Apple Legal closed IP case, App Review Board terminated account for same issue one week later, earned proceeds frozen
I am posting this because I have exhausted every internal channel over the past month and have not received substantive answers to basic questions about the release of my earned proceeds. Timeline: July 2026 — An IP complaint was filed against my app. Apple opened an investigation. July 29, 2026 — I voluntarily removed the app from sale in all 175 territories before Apple asked me to. I also changed the app name, icon, tagline, screenshots, and website. August 4, 2026 — Apple's App Store Notices team closed the matter, writing: "We trust this resolves your concerns and consider this matter closed at this time." August 11, 2026 — I received a Pending Termination Notice citing Section 3.2(f) for the same issue that was closed one week earlier. August 12, 2026 — A member of Apple's App Store Notices team confirmed by email: "Our team did not initiate any action against your account." August 13, 2026 — App Review Board rejected my appeal. The team that investigated the matter for a month closed it as resolved. A different team terminated my account for the same issue seven days later. I have documented correspondence from both teams confirming these facts. Regarding earned proceeds: App Store Connect currently shows approximately $43,000 USD and €857 EUR in earned proceeds marked as "Balance Carried Forward." These are from completed transactions by real customers who purchased subscriptions and received the service they paid for. The refund rate was low and no chargebacks were filed. I have contacted iTunes Finance, Developer Support, and Apple Executive Relations. iTunes Finance stated on August 28 that the account is under review for "irregular activity" but has not responded to three separate requests asking what documentation is needed to complete that review. My questions for the community and any Apple representatives: Has anyone experienced a situation where Apple Legal closed an IP matter and then App Review terminated the account for the same issue? What is the standard process and timeline for the release of earned proceeds after account termination? Apple's agreement (Schedule 2, Section 7.1) provides for a temporary hold period to cover refunds and chargebacks, but does not appear to authorize indefinite retention. Has anyone successfully received their earned proceeds after termination, and how long did it take? Is there a specific team within Apple that handles the release of earned proceeds separately from the account termination decision? I have submitted multiple appeals through the App Review Board form, Developer Support has filed an appeal on my behalf, and I have submitted a detailed improvement plan with specific compliance commitments. I have also offered to provide full identity verification and to convert to an Organization account. I am not asking the community to take sides on the termination itself. I am asking for practical information about the proceeds release process, because Apple's internal teams have not provided it despite repeated requests over the past month.

Cannot accept Apple Developer Agreement — ErrorCode -21050 "state province cd should not be greater than 32"
I am unable to accept the Apple Developer Agreement. Every attempt fails server-side with the same error. A request is already open with Apple Developer Program Support (case 102955759789); I am posting here in parallel because the failure looks like a data problem on the account record that support may need internal help to reach. What happens: On https://developer.apple.com/register/agree/?path=%2Faccount%2F I click Agree. The POST to /services-register/registerDeveloper (payload: agreementId plus receiveEmails) returns HTTP 200 with: resultCode: 25000 resultString: "DS internal exception occurred. ErrorCode: -21050 ErrorMessage: state province cd should not be greater than 32" responseId: 08447485-8e67-447e-a316-7c520926ed1a creationTimestamp: 2026-09-07T14:17:00Z The same error appears in the UI as a modal dialog, and also occurs in the Apple Developer app for macOS. What I have already checked: Reproducible in a private window and across browsers, so it is not a cached-session issue. The request body contains no address data, so there is nothing malformed on the client side. The rejected value appears to already be stored on the account record. I am signing in with a Managed Apple Account provisioned by my organisation. I cannot inspect or correct my address myself: account.apple.com returns UnsupportedAccountTypeForWeb_IsManagedAppleId for the personal information section. Access to Apple Developer Program resources has already been granted for my account in Apple Business Manager. My organisation has an active Apple Developer Program membership as an organisation. I only need to join the existing team, not to enrol. Apple Developer Program Support case 102955759789 is open, with no resolution so far. My questions: Which field on the account record does "state province cd" map to for a Managed Apple Account — the address of the assigned Apple Business Manager location, or an attribute synced from our identity provider? Knowing this would let our administrator fix the source instead of guessing. Given that the value cannot be edited by the user on a managed account, can this record be corrected on Apple's side, or case 102955759789 escalated to the Developer Program team? Thanks.

Apple Developer Enrollment Payment Error for Kosovo – Invalid State/Region Value '1549'
Hello, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program from Kosovo, but I am unable to complete the payment. Every time I try to complete the purchase, I receive the following error: “We are unable to complete your order. There was an issue when we processed your order. An invalid value '1549' was provided for State, Province, or Region.” My details are: Country/Region: Kosovo State/Province/Region: Kosovo Region (selected from the available dropdown option) I have checked and re-entered my information multiple times, and everything appears to be correct. However, I receive the same error every time I try to complete the payment. I have also seen other developers from Kosovo reporting the same issue with the “1549” State/Province/Region value. Has anyone from Kosovo managed to solve this issue or found a workaround? I would really appreciate any help or advice, as I need to complete my Apple Developer Program enrollment to publish my apps. Thank you!

Apple packages fail to build for watchOS in Xcode 27
Is there a known workaround (other than forking) for watchOS builds in Xcode 27 that depend on packages without a declared watchOS 9.0 floor? I depend on several Apple SPM packages with no minimum deployment target, such as https://github.com/apple/swift-algorithms. My project's minimum is 26.0. Xcode 27 will not build watchOS targets with these packages because watchOS 8.0 is below its range of supported targets. /.../SourcePackages/checkouts/swift-algorithms/Package.swift The watchOS Simulator deployment target 'WATCHOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 8.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 9.0 to 27.0.x.

Attributes inspector in Xcode 26
It has been two years since I wrote my a SwiftUI app, and I wanted to start again in Xcode 26. I can no longer see the attributes inspector when I select an element in the canvas. This was an Xcode feature that was very helpful as I am still a novice. Has this feature been deprecated in Xcode 26? And if not, please help explain how I can find and use it.

MacOS 27 EULA: Written agreement to run more than 2 VMs per machine?
The language in the new EULA seems to indicate we can get permission to run more than 2 VMs on a single host. "(iii) except as otherwise provided in writing, signed, or issued by an authorized representative of Apple, to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software, or any prior macOS or OS X operating system software or subsequent release of the Apple Software, within virtual operating system environments on each Apple-branded computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software development; (b) testing during software development; (c) using macOS Server; or (d) personal, non-commercial use." This is important because we often have use-cases that require running docker containers and other Virtualization tools along-side of two VMs on the host and obviously cant. What's the steps we can take to get written permission for this? Thank you!

Apple Developer Program enrollment stuck after successful $99 payment — Case 102953372323
My Apple Developer Program enrollment has been unresolved for approximately two weeks. Apple Developer Support has confirmed that my first USD 99 payment was successfully processed. My enrollment is blocked because Apple requests a Kazakhstan National ID card. I am a Russian citizen and therefore cannot possess a Kazakhstan National ID card. I have a valid Russian passport and a Kazakhstan IIN and have repeatedly requested an alternative identity verification method. I have received no resolution, and the support case page no longer provides me with a way to send a message or request help. I would appreciate it if Apple Developer Support could review Case 102953372323 and either provide an alternative verification method or refund the USD 99 payment.

Enrollment Blocked: "Identity Cannot Be Confirmed" - Support Says Decision is Final
Hello, I'm hoping to find a solution for a persistent enrollment issue and would appreciate any advice from the community. For several months, I have been unable to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. The automated system rejected my application, stating my identity could not be verified. This first occurred in December 2023. I have contacted Apple Support and spoken with a Senior Advisor. I explained that I am willing to provide any documentation needed to verify my identity (passport, driver's license, etc.), but was told this was not possible. The advisor stated the decision from the automated system is final and the issue cannot be escalated or resolved. This has put my app, which is fully developed and ready for submission, on indefinite hold. Has anyone else encountered this specific "identity verification" block where support states the decision is final? Is there a known workaround, a different department to contact, or any other path to get this reviewed by a human? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Unable to verify my identity for Apple Developer account enrollment
Initially, I had some issues enrolling in the individual Apple developer program. Then, I contacted support via email, and they finally requested that I verify my identity. I submitted my national ID for verification and then received an email stating that my identity was verified. After that, I tried to enroll in the Apple developer program, but the issue persisted even after they instructed me to proceed. Subsequently, I received an email stating that my identity was not verified. Here is the exact wording from the email: "We can’t verify your identity with the Apple Developer app or provide further assistance with the Apple Account for Apple developer programs." After that, I tried to reach support several times, but there has been no response from them.

Identity verification blocked — says "already verified on a different Apple Account" but I've only ever had ONE Apple ID (Case 20000143970410)
Hello, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program (Individual) for the first time, but I'm completely stuck at the identity verification step. The Apple Developer app / Developer Support tells me my identity was "already verified using a different Apple Account." However, I have only ever had ONE Apple ID (used continuously since my iPhone 5s, through my iPhone 7, and now my iPhone 13 and Mac — same email the entire time). I have never created, accessed, or verified identity on any other Apple Account. I contacted Developer Support (case 20000143970410). Two advisors, including a Senior Advisor, confirmed the block but said there is no manual override available, no team that can view or share info about the other account, and no way to resolve this on their end. They have since closed my case. Given that I've never had another Apple ID, this seems to be either: A system error incorrectly matching my identity to someone else's account, or Someone else using my personal identity documents to verify a different Apple Account without my knowledge. Has anyone experienced this exact situation and found a resolution? Could a moderator please take a look at case 20000143970410? Thank you in advance for any help.

Unable to Access Organization Developer Account – “Join Now” Appears
Our organization has an active Apple Developer membership, but since last month, we’ve been unable to access our team information or manage certificates. Our apps are still active in App Store Connect, but we cannot update them. On the Developer account page, a “Join Now” button appears, but clicking it results in the message: “Your Apple Account is already associated with the account holder of a membership.” Additionally, this account was originally registered with an older email when it was used to create a personal developer account in 2015—nearly 10 years ago. We do not know if this is causing the issue. We have contacted Apple many times but no reply within one month. Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Your enrollment is being Pending
Hello, I hope you’re doing well. I enrolled in the Dev program and completed the payment on August 5, but I have still not received confirmation of my enrollment. The information indicated that the payment and enrollment confirmation would be processed within 48 hours, so I’m following up as it has now been several weeks. I would appreciate your help in resolving this as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

XCode 27b6 XCUITest clone simulators not visible in Device Hub (No Show Parallel Testing Devices)
Tried to execute our XCUITest test suite with XCode 27b6. The test plan is set to run in parallel. When executing tests locally with XCode 26, I can see the clone simulators executing the test (which is useful for debugging the test). With XCode 27b6 and Device Hub, I do not see the clone simulators executing, nor do I see a setting or menu item in Device Hub to show those clone simulators. There is no equivalent to the "Show Parallel Testing Devices" menu item in the XCode 26 sim. Am I missing something or is this a regression in XCode 27?

Xcode's Background Assets Run scheme option
I just saw the following in the Xcode 27 release notes: Xcode can now serve asset packs to your app while debugging on devices by setting a Background Asset Packs folder in the Run scheme action’s Options tab. (165230494) And sure enough, the option is there. But what do I need to point this to? I tried everything: the path to the built .aar asset pack the path to the .json manifest file the path to the download-manifest.json (for self-hosted asset packs) the path to the directory that actually contains the assets (as also referenced by the manifest file) the path to the directory that contains the manifest file and the asset directory. Nothing works. I always get the same errors on the console: Checking for updates failed: DecodingError.dataCorrupted: Data was corrupted. Debug description: The given data was not valid JSON.. Underlying error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Unexpected end of file" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Unexpected end of file} The asset pack with the ID “MyID” couldn’t be looked up: DecodingError.dataCorrupted: Data was corrupted. Debug description: The given data was not valid JSON.. Underlying error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Unexpected end of file" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Unexpected end of file} The manifest couldn’t be refreshed: DecodingError.dataCorrupted: Data was corrupted. Debug description: The given data was not valid JSON.. Underlying error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Unexpected end of file" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Unexpected end of file} I'm testing on a physical iPhone. Any advice would be appreciated!

Software Update Required" loops/fails when connecting iPhone 12 (iOS 27 RC) to Mac (Tahoe 26.6.2)
Hi everyone, I am encountering an issue where I cannot connect my iPhone 12 to my Mac. Environment:Mac: macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 iPhone: iPhone 12 running iOS 27 RC Problem:When I connect the iPhone to the Mac via USB, a dialog pops up stating, "A software update is required to connect to your iPhone. "I clicked "Install," but the download progress bar gets stuck at "Downloading 1 item...". After a short wait, it fails with the following error message: "Installation failed. Can’t install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. "As a result, the iPhone 12 does not appear in Finder or Xcode.Notes:Internet and Safari connections work normally on both devices. I can log into my ADP account via Safari without issues. In the past, this "Software Update" prompt succeeded smoothly with older iOS updates. Has anyone else experienced this with iPhone12 & iOS 27RC on macOS Tahoe? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not able to turn on iCloud Drive sync in iOS 27 Simulator
Hello, Turning on iCloud Drive sync does not work in iOS 27 simulators. When I sign into an iCloud account and try to enable it by tapping the switch in the iCloud Drive settings within the iCloud account area of Settings, the switch doesn't stay on and the feature is never enabled. I don't get an error or anything telling me what's going on. Anyone else seeing this? When I create a new simulator for iPhone 26.5 it seems to work fine just as before. I've tested this with Xcode 26.6 17F113 and Xcode 27 RC 27A266a.

Can I enroll a company after my individual enrollment was declined?
Hi, guys, I have a question about enrolling as an Organization. My previous Apple Developer Program enrollment as an Individual was declined. I’m now planning to set up a U.S. company for my app business. Once the company is properly registered and has everything Apple requires, such as a D-U-N-S Number and company website, can I still enroll the company as an Organization using my own identity and be the Account Holder? I’m not trying to get around the previous decision. I just want to know whether the decision on my Individual enrollment also prevents me from representing my own company in an Organization enrollment. Also, if I’m allowed to do this, should I use my current Apple Account or a different one? Thanks for any clarification.

Apple Developer Enrollment Payment Error for Kosovo – Invalid State/Region Value '1549'
Hello, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program from Kosovo, but I am unable to complete the payment. Every time I try to complete the purchase, I receive the following error: “We are unable to complete your order. There was an issue when we processed your order. An invalid value '1549' was provided for State, Province, or Region.” My details are: Country/Region: Kosovo State/Province/Region: Kosovo Region (selected from the available dropdown option) I have checked and re-entered my information multiple times, and everything appears to be correct. However, I receive the same error every time I try to complete the payment. I have also seen other developers from Kosovo reporting the same issue with the “1549” State/Province/Region value. Has anyone from Kosovo managed to solve this issue or found a workaround? I would really appreciate any help or advice, as I need to complete my Apple Developer Program enrollment to publish my apps. Thank you!

MacOS 27 EULA: Written agreement to run more than 2 VMs per machine?

Apple Developer Program enrollment stuck after successful $99 payment — Case 102953372323
My Apple Developer Program enrollment has been unresolved for approximately two weeks. Apple Developer Support has confirmed that my first USD 99 payment was successfully processed. My enrollment is blocked because Apple requests a Kazakhstan National ID card. I am a Russian citizen and therefore cannot possess a Kazakhstan National ID card. I have a valid Russian passport and a Kazakhstan IIN and have repeatedly requested an alternative identity verification method. I have received no resolution, and the support case page no longer provides me with a way to send a message or request help. I would appreciate it if Apple Developer Support could review Case 102953372323 and either provide an alternative verification method or refund the USD 99 payment.

Enrollment Blocked: "Identity Cannot Be Confirmed" - Support Says Decision is Final
Hello, I'm hoping to find a solution for a persistent enrollment issue and would appreciate any advice from the community. For several months, I have been unable to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. The automated system rejected my application, stating my identity could not be verified. This first occurred in December 2023. I have contacted Apple Support and spoken with a Senior Advisor. I explained that I am willing to provide any documentation needed to verify my identity (passport, driver's license, etc.), but was told this was not possible. The advisor stated the decision from the automated system is final and the issue cannot be escalated or resolved. This has put my app, which is fully developed and ready for submission, on indefinite hold. Has anyone else encountered this specific "identity verification" block where support states the decision is final? Is there a known workaround, a different department to contact, or any other path to get this reviewed by a human? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Unable to verify my identity for Apple Developer account enrollment
Initially, I had some issues enrolling in the individual Apple developer program. Then, I contacted support via email, and they finally requested that I verify my identity. I submitted my national ID for verification and then received an email stating that my identity was verified. After that, I tried to enroll in the Apple developer program, but the issue persisted even after they instructed me to proceed. Subsequently, I received an email stating that my identity was not verified. Here is the exact wording from the email: "We can’t verify your identity with the Apple Developer app or provide further assistance with the Apple Account for Apple developer programs." After that, I tried to reach support several times, but there has been no response from them.

Identity verification blocked — says "already verified on a different Apple Account" but I've only ever had ONE Apple ID (Case 20000143970410)
Hello, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program (Individual) for the first time, but I'm completely stuck at the identity verification step. The Apple Developer app / Developer Support tells me my identity was "already verified using a different Apple Account." However, I have only ever had ONE Apple ID (used continuously since my iPhone 5s, through my iPhone 7, and now my iPhone 13 and Mac — same email the entire time). I have never created, accessed, or verified identity on any other Apple Account. I contacted Developer Support (case 20000143970410). Two advisors, including a Senior Advisor, confirmed the block but said there is no manual override available, no team that can view or share info about the other account, and no way to resolve this on their end. They have since closed my case. Given that I've never had another Apple ID, this seems to be either: A system error incorrectly matching my identity to someone else's account, or Someone else using my personal identity documents to verify a different Apple Account without my knowledge. Has anyone experienced this exact situation and found a resolution? Could a moderator please take a look at case 20000143970410? Thank you in advance for any help.

Unable to Access Organization Developer Account – “Join Now” Appears
Our organization has an active Apple Developer membership, but since last month, we’ve been unable to access our team information or manage certificates. Our apps are still active in App Store Connect, but we cannot update them. On the Developer account page, a “Join Now” button appears, but clicking it results in the message: “Your Apple Account is already associated with the account holder of a membership.” Additionally, this account was originally registered with an older email when it was used to create a personal developer account in 2015—nearly 10 years ago. We do not know if this is causing the issue. We have contacted Apple many times but no reply within one month. Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Your enrollment is being Pending
Hello, I hope you’re doing well. I enrolled in the Dev program and completed the payment on August 5, but I have still not received confirmation of my enrollment. The information indicated that the payment and enrollment confirmation would be processed within 48 hours, so I’m following up as it has now been several weeks. I would appreciate your help in resolving this as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

XCode 27b6 XCUITest clone simulators not visible in Device Hub (No Show Parallel Testing Devices)
Tried to execute our XCUITest test suite with XCode 27b6. The test plan is set to run in parallel. When executing tests locally with XCode 26, I can see the clone simulators executing the test (which is useful for debugging the test). With XCode 27b6 and Device Hub, I do not see the clone simulators executing, nor do I see a setting or menu item in Device Hub to show those clone simulators. There is no equivalent to the "Show Parallel Testing Devices" menu item in the XCode 26 sim. Am I missing something or is this a regression in XCode 27?

Xcode's Background Assets Run scheme option
I just saw the following in the Xcode 27 release notes: Xcode can now serve asset packs to your app while debugging on devices by setting a Background Asset Packs folder in the Run scheme action’s Options tab. (165230494) And sure enough, the option is there. But what do I need to point this to? I tried everything: the path to the built .aar asset pack the path to the .json manifest file the path to the download-manifest.json (for self-hosted asset packs) the path to the directory that actually contains the assets (as also referenced by the manifest file) the path to the directory that contains the manifest file and the asset directory. Nothing works. I always get the same errors on the console: Checking for updates failed: DecodingError.dataCorrupted: Data was corrupted. Debug description: The given data was not valid JSON.. Underlying error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Unexpected end of file" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Unexpected end of file} The asset pack with the ID “MyID” couldn’t be looked up: DecodingError.dataCorrupted: Data was corrupted. Debug description: The given data was not valid JSON.. Underlying error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Unexpected end of file" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Unexpected end of file} The manifest couldn’t be refreshed: DecodingError.dataCorrupted: Data was corrupted. Debug description: The given data was not valid JSON.. Underlying error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Unexpected end of file" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Unexpected end of file} I'm testing on a physical iPhone. Any advice would be appreciated!

Software Update Required" loops/fails when connecting iPhone 12 (iOS 27 RC) to Mac (Tahoe 26.6.2)
Hi everyone, I am encountering an issue where I cannot connect my iPhone 12 to my Mac. Environment:Mac: macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 iPhone: iPhone 12 running iOS 27 RC Problem:When I connect the iPhone to the Mac via USB, a dialog pops up stating, "A software update is required to connect to your iPhone. "I clicked "Install," but the download progress bar gets stuck at "Downloading 1 item...". After a short wait, it fails with the following error message: "Installation failed. Can’t install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. "As a result, the iPhone 12 does not appear in Finder or Xcode.Notes:Internet and Safari connections work normally on both devices. I can log into my ADP account via Safari without issues. In the past, this "Software Update" prompt succeeded smoothly with older iOS updates. Has anyone else experienced this with iPhone12 & iOS 27RC on macOS Tahoe? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not able to turn on iCloud Drive sync in iOS 27 Simulator
Hello, Turning on iCloud Drive sync does not work in iOS 27 simulators. When I sign into an iCloud account and try to enable it by tapping the switch in the iCloud Drive settings within the iCloud account area of Settings, the switch doesn't stay on and the feature is never enabled. I don't get an error or anything telling me what's going on. Anyone else seeing this? When I create a new simulator for iPhone 26.5 it seems to work fine just as before. I've tested this with Xcode 26.6 17F113 and Xcode 27 RC 27A266a.

Can I enroll a company after my individual enrollment was declined?
Hi, guys, I have a question about enrolling as an Organization. My previous Apple Developer Program enrollment as an Individual was declined. I’m now planning to set up a U.S. company for my app business. Once the company is properly registered and has everything Apple requires, such as a D-U-N-S Number and company website, can I still enroll the company as an Organization using my own identity and be the Account Holder? I’m not trying to get around the previous decision. I just want to know whether the decision on my Individual enrollment also prevents me from representing my own company in an Organization enrollment. Also, if I’m allowed to do this, should I use my current Apple Account or a different one? Thanks for any clarification.
