Here on the forums I see a lot of reports like this: According to App Store Connect, I’m an Admin member of a team, but I can’t access the Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles section of the Developer website for that team. There’s one really common reason for this, namely that this is an Individual team. This is clearly documented in Developer Account Help > Access > Roles and access, which says: If you’re enrolled as an individual and add users in App Store Connect, users receive access only to your content in App Store Connect and are not considered part of your team in the Apple Developer Program. So, if App Store Connect indicates that you’re a team Admin but you can’t access Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles, it’s critical that you check that this is not an Individual team. To do this: Log on to Developer > Account. Select the correct team at the top right. Scroll down to the “Membership details” section. Look at the “Enrolled as” field. If it says “Individual”, then only the team’s Account Holder can access Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles. OTOH, if it says something else, like “Organization” or “Enterprise”, then see below. If you’re working for someone else who only has an Individual team, I recommend that you encourage them to update to an Organization team. For advice on how to do that, see Developer Account Help > Membership > Updating your account information > Updating an individual membership to an organization membership. If you can’t access Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles and you’re absolutely sure that this is not an Individual team, I recommend that you seek formal assistance via Apple > Developer > Contact Us.

Dear Apple Team, I need your help resolving an issue that Apple Support has been unable to fix for over two months. Since February 2026, the Apple Developer app has rejected my identity verification every time I attempt to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. I have reached out to Apple Support repeatedly — by email and by phone — and have received no explanation for the failure and no workable solution. My case numbers from these interactions are: 102818147247 102838793176 102842518632 To be direct: I'm not intend to be aggressive, I just exhausted every normal support channel available to me. The responses I have received so far have been polite but ultimately ineffective — the same suggestions are repeated, and no one has investigated the underlying cause. This is not a minor inconvenience. I run PlayPatch Tech as an small team with iOS apps that are blocked from App Store submission entirely because of this enrollment failure. Every week this remains unresolved is a week of lost business. Relevant details: Enrollment type: Organization Device: iPad Pro & iPadOS 26.3.1(a) Government ID used: China ID Card Timeline: February 2026 – present Support contacts: Email 8 times, Call 6 times, they tried their best, but nothing worked. What I need: Someone with the authority and access to diagnose why verification is failing for my account specifically. An alternative verification path if the app-based method doesn't work. I would appreciate a response within 5 business days. I am available at any time and willing to provide whatever documentation is required. Regards, Neo PlayPatch Tech

Hi Team, I recently purchased a one-year Apple Developer Program membership but have not received a membership ID. Could you help me locate the details? I would also appreciate guidance on the steps to publish my app to the App Store from my local Mac.

Is there a way for me to persist my app usage that I can see 30 days worth under Screen Time indefinitely? I'd like to roll up monthly, quarterly, annual usage for mine and my kids devices.

Hello Apple Developer Support, My Apple Developer Program enrollment payment was completed on [2026-04-19], but approval has not been granted within the expected 48-hour window. This delay is blocking my development and release schedule, so I'd like to request a status review as soon as possible. Could you please: Confirm the current status of my enrollment Let me know if any additional verification is needed on my side Provide an estimated approval timeline registration ID: YC64M86BF2 If there is anything I can do to expedite the process, please let me know and I will respond immediately. Thank you. Best regards,

We have an open support case (Case ID: 102874259881) and Apple confirmed they received the documents and would follow up within two business days — but the account is still not activated. Could any Apple staff please escalate and activate account? Thank you

My Apple Developer Program membership expired on 15 April. I've been unable to renew through any of the standard routes: The account page at developer.apple.com shows no renewal option, just the expiry notice The Developer app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac shows no Renew button Going to the enrol page returns: "Sorry, you can't enrol at this time. Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership." So the account is expired but still flagged as having an active membership, meaning neither the renewal nor the re-enrol path works. I've raised a support ticket (Friday 18 April), attempted three phone calls with no success, and the callback system is now returning an error when I try to book a slot. Has anyone experienced this and found a resolution? I believe this needs a backend fix on Apple's side but I can't get through to anyone who can action it. Any advice appreciated, particularly if an Apple staff member is able to assist or escalate.

I paid for a developer account on Thursday 16th. Money was taken immediately. I’ve had ZERO communication. No emails, no messages. Nothing My account says ‘pending’ still after 5 days of waiting. Support is seemingly non-existent. Asked for a callback support request. They called and I was on hold for 90 minutes until eventually I had to go do something else. Is the level of service I should expect? What else is it that I should I be doing in order to get something in return for paying money?

Hi Support Team, I am writing regarding my enrollment which is currently showing as Pending. The payment of 99USD was from other Apple account, but the enrollment was submitted from my account. Case ID is 102866900911. Payment details: Date: 11 April 2026 Order ID: MT5786ZXVV Document: 716118431350 Could any Apple staff please activate my account? Thank you, Alisher

I renewed my membership today, April 20, 2026, which had previously expired on November 5, 2025. The payment of KRW 129,000 was successfully processed, and the credit card transaction has been approved. However, my account still shows the message "Your Apple Developer Program membership has expired," and the renewal has not been applied. I have tried various troubleshooting steps, including logging out and back in, and clearing my browser cache, but the issue persists. Could you please look into this and apply the renewal to my account?

I have an Apple account that was locked last September. I recently managed to log back in and renewed it, but I need to accept Apple's new policy. I've realized I've lost ownership, so I can't accept the new policy. What should I do now? I've emailed Apple and haven't received a reply for three weeks.

I purchased my Apple Developer program on April 16, 2026. It’s been 4 days now, and my status is still stuck on "Pending." What’s worse is that the system is now prompting me to make the payment again. I know many of us are experiencing this exact same issue right now. I am from Thailand, so I decided to make a phone call to the Apple Developer support team to get this sorted out. They told me that due to a massive volume of requests, it might take a very long time to approve. They promised to "expedite" my process, but completely failed to provide any specific timeframe or even an estimated date of approval. Honestly, it felt like the support agent was just reading from a script to calm me down without actually offering any real help—they didn't even ask for my Order Number to check my case! Based on how this is being handled, I strongly believe that anyone reading this who is stuck in the same situation might have to endure this problem for months. Has anyone actually gotten their account approved recently?

I paid by mistake twice for the developer account. The website does not tell you if your account is approved and I thought the payment had not gone through, so I paid twice and my account still not active, anyone has had this problem?

Hi! I'm a first-time app founder trying to enroll my business in the Apple Developer Program as an Organization. I already have a personal Apple ID, so I'm trying to create a separate, brand new Apple Account using my business email for the enrollment. Every time I complete the account creation form and go through the verification code step, I get the error: 'Your account cannot be created at this time.' Things I've already tried: Personal cell phone number for verification A Google Voice number for verification Different browsers The Apple Developer app Different WiFi networks I only have one iPhone and one cell number, both already tied to my personal Apple ID. My D&B DUNS number is confirmed, the only blocker is creating this new Apple Account. Is there a known solution for this? It seems like it must be a common situation for small business owners who use one device for both personal and business. Any help appreciated!

Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on April 12th, 2026. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” I think the reason my account is still stuck is because I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program using one Apple ID and completed the payment using a different Apple ID (the subscription is currently active under this account) It’s now been several days, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information. I already contacted Apple Support by email, but I’d like to know if other developers have experienced the same situation and how long it took before their account was activated. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback!

I am unable to update my apps because of Apple Developer License Agreement. I am told that I have to agree, yet I have agreed to every agreement available. When I log in my Developer Account there is no pending agreement either for free apps or Paid apps. The most recent one I agreed on April 6, 2026. I have logged out and in again multiple times. I tried to change the Account Holder to see if I get to agree on the agreement again but that did not help either. I have remained stuck and can't update any one of my apps since I get the error: "The Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been updated and needs to be reviewed. For more information, go to your account on the Apple Developer website." I have tried to reach out to Apple Support but no help was given. Can anyone please help? Much appreciated.

Good morning. I have an APPLE DEVELOPER ACCOUNT. I am inquiring about Distributing In House Apps using my own website. All the links so far do not help. They all seem to be relevant to the Apple Store and not In House apps. I have my apps ready for evaluation. I understand you need to evaluate them. I want to apply for a certificate that will allow me to put the apps on my OWN website and have users download these and install to their Apple devices. So far I have been testing using own devices but every build I create does NOT create a manifest file. They do work but obviously I need a manifest for the website. I assume a relevant certificate would provide that. Can you please let me know of any and all information that applies on how to apply for an In House Distribution Certificate and how and where I should upload my apps for evaluation. Thank you so much. John

Title: iOS Local Network Discovery (UDP Multicast / SSDP) Not Working – Works on Android Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with local network device discovery on iOS. The same implementation works perfectly on Android, but fails (or behaves inconsistently) on iOS. What I’m trying to do I am building a React Native app that discovers Wi-Fi audio devices (Arylic / Linkplay-based speakers) on the same local network. The discovery flow: Send SSDP (UDP multicast) M-SEARCH request to 239.255.255.250:1900 Listen for device responses Fetch device description via HTTP (LOCATION header) Parse and store discovered devices What works ✅ Android: Device discovery works reliably (multiple devices detected) ❌ iOS: No devices are discovered (or discovery is very inconsistent) iOS Configuration I have already added the required permissions in Info.plist: NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription NSBonjourServices (including _http._tcp, _airplay._tcp, _spotify-connect._tcp, etc.) NSAppTransportSecurity with local network exceptions The app correctly prompts for Local Network permission, and permission is granted. Implementation Details Using UDP sockets (react-native-udp) Joining multicast group: 239.255.255.250 Sending SSDP M-SEARCH requests every few seconds Listening for responses via socket on('message') Observed Behavior on iOS UDP socket initializes successfully No errors thrown No SSDP responses received devices array remains empty HTTP-based direct calls to known device IPs work fine Additional Notes The same network, same devices, same code works on Android iOS device is on the same Wi-Fi network Tried both real device and simulator (expected simulator limitations) Questions Is UDP multicast (SSDP) restricted or unreliable on iOS for third-party apps? Are there additional entitlements required to receive multicast responses? Is there any official Apple-recommended approach for discovering LAN devices (other than Bonjour)? Is this a known limitation of iOS networking stack? As a fallback, I’m considering scanning the local subnet via HTTP requests, but that’s less efficient compared to SSDP. Any guidance or clarification from Apple engineers or others who have faced similar issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on April 15th and the $99 payment was successfully charged to my card (confirmed completed in my bank, not pending). However, 3 days later my account at developer.apple.com/account still shows the "Purchase your membership" banner asking me to pay again. Apple's own page says "Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process" but it has been well past that. When I try to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get this error: "Unable to find a team with the given Team ID S3v98Z34Dh to which you belong. Please contact Apple Developer Program Support." I already submitted a support case via the "Send us a message" form under Membership and Account > Program Purchase and Renewal, but haven't received any response yet. Has anyone experienced this? Is there another way to escalate this or get it resolved faster? I need the account for Sign in with Apple integration and I'm blocked on this. Thanks for any help.
