Unexplainable Workflow for Pending Members
Never mind how strange, unscalable, and frusterating the current developer marketing funnel and pipeline is, some details have clear solutions and simply become proxies for so many other painful issues. Nevermind Apples response to AI services, just trying to simply rejoin the developer program after several years has been a real wake-up call. Example: After several years, its unexplainable why an authenticated, loaded page with my data (it knows I'm "pending") tries to get me to re-purchase the same pending membership again to "continue my enrollment". 🤔 Crazy, but I recall actually making this mistake several years ago and needing to phone call just to get a refund for the double charge) -- still exists?

Payment processed 18 days ago, but Developer Program still not activated
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice or assistance regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I completed my purchase and paid the $99 fee back on March 5th. Today is March 23rd, and my account is still not activated. It has been 18 days of total silence. I have already sent multiple follow-up emails to Apple Support, but I haven't received a single response. My payment was successfully processed, but I haven't received any confirmation or activation emails since then. Here are my transaction details: Invoice Number: MC55225030 Web Order Number: D009495884 Sales Order Number: AEU2369279 Has anyone else experienced such a long delay recently? Is there any other way to escalate this issue besides the standard contact form? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Stuck for 3+ Weeks — No Response from Support
I have been waiting over 3 weeks for my Apple Developer Program enrollment to be activated. Here is the full timeline: Submitted individual enrollment and completed payment. Enrollment did not activate. Submitted and paid a second time. Contacted Apple Developer Support by email — was promised a response within 2 business days. No response received. Sent a follow-up email after 2 weeks. Requested a phone callback through the support page — no call received. It has now been over 3 weeks with zero communication from Apple. My account still shows enrollment as pending. I have not received any requests for additional documentation or verification. My Apple ID has two-factor authentication enabled, and my legal name matches my ID exactly. I am an individual developer with a completed app ready for App Store submission. This delay is the only thing preventing me from publishing. I am requesting: — Activation of my developer account — A refund for the duplicate payment — Any explanation for the delay If anyone from Apple can review my case or escalate it, I would greatly appreciate it. I have also seen many other developers experiencing the same issue in early 2026. Thank you.

Apple Developer account pending after week of purchasing.
Hello, I have purchased the APPLE DEVELOPER PROGRAM and it also charged my account and sent an email of the receipt. However, it has been a week I haven't received any confirmation or activation email, and in the account dashboard it says pending. I am now frustrated with the apple support too as I have sent a ticket 3 days ago and still nothing. Didn't expect this level of unresponsiveness from Apple. Is it normal or what? What am i supposed to do now? Please help

URGENT: Developer Program Expired – No Renewal Option – App Removed from App Store
Hello, We are currently experiencing a serious issue with our Apple Developer Program membership. Our membership has expired, but there is no option to renew the membership anywhere: Not on the Apple Developer website Not in the Apple Developer app Attempting to start enrollment again redirects to the main page Account details: Team ID: RZR56J4QQ8 Organization: E. V. I. ELECTRIC CARS LTD Role: Account Holder Because of this issue: All App Store agreements show as expired Our app has been removed from the App Store We are currently unable to restore service to users We already opened a Developer Support ticket about a week ago, but have not received any response. This is causing business impact, and we cannot find any way to trigger the renewal flow. Has anyone experienced this issue before, where the Renew Membership button does not appear at all? If anyone from Apple Developer Support / Apple Staff is able to assist or escalate this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Afin de pouvoir mettre à jour vos apps existantes et en soumettre de nouvelles, la personne titulaire du compte doit revoir et accepter le contrat mis à jour en se connectant à son compte." Please see if you don't have a bug and let me update my apps.

Emergency: Account holder needs to be changed
Hello Apple Developer Community, CaseIDs: 102856372004, 102846656019 I’m hoping someone can advise me on a serious issue. Our organization’s Apple Developer Program account has been effectively locked because our Account Holder’s Apple ID is inaccessible. I need to either unlock that Apple ID or transfer the Account Holder role so we can manage our apps. I’ve already reached out to Apple Developer Support since last month, but so far, I haven’t received a response. This situation is critical because our clients rely on us to maintain and update our apps. Key details: • We’re enrolled as an Organization/Company. • The current Account Holder’s Apple ID is no more with Organization and cannot perform any actions. • I have admin/manager access through another Apple ID. I’ve reviewed the documentation on transferring the Account Holder role, but it appears the transfer can only be initiated by the current Account Holder, which is impossible at this point. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows a more efficient route to escalate, I’d be extremely grateful for your insights. Thanks in advance for any advice you can share. This is critical to our organization, and we’d appreciate any pointers on how to navigate or expedite the support process.

Delayed Apple Developer Program Activation & Lack of Communication
I recently completed the payment for the Apple Developer Program successfully and received a confirmation email stating that I would receive a follow-up email within 2 days. However, it has now been more than 2 days, and I have not received any further communication. This is not my first frustrating experience with this process. In the past, I attempted to enroll using a different account, but after waiting for 2–3 weeks, I was only then informed that my payment had failed. During that time, none of my support emails were responded to, which made the situation extremely difficult to resolve. To fix this, I had to coordinate with my bank and obtain a new card, since prepaid cards are not supported for the Apple Developer Program. This time, the payment has gone through successfully—yet I am still facing delays and a complete lack of communication. What makes this even more frustrating is that my app has already been live on Google Play for around 2 months. At this point, I am essentially “stuck” waiting just to complete enrollment with Apple, which is preventing me from moving forward with my iOS release. This raises a few concerns: • Why is there no clear timeline or update after successful payment? • Why are support channels unresponsive during such critical steps? • Is this level of delay normal for all users, or are developers from smaller countries experiencing slower processing times? As developers, we rely on timely onboarding to continue building and releasing our products. Delays like this—combined with no communication—feel highly unprofessional and discouraging. I would really appreciate clarity from Apple or others who have experienced similar delays.

Apple Developer Account Still Pending After Payment (paid on March 30)
I’m currently facing a serious delay with my Apple Developer Program enrollment and wanted to check if anyone else is experiencing the same issue or has found a solution. I completed my payment on March 30, 2026 (Order Number: W1349796922), and my account status is still stuck on “Pending.” It has been several days now, well beyond the expected processing time. This delay is directly affecting my project timeline. I’m unable to publish my app, and because of this, it is affecting my commitments to my client. It’s becoming a major blocker. I’ve already submitted a support request. Has anyone here faced a similar delay recently? Did your account eventually get approved? Did contacting Apple support (call/email) help speed things up? Is there any specific step I might be missing? Any guidance or shared experience would be really helpful at this point. Thanks in advance.

Apple Developer Program paid on March 31 but still not activated - No response from Support
Hi everyone, I am writing to seek help regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I successfully paid the $99 USD enrollment fee on March 31, 2026. I received the official invoice (Web Order Number: D009560930), and my credit card was successfully charged. However, as of today, my developer account is still pending and has not been activated. I have already sent two separate emails to Apple Developer Support requesting assistance over the past few days, but I have not received any response or update from them yet. Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently? Is there any other way to escalate this issue or contact support directly to get my account activated? I have attached my invoice for reference. Any advice or help from the Apple team would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
