New Trouble with Over-the-Air Installs
All of a sudden my apps made with my client's Enterprise account won't launch when downloaded over-the-air on iOS 17+, but WILL launch when installed over a wire. The usual 'trust' mechanism found under Settings>General>VPS and Device Management seems not to be available for over-the-air downloads. But it is available for over-a-wire sideloads! This seems not to be an issue with iOS 15+ Does anyone here know what to do about this? Thanks, Craig Umanoff

Apple developer account - stuck in enrolling for over 2 weeks
I have been trying to enrol for an apple developer program for more than 2 weeks now. The goal is to enrol as a company. We got a DUNS number and everything. 1st attempt: With a new appleid account based on a company address, done through a browser. Payment details submitted, got thank you page, a week later nothing... Apple support suggests doing this on the app. 2nd attempt: WIthdrew application, used a mobile device and logon with the new appleid on the device. Downloaded apple developer app. Logged on the app with the same apple id. App asked me to take pictures of my id card, failed to submit with message "Unable to send information - Your information could not be sent due to a connection error" Googled the above saw 100s of people facing the same issue, apple developer forum is flooded with people that are stuck to either the first or the second scenario. 3rd attempt: Used my existing personal appleid to create an account. Again either stuck on 1st or 2nd scenario 4rd attempt: Created a brand new apple id with a new email address. Again stuck in either the first or second scenario. Dear Apple, why are you making this so complicated? Apple support, can we get some individual support here and not just the canned replies? Enrolment IDs and case numbers available upon request. Many thanks.

I completed the enrollment for my company in 2024
Hi! I completed the enrollment for my company on April 22, 2024. And since then we have successfully placed our application in the Store and continue to work on it. On March 27, 2025, I needed to renew my participation in the Apple Developer Program and I did it successfully - I received a confirmation letter from you. However, later I discovered that my order was canceled and now, when I go to developer.applе.com, I am offered to go through the enrollment procedure! I'm confused! It is not clear what to do in such a situation?! I will be grateful for any help!

Issue with Azure Entra External ID and Apple ID Federation – "invalid_request invalid web redirect url"
I'm currently coding an application using Azure Entra External ID (B2C) with User Flows and multiple identity providers configured. So far, I’ve successfully linked Microsoft, Google, and Facebook. However, when configuring Apple as an identity provider, the User Flow fails with the following error: "invalid_request invalid web redirect url" Following the Microsoft Learn guide (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/external-id/customers/how-to-apple-federation-customers), I completed the following: Create an Apple application Sign in to the Apple Developer Portal with your account credentials. From the menu, select Certificates, IDs, & Profiles, and then select (+). In the Register a New Identifier section, select App IDs, and then select Continue. For Select a type, select App, and then select Continue. To Register your App ID: Enter a Description. Enter the Bundle ID, such as com.contoso.azure-ad. Explicit naming such as com.myappdomain.myappname recommended. For Capabilities, select Sign in with Apple from the capabilities list. Take note of your Team ID (App ID Prefix) from this step. You'll need it later. Select Continue and then Register. From the menu, select Certificates, IDs, & Profiles, and then select (+). In the Register a new identifier section, select Services IDs, and then select Continue. In Register a Services ID: Enter a Description. The description is shown to the user on the consent screen. Enter the Identifier, such as com.contoso.entra-service. Explicit naming such as com.myappdomain.myappname.service is recommended. Take note of your Service ID identifier. The identifier is your Client ID. Select Continue, and then select Register. From Identifiers, select the Service ID identifier you created. Select Sign In with Apple, and then select Configure. Select the Primary App ID you want to configure Sign in with Apple with. In Domains and Subdomains, enter the following by replacing with your tenant ID or your primary domain name, and with your tenant name. All characters should be in lower-case. As an example: .ciamlogin.com .ciamlogin.com In Return URLs, enter the following by replacing with your tenant ID or your primary domain name, and with your tenant name. All characters should be in lower-case. As an example: https://.ciamlogin.com//federation/oauth2 https://.ciamlogin.com//federation/oauth2 https://.ciamlogin.com//federation/oauth2 Select Next, and then select Done. When the pop-up window is closed, select Continue, and then select Save. Create an Apple client secret From the Apple Developer portal menu, select Keys, and then select (+). To Register a New Key: Type a Key Name. Select Sign in with Apple, and then select Configure. For the Primary App ID, select the app you created previously, and then select Save. Select Continue, and then select Register to finish the key registration process. Take note of the Key ID. This key is required when you configure the identity provider. To Download Your Key, select Download to download the .p8 file that contains your key. Select Done. Configure Apple federation in Microsoft Entra External ID After you create the Apple app, in this step you set the Apple app details in Microsoft Entra External ID. You can use the Microsoft Entra admin center to do so. To configure Apple federation in the Microsoft Entra admin center, follow these steps: Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center. Browse to Entra ID > External Identities > All identity providers. Under the Built-in tab, select Apple. The Name Apple is autopopulated. It cannot be changed. Enter the following details: Client (Apple service) ID: The client ID of the Apple application you created in the previous step. Apple developer team ID: The Apple developer team ID related to the Apple application you created in the previous step. Key ID: The key ID of the Apple application you created in the previous step. Client secret (.p8) key: The client secret key of the Apple application you created in the previous step. Select Save. You’ll see Apple listed as a configured identity provider. Add Apple identity provider to a user flow At this point, the Apple identity provider has been set up in your Microsoft Entra External ID, but it's not yet available in any of the sign-in pages. To add the Apple identity provider to a user flow: In your customer tenant, browse to Entra ID > External Identities > User flows. Select the user flow where you want to add the Apple identity provider. Under Settings, select Identity providers. Under Other Identity Providers, select Apple. Select Save. ❌ The Issue After completing all steps, Apple still fails during sign-in, while the other providers work correctly. The error message I receive is: "invalid_request invalid web redirect url" Request for Help I'm unsure where the misconfiguration may lie — whether it's with: The Return URLs entered in the Apple Developer portal, The Client ID or other fields in the Entra portal, Or something else I’ve overlooked. If anyone has successfully configured Apple ID federation with Azure Entra External ID (B2C) and encountered this error, I'd really appreciate any insights or suggestions. Thank you!

Developer Account Payment Made, But No Activation Email After 3 Weeks
Hello, I created an Apple Developer account and paid the €79 membership fee. It has now been three weeks, and I still haven’t received any email confirming the activation or approval of my account. Apple mentioned that I would receive a response within 48 hours, but I have only received two emails related to the payment invoice. There has been no update regarding the status or activation of my developer account. Can someone help me understand what might be causing the delay, or how I can get in touch with the right support team to resolve this? Thank you.

Help! Free to paid dev account
I’m very new to mobile app development but not new to application development in general. I’m close to completing my first app and really excited to get things moving along and then hit a major roadblock and am at my wits end with this. I currently have a free account and have been testing on my own phone. I’m ready to move to TestFlight so went to enroll in the paid program and it just says can’t do so at this time. I sent support an email and they said it’s because they can’t identify me. I called and they told me the same thing and that there is literally nothing that can be done. I tried to create a new Apple ID and figured I’d just use it for the dev work I want to do but I can’t even create a new ID. I did have Family Sharing setup with myself as the organize and removed myself from that to ensure nothing was preventing identification. Still nothing. I can’t possibly be the only one that has gone through this. Frustrated is an understatement and getting this app out was really going to be such a big deal for me. So disappointed. Any suggestions?

“Too many verification codes sent” error – 2FA SMS never arrives on standard login
Hello everyone, I’m running into an issue when logging into my Apple Developer account on the official site. After entering my Apple ID and password, I immediately see: too many verification codes sent At this point I should receive a 6-digit 2FA code via SMS to my trusted phone number, but nothing ever arrives. I’ve waited from one to seven days and tried again, but I still get the same error and still no SMS. I’ve double-checked that: My trusted phone number is correct in my Apple ID settings. My carrier isn’t blocking or rate-limiting SMS messages. Steps to reproduce: Go to developer.apple.com and click “Sign In.” Enter Apple ID and password. Submit credentials → immediately see “too many verification codes sent.” No SMS arrives. Retrying doesn’t help. Expected behavior: Apple sends a new 6-digit 2FA SMS to my trusted number. After entering it, I can complete the login flow. Actual behavior: I receive the “too many verification codes sent” message instantly. I never get the SMS code, even after waiting or retrying. Has anyone else experienced this on the standard Developer portal? Is there a way to clear the “too many verification codes sent” flag or otherwise force delivery of the 2FA SMS? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Terminated Without Explanation – No Contact Options Left
Hello, I represent a registered business operating under a developer account that has always followed Apple’s guidelines, complied fully with review requests, and submitted documentation whenever asked. We have never knowingly violated any policy, and we categorically deny any dishonest or fraudulent behavior. Last week, our developer account was suddenly terminated without any prior warning or opportunity to address concerns. The message provided no specific reason, no actionable details, and no path to resolution. This has left us completely locked out — unable to appeal through standard channels, and unable to contact anyone directly. It’s shocking, disorienting, and devastating to a legitimate business with employees, users, and operations depending on this platform. To make matters worse, this is not the first time. A previous termination notice was sent weeks ago and then — after we submitted a respectful and professional appeal — Apple quietly reversed the decision overnight, without any explanation or follow-up. We were left to assume it was a mistake. We had hoped that incident was rare and behind us. Now it’s happening again, without explanation, and without a human conversation. We are losing money and users every day, and we’re still in the dark about what Apple believes we did wrong — because no one has told us. We submitted a support ticket (ID: 102590329012), but have received no reply. We are committed to transparency, and we’re ready to provide any information needed. But we need someone to acknowledge this issue and help us find a path forward. If anyone has experienced something similar or knows of escalation methods that worked, please share. We’re doing everything we can to resolve this respectfully — but we are shocked and deeply concerned. Thank you.
