Renew Membership Button Missing (Recurring Issue, Account Holder)
Hello, I’m facing a recurring issue with my Apple Developer account. Every year, around the renewal period, the “Renew Membership” button does not appear in the developer portal. This already happened last year and now it’s happening again. I am the Account Holder, and I’m unable to renew my membership in any way: No “Renew Membership” option in the developer portal No active subscription available in my Apple ID (Subscriptions section) No way to proceed with renewal I have already: Logged in from different devices (Mac and iPhone) Checked Apple Developer portal and Apple ID settings Verified payment methods Tried alternative flows Nothing works — the renewal option is simply missing. I also created a support ticket, but I received a generic response that does not address this issue. This is now blocking my ability to maintain and update my apps in the App Store, which has a direct business impact. Has anyone experienced this recently? Can someone from Apple please review my account state and manually enable the renewal flow? Thanks in advance.

Issue with enrollment
Hi. I have submitted all required documents, and paid the yearly fee but now my Developer application on iphone and mac say that "Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple account" and to visit website. When I visit website it wants me to pay again to continue. Is that normal? In my Apple subscriptions I can see it already active, and it for sure was paid, eg. deducted from my bank account

Payment was received for my Apple developer account, but it's still on hold. What needs to be done?
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to resolve a persistent issue with my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I have attempted to register multiple times using different accounts due to recurring errors, and I am now in a position where I have been charged but do not have access to the program. Account History & Details: Primary Account: bilal[dot]akbas1999[at]icloud[dot]com (Initial failed attempt). Previous Attempt: bilalniyaziakbas[at]gmail[dot]com (Verified identity via friend's device, charged 650 TRY but not activated). Target Account: akbas[dot]bilal1999[at]gmail[dot]com (The account I want to use for development). The Core Issue: Whenever I attempt to complete the final payment of 1029 TRY on the official website for my target account, the transaction is rejected with the message "Check your billing information," despite my banks confirming there are no issues with my cards. I have tried 4-5 different bank accounts, all with the same result. Requested Action: I have already made a partial payment of 650 TRY via my previous attempt and I am ready to pay the full required fee to have my developer access activated on my target account: akbas[dot]bilal1999[at]gmail[dot]com. Please consolidate my attempts, clear any security flags associated with my identity/cards, and guide me on how to complete the enrollment successfully. Best regards,

Unable to enroll in Apple Developer Program – blocked before code entry (Academy enrollment)
Hello, I am currently a learner in the Apple Developer Academy and have received a valid Apple Developer Program enrollment code. However, I am completely blocked from enrolling. Whenever I try to access the Apple Developer Program enrollment page, I immediately see the message: “Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” Because of this, I cannot even reach the step where I can enter my enrollment code. This is preventing me from continuing with the Academy program, as Developer Program access is required. Details: 2FA enabled Payment method added Signed in on iPhone and used App Store Issue persists for several days I have already contacted Apple Developer Support, but received a generic response without a specific reason. This seems to be an account restriction issue rather than a problem with the enrollment code. Has anyone experienced a similar issue, or is there a way to resolve this? Thank you.

“Enroll Now” button disabled – unable to proceed with Apple Developer Program enrollment
Hello, I am currently unable to proceed with the Apple Developer Program enrollment because the “Enroll Now” button is disabled on my account. Here is my situation: During a previous enrollment attempt, there was an issue with my address information. Since then, I have not been able to restart or continue the enrollment process. The “Enroll Now” button remains greyed. Additional details: I am unable to proceed with a new enrollment attempt. I do not have access to phone support in my region. Could someone please advise on how I can proceed in this situation or whether there is a way to restart the enrollment process? Thank you for your help.

Apple Developer Account Shows “Closed” Status but App is Ready for Distribution – Unable to Access App Store Connect
Hi, I can sign in to my Apple ID, but my Apple Developer account shows a “closed” status and I’m unable to access App Store Connect features. My app is currently showing “Ready for Distribution,” so the account appears active, but developer access is restricted. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support and am waiting for their response. Also, I temporarily can’t access my primary email due to a verification issue, so I’ve provided an alternate contact email and phone number in my support request. Has anyone experienced a similar situation or knows possible reasons for a “closed” developer status while the app remains approved? Thanks.

Changing account type from individual to organization
Hello, I requested to change my Apple Developer account from Individual to Organization, but I haven’t received any feedback for several weeks now. I also don’t see any indication in the UI that the request is still pending, which makes me unsure whether it was processed at all. Additionally, I created a support ticket regarding this issue, but I have not received any response there either. Could someone please help me check the status of my request or advise me on what I should do next? Thank you.

Struggling to enroll to developer program
I am currently stuck while trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. Initially, the app kept throwing an error without any details, so I reached out to support. Unfortunately, responses take nearly a week, and in several cases, I received only generic replies. Eventually, I was asked to submit documents for ID verification, which I did a week ago. Since then, there has been no update. On top of that, the “Enroll” button in the app is now disabled. I have requested escalation multiple times, but there has been no progress on that either. This delay has already impacted my app launch timeline. Due to the lack of progress with Apple enrollment, I went ahead and released the app on Android instead. I didn’t expect this kind of experience. If the high volume of support tickets is causing delays, it seems like something needs to be improved on Apple’s support side. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can get this unblocked?

issue with my Apple Developer Program membership
Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my Apple Developer Program membership and App Store Connect access. My Apple Developer Program membership appears to be active. I received confirmation from Apple that the membership was approved and that the payment was successfully processed. However, when I try to sign in to App Store Connect with the same Apple Account, after completing two-factor authentication, I still get this message: “To access App Store Connect, you must be an individual or team member in the Apple Developer Program, or invited by an individual to access their content in App Store Connect.” It has already been more than 48 hours since the payment and activation, but App Store Connect still does not recognize my account. I contacted Apple Developer Support several times, but I still haven’t received a clear response or solution. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there an additional activation step, account linking issue, or App Store Connect setup step that I might be missing? I would really appreciate any advice from the community. Thank you.

Account Migration Stuck: Multiple follow-ups, no response
Account Migration Stuck — Case 102862706949 — Multiple follow-ups, no response Hello Apple Developer Support, Requesting escalation on a long-pending Individual-to-Organization migration. Timeline: April 7, 2026: Migration form submitted April 15, 2026: I called Apple Developer Support to request status update. The representative committed that the case team would respond within 2 business days. April 17, 2026: Aline from Developer Support responded with the migration requirements (as committed during the April 15 call). I replied the same day with all 5 verification requirements confirmed. April 22, 2026: Sent a follow-up email on the same case thread asking for status update. No response received. April 27, 2026 (today): 10 days since my April 17 reply, 5 days since my April 22 follow-up, 20 days since original submission. Case ID: 102862706949 All migration requirements have been provided and confirmed in the case (2FA enabled, organization website publicly available, D-U-N-S number active, no paid apps or in-app purchases distributed yet). This delay is now blocking our iOS App Store submission. Our production-ready build is waiting. Has anyone experienced a similar situation in 2026 with Individual-to-Organization migration delays despite multiple follow-ups? Any guidance on the appropriate escalation path would be appreciated. Apple Support team — if this thread is monitored, kindly review and escalate to the appropriate team for resolution. Thank you.

No Response to App Review Appeal After 2 Months – Requesting Urgent Assistance
Hello, I'm hoping someone from Apple or the community can help me get some clarity on my situation. Two months ago, my app was rejected by App Review, and I immediately filed a formal appeal. Since then, I have received absolutely no response — not an acknowledgment, not a status update, nothing. In the meantime, I have also reached out to Apple Developer Support via email on multiple occasions. Again, no response of any kind. I understand that review and appeal timelines can vary, but two months of complete silence — across both the appeal process and direct support emails — makes it very difficult to know whether my case is even being reviewed or if something has fallen through the cracks. If anyone from the App Review team or Apple Developer Relations sees this, I would appreciate any guidance you can offer. And if any developers have been in a similar situation, I'd like to know what worked. Thank you.
