Can't enroll in developer program
So I've been trying for almost two months to enroll in the developer program and have opened support tickets but have gotten nowhere. The first time I tried, my payment went through but was then reversed by Apple and taken back and my enrollment didn't go through. I called support and they said to try a different card, so I did. The same thing happened where it went through and then Apple took it back a few days later (I called both banks and they confirmed that the reversal was initiated by Apple). All attempts since then (including with a third card) will result in being redirected to a page with "Your payment authorization failed on card •••****. Please verify your information and try again, or try another payment method."Information is multiple times checked, and includes the card saved on the Apple ID which had gone through the first time, and I bought a small app in the app store to confirm that card was still working with Apple (it was). The only thing I haven't been able to do is enroll in the development program. When I call support they tell me to try the same things I've already tried multiple times and also say they aren't aware of any problems like this and say they haven't had any problems with developer enrollment payment processing. Has anyone else experienced this and been prevented from enrolling? Anyone know a way to get through and enroll?

Pending Paid Apps Agreement - going nuts
We dont have any paid apps we only push a free app in the app-store. a few times a year Apple then comes out with 'new agreements' and then it stops my developers from being able to push versions until we have 'accepted the new agreements' - and that can only be by a certain user that has to go in and click 'yes' on something that we never read anyways right. And nomatter what it keeps having this Paid Apps that i need to do something on - and then its pending and then .... who knows. It is super annoying as i dont carry iphone and i dont use macbooks and my 2 factor verification unit ( which has to be apple ofcourse....) isnt always on me especially here during lockdowns & isolation etc which caused a huge headache. My question : can i just be free of having to agreeing to any paid apps here and get that out of the loop totally because you pause our commits by having me to sign in and click yes on some odd thing your lawyers changed could you consider just sending an OTP to a phonenumber and not trying to force an apple device us on us managers ? my developers have macbooks etc its fine but they cant accept these contracts. and i dont need this paid apps thing why cant we just have this option of not dealing with it until we have a paid app in the store - it doesnt make sense.

Notice of Termination
Hello, recently I've received such notice of termination. Right after they've reviewed and approved my app to the store. Pursuant to Section 3.2(f) of the ADP Agreement, you agreed that you would not “commit any act intended to interfere with the Apple Software or Services, the intent of this Agreement, or Apple’s business practices including, but not limited to, taking actions that may hinder the performance or intended use of the App Store, Custom App Distribution, or the Program.” Apple has good reason to believe that you violated this Section due to documented indications of fraudulent conduct associated with your account. Have you encountered this, and did you manage to get an answer or resolve the situation? I've already appealed and am waiting for a review.

Membership expired, no where to renew it?
Hi, my apple developer membership expired as my payment method did not work, and now all my apps published have been removed from the store. I have tried going onto my account on the apple developer app, but there is no place to renew the app. All i get is the text "Renew your membership to continue accessing program benefits and services. Open the Apple Developer app on your iPhone or iPad, tap the Account tab, and sign in. Then tap Renew and follow the prompts. If you agreed to the Paid Applications Agreement, you'll need to agree to it again after renewal. You can view this agreement in the Agreements, Tax and Banking section of App Store Connect." Apple support is not providing any info, i have gone to the agreements and there is no new agreement to accept, so i need help in how to renew my membership urgently and have my apps relisted.

Error with duplicate Device
I'm new to iOS development, although I've been through some basic tutorials. I never went as far as publishing an app. I hope what I describe makes sense to someone who has gone through the process. I was tasked with updating our iOS app as the previous developer is no longer with the company I was invited to the team by the admin so I have access to all devices/profiles/certificates in the dev portal. The problem: In the step of linking the UDID to this profile, an error occurs, this device identifier has been duplicated. Not sure how this is possible if I can't add one with the same UDID? So I disabled the two duplicates, thinking this would allow me to add the new entry. No, same error. And now, I can't even reactivate ANY of the other two that I previously deactivated because there is already a device with the same UDID in the list!

Single member LLC W9 form
I converted my individual dev account to organization (as a single member LLC). Now I was working on filling out the W9 form and according to the current W9 guidelines I need to put my own name in the first row of the form: Name (as shown on your income tax return) However in the appstoreconnect UI this name is non-changeable and defaulted to my LLC name. How should I go about it?

What the heck is going on in here?
Here are a series of events: (ever happened with you?) 1. ~In October, I enroll for the Apple Developer program. 2. ~In November end, my enrollment was approved. 3. ~In December, I noticed I was not able to pay for the apple developer account post approval. The UI showed no ways to pay except cards. (Tried all my Irish bank cards, my India bank cards - none worked. Nor was any option to pay via Apple Pay - even if the payment doc says you can do that) 4. After a series of talks (calls+mails) with the Apple Developer Support teams, it was concluded I should keep my country setting to India, which I did. 5. Things started to fall in place, I was able to add funds using my Net-Banking to my Apple ID (as asked my the support reps in one of the calls) 6. One day, I had a call with the support team - the conclusion of that day was : I must enter my banking details correctly, add funds to my Apple ID and pay for the enrollment. 7. After being able to add funds to my Apple ID, I see the state on my developer account has changed again - It took me back to the "Enroll Now" option, I applied again and just like always the representative approved the request in minutes this times - just like how it was done 2-3 times previously as the support teams were helping me solve the issue. **8. ** After exactly 24 hours later, I get on call with the same support staff - Letting her know the funds are added to my Apple ID and need her help to use those funds and get through the payment. 9 Here is what happened instead - She asked if my Apple ID was used to enroll from another device, I said no, then she says it seems like your ID is used to enroll from another Apple device. Note- that all of this was happening when she had approved my new request a few minutes back based on the troubleshooting we did 24 hours ago. But now, I am instead banned from enrolling to the platform and the funds are stuck in my Apple ID and I have nothing to do with them. What I don't understand is: How is that for the same Apple ID, the state of user is different even if the user has multiple devices? (2 in my case phone and MacBook Air) , ideally the Developer app must show the same state isn't it? How is that even if the developer documentation says, that the given payment modes are available they were never visible in the first place? On what grounds was I banned from re-applying when the support staffs are aware of the case in detail? - no proof was given to me nor more understanding was taken.

Developer Account Migration from Individual to Organization
Hi all, I am a South African developer trying to publish my app. After submitting my app I was told that the type of app I submitted required that I have an organization account instead of an individual account. Obviously in order to have an organization account you have to be a registered legal entity. So I went and registered a PTY LTD. I've supplied my business certificate as well as anything else that Apple have asked from me, and if I could not supply what was asked I've given sufficient reasons why. Eg. I was asked to send through a Certificate of Commencement of Business, however in South Africa those are no longer needed or issued by our government - only a Business Registration Certificate. I've even used this to create a bank account for the company. This has been law since 2008, so it could hardly be news to Apple. My latest email I've received directs me to the developer support contact page and I am told to "call them". However, I'm assuming due to the region I am in there is no number listed and no callback option. I called the general support line and they just said "open another email ticket". I have no idea where to go now. It takes 2-4 days to get a response over email, even if I reply literally immediately when I receive an email from them. And its always a copy-paste message with no human to tell me what is actually going on. Does anyone know how I can speak to a real human about my application? This is starting to impact my income and productivity.

Is it possible to distribute without signing in?
I am in the following predicament: I am enrolled as a dev in apple developer (individual) A company I consult is enrolled as an orgnanisation. They have added me to their team. I built (archived) the app with the right provisioning profile and correct distribution certificate (which I've obtained from them), and now I distribute it to the store. However, I'm seeing following things: xcode complains that there's no account connected to the team (in distribute window) says there's no provisioning profile for my team but I know there is otherwise I couldn't select it in the build phase. I know it's apple distribution profile My questions are: Is it even possible for me to build locally and distributing without signing in as them? Why don't I see on my apple dev profile, in my memberships, and not membership to their team as well? I've triple-ensured that I have right certificates and profiles locally. Thanks a 1000!
