Can't figure out first subscription
I have created my first subscription and pay wall, everything works 100% in testing, however when it comes to launching to Apple for review I feel like I get caught up in a chicken and egg issue which never resolves. When the product goes in to waiting for review it can no longer be displayed or fake purchased on my Superwall paywall. If it doesn't display apple can't approve and this goes on and on. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.

Terminated Without Explanation – No Contact Options Left
Hello, I represent a registered business operating under a developer account that has always followed Apple’s guidelines, complied fully with review requests, and submitted documentation whenever asked. We have never knowingly violated any policy, and we categorically deny any dishonest or fraudulent behavior. Last week, our developer account was suddenly terminated without any prior warning or opportunity to address concerns. The message provided no specific reason, no actionable details, and no path to resolution. This has left us completely locked out — unable to appeal through standard channels, and unable to contact anyone directly. It’s shocking, disorienting, and devastating to a legitimate business with employees, users, and operations depending on this platform. To make matters worse, this is not the first time. A previous termination notice was sent weeks ago and then — after we submitted a respectful and professional appeal — Apple quietly reversed the decision overnight, without any explanation or follow-up. We were left to assume it was a mistake. We had hoped that incident was rare and behind us. Now it’s happening again, without explanation, and without a human conversation. We are losing money and users every day, and we’re still in the dark about what Apple believes we did wrong — because no one has told us. We submitted a support ticket (ID: 102590329012), but have received no reply. We are committed to transparency, and we’re ready to provide any information needed. But we need someone to acknowledge this issue and help us find a path forward. If anyone has experienced something similar or knows of escalation methods that worked, please share. We’re doing everything we can to resolve this respectfully — but we are shocked and deeply concerned. Thank you.

TESTFLIGHT IS UNABLE TO TEST- Status is testing
Hello Apple Developer Support, I've been waiting for my app to become available on TestFlight for testing for around three weeks now. Despite deleting and re-uploading the build multiple times, I continue to face the same issue. I've attached a screenshot of the problem for your reference. Could you please help me understand how to resolve this? It's becoming quite frustrating. Looking forward to your guidance.

Unable to Complete Apple Developer Enrollment – Account Issue
Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I am experiencing an issue when trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program with my Apple ID . When I click “Join the Apple Developer Program,” a message appears stating: “Your account may have an issue. You need to resolve it before you can continue the enrollment process.” I have already contacted Apple Support multiple times in China, but the issue has not been resolved after several weeks. This is preventing us from completing the registration and moving forward with our app development. Could you please help us: Identify the specific issue with this account. Provide the steps required to resolve it. Expedite the process, as this delay is significantly affecting our business. Account details: Apple ID Region: China Mainland Enrollment type: Company/Organization We would greatly appreciate your assistance and a timely resolution. Please let us know if you require any additional documents or verification. Thank you for your support. Best regards,

Developer Account Payment Made, But No Activation Email After 3 Weeks
Hello, I created an Apple Developer account and paid the €79 membership fee. It has now been three weeks, and I still haven’t received any email confirming the activation or approval of my account. Apple mentioned that I would receive a response within 48 hours, but I have only received two emails related to the payment invoice. There has been no update regarding the status or activation of my developer account. Can someone help me understand what might be causing the delay, or how I can get in touch with the right support team to resolve this? Thank you.

Issue with Apple Developer Enrollment – Email Validation
Hi Forum, I am currently facing an issue with the Apple Developer enrollment process. My legal entity, Medinertia Technologies Pvt Ltd, is registered in India, and I have obtained a valid D-U-N-S number for it. I also purchased the domain medinertia.co.in and created a business email (support @medinertia.co.in). However, this email is still not being accepted during enrollment. Could you please clarify what domain extensions or email formats are supported for business verification? Without clear guidelines on acceptable domain names and email IDs, it becomes difficult and costly to keep purchasing multiple domains. Your guidance on the correct domain/email requirements will be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Uday

Updating developer name on the App Store
Hi everyone, I made a mistake when submitting my first app and accidentally set my developer name as the app name instead of my business name. Now all my apps show the wrong developer name on the App Store. Apple support said it can't be changed after the first app, but I've seen some posts mentioning people got it changed through support. Has anyone successfully changed their developer name after initial setup? Is closing the account and starting fresh the only real option? Really don't want to lose my app's reviews and ratings. Any experiences or advice would be appreciated! Thanks

How to Complete the Apple Developer Program Enrollment
How to Complete the Apple Developer Program Enrollment I want to register an Apple Developer account. I've communicated many times with Apple technical Advisors via email but haven't received effective solutions. The most recent reply was: "经核实,我们已经将你的请求升级到相关运营团队,如果有进一步的消息,我们会尽快通知你。" Here's the English translation: "After verification, we have escalated your request to the relevant operations team. If there are any updates, we will notify you as soon as possible." Almost every time I get the same response, but there's been no progress. Could other developers in the forum give me some advice? How should I communicate to successfully complete the registration? Additional background information: I previously submitted my documents and passed the review, but encountered issues at the payment stage when using a credit card. I asked the advisor whether alternative payment methods were possible if I couldn't use a credit card—I just wanted to understand the options. However, my application was directly revoked and switched to applying via the mobile app, forcing me to restart the entire process. Now, I'm stuck because the mobile app keeps reporting errors. I hope to switch back to the web application instead. Currently, the web application portal remains unavailable. If any Apple technical advisors see this, please help address my issue. My case ID is 102573639542. Thank you.

Need Help Updating Incorrect Information Submitted During Enrollment
Hello, I’m facing an issue with my developer account enrollment and would appreciate your guidance. I created an account and gave access to my developer to assist with the process. After I completed the payment, I didn’t proceed with enrollment immediately. Later, my developer attempted to enroll on my behalf, but he mistakenly submitted his own personal information instead of mine. Now, whenever we try to enroll, we keep encountering errors. I believe this is due to the incorrect identity information that was submitted earlier. I would like to update the enrollment details with my correct personal information so I can complete the process properly. However, I’m unable to find an option to edit or reset the information already submitted. My questions are: How can I change the identity information that was previously submitted? Is it possible to reset the enrollment process so I can start fresh with my correct details? Do you require any proof of identity or documentation to assist with this change? I’m willing to provide them if needed. Thank you for your help. Best regards,

MacBook developer mode force enabled
I have a MacBook with AppleCare+ recently purchased retail (no business account or associated developer account) from the Cupertino visitor center store that is configured with developer mode force enabled. Is it expected for a retail purchased, non-provisioned device to be set up with developer mode force enabled? Or did I hit the lotto?

Apple Developer Enrollment — I'm the LLC Owner but Getting Upload Error
Hey everyone, I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as a company (LLC), and I’m the sole owner and CEO. I uploaded all the documents required, but when I try to re-upload the missing one using their upload link, I get this error message: “Sorry, you don’t have access. Your account isn’t authorized to upload files.” Has anyone faced this before? Is there a fix or do I need to contact Apple directly? Also, they’re asking for a business card or an employment verification letter — but I’m the owner and don’t have either. How do you handle this if you’re the only person in the LLC? Do I just create a business card or write the verification letter myself? Any help or advice would be much appreciated. 🙏 Thanks in advance!

I made the payment but they still haven't released the developer license
Good afternoon everyone. I made the purchase and payment (as shown in the screenshot) on August 6th. However, two business days have passed and they still haven't granted full access (including for publishing new apps). I've already sent two emails requesting support (IDs 102663263864 and 102665787348), but I haven't received a response yet. Nothing appears in my developer account. Has anyone experienced this? Do you have any tips?
