Hello, I am experiencing a serious issue with my Apple Developer Program enrollment, and after multiple contacts with Apple Developer Support, I still have no resolution. My enrollment process has been ongoing since August 5, 2026. Here is a summary of what has happened: August 5: I started the Apple Developer Program enrollment process. I initially could not enroll through the Apple Developer app because the Enroll Now button was disabled and I was directed to enroll through the website. During the web enrollment process, Apple requested additional identity verification. I submitted the requested identity documents and information. After the review, I was eventually allowed to continue with the enrollment and reached the payment stage. August 13: I paid 1,029 TRY for the Apple Developer Program through Apple's website. The amount was successfully charged. However, my Developer Program membership was never activated. I was subsequently directed to try enrollment through the Apple Developer app. On my iPhone, the identity verification process failed and the app displayed “ID Verification Rejected.” I also tried on a Mac. After entering my identity and address information, I received: “Contact us to continue. There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue. Please contact support.” August 15: Apple issued and emailed me an official invoice confirming the 1,029 TRY Apple Developer Program payment. Despite the successful payment and invoice, I still have no active membership. Today, the situation changed again. A few hours ago, the Developer app was still displaying “ID Verification Rejected.” I then went to the Apple Developer website, where an Enroll button appeared. I selected it and chose to continue enrollment through the website. The website immediately displayed: “Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” After this happened, I checked the Apple Developer app again. Interestingly, “ID Verification Rejected” had disappeared, but the Enroll Now button became disabled again. The app now says that enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account and directs me back to the website. So I am currently stuck in a loop: Developer app → tells me to use the website Website → says my enrollment cannot be completed At the same time, Apple has already charged me 1,029 TRY and issued an official invoice, but I still do not have the Apple Developer Program membership that I paid for. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times and have an existing support case. I have followed every instruction provided to me, submitted the requested identity information, tried enrollment on the web, iPhone, and Mac, and completed the payment. This has been ongoing since August 5, and it is now preventing me from continuing with my app development and distribution plans. Has anyone experienced a similar situation where Apple successfully charged and invoiced the Developer Program membership, but the enrollment remained blocked? If an Apple Developer Support representative sees this post, I would greatly appreciate it if my enrollment could be reviewed or escalated to the appropriate enrollment/review team. Case ID: 20000129008605 I can provide Apple Developer Support with the payment confirmation, official invoice, screenshots of both errors, and any additional identity documentation required. For privacy reasons, I have not included my Apple Account email address, invoice number, or personal identification information in this public post. Thank you.

Is this typical? I submitted my app for review last Tuesday. When I search for how long App Review takes, the general answer is 24-48 hours. I have received no feedback or anything. I had support call me via "Contact Us" for app review and sat on hold for over 3 hours yesterday only to apparently get transferred to regular Apple support after 5:15pm ET. They didn't know what App Review was and then the line hung up after 15 minutes of being on hold while they figured it out. Currently I'm sitting at 3 hours again on hold for the same. This is a free app with no ads or default permissions which I have to pay them to publish. Is this how Apple operates?

Could we install a feature that allows for me to markup any window/screen. Similar to screen shot and markup but I don't want to screenshot and it also reduces the writing space. This would be helpful and if i could easily turn this feature on/off by shaking the pencil. Also it would to have like a quick clear page markup eraser.

Environment: Xcode 16, iOS 18 Simulator, Objective-C, Debug build. Problem: After upgrading to iOS 18 SDK, BOOL values behave abnormally exclusively on the iOS 18 simulator: BOOL properties assigned with system API return values are truncated to negative numbers; __block BOOL variable logged as 0, but the function returns a huge negative integer after dispatch_sync, leading to wrong if condition judgment. All code runs correctly on physical iOS devices and Mac Catalyst. I temporarily fixed it by replacing BOOL type with int to store only 0 and 1. I just want to confirm: what changes in iOS 18 Simulator runtime or Xcode 16 compiler lead to this signed char BOOL overflow/extension issue?

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with a TestFlight External Testing Beta App Review and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar. I submitted my app for External Testing 4 days ago, and it’s still waiting for review with no update. I’ve already emailed Apple Developer Support twice, but I haven’t received a response to either email. I also requested a call from Apple Developer Support. I was placed on hold for about an hour, but no one ever answered. Now, when I try to request another call, I get an error message and can’t submit the call request at all. Has anyone experienced this recently? Is a 4+ day wait for TestFlight External Testing normal right now? And is there another way to reach Apple Developer Support or escalate the review when both email and phone support aren’t working? Any advice or recent experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I am facing a crash at the launch of my application: "failure in void _realizeSettingsExtension(__unsafe_unretained Class, __unsafe_unretained Class) (FBSSceneExtension.m:501) : could not convert "1" to an integer." This crash I am facing since trying with Xcode 26 and iPadOS 27 beta 4. With iPadOS 26, it was working well. Also I have other applications too which does't crash with the same pods and info.plist values and same app launch configurations, device orientation configurations etc. While investigating this crash, I found, it occurs inside Apple's FrontBoardServices, before my application code executes normally (I commented out all the code from "didFinishLaunching:" and from "willConnectToSession:"). The crash stops at: FrontBoardServices`_realizeSettingsExtension.cold.7 brk The relevant call stack is: _realizeSettingsExtension.cold.7 _realizeSettingsExtension FBSSettingForSelector FBSSettingForLegacySelector _ingestPropertiesFromSettingsSubclass -[FBSSceneObserver scene:didUpdateSettings:] -[_UISceneLayoutPreferencesController scene:didUpdateSettings:] I found that FrontBoardServices is processing: <UIMutableApplicationSceneSettings: ...> { legacyLocalSettings = <BSMutableSettings: ...> { (4821) = 1; }; } I confirmed that setting 4821 maps to: setDeviceOrientation: A breakpoint on: -[UIMutableApplicationSceneSettings setDeviceOrientation:] is hit during scene creation. Any guidance on which could be the impacting part/code, or on tracing the origin of this setting would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

We are servicing html5 games. I got a report from a user, and I heard that it will be whited out shortly after entering the game lobby in ios 15 beta. It was not a problem in iOS 14, but in iOS 15 beta2, it is forcibly terminated shortly after entering the lobby. Safari and WKWebview are all the same, and the same problem occurs regardless of the device. The devices I tested were ipad mini4, iphone 11, iphone 12. Seeing that it does not crash when the light effect tween is turned off, I think that the amount of memory available to the GPU for rendering has decreased. Does anyone have similar symptoms related to html5 games?

Paid for and created my account last Tuesday and it's still pending. There's a message that says to continue your enrolment, complete your purchase now, but I have the email to confirm they received the payment last Friday so.... any ideas? Is this normal?

My Individual to Organization account transition has been pending for a very long time. I have submitted every document Apple requested and contacted Apple Support multiple times, but all of my emails and messages have gone unanswered. My app is ready to publish, but I cannot move forward because of this pending status. If Apple cannot complete the Organization transition, I simply want my account returned to Individual status so I can publish my app. Has anyone experienced this issue, and is there a way to get this escalated to the appropriate Apple team?

It's been over a month since I tried to update our VAT number on my organization info page. I submitted "Update your organization" info 3 times. They literally have a box for updating that information yet 2 times they replied "oh we don't do that, contact finance". I contacted finance team, got "oh we don't do that, try purchases" .. every single support response was not even addressing what I was trying to change, they would tell me "we don't do invoices for subscription purchase" - completely off topic responses with zero help. I called at this point 8 times, every times waited on the line for over 20 minutes, once over 40, no one picks up. I am trying to change such simple thing how is everyone so incompetent over there. it's insane. Am I in the dog house? How is no one picking up the phone at all.

At first, the MacBook Air M2 gives an "failed to personalize" error when updating, the detailed error message shown by softwareupdate shows that something related a recovery partition is wrong. The exact error message is not available now. (To solve this issue) I tried to revive the Mac, but it failed the first time and multiple tries also failed after that. The Mac is unable to boot into macOS and the Recovery. The MacUpdater.log shows the following: [12:13:52.3728] find_filesystem_partitions: recovery os container= volume= [12:13:52.3728] entering fsck_recovery_os_filesystems [12:13:52.3728] ramrod_display_set_granular_progress_forced: 29.000000 [12:13:52.3728] fsck_recovery_os_filesystems: No dev node for 'Recovery' partition [12:13:52.3728] leaving fsck_recovery_os_filesystems, returning 26 [12:13:52.3728] [04:13:49.0882-GMT]{3>6} CHECKPOINT FAILURE:(FAILURE:26) MOUNTED:[0x1605] fsck_recovery_volume [0]D(failed to fsck recovery OS filesystems) Since there are many important data on the Mac, I cannot do a restore on it. How should I restore the data?

Hello guys, We have updated our app icon, and it is correctly reflected in our app build and assets. However, the push notification icon is still displaying the old version for some users. ✅ We have verified that: All icon assets in Assets.xcassets match the new icon. The app icon has been updated in Info.plist. The app has been resubmitted and approved on the App Store. ❌ However, some users still see the old notification icon, even after reinstalling the app. Restarting the device does not always resolve the issue. Could you provide insights into how iOS caches notification icons and how we can force a refresh for all users?

This is my first time publishing an app. After submitting all the required information, the status has been stuck on 'Waiting for Review' for two weeks now. How should I handle this situation?

I recently updated my account from Child to Adult. The change applied immediately to my iPhone and iPad, but my M4 MacBook Air still shows the old account status after 24 hours. Other features like Apple Intelligence are working, and Apple Support confirmed the server has the correct information (a new user account on this Mac shows the correct status). It seems my main user profile is holding onto an old cache. Is there a way to force a refresh of System Settings or the account cache on macOS?

Hello everyone, My Apple Developer Program membership has expired, and I received the email instructing me to renew my membership using the Apple Developer app. However, I cannot find the Renew Membership button anywhere. I have already checked: Apple Developer app (iPhone) Apple Developer website App Store Connect Apple Developer Account There is no Membership section or Renew option available. Because of this, all of my apps have been removed from the App Store, and both the Free Apps Agreement and Paid Apps Agreement are now marked as Expired. I am the Account Holder of the account. Has anyone experienced this issue before? How was it resolved? Thank you.

I am writing to report an issue with the call routing logic on my iPhone (dual-SIM configuration). Device setup SIM1: Domestic carrier (used for Cellular Data and Default Voice Line). SIM2: Overseas carrier (Data Roaming intentionally disabled to avoid unintended charges). Incident On 8 August 2026, I dialled the local emergency number from the Phone app. The keypad interface clearly showed that the active line was set to SIM1. However, the call was unexpectedly placed via SIM2. After the call, I checked the recent call details: the "SIM Line" field indicated SIM2. When I manually changed this to SIM1, the change appeared to take effect momentarily, but upon returning to the Recents list and re-entering the detail view, the line reverted to SIM2. The only workaround I found was to edit the contact info (via Edit -> Edit Contact Info) and force the Preferred Line to SIM1 (instead of "Last Used"), then save. This, however, creates an unnecessary entry for the emergency number in my Contacts - which I consider redundant and inelegant. Additional context I recall a previous emergency call on 2 Aug 2025, make under different circumstances (SIM1 had no service at that location, so the call correctly used SIM2). Although that older call no longer appears in Recents, my SIM2 carrier billing confirms it. I suspect that iOS has cached a "Last Used" preference for this specific number from that prior occasion, and that cache overrides the default line setting selected in the dialler - even then the user explicitly chooses SIM1 before dialling. Suggestion Please investigate whether emergency numbers retain a per-contact line preference that persists beyond the Recents history, and whether this cache can cause the system to ignore the user's active line selection at the time of dialling. Ideally, emergency calls should respect the line explicitly shown in the dialler.
