Issue with Apple Developer Enrollment – Email Validation
Hi Forum, I am currently facing an issue with the Apple Developer enrollment process. My legal entity, Medinertia Technologies Pvt Ltd, is registered in India, and I have obtained a valid D-U-N-S number for it. I also purchased the domain medinertia.co.in and created a business email (support @medinertia.co.in). However, this email is still not being accepted during enrollment. Could you please clarify what domain extensions or email formats are supported for business verification? Without clear guidelines on acceptable domain names and email IDs, it becomes difficult and costly to keep purchasing multiple domains. Your guidance on the correct domain/email requirements will be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Uday

My account registration is stuck indefinitely, and the support team hasn’t resolved it! Before hosting developer conferences, shouldn’t Apple at least ensure the registration process works for developers?
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 The outdated process needs an update!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.

iOS 26 bugs
Hi, here´s what I noticed for iOS bugs : red notifications badges go under App name above control panel and notifications panel are too clear and too transparent as we cannot distinguish what’s written with what is under. widget for hour sometimes doesn’t synchronise page scrolling lags somtimes. there is still no GPS/location shortcut in panel control. why not allow to chose previous design icon in the choice of design. Some new icon colors are so awfull ! transparencies and blurred design are often hard to read. the App precision design and contrast are less confortable for the sight. Apple car background image is not nice and seems to be dirty.

Question Regarding Obtaining the MDM Vendor CSR Signing Certificate
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.

Problem with building on EAS.
Hello I have been developing an app that I want to deploy on the App Store through EAS cloud. My boss had purchased the apple developer account and invited me to a development team and I signed in with the same credentials. But when I try eas build and then select IOS as the platform I am getting this error shown in the image. Does this mean I have to purchase an apple developer account? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Getting invalid_client error when using Sign in with Apple (Web) via Firebase
I'm currently facing an issue while integrating Sign in with Apple on a Firebase web app using JavaScript. ✅ What I’ve done: Created a Service ID Created an App ID and enabled Sign in with Apple Linked the Service ID to the App ID under Web Authentication Configuration and also add these Domains and sub-domains: apple-signin-test-next.firebaseapp.com Registered return URL: https://apple-signin-test-next.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/handler Generated a key with Sign in with Apple capability and added: Key ID Team ID Private Key Client ID (Service ID not App ID) all in the Firebase Auth Apple Sign-In configuration I’ve tried multiple test projects and keys, including deleting and recreating everything, but I still consistently receive this error: invalid_client 🔎 Additional Details: The client_id in the auth request matches the Service ID exactly I’m not using an iOS app — this is purely web-based Sign in with Apple I am using a valid Apple Developer account enrolled in the program What could be the reason Apple keeps returning invalid_client even though all configuration seems correct? Please help us to resolve the issue. We are ready to connect for a call too. Thanks

Stuck in Manual ID Review for Apple Developer Program (39 Days and Counting)
Hi everyone, I tried to enroll in the Apple Developer Program nearly two months ago. Initially, I had issues using both the website and the Developer app on Mac/iPhone to complete the process. After contacting Apple Developer Support, I was told that they don't accept EU residence permits through the automatic system, only national ID cards or a driver’s license, which I don’t have, as a few years ago I relocated from a 3rd world non-EU country. But they said this can be reviewed manually. Eventually, Apple Support provided me with a link to upload my passport and residence permit photos. I submitted them right away, but it’s now been 39 days with no progress. I followed up multiple times.. after 10 days, 3 weeks, and again just recently, and each time I’m told my documents are still under review, with no ETA or further details. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is there anything else I can do to move this forward, or is it just a matter of waiting indefinitely? Thanks in advance for any advice or insight.

Unable to Renew Developer Account - Payment Fails Despite Valid Cards
Hi everyone, My Apple Developer Program subscription was supposed to renew last month, but the payment failed. Surprisingly, the subscription didn’t expire right away, I got an extra month. I’ve now tried updating the payment method using multiple credit/debit cards (including my own and my dad’s), all of which are working perfectly elsewhere but the payment continues to fail. In the Developer app on macOS, I don’t see any option to manually renew the subscription (see attached screenshot). I also noticed that the street address on my developer account doesn’t match the billing address of the card I’m using. Could this be the cause of the issue? If automatic renewal fails, is there a manual payment method available? I’ve already contacted Apple Support, but the solutions they suggested haven’t worked. With my subscription now set to expire in just 3 days, I’m running out of time and options. If there's any way to manually pay or resolve this, I would really appreciate it. I’m in a desperate situation and need to renew to keep my app updates live. Thanks in advance!

invalid_request - Invalid web redirect url.
Hi, I have setup Apple SignIn on a platform i am developing and configure all the required Service IDs and redirect URLs. The integration worked up until I moved the platform to a new domain name last friday. I have reconfigured the list of allowed domains and redirect urls to the new domain name, and removed all the mentions of the former one. Since then, when trying to Sign In with Apple, I am greated with the following error : " invalid_request - Invalid web redirect url". I have also observed that if i manually change the domain name in the redirect_uri parameter but keep the rest of the OAuth URL identical, the error disappears. This should not be possible since the former domain name has been completely removed from the Service ID configuration. Is there a propagation time for this ? And if so, it seems very long (5 days and pending). I have checked and rechecked and tripled checked my configuration, every time by going in my dev account > Identifiers > Service IDs > Sign In with Apple > Configure, then clicking Done > Continue > Save. I can confirm that : the redirect domains and URLs there are correct, and no mention of the former domain name is present I can still login using the former domain redirect urls (so my implementation is valid, but the configuration is not up to date) the new redirect urls are still not working as of now https is included in the redirect_urls, no trailing slash is present. again, the same URLs but with a different domain name were configured and worked (if anything, still work) properly TLS 1.3 connection (i know 1.2 is a requirement) Any advice would be welcome

Updated my iPhone--now none of my testflight builds appear! Please help!
I am a recently joined developer. However, I have 5 app builds, and 3 are in live in the App Store. I recently updated from iPhone 13 mini to iPhone 16e. I am logged into iCloud with my personal Apple ID, but in media & purchases, I am logged in with my Apple dev ID (email has my company domain). For some reason, only my oldest app build is visible in testflight on my iPhone. Logging in on MacBook, I see all 5 apps and current builds. Under testflight tab there, the correct group with my email (same as developer account ID) is listed as invited. Yet, none are visible in my iPhone testflight. Clicking on the invite email gives "Couldn't Load App This invitation cannot be accepted because your Apple Account, (redacted) has already been associated to this app." Does anyone, please, have any advice???

Developer account renew payment refused
Hi, We're trying to renew our subscription as we've always done before. But somehow all our credit cards were rejected. We've tried changing to different cards but with no success. The error message we get is: We are unable to complete your order. There was an issue processing your order. Verify that your information is correct and try again. If you need further assistance, contact us. If you'd please be so kind as to help us figure this out. We don't know what the issue is exactly. And we got an email saying: To avoid a delay in receiving your order, contact us via the Developer page to change your payment information. If after 4 days we're still unable to process your payment, your order will be canceled. You may contact your card provider to find more information. We've tried the developer app as suggested and that didn't work as well. We got the following error: We've sent a reply in the emails we got but there were no answers and every method you propose does not seem to tell us why 4 credit cards from 3 different countries were all rejected. Please, send us an explaination first as to why the payments were rejected and then what can we do to solve this ASAP Best regards Best regards.

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Application Not Processing (South Africa)
Hi Apple Developer Team, I’m a developer based in South Africa. I initially submitted my enrollment for the Apple Developer Program (Individual) last week Thursday (May 2nd, 2025). The enrollment was then withdrawn by Apple, asking me to re-apply - which I did. Unfortunately, the same issue persists. I entered valid payment details during the re-application. No payment has been deducted. The enroll button on the Apple Developer app remains disabled. It has now been 5 days without resolution. We’ve even gone to the extent of verifying our banking setup and confirming that our card is enabled for international payments. Out of frustration, I have now withdrawn all enrollment applications. Please advise on how I can proceed based on the Case ID I have submitted. This delay is affecting our iOS launch, and I would really appreciate guidance on the way forward. Thank you.

invalid_request - Invalid web redirect url.
Hi, I have setup Apple SignIn on a platform i am developing and configure all the required Service IDs and redirect URLs. The integration worked up until I moved the platform to a new domain name last friday. I have reconfigured the list of allowed domains and redirect urls to the new domain name, and removed all the mentions of the former one. Since then, when trying to Sign In with Apple, I am greated with the following error : " invalid_request - Invalid web redirect url". I have also observed that if i manually change the domain name in the redirect_uri parameter but keep the rest of the OAuth URL identical, the error disappears. This should not be possible since the former domain name has been completely removed from the Service ID configuration. Is there a propagation time for this ? And if so, it seems very long (5 days and pending). I have checked and rechecked and tripled checked my configuration, every time by going in my dev account > Identifiers > Service IDs > Sign In with Apple > Configure, then clicking Done > Continue > Save. I can confirm that : the redirect domains and URLs there are correct, and no mention of the former domain name is present I can still login using the former domain redirect urls (so my implementation is valid, but the configuration is not up to date) the new redirect urls are still not working as of now https is included in the redirect_urls, no trailing slash is present. again, the same URLs but with a different domain name were configured and worked (if anything, still work) properly TLS 1.3 connection (i know 1.2 is a requirement) Any advice would be welcome

Updated my iPhone--now none of my testflight builds appear! Please help!
I am a recently joined developer. However, I have 5 app builds, and 3 are in live in the App Store. I recently updated from iPhone 13 mini to iPhone 16e. I am logged into iCloud with my personal Apple ID, but in media & purchases, I am logged in with my Apple dev ID (email has my company domain). For some reason, only my oldest app build is visible in testflight on my iPhone. Logging in on MacBook, I see all 5 apps and current builds. Under testflight tab there, the correct group with my email (same as developer account ID) is listed as invited. Yet, none are visible in my iPhone testflight. Clicking on the invite email gives "Couldn't Load App This invitation cannot be accepted because your Apple Account, (redacted) has already been associated to this app." Does anyone, please, have any advice???

Developer account renew payment refused
Hi, We're trying to renew our subscription as we've always done before. But somehow all our credit cards were rejected. We've tried changing to different cards but with no success. The error message we get is: We are unable to complete your order. There was an issue processing your order. Verify that your information is correct and try again. If you need further assistance, contact us. If you'd please be so kind as to help us figure this out. We don't know what the issue is exactly. And we got an email saying: To avoid a delay in receiving your order, contact us via the Developer page to change your payment information. If after 4 days we're still unable to process your payment, your order will be canceled. You may contact your card provider to find more information. We've tried the developer app as suggested and that didn't work as well. We got the following error: We've sent a reply in the emails we got but there were no answers and every method you propose does not seem to tell us why 4 credit cards from 3 different countries were all rejected. Please, send us an explaination first as to why the payments were rejected and then what can we do to solve this ASAP Best regards Best regards.

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Application Not Processing (South Africa)
Hi Apple Developer Team, I’m a developer based in South Africa. I initially submitted my enrollment for the Apple Developer Program (Individual) last week Thursday (May 2nd, 2025). The enrollment was then withdrawn by Apple, asking me to re-apply - which I did. Unfortunately, the same issue persists. I entered valid payment details during the re-application. No payment has been deducted. The enroll button on the Apple Developer app remains disabled. It has now been 5 days without resolution. We’ve even gone to the extent of verifying our banking setup and confirming that our card is enabled for international payments. Out of frustration, I have now withdrawn all enrollment applications. Please advise on how I can proceed based on the Case ID I have submitted. This delay is affecting our iOS launch, and I would really appreciate guidance on the way forward. Thank you.
