I filled in everything, but when I try to complete the purchase, it shows an error saying “Unknown Error.” What could be the issue? Can you please guide me?

Hi everyone, I recently paid for my Apple Developer Program membership, but my account status has been stuck on “Pending” ever since. It has now been 5+ more days and I still haven’t received any confirmation email or follow-up message from Apple. I’ve checked my inbox, spam folder, and verified that the payment went through successfully. Everything seems correct on my end, but the activation hasn’t progressed. Has anyone experienced this delay before, or is there something else I should do while waiting? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

When I try to renew my Apple Developer Programme Membership, it just spins out on a page titled "Sign In for Faster Checkout". When I check the javascript console, I can see a 541 error trying to POST some data to /uk/shop/signIn/idms/authx and an error trying to parse the response as JSON when the response is actually a "File Not Found" HTML page. Anyone else getting this? I've got a couple of weeks before my certificates start expiring.

Hello! I have requested multiple issues on https://developer.apple.com/contact/ (it has been over two weeks now requesting an update with a valid DUNS number), yet they have not even emailed me anything. I am trying to convert my developer account from individual to team, so my other team members can render the app on Xcode even when Appled ID login is in place in the app (currently, they can't compile the app with the "individual" developer account). I would just like to have my account be updated from individual to organization. I have also tried many times on https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/migrate-individual-account/

Hello, I recently purchased an Apple Developer account. The payment was successfully processed, the charge has appeared on my credit card, and I have received the invoice via email. However, it has been 3 days, and my Developer account is still not activated. The status remains “Pending” in my Apple Developer dashboard. There are no alerts or requests for additional documentation on my account. I’ve tried signing out and back in, checking from different devices and browsers, but nothing has changed. Is this delay normal? Is there anything I should do to speed up the activation process? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Body: I am writing to report an ongoing issue with the Apple Developer Program enrollment process specifically affecting developers in India, along with significant concerns about Apple's support responsiveness in this region. Issue Summary: I have been attempting to enroll in the paid Apple Developer Program ($99/year) using the Apple Developer app on my iPhone for the past 4 days. Every enrollment attempt results in the following errors: "Unknown Error - Please try again" "Invalid Request - Service mapping to the requested URL is not available" My Setup (All Verified Correct): Apple ID Region: India Trusted Phone Number: +91 (India country code, matching my Apple ID region) Two-Factor Authentication: Enabled (genuine 2FA, not two-step verification) 2FA Devices: iPhone, MacBook Pro devices, and trusted phone number all verified Account Information: Legal name, address, date of birth, and email all updated and verified on account.apple.com Device: iPhone 17 Pro running latest iOS Troubleshooting Attempted: I have completed every troubleshooting step suggested by the community and by Apple Support myself: ✅ Verified genuine Two-Factor Authentication is enabled ✅ Confirmed Apple ID region matches trusted phone number region (+91) ✅ Updated all personal information (legal name, address, email) on account.apple.com ✅ Force restarted iPhone multiple times ✅ Uninstalled and reinstalled Apple Developer app ✅ Signed out and signed back in with correct Apple ID ✅ Tested on both WiFi and cellular data ✅ Waited 48+ hours between attempts None of these steps resolved the issue. Support Response Issues: This is where my frustration peaks. I have attempted to contact Apple Support multiple ways: Phone Support: Shows "Phone support is currently unavailable" (though it was available last week) Email Support: Submitted via developer.apple.com/support → No response for 4 days Previous Contact: Had contacted support last week, but the troubleshooting steps provided did not resolve the issue Current Status: No follow-up communication or resolution path from Apple Known Issue in India - Why This Matters: I have researched this extensively and found multiple threads in this forum (dating back months) with developers in India reporting identical errors during enrollment. To date, I have not found a single resolved thread with a working solution. This indicates: This is a documented, recurring issue affecting Indian developers specifically Apple appears to have backend infrastructure issues specific to India Support has not provided a resolution path despite multiple reports The Real Problem: Apple's Developer Program enrollment system appears to have specific bugs or limitations that prevent developers in India from successfully enrolling, yet: Support responsiveness is severely lacking There is no documented workaround or known resolution The support team seems unaware of or unprepared to handle this region-specific issue My Request: Acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue affecting India-based developers A concrete resolution path (whether manual backend enablement, account review, or system fix) Expected timeline for resolution: Improved support responsiveness - Developers deserve answers, not silence Additional Context: I am ready to provide screen recordings of the exact error I have all the necessary documentation (identity verification, address proof, etc.) I am willing to complete any additional verification steps I simply need clear communication and a path forward I have been developing for iOS and want to contribute to the Apple ecosystem. However, this enrollment barrier is preventing me from doing so. Apple's support infrastructure for India needs improvement, and this issue needs attention. If any Apple team member is monitoring this forum, please escalate this issue. Indian developers deserve better support and communication.

This app was developed with NFC functionality enabled, and distribution was intended to utilize the iOS app by replacing the provisioning profile and certificate issued under a separate Apple Developer account. However, since NFC cannot be enabled under the separate Apple Developer account, it is now required that the iOS app can be used with the standalone ipa file. If we create our own provisioning profile and certificate to enable standalone operation of the ipa file, we need to confirm where this might conflict with Apple's licenses or policies.

I'm trying to enroll in Apple Developer and I continuously getting a "Payment Declined" message despite trying 4 credit cards, a debit card and even my apple card. When I try this through the developer app the "Enroll Now" button is greyed out. It's not a bank issue I've already checked and they don't see any requests coming through. I’ve tried multiple times with no luck. Contacted Apple support and they are extremely slow with the responses with very little help. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this?

Hello Team I tried to enroll using the Apple Developer app on both my Mac and my iPhone and I keep getting the "Unknown error" please try again popup. I'm on the latest macOS and iOS version, have everything in line to the requirements, but nothing seems to be working. Can someone guide me if there's something I've not done right?

When I try to get a developer account, I keep getting the error "Payment approval failed". Can someone please help?

Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding my Apple Developer account, which is still pending approval. It has been several days since I completed the registration process and submitted all the required information, but I have not received any confirmation or update yet. I understand that the review process can take some time, but as I urgently need access to my developer account for an ongoing project, I would greatly appreciate it if you could look into this matter and provide an update on the current status of my application Please let me know if any additional information or verification is required from my side to expedite the process. Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your prompt response

I signed up for a new dev account, it's been 8 days and the account is still under review. I can't even send an email to Apple because it keeps saying "Your email can't be used" which does not make sense. I promised my clients that the app would be live by the beginning of this week, here we are at friday now and even if my account get's activated today, there's no telling how long the actual app review will take. Does it really take this much time to publish an app with Apple??? I signed up on Google Play at the same time. In only 3 days my App was reviewed and ready to publish on Playstore... Now the wait is on Apple. This is just one reason why my personal devices are Samsung.

Hi, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for my current company. Everything seemed fine, but since yesterday, I keep encountering an 'Unknown Error' when I try to complete the enrollment. I've checked my internet connection, updated my device, and tried multiple browsers, but the issue persists. Has anyone experienced this before or have suggestions on how to resolve it?

I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and received an email saying my order is being processed and will be ready within 2 business days. It's been about 5 days, and I haven’t gotten a response from them yet.

I paid for the developer account subscription on November 9, and as of now, the status is still pending. I’ve already contacted the support center for help more than three days ago, but I haven’t received any reply or even an acknowledgment email. How do they even operate? The delay is completely unreasonable. Has anyone else experienced the same thing?

Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on Tuesday afternoon, November 11th, 2025. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership”. It’s now been several days, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information. I already contacted Apple Support by email, but I’d like to know if other developers have experienced the same situation and how long it took before their account was activated. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback! — Ramesh

Hi, I completed my Apple Developer registration on November 9, 2025, and paid the fee. Afterwards, there was option to pay fee again and i thought first payment is not working I was charged another €99 from other visa card, so I basically paid twice. But nothing has changed on my account so far — it show as “pending”. I also can’t reach Apple Support, Has anyone else experienced something like this or knows what I can do?

Hi, I paid for the developer program membership more than 2 days ago. Nothing is happening, though. I wrote to support twice, but nothing as well. What's going on? I read few posts here and it seems like a normal thing.

So i just started developing ios apps where i recently purchased macbook, i tried to create developer account got saying i cannot create the acount as of now.

I am working with the AVcam sample code example to interface external thermal camera with a USB C connector on iPad. the camera frame consists of a resolution of 1280x740 with the first 1280x720 bytes being for RGB and 160x121 bytes for the thermal data. The camera outputs in YUYV2 format. The thermal data is embedded in this frame as it is a 16 bit value. I found out that YUYV2 is not a supported video format on iOS. is there any way I can get the raw thermal data without any modification ?
