Where is the Apple Developer Program and Support I have paid for?
Been trying to get into Developer Prgram since December 2025. And like many others, it seems the biggest tech company on the planet cannot streamline an enrollment program. Unless, it’s by design, to test your nerve? Anyways, I have now ended up paying twice, and still not even a squeak from support. There is no Developer Support phone number in South Africa, and mails go unanswered. How is this possible? $200 out of pocket, and nothing to show. Cannot even find a method for refunds. If there are steps to still follow or docs to submit, why take my money, then ask for more info?? But this black hole of SILENCE…. Now that skype is no longer, what other platform will allow me to call the US Support number from South Africa?

StoreKit2 Transaction.updates 线上返回大量已 finish 的历史订单(甚至是 2024 年的)
我们在生产环境中通过日志监控,发现部分线上用户出现了如下异常行为: Transaction.updates 突然一次性返回大量历史订单(我们看到几十甚至上百条)。 这些订单的 purchaseDate 显示为很早之前(最早甚至是 2024 年),并且我们系统中已经确认这些订单早就处理过并调用过 transaction.finish()。 这些历史订单并未重新发生购买或恢复。 同一时间调用 Transaction.unfinished 并未返回这些订单,说明它们在系统状态中也不是未完成交易。 这不是个例,在多个用户设备上都捕获到了类似情况。

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Stuck, cannot Proceed Past Enrollment Screen
I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program but cannot get past the enrolment screen in the Developer app on my Mac. When I click Enroll, it does not proceed to the payment screen, it just says unable to compete, contact support. I then received an email from Apple Developer Support saying my enrolment "couldn't be completed due to one or more reasons". I'm not even sure how that email is even helpful. I am an individual developer based in India trying to publish my first app on the App Store. My Apple ID is in good standing and I have no history of policy violations. Has anyone in India experienced this issue and resolved it? Is this a known problem with Indian Apple IDs or payment methods? Is there a way to enroll directly through the website instead of the Mac app? Any help appreciated.

Apple developer Enrollment bug
I created an new Apple developer account, completed enrollment by finalizing the payment and uploading my Passport, yet there has not been any correspondence or approval since 8 days and the dashboard still shows I need to complete the payment to enroll, while I have a transaction in my bank account and received the invoice+confirmation. Not getting any response via phone or email contact. Where can I reach out / what can I do? It's quite annoying as we're losing momentum.

Technical Enrollment Escalated but No Progress - ID: DAJ7B62DSR
Hello, I am seeking assistance regarding my organization's enrollment. My enrollment ID is DAJ7B62DSR. After providing all requested documents (Government ID, Articles of Incorporation, and EIN), my case was recently escalated to an internal team (Case: 102888036786). However, we are facing significant delays in launching our financial services app. Could an Apple representative please look into this or provide guidance on how to expedite the final review? We have strictly followed all D-U-N-S and legal requirements. Thank you.

Apple Developer Program: Payment confirmed, account stuck on “Pending” / “Enroll Now”
Hi, On Jan 23 I purchased the Apple Developer Program membership via the Apple Developer app on iPhone. The payment went through successfully and I received the confirmation email and invoice. However, when I sign in to developer.apple.com, my account still shows “Pending” and redirects me to “Purchase your membership / Complete your purchase”, asking me to pay again. My Apple ID subscriptions page shows the Developer membership as active (with an end date), but: Developer portal: Pending, prompts to purchase again Apple Developer app (Account screen): still shows Enroll Now / membership not active The web flow displays an Enrollment ID (I can share masked) What I’ve tried: Confirmed I’m using the same Apple ID everywhere Signed out, cleared cookies, tried private/incognito browser Waited well beyond 48 hours (it’s been ~1 week) I do not want to pay twice. This looks like a duplicate/unfinished enrollment or the paid membership not being properly attached/activated for my Apple ID. Has anyone experienced this and found a workaround? Any advice on the fastest way to get Apple to attach/activate the paid membership and close the pending enrollment? Thanks.

Can't enrol to Apple Developer Program
Hi, I'm from India and payment has been deducted for the membership and I have received an email confirming my subscription of the program but I still cannot access my enrolment dashboard. It says "You'll receive an email soon" in my Apple Developer app under "Enrol" and it says Pending on my Apple Account on web. I don't understand why such as a small task is such a problematic thing for Apple. Need help understanding what's going on.

Update on the arrival of swift code challenge rewards
Hi, I’m a winner of the Apple Swift Student Challenge and wanted to ask about a couple of things. It has been around two weeks since I received the winning notification, but I haven’t received any update regarding the delivery of the AirPods Max (2th generation). Additionally, I wanted to check on the Apple Developer Program upgrade that is included with the award. My account doesn’t appear to be upgraded yet. Could you please confirm the timeline for both the prize shipment and the developer program upgrade, or let me know if anything is required from my side? Just want to make sure everything is on track. Thank you! Best regards, Kiaan

Enrollment still PENDING after 4 days
I purchased my Apple Developer program on April 16, 2026. It’s been 4 days now, and my status is still stuck on "Pending." What’s worse is that the system is now prompting me to make the payment again. I know many of us are experiencing this exact same issue right now. I am from Thailand, so I decided to make a phone call to the Apple Developer support team to get this sorted out. They told me that due to a massive volume of requests, it might take a very long time to approve. They promised to "expedite" my process, but completely failed to provide any specific timeframe or even an estimated date of approval. Honestly, it felt like the support agent was just reading from a script to calm me down without actually offering any real help—they didn't even ask for my Order Number to check my case! Based on how this is being handled, I strongly believe that anyone reading this who is stuck in the same situation might have to endure this problem for months. Has anyone actually gotten their account approved recently?

Enrollment Completed on Web Shows “Complete Your Purchase” and Status Pending
Hello Apple Developer Support Team, I completed my Apple Developer Program enrollment directly through the Developer app on site https://developer.apple.com . The identity verification and payment were successfully processed. However, when I log in via the web, I still see the message “Complete Your Purchase,” and my enrollment status appears as Pending. The system seems to be asking me to proceed with enrollment again. I applied on April 2, 2026 but still haven't been getting any mail activation back or email ticket, phone call from Apple. Could you please review my account and clarify the current status of my enrollment? Thank you for your assistance. Kind regards

Apple Developer enrollment stuck due to email verification code error
Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here has run into this before. I created an Apple Developer account and everything was working fine until Apple asked me to verify my work email address. The email is legitimate and matches my website domain. Apple did send me the verification email, and I received the code without any issue. However, when I entered the code, it repeatedly said the code was incorrect — even though I’m certain it was entered correctly. After a few attempts, I hit the limit and now see a message saying I’ve exceeded the maximum number of attempts (3). I contacted Apple Developer Support through the developer site about a week ago but haven’t received any response yet. At this point: I can log into my Apple ID normally with no issues I cannot proceed with enrolling in the Apple Developer Program I can’t pay the fee or complete setup because the email verification step is blocked It’s been over a week since the lockout, and I’m not sure how to reset the verification or trigger a new code. Has anyone experienced this before, or does anyone know how to get this resolved? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
