Hi everyone, I'm stuck in Apple's account migration process and could use some advice from those who've been through this. My situation: Submitted individual → organization migration request Got initial response from Apple on June 15 (case #102620626191) Confirmed to proceed immediately Radio silence for 4+ days since then Key details: No existing apps or certificates to preserve Have a finished app ready to publish under business name ASAP Already have D-U-N-S number and LLC setup My question: Should I start a fresh organization account application in parallel, or will that cause conflicts since it's the same LLC/D-U-N-S number? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did creating a new org account end up being faster than waiting for the migration to complete? Any insights on typical timelines for both processes would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I’ve been trying to pay for Apple Developer Program enrollment since decemeber 2024 so now in June 2025 - 6 months of no solutions We have tried all everything, emailed every possible support on developer website, tried mutliple cards and accounts, withdraw enrolment, re-enroll nothing. We even spoke to local Apple Head Office to try and get help to no avail. Customer senior management support even could not help or escalate nothing – But I don’t know what’s really going on or what to do next PLEASE HELP US We are from South Africa

Hi, A few hours ago I enrolled myself in the Apple Developer Program and paid the yearly dues (995 SEK for Sweden). I enrolled via the Developer program on my Mac. When I visit the website (developer.apple.com) now I see an option to "To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now" and it seems like it's asking me to pay again? I'm not sure if it's an issue of waiting or something went wrong during sign up. I've checked my bank and I have been charged already so I wonder if it's an issue of time/approval, how long would it take to finish enrollment? Thanks!

Hello, We are developing an MDM solution. In addition to the cloud-based version, we are also developing an on-premises version of the MDM solution for organizations such as government agencies and other entities for whom using public cloud services is difficult. In such cases, regarding the "MDM vendor CSR certificate" to be included in the on-premises package: Would it be acceptable to use a certificate owned by our company (the MDM vendor)? Or would it be necessary for the client organization to prepare a new certificate themselves?

Hi, I have a question about obtaining the MDM Vendor CSR Signing Certificate. Is it possible to obtain this certificate with an Apple Developer Program account? From the official documentation below, it seems like it might be possible: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/certificates/mdm-vendor-csr-signing-certificate/ However, I have also seen past forum posts stating that it is only available through the Apple Developer Enterprise Program: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/671716 If anyone has detailed knowledge about this, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Hey guys, did someone tried recently to migrate membership from an individual to an organisation? I initiated the process on 1st of May, and as final step sent confirmation documents on 7th of May. Since then I don't have any updates, tried to contact support, but they said that they can't help as legal team is reviewing. So I wanted to ask is it ok to wait for 6 weeks? I thought this would take 2-4 weeks

I didn’t get any follow up email from apple and the app is asking me to pay again for the membership even though you can see the active subscription

My account application was rejected, and I’ve been stuck in limbo! The outdated process needs an update! To the Apple Developer Support Team, I am a developer currently applying for an Apple Developer Account. Below is a brief summary of the technical obstacles I encountered during my registration process on June 4th, along with suggestions for process optimization: Problem Overview During registration, the payment confirmation page froze for approximately 10 minutes with no loading indicators. Without any error codes or timeout messages on the interface, I was forced to restart the registration process 3 times. Conflict with App Store daily purchase limits was identified when accessing via mobile. After resolving the limit issue, the registration system continued to display a “Contact Support” error. I immediately reached out to the support team. Support Team Interaction The support team repeatedly responded with vague updates like “awaiting system synchronization,” offering no estimated resolution time or escalation path. I was told to either “wait indefinitely” or “try again with a different identity.” Wait, I’m just trying to register with my own credentials—why can’t I proceed after a 10-minute attempt? Impact Account access restrictions have halted my ability to develop applications. Optimization Suggestions User Experience Enhancements: Implement real-time alerts (e.g., pop-ups, notifications) for payment-related issues on desktop to avoid silent failures. Add a pre-registration check for App Store balance/limit conflicts. Transparency & Accountability: Replace opaque “black-box” error handling with clear, rule-based guidance for developers. Provide a dedicated escalation channel and ensure timely human intervention for unresolved issues. As a developer committed to the iOS ecosystem, I acknowledge the complexity of account systems but believe targeted UX adjustments could prevent cascading failures like this. I welcome technical discussions to resolve my current registration blockage and collaborate on preventive measures.

Hello, I'm currently living in Finland and would like to apply for the developer program in order to develop an app for the Apple Vision Pro. I understand that Finland is not supported in this matter, so I thought about making an German AppleID, since that is supported in the AVP App Store, and enroll in the program with that. The problem is that, since I'm not a German citizen nor have a residency there, would that cause a problem in the identity verification process? Is this allowed at all? If not, are there any workarounds to be able to get the developer account outside of supported regions? Thank you!

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

for over 2 months, I have peen trying to purchase apple developer account, I have submitted duns number, they also requested other verification details which I have submitted over 2 months, and I have tried chatting apple support and they keep telling me it under review for more than 2 months, currently they are not replying my chat

Hello Community, A few years ago, I attempted to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but the process was blocked with the following error message: "Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." As a developer, I regularly help businesses and individuals set up their Apple developer accounts, and I’ve never encountered this issue with any of my clients—only on my own personal account. I’ve since discovered that others have faced this problem too, but none seem to have found a working solution. I’ve sent multiple emails to Apple Support and I have yet to receive a single response. This matter is extremely urgent for me. If anyone has experienced this issue and successfully resolved it, please share your solution. I’d greatly appreciate any insight. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm an indie developer and I'm currently dealing with a confusing and concerning issue with Apple. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar. 🔻 What happened: I’m based in Poland and recently opened a sole proprietorship. A few days before the issue, I updated my W-8BEN tax form (correcting my personal ID to my business tax ID – NIP). Then, one day before my scheduled monthly payout, I received an email from Apple saying: "Your payments are on hold – we’ve noticed irregular activity on your account." All payments were suddenly put on hold with no specific reason given. My app remains live and available on the App Store. I wasn’t warned ahead of time, and there’s no detailed explanation from Apple so far. 🔸 My questions: Has anyone else had all their payments withheld right before payout like this? What were the reasons in your case (tax issues, account verification, “irregular activity”, etc.)? How long did it take to resolve, and did Apple eventually release the funds? I’ve contacted Apple Finance, but responses so far have been generic and slow. Any advice, experience, or clarification would be extremely appreciated — this payout is essential for covering my operating costs, and being left without funds so suddenly is pretty rough.

Hi everyone, It’s been almost three weeks, and I’m still waiting for a reply about my subscription to the Apple Developer Program, but I haven’t received anything. I replied to the email three days ago and got no response. I tried again by requesting the subscription two days ago, but all I received was an automated message saying they would reply within two business days. What I did: I went to my Apple Developer account, clicked on Subscriptions, and entered my card details. They sent me an email saying they are preparing my order, but nothing else. Has anyone else had the same issue with Apple Developer support? Regards,

I purchased a Mac mini to register for the Apple Developer program, but it doesn't have a camera. Therefore, during the registration process, I tried using someone else's phone to continue, but it failed and I couldn't continue. I contacted customer service many times, but their response was the same: they couldn't solve the problem. My software and game have been developed, so I really need an account to sell them. I hope the Apple official website can give me a chance to register again. Thank you very much.

Hi there I have applied for Account migration from individual to organization on 30th April. It's been over a month and I am still yet to hear from them and it's still in process. Please speed up or let me know regular updates like how we get amazon delivery order tracking - at least add this please. Thank you!

This really shouldn't be this difficult. Here's the situation: We had a card linked to our Apple Developer account, which expired. It had already seen 2 successful membership purchases. We had auto-renewal turned on for the membership, which failed due to the expired card. I was unable to capture new payment details for about 2 days (battling with various Apple payment pages to get the new card added). But finally managed to do so. Now, there is no way to disable auto-renewal, and no way to trigger renewal. The membership is in expired status. We can't post updates, we can't take apps live. We have several clients eagerly awaiting publication of their apps. And Apple Support has been silent for over two weeks despite numerous requests. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this? I've tried almost every option described on every forum post.

Hi Team, Our team member trying to enroll through the invite in Apple Developer portal Note: Phone number is valid but still we are getting this error. It happens in all the browser

I'm experiencing issues enrolling in the Apple Developer Program. After completing the enrollment and attempting to make the payment, I'm redirected to a page stating that it will take 48 hours to process the payment. However, after that time has passed, when I access the Apple Developer page, everything looks the same, as if I need to enroll again.
