1
When changing the app icon: On iOS versions below 26.1, we were able to use certain methods to suppress this confirmation popup ("You have changed the icon for 'Lanhai Bank'"). However, this suppression no longer works on iOS 26.1 and later. Is there any valid method to prevent this popup from appearing on iOS 26.1+? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! /用户/lanhaiyinhang/下载/微信bdf77ae6f15408892b6734696d6c2038.jpg

Integration page loading error
For some reason, when I want to view my API keys or create new ones in the integrations tab of users and access, when I click on integrations, I am quickly redirected to the home page of app store connect. I've tried a lot of times but the same issue keeps on happening. My role is Admin, so permissions shouldn't be an issue Does anyone know why this is occuring?

Payment charged but Apple Developer Program account still pending
Hello, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program and the annual fee was successfully charged from my card, however my membership status is still showing as Pending and has not been activated yet. This is my second message regarding this issue, and unfortunately there has been no progress or response so far. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support and Apple Store Support, and I also attempted to request a refund since the account is still pending and not activated, but I have not received any response at all. This is my first experience with the Apple Developer Program, and honestly it has been very disappointing, especially considering that the payment was taken successfully but the service has not been provided. I would appreciate clear guidance on: • Why the membership is still pending after the fee was charged • Whether the account will be activated or the payment refunded Thank you.

How do I get access to the Accessory Setup Kit?
Hi! I would like to experiment with the Accessory Setup Kit, but I am not sure how I can add the required entitlement to my Apple Developer account. I added the following to the plist file: NSAccessorySetupKitSupports WiFi NSAccessorySetupWiFiSSIDPrefix test_ test And the following to the entitlements file: com.apple.developer.accessory-setup-kit But I am unable to build as my provisioning profile doesn't include "com.apple.developer.accessory-setup-kit entitlement". On the developer portal, I navigated to “Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles” > “Identifiers” > “”, but I don't see it under "Capabilities" or "App services", nor under requests. How do I configure my profile so that I am able to make use of this kit?

My legal name is mistakenly showing
Hi, My name is incorrectly displayed in the Individual / Tax Forms section as MarkF Frelly, while my legal name is Mark Frelly (example name). It looks like an extra “F” was mistakenly added, possibly treated as a middle initial. My account name shows correctly as Mark Frelly, but the team name and tax name are uneditable, and I’m concerned this could cause issues with tax forms. I’m unable to find any option to correct this myself. Has anyone faced this before, or is contacting Apple Developer Support the only way to fix it?

Did I apply for Developer Program correctly?
Hi everyone - I really hope you can help. I recently tried to apply to the Developer Program. I did this by starting the process online in a browser, then following the Apple instructions to open the Developer App on my phone, identify myself and then go through the process of filling in the details for the type of application (Individual) and the type of apps I'm interested in creating then paying a subscription (all on the phone). I can see the subscription exists in my iCloud account now. I also have not only the initial "Your subscription is confirmed" email I also have the later "Your invoice from Apple" too. However if I go to the developer website it says at the top of the page "To continue your enrolment, complete your purchase now. Your purchase may take 48 hours to process". Did anyone else have this issue? Is it all ok and I just have to wait and wait for the application to be approved? Is there something I need to do? I'm worried that if I follow the instructions in my Developer account online I will pay twice. I really need to get this sorted asap. When I try to use the full developer profile in xCode in "signing" I get "Cannot create a iOS App Development provisioning profile for "com.********.[appname]". Personal development teams, including "[my personal developer account name]", do not support the iCloud capability. Thanks so much in advance for help from anyone in the forum!

Why Hasn't Apple Accepted My Developer Application???
Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here can help or share insight. I submitted my enrollment for the Apple Developer Program a little over a week ago. After submitting my documents, I was told by Apple that I should receive a response within two business days, but I haven’t received any update, approval, or follow-up yet. I’ve double-checked that all required documents were successfully submitted Everything appears to be in order, but the status hasn’t changed and I haven’t been contacted. This is becoming urgent, as my app is ready for submission and I’m blocked from moving forward until the developer account is approved. I want to make sure I didn’t miss a step or that there isn’t something additional Apple needs from me. Is there a recommended way to escalate or follow up? Should I expect additional verification beyond the initial submission? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
