Desperate for our license renewal
We requested our renewal almost 4 weeks ago. No status updates at all. When we've asked support, we get "It's been escalated" and that we just have to wait. We have quite a large number of people who can't do their work as a result and it's causing a major impact. Is there ANYONE at @apple that can help push our renewal through? Anyone???

Developer Program pending for a week
Hi there, Last week i was finally able to get through and purchase my membership for the Apple Developer Program. The problem is, even though I already paid, it keeps saying: "Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now, Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process." I've tried to reach out to apple developer support numerous times, but no reply whatsoever... What do i do at this point?

The adventure to become a developer
I think from January 2025 I'm trying to become a developer for apple. The process was an adventure. First time I used the website to become a registered developer. All good until i wasn't able to make any inputs in a disabled required field that was required but empty. I said ok, I'll try to use their support to guide me. After couple of mails I've understood that those answers were like: "sorry for inconvenience but try again maybe you didn't do something as expected". I've restarted the process many times and did tried, nothing worked. So... go back to email with support (note, there is no quick reply, sometimes it takes near a week or so to respond: and the response is "try again, sorry to hear that, let us know if we can help you") After a month or so i got an email that told me to use the application to enroll. So I decided to use it. So I've canceled my active enroll and moved to the device. My iPad Pro didn't worked, so I moved to MacBook Pro and tried from there with the Developer App. Didn't work.... Go back to email support. After a while they told me that is an issue with my card and they can't get my money from it, (is the same that I'm using on their store to buy app and it works without any issue). After another months spent on emails (copule because of their response timing, maximum 2 reply each week) and after I said I'll do my best to find someone from their management to let them know the nightmare that I'm forced to live with the support team, they said let me call you. They called me and their tool for remote view desktop didn't worked so it was like, do this, do that, I did, I did, I tried...ok let's try one more time and don't touch anything after. I did what they said and they told me that I'll be contacted soon. 2-3 days I waited for the call and...nothing... I did sent reply email support to understand the status of enrollment. I got this: " Thanks for your message. I will be happy to provide a status update. Your orders have not been successful. I am trying once again today. Since it is Friday, it will take a little longer to process. I will check on it again on Monday, when we are back in the office. Kind regards, " And today is Tuesday and nothing... I did asked also if you can't take my money just let me know the error that you receive so I'll be able to contact card issuer and ask to verify if that is an issue with it. I did asked and they told me they don't see any issue. Now I'm stuck,,,, Do I need to contact Tim just to open a developer account? I think he's busy with more important stuff. @support

Apple Develeoper Account Creation issue
Hi, I'm new to apple, I'm planning to deploy an app in the apple app Store... for this process to be done I've created apple developer account through an iPhone, when following the steps.. it asked to enter DUNS number as I'm business not individual, I've entered it but shown a DUNS number mis match notice when submit, so I tapped back and selected individual and accepted terms and conditions(just to check if it is working), now it was fixed for individual account(can't change), but I need organisation registration, please help me out somebody. There will be pooja goods sales in the app, so the individual account is sufficient or should be as organisation?

Signature Validation Issue in Apple Notifications V2 Webhooks
I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue we are encountering while implementing Apple V2 webhook notifications on our platform. We are currently unable to authorize the token due to signature verification issues. We are unclear about the expected signature and how to validate it correctly. Additionally, we observed that the kid (Key ID), which was available in the header in Apple Pay V1 and used to retrieve the public key, is no longer present in the V2 webhook headers. We have already reviewed the official documentation here: Apple Server Notifications V2, but it does not clarify how to handle the signature validation or proceed. We would appreciate any guidance or documentation that could help us complete this integration successfully. Thank you for your support

Urgent: Unable to Complete Apple Developer Program Enrollment – No Response from Support
Hello Community, A few years ago, I attempted to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but the process was blocked with the following error message: "Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." As a developer, I regularly help businesses and individuals set up their Apple developer accounts, and I’ve never encountered this issue with any of my clients—only on my own personal account. I’ve since discovered that others have faced this problem too, but none seem to have found a working solution. I’ve sent multiple emails to Apple Support and I have yet to receive a single response. This matter is extremely urgent for me. If anyone has experienced this issue and successfully resolved it, please share your solution. I’d greatly appreciate any insight. Thank you.

Requesting Refund for Unintended Apple Developer Program Renewal
Hi everyone, I just noticed that my subscription to the Apple Developer Program was automatically renewed, but we’re currently not using it and had no plans to continue the subscription. I didn’t intend to renew and would like to request a full refund for the recent charge. I’ve submitted a message through the official support channel, but I’m posting here as well in case anyone has experienced something similar or can guide me on how long the refund process usually takes. Would really appreciate any advice or insights from the community or Apple staff. Thanks in advance!

Is there any way of automating Apple Pay certificate generation in a CI/CD pipeline?
Hi everyone! I’m trying to automate the Apple Pay setup in a CI/CD pipeline for a preproduction environment. Right now, we are generating manually the Apple Pay certificates for both the root domain and merchant ID through the Apple Developer Portal, then manually upload them to our preproduction servers. My idea is to be able to automate this process for this environment. I’ve been digging through docs and forums but haven’t found any way to generate or renew these certificates automatically via an API or any other method. Does anyone know if Apple offers something like this? Or if not, what’s the best way to handle this in an automated workflow? I've been thinking about a web driver, but I'm not a big fan of this kind of solution. Thanks a lot for any ideas or advice!

Applying for Developer Program outside of supported regions
Hello, I'm currently living in Finland and would like to apply for the developer program in order to develop an app for the Apple Vision Pro. I understand that Finland is not supported in this matter, so I thought about making an German AppleID, since that is supported in the AVP App Store, and enroll in the program with that. The problem is that, since I'm not a German citizen nor have a residency there, would that cause a problem in the identity verification process? Is this allowed at all? If not, are there any workarounds to be able to get the developer account outside of supported regions? Thank you!

PKPASS is updated but the client but push is not showing on the device
Good day) I am developing an application for generating PKPASS in Java. PKPASS itself is generated and installed on the device and updated. But I encountered a problem. When sending information about the update to the APNs service, PKPASS is updated, but the push notification is not shown on the device. On the device, all tooltypes are set to receive the update. As well as the basic settings: We go to the APNs service using = JWT token. "apns-push-type"= "alert" "apns-topic" = PassTypeIdentifier payload = {} I would also like to add that we send push notifications to the production environment. P. S. Six months ago, push notifications came

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.

Developer Program membership
Yesterday I paid for my developer account the way I pay for Apple Music and iCloud every month. I received an email that the payment was successful. But my account still looks unpaid. Now if I try to click the renew active button in the Developer app I get a message that my developer account is already subscribed. Last time I was told in technical support that the payment was made for another developer account, but I paid for my account while logged in with my apple id. I ask you to resolve this issue so that my account becomes active.

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

Which field in the data returned by Weatherkit interface displays the user's weather description? The official only provides that ConditionCode is an enumerated weather type
I found that only ConditionCode in the current Weather is a field related to weather description, but it is just an enumeration of weather predictions. I want to present different weather descriptions to users in different languages.What should I display to the user based on?

Enrollment Blocked for Near 2 Months – (Case #102640946883 and Case #102649610325)
We’ve been trying to complete enrollment in the Apple Developer Program as a UK-registered company for over a month now, but we’re still blocked without a solution. We’ve opened multiple support cases, including: Case #102640946883 – Identity verification fails in the Developer App. A valid Spanish government-issued ID is rejected because it doesn’t match the Apple ID region (UK), even though the company and bank are UK-based. We were told this was escalated on 16 July, but we’ve received no update since. Case #102649610325 – Payment attempts fail when enrolling via the web portal. We’ve tried 4 different cards, 2 banks (Wise & Lloyds), and even a card previously used to enroll successfully. Banks confirm Apple is not even submitting a payment attempt. We've followed all instructions (Private Safari window, re-submitted enrollment, etc.), but nothing works. No resolution or clarification has been provided, and the situation is seriously impacting our operations and client timeline. We are requesting: An update on the escalated identity verification issue (Case #102640946883) Clarification on whether our entity is being blocked internally from enrolling Escalation to someone who can provide a real resolution We would appreciate any help or visibility from Apple Developer Relations or anyone with similar experience. Thank you.
