We registered as a developer company (NGO) more than 50 days ago and it's still under review. We've already sent the documents, we've confirmed by phone, and every time we contact them we receive no information. They just tell us it's under review and there's no deadline for when this review will be completed. On the same day we registered with Apple, we registered with Google and our app has been published on Google for more than 30 days. We have no support or answers. Could someone help us to at least know a deadline for this review?

This app was developed with NFC functionality enabled, and distribution was intended to utilize the iOS app by replacing the provisioning profile and certificate issued under a separate Apple Developer account. However, since NFC cannot be enabled under the separate Apple Developer account, it is now required that the iOS app can be used with the standalone ipa file. If we create our own provisioning profile and certificate to enable standalone operation of the ipa file, we need to confirm where this might conflict with Apple's licenses or policies.

Hello , I need some help regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I purchased the Developer Program on December 3rd, 2025 at 16:03 (Turkey time). The payment was successfully processed by my bank, and I also received the official Apple Store receipt email confirming the purchase. However, my Developer account still shows: • “Purchase your membership” • “Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.” • Enrollment status: Pending • App Store Connect still not accessible It has now been more than 5 days, and the enrollment has not been activated. Here are the details: • Region: Turkey • Payment amount: 1029 TRY (local pricing for the Developer Program) • Payment status: Completed / Posted (not pending) • Case ID with Apple Support: 102769533427 • I have already opened a support case, but there has been no resolution yet. I would appreciate any guidance from others who experienced similar issues. Is this a known delay for Turkey-based accounts, or does it usually require manual activation by Apple Support? Any suggestions or insights would be very helpful. Thank you!

my apple dev membership expired, I can’t change anything so I went to support, case number 102637543521. They said it’s because I moved to a different country. I emailed them my proof of address then they stopped replying. Then I tried to start new support requests but nothing came back, I think I might be flagged by the system. i need the membership to publish apps pls help

We are Chengdu Wang Lida Technology Co., Ltd.. Over the past year, we invested tremendous time, effort, and resources to successfully launch our app on the App Store. However, despite spending a full year developing and finally getting our app approved, just one month after its launch, we suddenly received an email notifying us that our developer account had been suspended for one year due to a violation of Section 3.2(f) (fraudulent behavior). We are deeply confused and disappointed. As developers, we have never engaged in any fraudulent or misleading activities. We have always operated in full compliance with Apple’s Developer Program Agreement and platform guidelines. Our question is: who would deliberately engage in fraudulent behavior after spending an entire year developing and launching an app? What’s even more heart-wrenching is the impact this decision has had on our team. Due to the overwhelming pressure, our project leader suffered a sudden heart attack and was rushed to the ICU. As team members, we are devastated and feel the immense psychological and emotional toll this account suspension has caused. We are now calling on the Apple community and Apple Inc. to help us clarify this misunderstanding and resolve the issue. We firmly believe that such an arbitrary and unfounded account suspension decision should not be made. As developers, we should have the opportunity to communicate and clarify before such drastic actions are taken. We will be filing complaints against Apple’s inexplicable account suspension both on the developer forums and in the media. We will fight this inequality with all we have, and stand for fairness and justice. We are more than willing to cooperate with Apple, providing all the necessary evidence and data to prove that our actions were fully compliant. We sincerely request that Apple review our case and provide a reasonable explanation and solution. As a small development team, we have invested all of our money and effort into this app. It is not just our job; it is our dream. We cannot accept seeing our hard work destroyed by such a misunderstanding. We will continue to fight for fairness and justice, and we hope for a fair resolution. Thank you for your attention and support. We will continue to pursue all legal channels to ensure that our team and our product get the rights they deserve.

Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on Tuesday afternoon, November 11th, 2025. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership”. 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! — Ramesh

Problem I’m trying to implement Sign in with Apple in my application. However, when my app redirects to the Apple authorization page at: https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize I get an invalid_client error with no further explanation. Settings I followed this article closely: [https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/06/04/what-the-heck-is-sign-in-with-apple#generate-the-client-secret] Steps I have completed: Created an App ID and a Service ID on Apple Developer Portal. Enabled “Sign in with Apple” for both the App ID and the Service ID. Added my domain and callback URL to the Service ID configuration. (I'm using ngrok to proxy my localhost during development.) Linked an existing private key with “Sign in with Apple” capability. My identifiers: Service ID is used as client_id Team ID is taken from the top right of the Apple Developer dashboard Key ID is from the private key associated with the App Environment My backend is built with Laravel, and I'm using the [SocialiteProvider/Apple][https://socialiteproviders.com/Apple/#installation-basic-usage] library to handle the OAuth flow. I followed the recommended method to generate a client secret (JWT) for each request, using this blog post: [https://bannister.me/blog/generating-a-client-secret-for-sign-in-with-apple-on-each-request] My .env configuration looks like this: APPLE_CLIENT_ID=com.service.paxton.stockApp APPLE_TEAM_ID=25729642DK APPLE_KEY_ID=JFP9Q53ZCY APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY=storage/AppleDev-AuthKey_JFP9Q53ZCY.p8 JWT Generation I also tested generating the JWT using the Ruby script from the Okta article: [https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/06/04/what-the-heck-is-sign-in-with-apple#generate-the-client-secret] Here is the script I used: require 'jwt' key_file = './storage/AppleDev-AuthKey_JFP9Q53ZCY.p8' team_id = '25729642DK' client_id = 'com.service.paxton.stockObserve' key_id = 'JFP9Q53ZCY' ecdsa_key = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.new IO.read key_file headers = { 'kid' => key_id } claims = { 'iss' => team_id, 'iat' => Time.now.to_i, 'exp' => Time.now.to_i + 86400*180, 'aud' => 'https://appleid.apple.com', 'sub' => client_id, } token = JWT.encode claims, ecdsa_key, 'ES256', headers puts token This JWT validates correctly. I’ve also used Apple’s public key to verify the signature, and it passed. I verified the JWT header and payload format using this helpful article: [https://fluffy.es/how-to-solve-invalid_client-error-in-sign-in-with-apple/] Third-Party Testing To eliminate mistakes in my setup, I even tried a third-party tool featured in this YouTube video: [https://youtu.be/8v01TaX1EJA?si=0jOBGBVk0R0zbmdo] Unfortunately, the result was the same — invalid_client. Question I’ve double-checked everything I can think of: keys, claims, domain whitelist, identifiers. I even verified the JWT independently. If anyone (especially someone from Apple) can help identify the missing piece, I would be truly grateful.

in iOS 26.0 (23A5287g) - iPhone 15 Pro, I don't see search option in contact list. This gives hard time for user to search in the list of contacts.

Looking for advice: I've been automatically rejected from Apple's Developer Program without an explanation. Hi everyone, It seems I’ve hit a brick wall, so I’m reaching out to see if anyone here has experienced something similar to this or has any advice or resources to share. I recently attempted to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but my application was immediately denied after submission. Within one second of submitting my driver’s license, the app stated that Apple was unable to verify my identity and that I needed to reach out to Developer Support for further assistance. When I first contacted Developer Support for clarification, the representative was happy to help. After being taken off hold, she said she couldn't offer any more information, but assured me that I'd later receive an email with further details related to my account and next steps. However, instead of steps to resolve the issue, I received a denial email repeating the same message about being unable to verify my identity (screenshot attached). I’ve since spoken to multiple representatives and supervisors, and, while everyone was initially polite and understanding, it changed after I was taken off hold. Here’s what I’ve been told: The decision is final, and there is no possibility of escalation or appeal. The supervisors themselves, despite being the final decision makers, have no access to the specific reason for applicants’ denial and, thus, could not provide any additional details. I was also invited to join Apple's “Xcode program,” which I found out just means they’ll allow me to buy Xcode from the app store and use it without a developer account (I already do that). Every time a support representative reread the sentence about being “unable to verify [my] identity,” I responded by offering to provide additional forms of identification. However, that offer was never addressed. The last senior advisor I spoke with stated to me over the phone that: She was the highest authority on the matter. There was absolutely no way to escalate the issue further; it was 100% impossible. She physically did not have access to the reason for my denial. Neither she nor anyone else at Apple was able to offer further assistance. I asked this senior advisor to send me an email with the above points in writing, which she said she would do. However, the email I received was a virtual copy-paste of the email from the first support representative, stating the same few sentences verbatim. This has left me deeply confused, especially as no specific reason for denial has been shared, and since I was explicitly denied any opportunity to address (or even get information on) potential issues. I’d like to ask this community: Has anyone else experienced this sort of immediate rejection and/or a refusal to disclose the reason for that rejection? Are there specific guidelines or policies I may have unknowingly violated that I should review? If so, what could be the reason why they’re being withheld from me? Are there any resources or alternative channels I can explore to resolve this issue? I’m so thoroughly confused, and I’m genuinely at a loss with how to move forward. I appreciate any insight or guidance from this community. Thanks so much for taking the time to read! Best regards, David

This typo appears in a two docs I can find. Is there a better way to notify Apple about this, than making a post here> https://aninterestingwebsite.com/help/account/membership/program-enrollment/ https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/enterpriseprogramapi/users Also appears in some legacy docs, but that probably matters less: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/library/archive/documentation/LegacyTechnologies/WebObjects/WebObjects_4.0/System/Library/Frameworks/EOControl.framework/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/Reference/Java/EOControl.Java.pdf

We are developing an MDM solution. In addition to the cloud-based version, we are also developing an on-premises version of the MDM solution for organizations such as government agencies and other entities for whom using public cloud services is difficult. In such cases, regarding the "MDM vendor CSR certificate" to be included in the on-premises package: Would it be acceptable to use a certificate owned by our company (the MDM vendor)? Or would it be necessary for the client organization to prepare a new certificate themselves?

I have now registered twice and had no response from customer service. I see dozens of other people on the forum with the same issue. This needs to be resolved and someone from apple needs to speak up.

How do I convert screen pixels to points? I plan to use the points in the program to move the shape to the desired position.

We renew our company's Apple Developer Membership annually. According to the update date of November 17, 2025, it's stated that renewal can be done 30 days in advance, but the renewal button doesn't show up.

Each year I get my renewal email from Apple, however, since 2019 (yes, this is the 4th year in a row) I've been unable to renew due to this infamous "Please enter fewer characters" error message. Each time I've had to open a support case, talk to someone on the phone, they take all of my details along with screenshots, etc. and manually renew my subscription. Once they've charged my card I never hear from them again and issue never gets resolved. IDK if any Apple Dev Support folks actually use this forum but this is ridiculous.

Hello everyone, I am unable to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. The payment (credit card) is accepted by my bank but systematically declined by Apple. Note: I am located in France. I have tried multiple times. The support team, via email, suggested I use the Apple Developer app. However, it is "not available in my region," so I have to go through the website. No other payment method is available: Apple Pay is greyed out, and there is nothing else. Support has not responded for weeks, despite my follow-ups. I am very frustrated as I need to launch my app quickly, and everything is ready on the Google side... Would you have any suggestions or solutions? Thank you so much, your responses are greatly appreciated! Mélissa
