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).

Unable to test in-app purchase integration
We are trying to implement / test in-app purchase for our subscription purchase in the app. We have done all the steps listed in the documentation on apple's website; and Our subscription plan is sitting in 'Ready to Submit' state. However, we are getting an empty response from, final response = await _iap.queryProductDetails({'com.company.xyz.basic1m'}); debugPrint(" Check: ${response.toString()}"); debugPrint("❌ Responses: ${response.productDetails.map((ProductDetailsResponse)=>ProductDetailsResponse.toString()).toList()}"); debugPrint("❌ Responses: ${response.productDetails.length}"); if (response.notFoundIDs.isNotEmpty) { debugPrint("❌ Not found: ${response.notFoundIDs}"); } else if (response.productDetails.isNotEmpty) { debugPrint("✅ Product loaded: ${response.productDetails.first.title}"); } The response we get is, flutter: Check: Instance of 'ProductDetailsResponse' flutter: ❌ Responses: [] flutter: ❌ Responses: 0 flutter: ❌ Not found: [com.company.xyz.basic1m] Note: We are testing with a real device iphone 13 mini via Xcode. We tried to test using, ''com.apple.test.Subscription1.monthly'', as instructed but we have not been successful with that. And seems like (based on online search), it doesn't work all the time. We also searched online for a solution, and some of the forums suggest that we have to submit the app for review when adding subscription for the first time. It doesn't mention the same that in the apple documentation. It confusing. Help and guidance in this regard would be really appreciated.

Urgent: Unable to Complete Apple Developer Program Enrollment – No Response from Support
Hello Community, A few years ago, I attempted to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but the process was blocked with the following error message: "Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." As a developer, I regularly help businesses and individuals set up their Apple developer accounts, and I’ve never encountered this issue with any of my clients—only on my own personal account. I’ve since discovered that others have faced this problem too, but none seem to have found a working solution. I’ve sent multiple emails to Apple Support and I have yet to receive a single response. This matter is extremely urgent for me. If anyone has experienced this issue and successfully resolved it, please share your solution. I’d greatly appreciate any insight. Thank you.

Org Developer Account Stuck in "Your enrollment is being processed"
I applied for an Apple Developer Organization account more than two weeks ago, but I have not received any further information regarding the registration process. Apple previously requested some supporting documents, which I submitted as instructed. I have also followed up, but have yet to receive a response. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? If so, what steps did you take to resolve it?

Is there any way of automating Apple Pay certificate generation in a CI/CD pipeline?
Hi everyone! I’m trying to automate the Apple Pay setup in a CI/CD pipeline for a preproduction environment. Right now, we are generating manually the Apple Pay certificates for both the root domain and merchant ID through the Apple Developer Portal, then manually upload them to our preproduction servers. My idea is to be able to automate this process for this environment. I’ve been digging through docs and forums but haven’t found any way to generate or renew these certificates automatically via an API or any other method. Does anyone know if Apple offers something like this? Or if not, what’s the best way to handle this in an automated workflow? I've been thinking about a web driver, but I'm not a big fan of this kind of solution. Thanks a lot for any ideas or advice!

Updating developer name on the App Store
Hi everyone, I made a mistake when submitting my first app and accidentally set my developer name as the app name instead of my business name. Now all my apps show the wrong developer name on the App Store. Apple support said it can't be changed after the first app, but I've seen some posts mentioning people got it changed through support. Has anyone successfully changed their developer name after initial setup? Is closing the account and starting fresh the only real option? Really don't want to lose my app's reviews and ratings. Any experiences or advice would be appreciated! Thanks

Applying for Developer Program outside of supported regions
Hello, I'm currently living in Finland and would like to apply for the developer program in order to develop an app for the Apple Vision Pro. I understand that Finland is not supported in this matter, so I thought about making an German AppleID, since that is supported in the AVP App Store, and enroll in the program with that. The problem is that, since I'm not a German citizen nor have a residency there, would that cause a problem in the identity verification process? Is this allowed at all? If not, are there any workarounds to be able to get the developer account outside of supported regions? Thank you!

Need Help Updating Incorrect Information Submitted During Enrollment
Hello, I’m facing an issue with my developer account enrollment and would appreciate your guidance. I created an account and gave access to my developer to assist with the process. After I completed the payment, I didn’t proceed with enrollment immediately. Later, my developer attempted to enroll on my behalf, but he mistakenly submitted his own personal information instead of mine. Now, whenever we try to enroll, we keep encountering errors. I believe this is due to the incorrect identity information that was submitted earlier. I would like to update the enrollment details with my correct personal information so I can complete the process properly. However, I’m unable to find an option to edit or reset the information already submitted. My questions are: How can I change the identity information that was previously submitted? Is it possible to reset the enrollment process so I can start fresh with my correct details? Do you require any proof of identity or documentation to assist with this change? I’m willing to provide them if needed. Thank you for your help. Best regards,

Apple Developer Enrollment — I'm the LLC Owner but Getting Upload Error
Hey everyone, I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as a company (LLC), and I’m the sole owner and CEO. I uploaded all the documents required, but when I try to re-upload the missing one using their upload link, I get this error message: “Sorry, you don’t have access. Your account isn’t authorized to upload files.” Has anyone faced this before? Is there a fix or do I need to contact Apple directly? Also, they’re asking for a business card or an employment verification letter — but I’m the owner and don’t have either. How do you handle this if you’re the only person in the LLC? Do I just create a business card or write the verification letter myself? Any help or advice would be much appreciated. 🙏 Thanks in advance!

My account registration is stuck indefinitely, and the support team hasn’t resolved it! Before hosting developer conferences, shouldn’t Apple at least ensure the registration process works for developers?
My account application was rejected, and I’ve been stuck in limbo! The outdated process needs an update! To the Apple Developer Support Team, I am a developer currently applying for an Apple Developer Account. Below is a brief summary of the technical obstacles I encountered during my registration process on June 4th, along with suggestions for process optimization: Problem Overview During registration, the payment confirmation page froze for approximately 10 minutes with no loading indicators. Without any error codes or timeout messages on the interface, I was forced to restart the registration process 3 times. Conflict with App Store daily purchase limits was identified when accessing via mobile. After resolving the limit issue, the registration system continued to display a “Contact Support” error. I immediately reached out to the support team. Support Team Interaction The support team repeatedly responded with vague updates like “awaiting system synchronization,” offering no estimated resolution time or escalation path. I was told to either “wait indefinitely” or “try again with a different identity.” Wait, I’m just trying to register with my own credentials—why can’t I proceed after a 10-minute attempt? Impact Account access restrictions have halted my ability to develop applications. Optimization Suggestions User Experience Enhancements: Implement real-time alerts (e.g., pop-ups, notifications) for payment-related issues on desktop to avoid silent failures. Add a pre-registration check for App Store balance/limit conflicts. Transparency & Accountability: Replace opaque “black-box” error handling with clear, rule-based guidance for developers. Provide a dedicated escalation channel and ensure timely human intervention for unresolved issues. As a developer committed to the iOS ecosystem, I acknowledge the complexity of account systems but believe targeted UX adjustments could prevent cascading failures like this. I welcome technical discussions to resolve my current registration blockage and collaborate on preventive measures.
