Im having trouble paying for my new developer account and it seems its been an ongoing issue for new enrollments. Has anyone else had this issue? If so how did you manage to resolve it? I keep getting "Your payment authorisation failed on card. Please verify your information and try again, or try another payment method." I tried different cards, called my bank, tried on safari, tried on the app and been back and forth with support for a couple of weeks no with no solution. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to update to BETA 2 but my mac mini does not see the update and keeps telling me that my machine is up to date. How do I get the latest BETA 2?

Hi everyone, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and paid for the membership through the Apple Developer app on my iPhone on January 20, 2025. The membership fee was successfully charged to my debit card. However, I never received any confirmation email, invoice, or receipt for the payment, and the subscription does NOT appear under my Apple ID subscriptions. As of today, my developer account is still not active, and I’m seeing inconsistent information across platforms: In the Apple Developer app, I now see a message saying that I can’t enroll with this account, even though the payment was charged. On the developer.apple.com website, it says that I still need to purchase the membership. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support via email, but I haven’t received any response yet. Has anyone experienced a similar issue where: The membership fee was charged, No confirmation or receipt email was received, The subscription does not appear in the Apple ID, And the developer account remains inactive? Any guidance or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I registered over 48 hours ago, my payment has cleared the bank and my account still shows as "pending". Any way to speed this up or is there something I missed that I need to complete?

Hi everyone, I registered for the Apple Developer Program about a week ago and my status is still Pending. I’ve emailed Apple but haven’t received any response yet. Just wondering if others are experiencing the same thing recently, or if there’s another way to follow up. Thanks a lot!

I tried many times, I tried at least 7 cards. But I couldn't manage to pay. Please help me, apple support did not get back to all 4 of my tickets. •••**** We could not receive confirmation for the payment you wanted to make with your card. Please review your information and try again or try another payment method.

When I tried to pay the fee of enrollment, it declines. I've tried 2 credit cards but the results were same!

Every time I try to renew my Apple Developer account, I get a message like "This item is not available in your country or region." (I'm in the United States) I reached out to Apple Developer support via email (because Apple Developer does not offer phone options anymore for any support topics on the website), and they gave me the following response. "We can’t verify your identity with the Apple Developer app or provide further assistance with the Apple Account for Apple developer programs." This is ridiculous! I have multiple apps on the App Store and in TestFlight. I use my Apple Developer account to make a living- how is this even allowed? I have never done anything to violate any terms or agreements. Has anyone else been through this issue and how did they get it resolved?

We noticed some irregular activity associatedwith your vendor number 89341607 andhave paused your earnings payments whilewe investigate.Once our review is completewe'll determine if we can resume your payments. If you have any questions, contact us. Best regards, Apple Developer Relations Today I received this email. May I ask who has encountered the same issue and how long it will take to resolve?

Hi Apple Developer Support / Community, My Apple Developer Program enrollment is stuck due to identity verification. Country/region: Australia (I’m currently in Australia) Passport: non-local passport (Japanese) The Apple Developer app rejects non-local passport uploads automatically, so Apple Support instructed me to upload documents via a special upload link. Phone support confirmed the documents were received, but there has been no progress for over 2 weeks. I also submitted the Apple Developer Program Support contact form, but have not received any reply. Case ID: 102795934998 I understand the community can’t access my account details. I’m posting to ask: Is there any way to get this routed to the Identity Verification / Enrollment Operations queue? What exact next step should I request from support to unblock enrollment? Has anyone experienced a similar “special upload link” process and long delays? I need this resolved to publish my iOS app. Any guidance or escalation path would be appreciated. Thank you.

Each year I get my renewal email from Apple, however, since 2019 (yes, this is the 4th year in a row) I've been unable to renew due to this infamous "Please enter fewer characters" error message. Each time I've had to open a support case, talk to someone on the phone, they take all of my details along with screenshots, etc. and manually renew my subscription. Once they've charged my card I never hear from them again and issue never gets resolved. IDK if any Apple Dev Support folks actually use this forum but this is ridiculous.

I have already paid the $99 fee via the Apple Developer app, but my account still says "Enroll Now" and forward me to browser. Order ID:MQQ6VYNN1Y I have lost 5 days of the right to use the service even though I have paid. Can you please manually sync my payment and activate my membership and extend my subscription deadline? Thank you.

Hi, Our account was due for renewal and not getting renew option neither on the website nor on the app. While the banner shows renewal is due but no option to pay. Attaching the screenshot below need immediate help.

I enrolled for the Apple Developer Program last Thursday (Feb 12) - no status update apart from a message I've seen others have thus processed payment: Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process. I've reached out to support twice now, no luck. Anything that worked for someone in the same boat? I have a test group planned and would need to apply my app for testflight as soon as possible to leave some headroom.

I have received an invitation to a development team in the Apple Developer Program. Having filled the form out and completing the image challenge successfully, tapping on continue simply results in the button graying itself out. The JavaScript console shows the following error when this happens: { code: -4 data: "Destination unavailable. 500" message: "Application error." } I have tried this process in Safari, Chromium, as well as on mobile data on my iPhone, and the result is the same each time. Other messages in the console: [Warning] 30 console messages are not shown.
