Duplicate Payment and Enrollment Not Activated
Hello, I am currently trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, and I seem to have encountered an issue. I completed the enrollment process and made the payment of $99. I received a payment confirmation, but my enrollment has not been activated after 46 hours. When I checked the status, it still indicated that payment was required, so I mistakenly made a second payment. I have now received confirmation for both payments. Here are my order details: First order ID: D009543166 Second order ID: D009549194 Could you please: Confirm the status of my enrollment Help activate my Apple Developer account Advise on the duplicate payment and process a refund if applicable Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Kobe Shust

When will my developer account be activated?
I have already paid the 99 USD for the enrollment, that was 8 days ago, I don't understand what is happening on the page it says that everything is managed in 48 hours... is there a problem? Additionally, I have generated a claim in Apple Support with caseID 102850171298 4 days ago, and it was not responded to in any way. I'm a little angry, it's not a cheap service and I have to work.

Apple Developer Program contract already accepted
I had already accepted my Apple Developer Program License Agreement since the 20th of march 2026. But your banner stay in my business portal and say : "Le contrat de licence de l’Apple Developer Program a été mis à jour et doit être revu. Afin de pouvoir mettre à jour vos apps existantes et en soumettre de nouvelles, la personne titulaire du compte doit revoir et accepter le contrat mis à jour en se connectant à son compte." Please see if you don't have a bug and let me update my apps.

Should I enroll in Apple Developer Program with Apple ID set to U.S. if I need Germany for tax purposes?
Hello everyone, I am looking for advice from anyone who has experience with Apple Developer account setup across countries. My Apple account is currently associated with the United States, but I live in Germany and would like my Apple Developer setup to be associated with Germany for tax and administrative reasons. At the moment, I have not enrolled yet in the Apple Developer Program, because I am hesitant to proceed while the account is still tied to the U.S. I want to avoid creating complications later around tax information, billing or account maintenance. My app is essentially ready, so I am trying to make the right decision before enrolling. I would really appreciate guidance on a few points: Has anyone enrolled first and then later changed the country association successfully? Is it better to update the Apple account to Germany before joining the Developer Program? For developers based in Germany, did Apple require anything specific for tax or identity verification? Would enrolling with the account still associated with the U.S. create problems later for App Store Connect, payments or tax forms? I contacted Apple Support on March 21st to clarify this, but I have not yet received a response, so I thought I would ask here in case others have gone through the same process. Any advice or shared experience would be very helpful. Thank you!

Payment completed but Apple Developer Program still not activated
Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on March 22, 2026 and the payment has already been successfully charged. I also received an invoice the next day (March 23, 2026). However, my account is still not activated, and the system continues to prompt me to complete the enrollment or make the payment again. Is this a normal delay in activation? How long does it usually take for the account to be activated after payment? Do I need to take any additional steps, or should I contact support directly? Thank you for your assistance.

Unable to Complete Apple Developer Registration – No Clear Reason Provided
Subject: Unable to Complete Apple Developer Registration – No Clear Reason Provided Hello, I am currently trying to register for an Apple Developer account, but I keep receiving the following response: "We are unable to process your enrollment for one or more reasons." I contacted support to ask for the specific reason, but the reply I received was exactly the same message: "We are unable to process your enrollment for one or more reasons." According to the emails and support responses, I am unable to get any clear explanation or solution. The app directs me to contact customer service, but customer service only repeats the same message, which makes it impossible to resolve the issue. At this point, I personally cannot think of any possible reason that would cause this problem. Even after reaching out multiple times, including to senior support staff, I still receive the same generic response without any details. This situation feels completely blocked with no way forward. I would like to ask: Is there any way to find out the specific reason for the rejection? Are there any steps I can take to resolve this issue and successfully complete the registration? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Still Pending (Paid on March 20)
Hi everyone, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and completed my payment on Friday, March 20, 2026. However, my account is still showing as pending and hasn't been approved or activated yet. I'm really eager to get my personal finance app, set up for testing, so I wanted to ask if this processing time is normal, or if there is any additional information or document I need to provide to complete the process. Could anyone from the Apple team assist in checking the status of my enrollment? Thank you in advance for your help

Cannot receive 2FA code after registered email was deleted – locked out of Developer account
My Apple Developer account was registered with a company Gmail address that has since been permanently deleted. Now when I try to log in, I reach the 2FA step but the verification code is no longer sent to my registered phone number. I am completely locked out. Has anyone experienced this or knows how to contact Apple to recover access?

Week 7 of Pending Enrollment
I will keep posting this every week because I simply cannot wait anymore. 7 weeks of waiting is way too much. To me, it is absolute madness in 2026 to wait for months, especially when my passport/ID was successfully verified back in week 1 or 2. To make matters worse, I can't even call the support hotline because the phone option is unavailable and the email assistants only reply with the same automated templates. P.S. If by some miracle Apple Support reads this post or rather, this cry from the soul - and actually wants to help, I have already created two support tickets. Here are the case numbers: 20000109972460 20000109363371

URGENT: No Account Holder Access – Cannot Accept Agreement – Production Blocked
We are facing a critical issue with our Apple Developer account that is currently blocking app releases. Context: Organization account (Apple Developer Program) Account Holder: Ben Kunkel Apple Business Manager integrated with Okta (SCIM) Issue: The original Account Holder was deleted from Apple Business Manager and re-created via SCIM The recreated account now shows as “Staff” (Source: Custom Sync) and cannot be modified In Apple Developer, Ben is still listed as Account Holder but does not see any options to accept agreements or manage the account A transfer request was initiated to me before he left the company, but I am unable to complete identity verification (“Invalid Submission” error) Result: No active Account Holder can take action Unable to accept the updated Apple Developer Program License Agreement App submissions and updates are blocked (production impact) This appears to be a cross-system identity mismatch between Apple Business Manager and Apple Developer due to SCIM provisioning. Has anyone faced a similar issue? Any guidance on resolving this or getting it escalated internally would be greatly appreciated. We already have open cases with Apple Support, but progress has been slow. Thanks in advance.

Developer Appstore Enrollment in Review - FL44QTK67R., Case Id - 102847803343
My developer enrollment(L297KTAW5F) was initiated on 10March and when the Enrollment in review was completed and when i did the payment in tab, the payment didn't go anywhere and it was totally stuck. Though the payment gone from my account, the enrollment was stuck and later in 3 days, the payment was reverted to my account. So no issues on the payment side. Now again when i opened Developer app, i was asked to do the enrollment again(FL44QTK67R). Now the enrollment is stuck in review and I opened a case id - 102847803343, and I got a email a day later asking to upload few documents which I did immediately. Since then I had been following up on email to update about the enrollment and no response yet. When playstore could do it in 2 days time, a company like apple giving a tough time with no options for a resolution is terrible.

7 Weeks of "Innovation": Waiting for a simple enrollment
Today marks 7 weeks of waiting for my enrollment confirmation. Imagine being one of the world's largest companies, yet people who want to cooperate with you have to wait 7 weeks or more just to get developer status. I am speechless… how much longer can this continue? This is not meant as criticism, but simply a cry from my soul as a developer who just wants to start working

Apple Developer Program Enrollment – Approval Time
I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program about 7 days ago, but my account is still showing as “Pending,” and I haven’t received any updates yet. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support via email, but I haven’t heard back so far. I wanted to check if this waiting period is typical, or if I should take any additional steps to complete the enrollment process. Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently? Any guidance on the usual approval timeline would be appreciated.
