Unable to enroll in Apple Developer Program - Payment declined despite bank approval (France)
Hello everyone, I am unable to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. The payment (credit card) is accepted by my bank but systematically declined by Apple. Note: I am located in France. I have tried multiple times. The support team, via email, suggested I use the Apple Developer app. However, it is "not available in my region," so I have to go through the website. No other payment method is available: Apple Pay is greyed out, and there is nothing else. Support has not responded for weeks, despite my follow-ups. I am very frustrated as I need to launch my app quickly, and everything is ready on the Google side... Would you have any suggestions or solutions? Thank you so much, your responses are greatly appreciated! Mélissa

Urgent Assistance Needed: Enterprise Developer Account Review Stalled for 10 Weeks, Kindly Request Help! (Registration ID: FN5ZS6B562)
I kindly request your assistance! The review process for the developer account I applied for on behalf of my organization has been stalled for a full 10 weeks, with no progress to date! How can I resolve this? My registration ID is FN5ZS6B562. On October 27, 2025, I received an email from the Apple Developer Support team requesting that I submit registration materials via https://developer.apple.com/contact/file-upload/. I completed the submission as required and received a confirmation email from the Apple Developer Relations team on October 30, acknowledging receipt of my documents and stating that they would proceed with the review as soon as possible. However, since then, the status of my organization's developer account has remained "Under Review," with no updates to this day. I have contacted Apple Support multiple times via phone and email but have yet to receive effective feedback or see any progress on the issue. Now, 73 days have passed—that's 10 full workweeks—far exceeding the normal review cycle. I sincerely hope the engineers of the Apple Developer team can see my plea for help and assist me! Thank you all so much in advance!

Trouble enrolling and reaching the dev team
I've been trying to enroll as a developer but keep running into an "unknown error". I've even tried having the dev team call me and sending an email through the support portal but keep getting the message that my request cannot be processed. Even calling apple support didn't work as they were unable to connect me with the dev team. Any idea on how to get this sorted? Thank you!!

Unable to login to my Apple Developer Account
Hello! I've been trying to login to my account for over a week now. All the time I am getting an error "Too many verification codes have been sent. Enter the last code you received or try again later.". I cannot contact developer support because that also requires login. There is zero help whatsoever. I don't know what to do anymore. Anyone experienced same issue? Last verification code I received was December 30. Since then my account is basically locked.

Apple Developer Enrollment Stuck — Paid Twice, Still Pending
Hello, I am writing this post because the Apple Developer Program enrollment process is clearly malfunctioning, and I have reached a point where this situation is unacceptable. First payment I initially purchased the Apple Developer Program on December 3rd, 2025 at 16:03 (Turkey time). The payment was fully completed, confirmed by my bank, and I received the official Apple Store receipt. • Order ID: W1557478965 • Amount: 1029 TRY • Status: Completed / Posted Despite this, my account continued to show: • “Purchase your membership” • Enrollment status: Pending • No access to App Store Connect After several days with no response from Apple Support and no activation, I assumed something had gone wrong on Apple’s side. Second payment Because I was completely blocked and received no reply from support or the forums, I made a second payment to rule out any payment failure. • Order ID: W1694587309 • Amount: 1029 TRY • Status: Completed / Posted Current situation At this point: • Two separate payments • Two unique Apple Store order IDs • Zero activation • Zero response from Apple Support • Enrollment still Pending • App Store Connect still inaccessible Support case details: • Apple Support Case ID: 102769533427 • Multiple follow-ups sent • No reply • No action taken This is no longer a delay — this is a system-level failure. I have paid twice for a single Developer Program membership and received nothing in return: no activation, no explanation, and no support. I am formally requesting manual intervention by Apple staff to: 1. Immediately activate my Apple Developer Program membership 2. Investigate and resolve the duplicate payment (refund or clarification) 3. Explain why a paid enrollment can remain blocked with no support response If this forum is monitored by Apple employees, this issue requires urgent escalation. This situation should not happen in a paid developer program. Thank you.

Unable to Renew
Hello Somehow I let my Developer Account lapse - and now our App has been removed. I cannot find the renewal area in the Developer portal - there is an "Enrol Today" button, but when I select this - I get an error screen "Sorry, you can't enrol at this time - Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership." I have no idea how to proceed! Please help Apple! Nick

Apple Developer Organization Enrollment (US LLC) — What does Apple usually request at final verification?
Hi, I’m currently migrating an Apple Developer account from Individual to Organization (US LLC). Apple says the enrollment is under review and they’re verifying authority to sign legal agreements. From your experience, what does Apple usually ask for at this stage — EIN, Articles, DBA, or do they usually just approve it?

Developer Account - Pending After Payment
Hello, I’m looking for guidance from an Apple Developer moderator or admin. I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program using my personal Apple ID and completed the enrollment process, including payment of the £79 membership fee (UK). The payment was successful. However, my membership status has remained “Pending” Since 6th Jan when it said it can take up to 48hrs, I’m still unable to access App Store Connect. I’ve already submitted a request through the Developer Program → Enrollment → Account & Membership contact form, but I haven’t yet received a response. Could someone please advise if this has happened to them / how long it can take? Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Developer Renewal Delays!
I just tried to renew my APP, and it confirmed via email that it is renewed. But, also says that it needs to be reviewed. Seems like alot of people are having this issue. I have a pilot study on Monday which requires users to use the app, so I placed an expedited review request, and the system is saying I don't have an APP in the review stage. App is no longer on the App Store. Please advise!

What to do without response from Apple Developer Support
Hello, i had in 2023 active apple developer license and i created alpha version of my app, when test was concluded i didnt renew my subscription because i started to create my company. Fast forwarding 2 years i have company now and company has now apple developer license, i wanted to create app identifier and i found out that its taken and then i realized i left that app id on my personal account. So because of that i cannot create app id on company account. I contacted apple developer support on tuesday and didnt get any answer back. I Thought i did wrong topic, so i made another on wednesday and still nothing, replied to the 2nd case and nothing. I was simply asking to either transfer the app id to company account or remove it, so i can create it again on company account. Can someone tell me what i can do next to resolve it? I dont want to pay $100 just to remove app identifier. Application on my personal profile was never in AppStore, it only reached TestFlight. Case IDs: 102795542798 , 102795563781

Developer Program enrollment still pending after payment
Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on Tuesday evening, November 4th, 2025. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership”. It’s now been several days, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information. I already contacted Apple Support by email, but I’d like to know if other developers have experienced the same situation and how long it took before their account was activated. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback! — Martin

Developer Account enrollement charged me twice
Hello developers and the support teeam, I have tried to enroll my apple developer account, but got charged twice. Firstly, I tried it with the developers iOS app and paid the fee with Apple Pay on my phone. I haven't received any approval/activation/confirmation email. After that I saw on my phone this message: enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available. Then I looked on the website for the enrollement and it said that I should pay again. So I did and now I got charged twice on my card and there is still the same message. Does anyone have the same experience? How do I get a refund? I have already created a ticket, but no answer yet...

Trying to enroll, getting an error
My apple account region was set to US. I am not in US and don't have an American phone number. When I first tried to enroll with non-American number and Region set to US, I got an error. I have changed my region after that and when I am trying to change the details, I am landing on "Select your entity type." page and not on the page where I have to input my details. Contacted support and no answer. Can anyone advise what to do?
