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!

Urgent: Developer Account Access Needed Before September
Hello everyone, I urgently need help with my Apple Developer account. It has been over one month since I started the enrollment process, and I still cannot access my account. My app must be published before September, and this delay is causing serious impact on my work. Every time I try to proceed, I get this error: pgsql Copy Edit Unable to find a team with the given Team ID '7QVTL796RL' to which you belong. Please contact Apple Developer Program Support. https://developer.apple.com/support I have already contacted Apple Developer Program Support, but the issue is still unresolved. I am willing to provide any additional documents or payments immediately to get this fixed. This is time-sensitive and business-critical — if any Apple staff or experienced developers have advice, please let me know how I can escalate or resolve this quickly. Thank you in advance for any urgent help.

Apple Developer Program Account Review Delays
I am posting here to express my significant concern regarding the excessive time my Apple Developer Program account application has been held under review. It has now been over a month. This application is for a non-profit church service app. I have provided every single piece of documentation requested—and then some. It honestly feels like I've submitted enough information that if they asked for the original blueprint of the church building, I could hand that over too. The entire process is currently stalled, preventing a service-oriented application from being deployed and ultimately hindering our outreach efforts. Has anyone else experienced a review period this long for a clear-cut non-profit application? More directly, to the Apple Developer Team: What is the current expected timeframe for approval, and why is this particular application still pending after more than 30 days, despite comprehensive documentation? This delay is beyond frustrating and needs an immediate resolution.

How can I change my country on the developer account?
I enrolled years ago and abandoned my app project. I'm trying again now to port a web app I already created but I no longer live in the U.S. Like many countries in the global south, Costa Rica does not have physical addresses. My ID here does not have an address on it. We don't have postal services, not like in western countries. Our bank statements don't have addresses on them: because we don't have addresses. My utility bill is in my wife's name and so is my phone and internet. Yet I'm being asked to provide these details I cannot provide. I cannot pay for a developer subscription otherwise because my card is from a bank here, not the U.S. I also need my developer account to be FROM here so that any business org I create is also FROM here. What can I do? They're asking me for: A photocopy of your valid (not expired) government-issued identification showing the new address • A recent change-of-address document filed with your local postal service • A document from your local registration office showing the new address • A recent utility bill, bank statement, or a letter from a government agency that shows your name and new address

Developer Program membership
Yesterday I paid for my developer account the way I pay for Apple Music and iCloud every month. I received an email that the payment was successful. But my account still looks unpaid. Now if I try to click the renew active button in the Developer app I get a message that my developer account is already subscribed. Last time I was told in technical support that the payment was made for another developer account, but I paid for my account while logged in with my apple id. I ask you to resolve this issue so that my account becomes active.

Problem Apple Developer, Something Went Wrong issue track order number
Hello, I am experiencing an issue with the Apple Developer Program. Yesterday, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and entered my Visa card details. However, later that night, I received a notification from my bank that the payment was charged but failed because my balance was insufficient. After that, I added funds to my bank account, withdrew/canceled my previous enrollment, and then enrolled again using the same Visa card. After re-enrolling, I received a notification from my bank and an email confirming that the payment was successful, with the order ID: “We're processing your order – D00****” However, when I try to track the order by clicking the link in the email or checking the order status, it shows the following message: Something went wrong. There was a problem with your request. Please try again. Could you please explain why this issue is happening and help me check the status of my Apple Developer Program enrollment?

What is the process or approvals I need to list RMG (Real Money Gaming) Rummy App from India on Appstore?
Hi everyone, I’m looking for guidance on the proper procedure and requirements to list a Real Money Gaming (RMG) app—specifically a Rummy app—on the Apple App Store for Indian users. From my understanding of the App Store Review Guidelines, apps involving real-money gaming must comply with specific rules around licensing, geo-restriction, and payment handling. However, I’d appreciate clarification on the following points: 1. Licensing Requirements: • What type of license or legal documentation is required for listing an RMG app in India? • Does Apple require proof of approval from Indian gaming authorities? 2. Geo-restrictions: • If certain Indian states do not permit real-money Rummy, how should those states be restricted within the app? • Does Apple mandate geo-fencing at the app level? 3. App Submission Process: • Are there any additional review steps or submission categories specific to real-money gaming? • Is it necessary to flag the app under a special category during submission? 4. Payment Handling: • Since Apple doesn’t allow in-app purchases for gambling, what’s the approved method of integrating external wallets or payment gateways? If anyone has successfully listed an RMG app from India or has experience navigating this process, your insights would be really helpful. Also, if there are any Apple contacts or official checklists for this category, please share those resources. Thanks in advance!

Not able to enroll
We are facing an issue with creating a developer account for our organisation on the App Store. Apple mentions that there was already an account with this entity whose membership got terminated 4 years back and they can't create another one. We don't have any idea who created that account. It was created and terminated before we got our DUNS number. Despite us submitting proofs that me and my partner are the authorised person for this organisation and creating a case multiple times, we have made no progress on this. How can we escalate this and ensure someone from team actually looks at our case carefully?

Request: the role access accessing diagnosticSignatures in the REST API
We want to automate getting crash reports from ASC via CI or some other mechanism. Having developers manually check the Xcode Organizer isn't a scalable solution for us. Even with a api key with the App Manager role, we get a 403. https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/diagnosticSignatures?limit=50 requires ADMIN role access which makes it a non starter in our org because of access restrictions. Since developers have access to the crash reports via Xcode in their developer roles, it should make sense for the REST API to expose the same data without ADMIN permissions.

Paid for Apple Developer Program but enrollment is stuck and system asks me to enroll again
Hello, I need help with an issue regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I completed the payment for the annual membership and received the official invoice from Apple. My card was charged successfully, and I have all the payment references. However, after the payment was processed: My account remained in Pending status The message “Complete your purchase” kept appearing When attempting the payment again, the system reported that the order was already paid Now the enrollment flow has reset completely, and the system is asking me to start enrollment and pay again, even though the first payment was successful This seems like a synchronization issue where the payment was recorded in the Apple Online Store system, but not linked to my Developer enrollment. I do not want to be charged again, since the first transaction was already completed. Could someone from Apple please help link the payment to my Apple ID or advise how to activate my membership? Right now my account cannot proceed with enrollment and I cannot access App Store Connect.

Enrollment still pending with Apple Developer
Frustrated developer here. I’ve been dealing with Apple developers via telephone and have been submitting a case a week for the last four weeks with the same response “The developers are reviewing your application“. How long does it take to review an application? It’s weird because I started the same process with Google at the same time and they are now reviewing my app for publishing.
