How do I cancel my developer account
I have my primary apple account associated with email A and I created a separate email B for my app. I then created an apple developer account using email B and paid for the $99 subscription. Note that I enrolled in the developer program through the Apple Developer App on my phone which is signed into account A. Two months ago, I did not want my subscription to renew, so I tried visiting this link to can cancel it https://developer.apple.com/account#MembershipDetailsCard Unintuitively, this does not let me modify my membership participation, only contact details. I then tried canceling the subscriptions here by checking my subscriptions for both account A and account B https://account.apple.com/account/manage/section/subscriptions Unintuitively, I saw the developer subscription for the account associated with email A, not B, so I canceled it there. Today, I see the subscription as inactive and neither account A or B have an active developer subscription. As an added measure, I removed all saved billing information from account B so any subscription associated with that account shouldn't be able to charge me. Yesterday I received an email and credit card statement saying I was charged $99 for renewal. This seems to be a serious privacy and security issue given a. A nonexisting subscription on account B charged a credit card that account B should not have access to b. There is no indication whatsoever that account A and B are linked on the apple account page. If they are in fact linked since I enrolled in the developer program on a phone belonging to account A, it ought to be clearly shown on account A that this is the case since that is what I'm being billed for. c. What is the source of truth for apple subscriptions? Clearly not the subscriptions page owned by account A or account B in this case. I expect a full refund for this

Developer Program enrollment not completing - Apple Support unresponsive
Hi everyone, Before posting this, I spent a lot of time reading through existing threads here, and it's becoming clear that I'm far from alone. A large number of developers seem to be stuck on essentially the same issue: the Apple Developer Program enrollment process simply isn't working, and Apple Support is either unresponsive or unable to resolve it. Here's my situation: I completed every step of the enrollment process correctly. When asked, I submitted my ID for verification and then submitted it again upon a second request. All my information has been verified, and I've received invoices confirming payment. I was told the process would take up to 48 hours. It has now been 1 week with no progress. Strangely, I even received a shipment tracking link, which makes no sense to me in the context of a digital developer account enrollment. What I genuinely don't understand is this: how is it possible that so many people - myself included - are stuck in the exact same loop, with no response from Apple Support, no working solution shared in the forums, and yet we're all being charged for a membership we can't actually access or use? I'm not trying to vent for the sake of it. I'd really appreciate it if: Anyone from Apple could clarify what's going on with enrollment processing right now. Anyone who managed to resolve this could share what actually worked for them (specific contact channels, escalation paths, anything). If there's a known issue on Apple's side, even an acknowledgment would go a long way. Right now it feels like we've paid for a service that simply doesn't deliver, with no way to reach anyone who can help. Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this. Best regards

ChatGPT in Xcode 26 not recognizing Plus subscription
Hi all, Has anyone else run into this issue in Xcode 26? I’m logged into my paid ChatGPT Plus account, but the Xcode integration doesn’t seem to recognize the subscription. After a short period of use, I get the following error: “Over daily limit. ChatGPT in Xcode will be unavailable for up to 24 hours. For higher limits, sign in with a paid ChatGPT account.” Since I’m already signed in with a paid account, this looks like either a bug or a limitation specific to Xcode. Is this expected behavior, or has anyone found a workaround to make Xcode properly recognize Plus accounts? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Enrollment stuck for 2 months
Hi all. I have been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for around 2 months. I have made couple of payments and received order confirmation email saying order will be processed within 2 business days. I have received no further emails I can find. Can anyone please advice me how I can check the status of my enrollment or if something more is needed for my order to be processed. Many thanks.

xcodebuild test (CLI) does not sync .storekit to storekitd on iOS 26.5 — SKTestSession unusable in CI
On iOS 26.5 simulator runtime, running UI tests via xcodebuild test from the command line does not push the scheme's StoreKitConfigurationFileReference to the destination simulator's storekitd AppGroup Octane container. As a consequence, SKTestSession(configurationFileNamed:) either silently falls through to the production App Store (surfacing a "Sign in to Apple Account" SpringBoard alert during paywall tests), or throws SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "Error saving configuration file" if you call any SKTestSession instance method. The same project, same scheme, same .storekit file works correctly when launched via Xcode IDE (Cmd+R / Cmd+U) — which uses DVTDevice.handleStoreKitConfigurationSyncForBundleID:configurationFilePath: via an internal IDELaunchSession XPC path that the public xcodebuild CLI does not invoke. This regression makes StoreKit Test unusable in CI for any project using xcodebuild test or xcodebuild test-without-building against an iOS 26.5 simulator. Environment macOS: 26.x Xcode: 26.4.1 (25E253) iOS Simulator runtime affected: 26.5 iOS Simulator runtime that does not exhibit the bug: 26.1 Test target: XCTest UI tests Test plan: *.xctestplan with "storeKitConfiguration": "MyApp.storekit" in defaultOptions Affected scheme actions: Test (CLI) Not affected: Run, Test (Xcode IDE) Steps to Reproduce Create a SwiftUI iOS app com.example.MyApp. Add a MyApp.storekit with one auto-renewable subscription. Add a UI test target. In the xctestplan: defaultOptions.storeKitConfiguration = "MyApp.storekit". In the UI test base case: private var storeKitSession: SKTestSession? override func setUpWithError() throws { storeKitSession = try SKTestSession(configurationFileNamed: "MyApp") app.launch() } Boot a fresh iOS 26.5 simulator. Run via CLI: xcodebuild test \ -project MyApp.xcodeproj \ -scheme MyApp \ -testPlan MyAppUITests \ -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17 Pro" In the test, trigger paywall and call Product.purchase(). Expected Product.purchase() presents the StoreKit Test sheet labeled "[Environment] Xcode". Same behavior as Xcode IDE Cmd+U. Actual Production App Store flow triggers. SpringBoard alert "Sign in to Apple Account" appears. Tests waiting on the "Xcode"-labeled sheet fail with Element does not exist. Evidence The simulator's ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/<UDID>/data/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/<storekit-AGID>/Documents/Persistence/Octane/com.example.MyApp/Configuration.storekit: Present (≈100 KB) when launched via Xcode IDE. Missing when launched via xcodebuild test CLI on the same simulator UDID. Workarounds Attempted (all fail on iOS 26.5) No-op XCTestCase "warmup" that calls XCUIApplication.launch() + sleep — does not trigger the sync because XCUIApplication.launch() routes through XCTRunner, not IDELaunchSession. Multi-destination xcodebuild test with -parallelize-tests-among-destinations. Manually cp-ing the .storekit file into the AppGroup Octane container — storekitd only loads via the XPC channel. launchctl kickstart -k system/com.apple.storekitd — wipes in-memory state, does not pick up disk file. Only working workaround: open project in Xcode IDE, Cmd+R, wait ~20–30 sec, Cmd+., then Cmd+U. Not viable for CI. Related Open Feedback FB22237318 — SKTestSession instance methods (clearTransactions(), failTransactionsEnabled = true) throw SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "Error saving configuration file". Discussion thread: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/808030 The iOS 26.5 Release Notes (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-26_5-release-notes) under StoreKit Test list this issue as resolved in 26.5: "Fixed: SKTestSession may fail to save its configuration file when invoked outside of an Xcode debug session." However, on the public iOS 26.5 simulator runtime the behavior is unchanged — SKTestSession still hits Code=3 on any mutation, and xcodebuild test from CLI still does not sync the .storekit configuration. The 26.5 fix either did not actually ship, or this report describes a distinct but related issue that the fix did not cover. Impact Any CI/CD pipeline running UI tests for apps with StoreKit subscriptions is broken when targeting an iOS 26.5 simulator. Workarounds are either: Pin CI simulator runtime to iOS 26.1. Manually run the project in Xcode IDE before each test run (impossible headless). Has anyone found a CLI-friendly workaround? Or is there an undocumented xcodebuild flag / simctl command that can trigger the same DVTDevice sync from outside the IDE?

StoreKit testing not working on iOS26.5 simulator
Hi, I'm trying to run our StoreKit unit tests with Xcode26.5 on an iOS26.5 simulator. Host computer has macOS26.5. All tests are failing and in the console I see logs such as [SKTestSession] Error saving configuration file: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" [SKTestSession] Error deleting all transactions: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" [SKTestSession] Error clearing overrides: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" [SKTestSession] Error setting value to 1 for identifier 2 for jp.unext.mediaplayer: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" And the simulator asks me to provide my AppleID. Tests have been broken since at least 26.4 The release notes claims that it has been fixed but not for me. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-26_5-release-notes#StoreKit-Testing-in-Xcode Does anyone else have the same issue? Reported FB22774836 just in case.

Non-Consumable IAP stuck in ‘Developer Action Required’ – cannot link to version page
My Non-Consumable IAP was rejected with Guideline 3.1.1 and now has status ‘Developer Action Required’. The problem: On the version page in App Store Connect, the ‘In-App Purchases and Subscriptions’ section does not appear at the bottom. I cannot link the IAP to a new version submission. Every time I submit a new binary, Apple approves the app version but rejects the IAP afterward — even though I have no way to attach it to the version in the first place. This seems to be a circular issue: the IAP doesn’t appear on the version page because of its current status, but the only way to fix the status is to submit it with a new version. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Any help appreciated!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Xcode 26 is insanely slow
Hey there Just updated to Xcode 26 on mac OS Sequoia (MBP M1 Max 32GB, 2021, so you know, still pretty decent and capable). Xcode is super slow on building, but also on editing. There is a lag between what I type and what is displayed. Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there something I should look into?

The callback is not triggered when the app is launched from a terminated state via the notification action
Platform and Version Platform: iOS iOS Version: 17.0+ Development Environment: .NET MAUI (C#, .NET 9) Network Layer: HttpClient with HttpClientHandler Description of the Problem We are facing an issue where HttpClientHandler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback is not being invoked when the app is in a terminated (kill) state. In normal app lifecycle states (foreground/background), the callback is triggered as expected and allows us to handle server certificate validation (e.g., for certificate pinning or custom validation logic). However, when the app is in a killed state and is relaunched due to a notification action, the callback does not execute. We would like to understand: Why ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback is not invoked in this scenario Whether this behavior is expected within iOS networking/runtime constraints Any recommended approach or workaround to ensure certificate validation still occurs when handling notification-triggered flows from a terminated state Steps to Reproduce Ensure the app is force-terminated (kill mode) Configure a push notification with category: "INVITE_CATEGORY" Include custom notification action buttons Tap one of the custom actions This triggers app launch and network call using HttpClient Expected Behavior ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback should be invoked during the network request initiated after tapping the notification action, allowing custom certificate validation.

Parallax Previewer v2 crashes in macOS 26.4.1, Tahoe.
I can run v1 of Parallax Previewer just fine, but v2 pops up an error on open. In console I can see a crash log that states that CoreRe.framework is looking for _FigSTSCreate inside the system's MediaToolbox.framework. I guess Tahoe doesn't have that. Is there a new version coming that works on Tahoe? or a workaround? I couldn't find an existing discussion about this. thanks.

"Clean Build Folder…" vs "Clean Build Folder Immediately"?
Xcode 26 (and previous versions) have these options: "Clean Build Folder…" vs "Clean Build Folder Immediately" (if you hold the option key). I can't tell how they're different. The ellipsis traditionally means you're going to get a dialog you have to address before the command will execute, but that doesn’t happen. Both seem to just delete files in the build folder.

Apple Developer Program Payment Successful but Enrollment Still Pending After 9 Days
Title: Apple Developer Program Payment Successful but Enrollment Still Pending After 9 Days Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue with my Apple Developer Program enrollment and would really appreciate guidance from the community. I purchased the Apple Developer Program on 11 May 2026 and the payment of ₹8700 INR was successfully deducted from my account. The subscription is visible in my Apple ID subscriptions and shows active renewal until May 2027. However, my developer account still shows: “Complete your purchase” / pending enrollment. It has now been 9 days without activation. During this time I have: Created 5 support tickets Sent multiple emails to Apple Developer Support Requested callbacks several times Waited on support calls for long periods Shared payment proof, subscription screenshots, and all requested details A support representative named Connor from Developer Support replied stating that they were unable to confirm any payment attempts from my Apple Account and requested: detailed issue description screenshots error messages steps already taken I responded with all requested information, including screenshots showing: successful payment deduction active Apple subscription until 2027 pending developer enrollment screen The confusing part is that: Apple subscription/billing side confirms the subscription exists payment was successfully deducted subscription is active until 2027 But Developer Support still says they cannot see the payment on their side. After sending all proofs and requested information, I stopped receiving replies and the issue still remains unresolved. At this point I feel stuck between billing support and developer support with no clear resolution path. Has anyone experienced something similar? How long did it take to resolve? Is there any proper escalation path for Apple Developer enrollment/payment verification issues? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Blocked
I've been unable to complete my Apple Developer Program enrollment for several months now. The process fails with the generic error: "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." I've contacted Developer Support multiple times, but have either received no response or only boilerplate replies that restate the error without any explanation. No specific reason for the block has ever been provided. Enrollment ID: 3FUHF37838

Drag on a Canvas with XCUICoordinate.press(...)
I am trying to create a test case in XCTest using the UI Test target. I have a use case where I use a SwiftUI Canvas to draw a network graph; and the user can drag the graph on the Canvas. After the drag, the user may click on a node. The application presents a popup with the information about the network node clicked. SwiftUI provides the information required for the application to translate the location of the tap into the original location prior to the drag; and so the logic behind the popup can determine which node the network graph was tapped by the user. It appears that the distance of the drag operation performed does not match distance that the image actually moved. The drag distance is always larger than the actual distance dragged. I can observe this during the test execution. The arrow starts at the correct spot but then goes further than the object being dragged. I also observe this when I am driving the application. Is there some standard and supported way to determine the distance that the image on the screen was moved given a specific distance of the "thenDragTo:" coordinate?

ScribeMe’s removal from App Store
My Apple Developer account was recently terminated, which resulted in the removal of ScribeMe from the App Store without further notice. This is not just about an app disappearing from a store. Thousands of blind and visually impaired users rely on ScribeMe every day for independence, education, and daily life. ScribeMe helps users understand photos, documents, presentations, charts, diagrams, unfamiliar environments, and more through AI-powered accessibility tools. For many users, it is not a convenience, it is a necessity. When accessibility apps are suddenly removed, the impact goes far beyond business. We are effectively taking away tools that help blind people study independently, access visual information, and participate more equally in education and society. Many users depended on this app daily, and its sudden removal has left people without an important accessibility tool they relied on. We respectfully ask for someone from Apple to manually review the situation and carefully examine why the account termination occurred. We made every effort to follow all App Store guidelines, and we are fully willing to cooperate with Apple and quickly fix or address any issue that may have caused this situation. Accessibility-focused apps deserve human review and consideration because of the real impact they have on people’s lives. Accessibility is not a luxury, it is a necessity. We hope accessibility remains at the center of these decisions.

M4 Mac Mini: Xcode generates private keys with wrong label - codesigning impossible
M4 Mac Mini: Xcode generates private keys with wrong label - codesigning impossible Background This is a follow up to my November 2024 thread "Keychain issues after installing backup on new Mac" which was closed because I had a temporary workaround. That workaround using my wife's MacBook Air for signing is not sustainable. I used AI assistance to determine the root cause. My DTS case 102877839447 is open but has not yet been forwarded to a DTS engineer. Environment Mac Mini M4, macOS 15.4.1 (Build 25E253) Xcode 26.4.1 (17E202) Team ID: Q23726668V (Computerade Products) Working comparison machine: MacBook Air, macOS 15.3 Precise Bug — Reproducible Every Time Every time Xcode generates a new certificate and key pair on my Mac Mini: Certificate: Apple Development: Michael Birch (9KD5TCGGHG) ✅ Private key: Apple Development: Michael Birch (Computerade Products) ❌ The key uses the organization name instead of the certificate identifier. They never pair as a valid codesigning identity. security find-identity -v -p codesigning always returns 0 valid identities. Cryptographic Evidence The internal application labels confirm the keys are cryptographically unrelated to their certificates: Key internal application label: 53C26EB056997276B5E938258D00665ACABD1F0F Certificate public key hash: 57cd1af4a9162f26b1a6d750e05a63a2166b75ff These do not match ❌ Confirmed Eliminated As Causes Keychain search list corruption — found and fixed Partition list — set correctly Access control — set to allow all applications Full Disk Access — granted to Xcode Xcode caches and preferences — completely cleared Login keychain — completely reset Orphaned certificates and keys — all removed SIP enabled, system fully up to date Valid P12 Import Also Fails A p12 exported from the working MacBook Air and cryptographically verified as a matched pair also fails on the Mac Mini: security import returns MAC verification failed Keychain Access import returns OSStatus -2 Importing certificate and key separately as PEM files succeeds but they are not recognized as a valid identity pair despite matching application labels A3F3F193B7896DA9055353F59AB450778CB09AE7 Question Is there a known issue with M4 Mac Mini keychain infrastructure where private keys are generated with incorrect internal application labels? Is there a lower level diagnostic or fix beyond what the security command provides? The problem is specific to my Mac Mini M4 and persisted thru more than a year of Mac OS and xCode updates.

Locked Out of Developer Account
I am locked out of my developer account, and was told by Apple Support that I cant reset or unlock it because its not a "real Apple ID", and I just created the login on the Apple Developer page last week, so I cannot access my TestFlights and things in there, and am stuck until I can get back in. When I try and login to Apple Developer, I get an error that says "Check the account information and try again". Then I try and reset, it tells me that there’s an issue with the account, and bounces be between account.apple.com (which doesnt let me log in) and Apple Developer (which doesnt let me log in). Apple Support cant help me, and Apple Developer doesnt have a help line, so they asked me to post here.

Unable to Create Apple Account for Developer Organization Enrollment (‘Your account cannot be created at this time’)
Hi! I'm a first-time app founder trying to enroll my business in the Apple Developer Program as an Organization. I already have a personal Apple ID, so I'm trying to create a separate, brand new Apple Account using my business email for the enrollment. Every time I complete the account creation form and go through the verification code step, I get the error: 'Your account cannot be created at this time.' Things I've already tried: Personal cell phone number for verification A Google Voice number for verification Different browsers The Apple Developer app Different WiFi networks I only have one iPhone and one cell number, both already tied to my personal Apple ID. My D&B DUNS number is confirmed, the only blocker is creating this new Apple Account. Is there a known solution for this? It seems like it must be a common situation for small business owners who use one device for both personal and business. Any help appreciated!

Discussion thread: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/808030 The iOS 26.5 Release Notes (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-26_5-release-notes) under StoreKit Test list this issue as resolved in 26.5: "Fixed: SKTestSession may fail to save its configuration file when invoked outside of an Xcode debug session." However, on the public iOS 26.5 simulator runtime the behavior is unchanged — SKTestSession still hits Code=3 on any mutation, and xcodebuild test from CLI still does not sync the .storekit configuration. The 26.5 fix either did not actually ship, or this report describes a distinct but related issue that the fix did not cover. Impact Any CI/CD pipeline running UI tests for apps with StoreKit subscriptions is broken when targeting an iOS 26.5 simulator. Workarounds are either: Pin CI simulator runtime to iOS 26.1. Manually run the project in Xcode IDE before each test run (impossible headless). Has anyone found a CLI-friendly workaround? Or is there an undocumented xcodebuild flag / simctl command that can trigger the same DVTDevice sync from outside the IDE?

StoreKit testing not working on iOS26.5 simulator
Hi, I'm trying to run our StoreKit unit tests with Xcode26.5 on an iOS26.5 simulator. Host computer has macOS26.5. All tests are failing and in the console I see logs such as [SKTestSession] Error saving configuration file: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" [SKTestSession] Error deleting all transactions: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" [SKTestSession] Error clearing overrides: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" [SKTestSession] Error setting value to 1 for identifier 2 for jp.unext.mediaplayer: Error Domain=SKInternalErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" And the simulator asks me to provide my AppleID. Tests have been broken since at least 26.4 The release notes claims that it has been fixed but not for me. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-26_5-release-notes#StoreKit-Testing-in-Xcode Does anyone else have the same issue? Reported FB22774836 just in case.

Non-Consumable IAP stuck in ‘Developer Action Required’ – cannot link to version page
My Non-Consumable IAP was rejected with Guideline 3.1.1 and now has status ‘Developer Action Required’. The problem: On the version page in App Store Connect, the ‘In-App Purchases and Subscriptions’ section does not appear at the bottom. I cannot link the IAP to a new version submission. Every time I submit a new binary, Apple approves the app version but rejects the IAP afterward — even though I have no way to attach it to the version in the first place. This seems to be a circular issue: the IAP doesn’t appear on the version page because of its current status, but the only way to fix the status is to submit it with a new version. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Any help appreciated!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Xcode 26 is insanely slow
Hey there Just updated to Xcode 26 on mac OS Sequoia (MBP M1 Max 32GB, 2021, so you know, still pretty decent and capable). Xcode is super slow on building, but also on editing. There is a lag between what I type and what is displayed. Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there something I should look into?

The callback is not triggered when the app is launched from a terminated state via the notification action
Platform and Version Platform: iOS iOS Version: 17.0+ Development Environment: .NET MAUI (C#, .NET 9) Network Layer: HttpClient with HttpClientHandler Description of the Problem We are facing an issue where HttpClientHandler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback is not being invoked when the app is in a terminated (kill) state. In normal app lifecycle states (foreground/background), the callback is triggered as expected and allows us to handle server certificate validation (e.g., for certificate pinning or custom validation logic). However, when the app is in a killed state and is relaunched due to a notification action, the callback does not execute. We would like to understand: Why ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback is not invoked in this scenario Whether this behavior is expected within iOS networking/runtime constraints Any recommended approach or workaround to ensure certificate validation still occurs when handling notification-triggered flows from a terminated state Steps to Reproduce Ensure the app is force-terminated (kill mode) Configure a push notification with category: "INVITE_CATEGORY" Include custom notification action buttons Tap one of the custom actions This triggers app launch and network call using HttpClient Expected Behavior ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback should be invoked during the network request initiated after tapping the notification action, allowing custom certificate validation.

Parallax Previewer v2 crashes in macOS 26.4.1, Tahoe.
I can run v1 of Parallax Previewer just fine, but v2 pops up an error on open. In console I can see a crash log that states that CoreRe.framework is looking for _FigSTSCreate inside the system's MediaToolbox.framework. I guess Tahoe doesn't have that. Is there a new version coming that works on Tahoe? or a workaround? I couldn't find an existing discussion about this. thanks.

"Clean Build Folder…" vs "Clean Build Folder Immediately"?
Xcode 26 (and previous versions) have these options: "Clean Build Folder…" vs "Clean Build Folder Immediately" (if you hold the option key). I can't tell how they're different. The ellipsis traditionally means you're going to get a dialog you have to address before the command will execute, but that doesn’t happen. Both seem to just delete files in the build folder.

Apple Developer Program Payment Successful but Enrollment Still Pending After 9 Days
Title: Apple Developer Program Payment Successful but Enrollment Still Pending After 9 Days Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue with my Apple Developer Program enrollment and would really appreciate guidance from the community. I purchased the Apple Developer Program on 11 May 2026 and the payment of ₹8700 INR was successfully deducted from my account. The subscription is visible in my Apple ID subscriptions and shows active renewal until May 2027. However, my developer account still shows: “Complete your purchase” / pending enrollment. It has now been 9 days without activation. During this time I have: Created 5 support tickets Sent multiple emails to Apple Developer Support Requested callbacks several times Waited on support calls for long periods Shared payment proof, subscription screenshots, and all requested details A support representative named Connor from Developer Support replied stating that they were unable to confirm any payment attempts from my Apple Account and requested: detailed issue description screenshots error messages steps already taken I responded with all requested information, including screenshots showing: successful payment deduction active Apple subscription until 2027 pending developer enrollment screen The confusing part is that: Apple subscription/billing side confirms the subscription exists payment was successfully deducted subscription is active until 2027 But Developer Support still says they cannot see the payment on their side. After sending all proofs and requested information, I stopped receiving replies and the issue still remains unresolved. At this point I feel stuck between billing support and developer support with no clear resolution path. Has anyone experienced something similar? How long did it take to resolve? Is there any proper escalation path for Apple Developer enrollment/payment verification issues? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Blocked
I've been unable to complete my Apple Developer Program enrollment for several months now. The process fails with the generic error: "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." I've contacted Developer Support multiple times, but have either received no response or only boilerplate replies that restate the error without any explanation. No specific reason for the block has ever been provided. Enrollment ID: 3FUHF37838

Drag on a Canvas with XCUICoordinate.press(...)
I am trying to create a test case in XCTest using the UI Test target. I have a use case where I use a SwiftUI Canvas to draw a network graph; and the user can drag the graph on the Canvas. After the drag, the user may click on a node. The application presents a popup with the information about the network node clicked. SwiftUI provides the information required for the application to translate the location of the tap into the original location prior to the drag; and so the logic behind the popup can determine which node the network graph was tapped by the user. It appears that the distance of the drag operation performed does not match distance that the image actually moved. The drag distance is always larger than the actual distance dragged. I can observe this during the test execution. The arrow starts at the correct spot but then goes further than the object being dragged. I also observe this when I am driving the application. Is there some standard and supported way to determine the distance that the image on the screen was moved given a specific distance of the "thenDragTo:" coordinate?

ScribeMe’s removal from App Store
My Apple Developer account was recently terminated, which resulted in the removal of ScribeMe from the App Store without further notice. This is not just about an app disappearing from a store. Thousands of blind and visually impaired users rely on ScribeMe every day for independence, education, and daily life. ScribeMe helps users understand photos, documents, presentations, charts, diagrams, unfamiliar environments, and more through AI-powered accessibility tools. For many users, it is not a convenience, it is a necessity. When accessibility apps are suddenly removed, the impact goes far beyond business. We are effectively taking away tools that help blind people study independently, access visual information, and participate more equally in education and society. Many users depended on this app daily, and its sudden removal has left people without an important accessibility tool they relied on. We respectfully ask for someone from Apple to manually review the situation and carefully examine why the account termination occurred. We made every effort to follow all App Store guidelines, and we are fully willing to cooperate with Apple and quickly fix or address any issue that may have caused this situation. Accessibility-focused apps deserve human review and consideration because of the real impact they have on people’s lives. Accessibility is not a luxury, it is a necessity. We hope accessibility remains at the center of these decisions.

M4 Mac Mini: Xcode generates private keys with wrong label - codesigning impossible
M4 Mac Mini: Xcode generates private keys with wrong label - codesigning impossible Background This is a follow up to my November 2024 thread "Keychain issues after installing backup on new Mac" which was closed because I had a temporary workaround. That workaround using my wife's MacBook Air for signing is not sustainable. I used AI assistance to determine the root cause. My DTS case 102877839447 is open but has not yet been forwarded to a DTS engineer. Environment Mac Mini M4, macOS 15.4.1 (Build 25E253) Xcode 26.4.1 (17E202) Team ID: Q23726668V (Computerade Products) Working comparison machine: MacBook Air, macOS 15.3 Precise Bug — Reproducible Every Time Every time Xcode generates a new certificate and key pair on my Mac Mini: Certificate: Apple Development: Michael Birch (9KD5TCGGHG) ✅ Private key: Apple Development: Michael Birch (Computerade Products) ❌ The key uses the organization name instead of the certificate identifier. They never pair as a valid codesigning identity. security find-identity -v -p codesigning always returns 0 valid identities. Cryptographic Evidence The internal application labels confirm the keys are cryptographically unrelated to their certificates: Key internal application label: 53C26EB056997276B5E938258D00665ACABD1F0F Certificate public key hash: 57cd1af4a9162f26b1a6d750e05a63a2166b75ff These do not match ❌ Confirmed Eliminated As Causes Keychain search list corruption — found and fixed Partition list — set correctly Access control — set to allow all applications Full Disk Access — granted to Xcode Xcode caches and preferences — completely cleared Login keychain — completely reset Orphaned certificates and keys — all removed SIP enabled, system fully up to date Valid P12 Import Also Fails A p12 exported from the working MacBook Air and cryptographically verified as a matched pair also fails on the Mac Mini: security import returns MAC verification failed Keychain Access import returns OSStatus -2 Importing certificate and key separately as PEM files succeeds but they are not recognized as a valid identity pair despite matching application labels A3F3F193B7896DA9055353F59AB450778CB09AE7 Question Is there a known issue with M4 Mac Mini keychain infrastructure where private keys are generated with incorrect internal application labels? Is there a lower level diagnostic or fix beyond what the security command provides? The problem is specific to my Mac Mini M4 and persisted thru more than a year of Mac OS and xCode updates.

Locked Out of Developer Account
I am locked out of my developer account, and was told by Apple Support that I cant reset or unlock it because its not a "real Apple ID", and I just created the login on the Apple Developer page last week, so I cannot access my TestFlights and things in there, and am stuck until I can get back in. When I try and login to Apple Developer, I get an error that says "Check the account information and try again". Then I try and reset, it tells me that there’s an issue with the account, and bounces be between account.apple.com (which doesnt let me log in) and Apple Developer (which doesnt let me log in). Apple Support cant help me, and Apple Developer doesnt have a help line, so they asked me to post here.

Unable to Create Apple Account for Developer Organization Enrollment (‘Your account cannot be created at this time’)
Hi! I'm a first-time app founder trying to enroll my business in the Apple Developer Program as an Organization. I already have a personal Apple ID, so I'm trying to create a separate, brand new Apple Account using my business email for the enrollment. Every time I complete the account creation form and go through the verification code step, I get the error: 'Your account cannot be created at this time.' Things I've already tried: Personal cell phone number for verification A Google Voice number for verification Different browsers The Apple Developer app Different WiFi networks I only have one iPhone and one cell number, both already tied to my personal Apple ID. My D&B DUNS number is confirmed, the only blocker is creating this new Apple Account. Is there a known solution for this? It seems like it must be a common situation for small business owners who use one device for both personal and business. Any help appreciated!
