I want to add my voice here, because I’m experiencing exactly the same issue as many others in this thread.
I paid the $99 Apple Developer Program fee. The payment was successfully charged. However, my developer account has still not been activated.
It has been more than several business days — in my case, almost a week — and there is:
• no activation
• no clear status
• no way to check what is happening
• no response to emails
The money was taken immediately, but the service that was paid for has not been provided.
To those saying “stop spamming, nobody here can help you”:
people are not spamming — they are reporting a real, unresolved problem. When a company takes money and provides no service, no status, and no support, users have every right to speak publicly about it.
Yes, maybe no one on this forum can fix it directly. But public visibility matters. Threads like this are often the only way to show how this process actually works for real users.
If Apple positions this program as a professional, paid service, then basic communication and transparency should be the minimum expectation.
I’m posting this not to “spam”, but to confirm: this is not an isolated case. The problem is real, and it affects multiple developers.
