Apple Developer Program Enrollment
Hi. For over 1.5 months, I am trying to opt in apple developer program for my company. Couple of times, I got informed that I have missing documents like shown below. • Applicant’s employment verification • Applicant’s employee badge or business card • Business documents for COMPANY_NAME I have provided employment verification and business documents, but I don't have any employee badge or business card so instead, I've provided my own id card's photo. Apple keeps sending me same email regarding missing documents. What I am missing here? What should I do if i don't have employee badge or business card? Thank you

Apple Contact Forms not working
Hi, I need to contact Apple developer support. But on "Call Me" - it get a response to say the email is invalid (it is a telephone number!). I can also see in dev tools it fails with "errorToken": "EMAIL_VALIDATION_FAILED". "errorMessage": "Given emailAddress : xxxx is Invalid", I get the same error on the "Send a Message" form. The other members of my team also have the same problem, so we have no way to contact support.

Apple Development Enrollment Payment
Hi, Yesterday I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program through the app (like the website said) and it seemed to work fine. I went through everything in the app and then I had to pay for the service, so I did. (the invoice says Apple Developer Program (Automatic Renewal): $96.99 + VAT). I can see this transaction on my bank statement as well. After finishing the the Developer app said "Wait for an email" or something similar for a day until now it says "Enrollment through the apple developer app is not available for this apple account". I found this odd so I logged in to my account in a browser (on a PC) to see what's up and there it still says if I click my name "Pending". The weird thing is that there is this banner that says "Purchase your membership." and a link to complete my purchase??? As if I did not purchase it yesterday. So in desperation I decided to see what's up and went through this process on my PC now and it took down my order and I got a prompt in the browser to wait 2 days (48 hours). Will I get charged twice? Also this time it prompted the price: $99.

Waiting for App Approval
Hello Elf Team, I sent the game a day ago and reached out for a quick review to meet my company's event deadline, but I am still waiting for the review to begin. I contacted via the contact form but have not received any response. Is there anyone from the forum who can help expedite this or provide advice on how to proceed? Thank you!

The local player is not authenticated. Please log the local player in to Game Center.
I'm receiving this error when attempting to log into my game and authenticating via Firebase and Game Center. I am using Unity to develop my game and have been able to successfully authenticate with Google Play and Apple Sign In but Game Center is giving some trouble. The error seems easy enough except I have triple checked that I am signed in to Game Center with the profile that is set up in Sandbox Testing. Other things I have verified: I have a provisioning profile and game center is on it. In xCode I have Game Center on my signing capabilities, entitlements, and have the GameKit.framework in my Link Binary with Libraries. Any ideas as to what may be causing this error to throw? Maybe another step I missed somewhere?

Request for Urgent Assistance with Developer Account Suspension
Hello, I am reaching out regarding the suspension of my Apple Developer account and the removal of my app from the App Store. I have already submitted an appeal and provided detailed explanations addressing the concerns raised by the App Store team, but I have not yet received a response. The suspension has caused significant issues for my app’s iOS users, as they are unable to receive updates and enjoy the latest features available to Android users. Many iOS players have expressed their frustration, and this situation is affecting the overall user experience and trust in the platform. I believe the issues raised by Apple might stem from a misunderstanding. I have clarified that my app does not engage in any fraudulent or misleading activities and have submitted updates to resolve potential areas of confusion. I kindly request any guidance or assistance to expedite the review process, as this situation is causing harm to both my users and the reputation of my app. Thank you for your time and understanding. I appreciate any support or suggestions you can provide to resolve this matter promptly. Best regards,

Ask for help and solutions about the Apple developer account ban
Our team has not been involved in the Apple development field for a long time, and due to the lack of deep enough understanding of Apple's development related rules in the early stage, there were some mistakes in the operation process, resulting in the account being blocked. In the more than a year since the account was blocked, we have actively engaged in learning, deeply studied the rules and requirements of Apple's development through various channels, and continuously improved our professional quality to ensure that future development work can fully comply with the specifications. Now, we'd like to see if there's a viable way to unblock our account. We've learned from the lessons we've learned and are confident that we'll be able to follow Apple's rules in our future development to bring users a high-quality and compliant app."

Day 5 of Apple Developer Support – Urgent Review Delay & Lack of Response
I am now on Day 5 of waiting for our Apple Developer Program approval, and despite multiple attempts to get an update, I have received no meaningful response from Apple. I have: ✅ Successfully paid membership fee and received invoice for same ✅ Reached out via support tickets, but got 0 replies. This delay is unreasonable and impacting my work. I am prepared to launch a critical app that aligns with Apple’s ecosystem and guidelines, but Apple’s lack of communication is preventing me from moving forward. After lot of hard work and resources I have completed app development and set up other processes for marketing. I demand a real update from an Apple Developer Program representative today. • Not silence. • A direct response with a timeline for approval. Apple claims to support developers, but these excessive delays and lack of transparency tell a different story. If there is a legitimate issue, I expect clear communication. If there isn’t, we expect this approval to be completed immediately. Apple, please address this case today. I cannot afford further inaction. Order ID: MNTHQYXGLN
