Our developer account was granted the com.apple.developer.mail-client by Apple ages ago, which we use for one of our apps. At the time, this entitlement was granted through a special "entitlements" drop-down on the profile creation page. In fact, the entitlement is still available to us in this manner: Unfortunately, applying the entitlement directly to the profile no longer works through the App Store Connect API. Which is a bummer because we periodically use the API to update our development and ad hoc profiles with new UDIDs. I was eventually able to get Apple to migrate the entitlement to a capability that we can instead apply to the app IDs in our account. Great! However, for some reason the "Default Mail App" capability (on the "Edit your App ID Configuration" screen) shows does NOT apply to Ad hoc profiles: Note that "Ad hoc" is missing. This means we still need to update the Ad hoc profile for the app in question manually through the Apple developer portal. This has to be a bug. It makes no sense that this specific capability doesn't apply to Ad hoc profiles. Other capabilities don't have this issue. e.g.: Another strange thing is that on the profile page for the ad hoc profile under "Enabled Capabilities" it shows "Default Mail App" (see screenshot above) but the capability/entitlement is missing from the downloaded profile unless I add it via the drop down menu on the profile page. How do I get Apple to fix this? Multiple support tickets submitted via our developer account have gone unanswered. (It took months just to get the entitlement partially migrated in the first place.)

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.

I submitted my application for the Apple enrollment about couple days ago, and it’s been almost a week now, status still shows as "Pending," and I haven’t received any updates from Apple yet. Has anyone else experienced this delay, or can anyone share their experience with the timeline?

I'm based in Belarus and have been trying to reach Apple Support for over a week with no response. I paid for the Apple Developer Program about a week and a half ago—the payment was processed, but I haven't seen any results or confirmation. They asked me to submit ID documents, so I sent a photo of my passport. Since then, I haven’t received any updates. I’m not sure how to get through to support to either confirm the status of my purchase or issue a refund. Thanks for your attention.

Hello everyone, I’m starting to losing my hope to publish my application on App Store. Because I applied for apple developer membershi, and just waited for a few time, apple charged 99$ from me, and said wait up to 48 hours, I get a response that said that I need to pass my id documents, so I attached my documents in the given link, and again email said to me wait up to 48 hours, this email I got a week ago, and still no response from them. I opened 3 tickets in support, and still no reply. Probably I could call them but unfortunately I can’t, because I live in Belarus, and we don’t have any official apple calling support, so Im very upset with it. Even if there’s some problems with the country where I live, why just don’t give me a rejection and dont charge money from me? They just took 99$, and no information about status of my application for membership. I applied from website

(To all readers, moderators, AI, bots, etc: please avoid telling me to search the forum! Answer here. Thank you!). No matter what I do, no matter which link or advice I follow, I can't end up at the invoice of my paid subscription. Not on screen, nor for download. Just as if it does not exist (emails doesn't count, it is just a receipt text). I sign in, I go to Orders, I enter the order number (e.g. AEM079****), I enter the SAME email where I received the confirmation email for the purchase. At the end it says either "there was a problem... blah-blah, try again" or something similar to "The order number entered is already linked to an Apple ID.". Well, that IS ME, the same email. I am really sick of this already, every time my accountant asks me for the invoice, I go to Apple hoping "let me find it this time". But Nope, never happened. And it is not onle me. Can Apple solve this years-old-issue? Please do NOT close this question until I (we) all get an advice or answer which REALLY WORKS! Thank you. In case you have the knowledge how to to do this, post the answer here, do not forward me to some 5 years old advice or workaround. If you don't know, do not "guess". Thank you. And yes, I am angry :-)

I am a new apple developer and I don’t really know what this is about besides getting early update. I know that it has something to do with coding but I’m on a phone and I don’t think I can do that. Anyway I would like to know what this is really about. Thank you in advance.

After upgrading my iPad to iPadOS 26.0, I noticed that when using UIPopoverPresentationController, the popover no longer appears at the expected position. According to the debug logs, the position of the arrow indicator is printed correctly. Interestingly, the issue can be fixed temporarily by switching between portrait and landscape orientations. Could you please help me resolve this issue? UIAlertController *newSheet = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"111111" message:@"2222222222222" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet]; UIAlertAction *action = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"1112313" style:(UIAlertActionStyleDefault) handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) { }]; [newSheet addAction:action]; newSheet.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPopover; UIPopoverPresentationController *popover = [newSheet popoverPresentationController]; popover.sourceView = cell; [self presentViewController:newSheet animated:YES completion:nil];

How do I convert screen pixels to points? I plan to use the points in the program to move the shape to the desired position.

I know it was not possible previously, but wonder have things changed to support transfer of apps with this condition: Sandboxed Group Container You can only transfer sandboxed apps that are not sharing a group container. Our old company is having some issues and cannot continue, and would like to transfer to another company without doing the binary reassignment process which loses all the reviews. Thank you!

id like to get access to my app store dev membership again is there some way to expedite this ? not sure what the problem is with payment

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I keep getting this message: Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time. I’ve already verified my Apple ID and updated my personal information (including my full legal name to match my ID documents), but the issue still persists. The problem is that I also can’t reach Apple Support — every time I try to contact them through the enrollment support form, it redirects me back to the same page with no response. Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is there any direct contact method (email or phone number) that actually works for resolving this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated — I’m stuck at this step and can’t move forward with publishing my apps. Thank you! — Bruno

Hi, Our organization is planning to build an MDM tool and for that we are in need of an MDM vendor certificate for ourselves. We have already enrolled in Apple Developer Program but still didn't see the MDM CSR option in apple developer portal. Did anyone get the CSR option in your developer portal after enrolling in Apple Developer Program? Please share the steps to enable that option in my developer portal. Or Do we need any other license for availing MDM CSR option ? Any insights on this is much appreciated. Thanks!

After upgrading to iOS 26, the video call feature previously implemented using Voip + LiveCommunicationKit is behaving inconsistently: when the device has a passcode, the app can properly launch to the call screen, but when there's no passcode and the device is unlocked, the app fails to launch and enter the call page. How should this issue be resolved?

Hi Apple Developer Support, We’re currently facing an issue with our Apple Store Connect account due to the updated Apple Developer Program License Agreement. Our iOS builds are failing with the following error: Apple 403 detected – Access forbidden. Unable to process request – PLA Update available. You currently don't have access to this membership resource. To resolve this issue, your team's Account Holder, Sonu Chandra, must agree to the latest Program License Agreement. The challenge is that our Account Holder is currently on medical leave and unavailable, and we’ve been advised not to reach out to her during this time. While we do have multiple team admins on the account, none of them are able to accept the updated agreement. We kindly request your support in enabling one of the team admins to review and accept the updated license agreement so we can resume our iOS build and release process. Thank you for your assistance. Thank you in advance for your swift response.

According to the thread at https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/787500?answerId=863361022#863361022, we should now be able to set VMs provisioning identifiers to run developer builds. However, the identifier check seems to be case-sensitive. I have an identifier from an old VM that was input (automatically via Xcode) to the portal as all-caps. However, now it's showing up as all lower-case (on the device). When I try to launch my application, the system logs report that the provisioning identifer doesn't match, so my application will not launch: # Error log error 13:41:36.173151-0600 taskgated-helper embedded provisioning profile not valid: file:///Applications/my-app.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile error: Error Domain=CPProfileManager Code=-212 "Provisioning profile does not allow this device."

Either the check needs to be case-insensitive, or there needs to be a way to change the registration on the developer portal to properly match.

We're unable to renew our developer program with apple because there is no renew button shown to us, neither on the website, mac app nor ios app. We followed the instructions shown to us on the app connect page on how to renew it. but when where they're saying there should be a renew button, there is none or anywhere else. How are we suppose to renew? Raised this with a support ticket but haven't received any reply, case ID: 102733260138 How to get this resolved? We don't get any "phone call" option on the support page either.

I enroll Apple Developer Program as an individual developer, but the system show me this error. Anyone same? What should I do?

I’m having issues enrolling in the Apple Developer Program. My original Apple ID was unable to enroll due to an internal restriction, and after multiple calls with Support (including L2), I was advised to create a new Apple ID and use the same enrollment code I was awarded for being selected as a Swift Student Challenge 2025 winner. However, when I attempt to redeem the code with the new account, I receive an error stating that the code has already been redeemed. I have never successfully enrolled with the original account, so the code should not be marked as used. I’ve tried working through Support several times, but I’m still stuck. Could someone please review this issue or issue a new code so I can complete my enrollment? Thank you in advance for your help.
