Hello everyone, Our developer account has been stuck in pending since the end of August when we applied. No rejections, only 1 follow up email a week after application for our certificate of incorporation, which we provided. I've tried Apple support. Unfortunately, phone lines are unavaliable "Due to high call volumes" and there's no responses to my email, except a dead end a few weeks ago claiming that it was escalated and i'd hear back soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Anyone else been in my situation?

Hello, My Individual Apple Developer Program enrollment is still showing “Pending”. Initially, I submitted the membership purchase through the Apple Developer website, but the payment was not charged to my card. I contacted Apple Developer Support and was told that something was preventing the payment from fully processing. Because I do not have access to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, I could not resubmit the enrollment through the Apple Developer app. Apple Developer Support then asked me to verify my identity. I uploaded both the front and back sides of my valid National ID Card and received confirmation that my documents were received and are being reviewed. My account is still showing: “Pending” and “Purchase your membership — To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now.” I have followed up with Developer Support, but I have not yet received an update. Phone support is currently unavailable due to high call volumes. Enrollment ID: QXPD74J83M Support Case: 102978432103 Could an Apple Developer Support representative please check whether my identity verification has been completed and whether my enrollment or payment state needs to be manually reviewed or reset? I do not want to submit another membership purchase until Apple confirms that it is safe to do so. Thank you.

Hello, I paid for my Apple Developer Program membership on September 28, 2026. As of October 6, my enrollment is still pending, and my account continues to show “Purchase your membership” and the message that payment may take up to 48 hours to process. I have contacted Apple Developer Support several times but have not received a response or a callback. Xcode still only shows my Personal Team. What is the appropriate way to escalate this enrollment issue and have the existing payment and enrollment reviewed? I can provide payment details privately through an official support channel if needed. Thank you.

Hello Apple Developer Support, Our app is ready for testing, but our organization enrollment remains unresolved more than two weeks after submitting the requested documents. The delay and lack of a clear status are frustrating both our client and our development team. Company: Al Rakaiz Al Bashariyya Company For Recruitment Enrollment ID: ZAB5P7U3NR Support Case ID: 102985809833 I uploaded the requested ID, commercial registration, authorization letter, and engagement verification on September 20, 2026. However, I received further document reminders on September 27 and October 4. I contacted support on October 4 and still have no substantive response. Could an Apple staff member please review this case and confirm what is actually blocking enrollment? Have the documents been received and linked to our application? Is anything missing, or is a response from the organization’s verification contact still required? We are ready to resolve any outstanding requirement immediately. We need a clear status and a specific next step so we can move forward. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I am hoping to get some advice or guidance from the community regarding the Apple Developer Program organization enrollment process. Currently, our enrollment status is showing as "Your enrollment is being processed." We are a bit concerned because our previous enrollment application remained in this state until it unfortunately expired, which meant we had to start the process over with a new one (Enrollment ID: 6XP6S5L3Q2). We want to make sure we are doing everything correctly on our end so this one can go through smoothly. Here is where we are at so far: Successfully verified our D-U-N-S number and legal entity details. Opened a support case via the Developer Support portal to follow up. Our team has finished building our app and we are incredibly excited to share it on the App Store! We are just eagerly waiting on this final enrollment step to move forward. Has anyone else experienced a similar delay or had an application expire while in processing? If so, could you share any tips on the best way to gently follow up with support or reach a review specialist to ensure all our documents are in order? Any help, insights, or advice you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and help! Warm regards, JOY CLOUD SERVICES LLP

Our Apple Developer Program enrollment has been pending for around 1 month. We have contacted support multiple times and had a scheduled call today, but we were not connected after waiting 40 minutes. Support keeps advising us to wait for senior advisor review, but the delay is blocking us quite hard. Could someone from Apple please help us?

Hi everyone, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual developer from Türkiye, but my application was recently rejected with the standard generic message: "For one or more reasons, your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program couldn't be completed. We can't continue with your enrollment at this time." What makes this situation particularly frustrating is the contrast with my spouse's application: Spouse’s Application: Applied as an Individual from the same household/IP, and her account was approved within minutes without requiring a single document. My Application: I was asked to complete additional verification, so I provided a high-quality scan of my government-issued photo ID along with the requested selfie holding my ID. Despite fulfilling every requirement, my enrollment was rejected. Here are the details of my setup: Account Type: Individual Developer Verification Steps Completed: Government ID scan + selfie holding ID. Data Consistency: My Apple Account name, government ID, and payment card details are 100% identical and match perfectly. Support Contacted: I reached out to Apple Developer Support (Case #102974161423), but received only automated template responses with no specific reasons or actionable feedback. Has anyone experienced a similar issue where one account is instantly approved while another gets stuck in an unresolvable rejection loop despite providing full documentation? Is there any way to escalate this for a manual review by a human advisor? I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice from the community. Thank you!

We’ve had an Apple Developer account for many years and have multiple apps published under it. Our Developer Program membership recently expired, and the apps were removed from the App Store. The problem is that there is now no visible way to renew the existing membership. When signing in to the Apple Developer website, instead of a Renew Membership option, the account only shows: “Join the Apple Developer Program” If we click Enroll, we get this error: “Sorry, you can’t enroll at this time. Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership.” So the account is clearly still associated with the existing Developer Program membership, but there is no renewal option anywhere. In App Store Connect, the same Apple Account is listed as the Account Holder, and App Store Connect shows: “Developer Program Membership Expired” Has anyone experienced this before? Is there any way to force the renewal option to appear, or is this something only Apple Developer Support can fix on their side? This is fairly urgent for us because one of our apps is actively used by existing customers to control our hardware products.

Case ID: 20000134891550 I am reaching out because my organization's Developer Program Enrollment has been pending approval for the past 3 months. Despite providing all requested documentation and opening support requests over 5 times (Case ID: 20000134891550), there has been no response or explanation for this delay from your team at Apple. What can I do to expedite this matter? I please urge that this issue is resolved and that my enrollment is reviewed as soon as possible so I can publish my application on your platforms. This delay is severely affecting our organization's goals and internal deadlines. Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue. You can reach me through my Apple Developer account or email. Thank you!

Hello, I've been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual since April 2026. Every attempt ends right after I accept the agreement, before payment, with: "Your enrollment could not be completed at this time." The same happens in the Apple Developer app on my iPhone. Support replied twice (April and July) with the same generic message: "For one or more reasons, your enrollment couldn't be completed. We can't continue with your enrollment at this time." No reason and no next step. My follow-ups have not been answered. What I've checked: My Apple Account name and date of birth match my passport exactly. Two-factor authentication is on, and my account country is Saudi Arabia, where I live. I removed an old trusted phone number I no longer own and two old devices. I have never been asked to verify my identity, and I'm ready to do it with my passport. My questions: Has anyone in the same situation gotten this resolved? What worked? If anyone from Apple sees this, could my case be reviewed? Case IDs: 102951973826 and 102873464821. I just want to build and publish iPhone apps, and I'm happy to meet any requirement I've missed. Thank you.

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?

I’m having a recurring problem with Apple Account Recovery and have not been able to identify what is interrupting the process. The first time this happened, I eventually discovered that I was still logged into the Apple Developer app on my Mac. From there, I was able to reset the password and regain access. A few weeks ago, the same issue started again. This time, however, I am no longer logged into the Apple Developer app or, as far as I can determine, into the affected Apple Account on any device. Apple Support told me that Account Recovery can be interrupted if: The recovery process is manually cancelled via iforgot.apple.com. Another device successfully logs into the account. Another device attempts to access the account, which can also stop the recovery process for security reasons. I am not cancelling the process. I have checked all of my own devices, and our developers have also checked theirs. We cannot find any device that is still logged in or intentionally trying to access the account. What makes the issue especially confusing is that I can see the recovery process being interrupted. If I visit iforgot.apple.com each day and go through the recovery steps, the countdown initially progresses normally, for example from “6 days remaining” to “5 days remaining.” But before the 7-day waiting period is completed, the countdown suddenly disappears and the recovery process starts again from the beginning. So the recovery request appears to be getting cancelled or interrupted, but I have no way to determine what is causing it. Apple Support has not been able to provide any information about the triggering event, such as the device type, IP address, location, or whether it was a successful login or merely an access attempt. This Apple Account is also connected to our company’s Apple Developer account, so the problem is causing a serious business issue. Has anyone experienced Account Recovery repeatedly resetting like this despite having no known device logged in? And is there any way to find out what device or access attempt is causing Apple to interrupt the recovery process, or to have this escalated to a team that can investigate the trigger?

Hey guysI’ve been trying to pay for Apple Developer Program enrollment for about a week and still no luck. As well as I got from a small talk with the customer support – Apple never got my money. So it seems like my payment authorization fails all the time. But I don’t know what’s really going on.Have any of you ever had issues like that?Or maybe you just know what’s going on and how to fix it?

Hi, I’m having an issue enrolling in the Apple Developer Program, and I’m hoping someone here has experienced something similar. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support three times. My first enrollment attempt was through the Apple Developer website because I couldn’t use the Apple Developer app at that time. My Mac was still running macOS Sequoia, and I couldn’t download/use the required app because of the macOS version requirement. On my first web enrollment attempt, I reached the payment stage, but Apple was unable to charge my card. I contacted support, and the representative told me there was an issue with the card and advised me to try again. I then made another enrollment attempt using a different card. This time, the payment appeared to go through successfully and I did not receive any payment error. However, the enrollment order was later cancelled. After upgrading macOS, I downloaded the Apple Developer app. At first, the “Enroll Now” button was disabled. Because my enrollment order had been cancelled again, I contacted Apple Developer Support for the second time. The representative said there was still a payment-related issue and advised me to try enrolling through the Developer app instead. After that call, the “Enroll Now” button became available. I then tried enrolling through the app and was able to go through the enrollment process, but at the final step I was unable to continue. I contacted support for the third time, and this time I was told that I’m no longer able to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. However, I was not given a clear explanation as to why. My concern is that the previous failed or cancelled enrollment attempts may have caused some kind of restriction or incorrect enrollment state on my Apple Account. I’m not trying to create multiple memberships or accounts. I only retried because the previous attempts failed, were cancelled, or because I was following the instructions given to me by Apple Support. Has anyone experienced a similar situation where multiple payment/enrollment attempts caused the account to become unable to enroll? If so, were you eventually able to get the enrollment reviewed, reset, or approved? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here can help or advise me on what to do next. I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and completed the payment on October 1, 2026. However, my account is still showing Pending, and the Developer portal is still asking me to purchase the membership again. My details are: Enrollment ID: X2YRV8DQ57 Order ID: W1988568006 Payment date: October 1, 2026 Current status: Pending Developer portal still shows: “Purchase your membership” I have already contacted Apple Developer Support and sent them all the required details, including the payment information and screenshots, but I am still waiting for a resolution. The frustrating part is that Apple Developer Support is not responding to my follow-up emails, and when I contact Apple customer service by phone, they are unable to help because they apparently do not have access to the Apple Developer enrollment/payment system. I am currently completely blocked because I need the Developer Program membership to continue with App Store Connect and TestFlight testing, but I also do not want to pay for the membership a second time when I have already completed the payment. Has anyone experienced this recently? If so: How long did it take for Apple to activate your account? Was there any specific Developer Support team you contacted? Is there any way to escalate an enrollment/payment issue? Should I continue waiting, or is there another process I should follow? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have already provided Apple with my order and enrollment information, but I have not received any meaningful update yet. Thanks in advance.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual developer from Angola. My Apple Account is already created and I can sign in normally. Two-factor authentication is enabled, and my trusted phone number is an Angolan number (+244). However, when I complete the Apple Developer Program enrollment process on the website, I receive this error: “Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” The enrollment does not proceed to the payment stage. I have verified my Apple Account information and I am using my real legal information, with Angola as my country/region. I am using a Windows PC and completing the enrollment through the Apple Developer website. I do not own an iPhone or Mac. Has anyone in Angola experienced this exact issue and successfully resolved it? I would especially like to know: Is Apple Developer Program enrollment currently available for individual developers in Angola? Is there any additional identity, account, phone number, or country/region requirement for Angola? Does this error require an internal review or reset of the enrollment status? I have seen other recent developers reporting the same enrollment error in the Apple Developer Forums, including cases where 2FA was enabled and the account information was correct. Any advice from developers who have successfully resolved this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I keep getting this error in the Apple Developer app: “Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple ID.” I want to enroll through the app so I can pay in Naira instead of dollars. Has anyone solved this recently? How did you get the Enroll button to work? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I’m running into a frustrating issue with the Apple Developer Program and would really appreciate any advice. I was charged $99 USD for the membership and received the confirmation email saying it would be processed within 2 business days. However, I still don’t have access to the membership, and nothing has been activated on my account. What makes it worse — I’ve already tried contacting Apple support multiple times via email, but I haven’t received any response at all. So right now I’m stuck: payment went through, but no membership and no support response. Has anyone faced this before? Did your membership eventually activate on its own? Is there any way to actually reach Apple support (chat, phone, anything that works)? Should I escalate this somehow or request a refund through my bank? Any advice would really help — I feel like I’m just shouting into the void at this point. Thanks 🙏

Really disappointed in Apple Support!! Hi ALL, I’m really frustrated. I created and paid for an Apple Developer account on 21 May 2026 I created a support ticket (Your case ID is 102979752391) and still no response from Apple. My account is still reflecting "Pending" To be totally honest, this is not what I expected from Apple, and I really did not believe that their support would be this bad. Does anybody have some advice as to how I get this account activated or find out how it can be escalated to somebody in management to resolve. We have a business app completed and now waiting on Apple, ANYBODY please help! Thank you
