We are preparing to transfer one of our live applications to a different Apple Developer Organization and need clarification to avoid service disruption. We would like guidance on the following points: Sign in with Apple and Service ID Transfer: We want to confirm whether the Service ID used for Sign in with Apple must be transferred along with the app, or if its configuration will automatically migrate as part of the transfer. Additionally, is there a way to verify whether the app currently has any explicit association or dependency with the existing Service ID on the current developer account? As per our findings, we do not have a ServiceID associated with SIWA. The SIWA is handled natively by iOS. Creating or Updating a Service ID Before Transfer: Since, the ServiceID is not associated, if we create a new Service ID now and assign it to the existing app for Sign in with Apple, will this have any impact on users who are already using the live app? Specifically, will creating or modifying a Service ID change the authorization state for currently authenticated Apple Sign In users? Transfer Identifier Timing: The transfer process requires generating a transfer identifier. Should this be done ahead of the Account Migration or only at the start of the transfer? Also, will generating or using the transfer identifier require any change on the client side related to Apple Sign In? We would appreciate recommendation for these steps and whether users should expect any authentication or billing disruptions during or after the app transfer.

Hello, I am an Apple Developer and I have been unable to access my Apple ID for more than a week because of a verification code issue. Every time I try to sign in to my Apple ID or manage my banking information, I see this error message: “Too many verification codes have been sent. Enter the last verification code you received or try again later.” The problem is that I am not receiving any SMS verification codes at all, so I cannot enter any “last code”, and I cannot complete the sign-in process. I have already tried the following: Waited more than 24 hours without requesting new codes, several times. Tried signing in from different devices and networks. Confirmed that my phone number is active and can receive other SMS messages from different services. The issue persists and I am effectively locked out of my Apple ID. This is a critical problem for me because it directly affects my Apple Developer work: I cannot sign in to App Store Connect. I cannot add or edit my banking information. I cannot upload my app or submit it for review. I also do not have another phone number that I can add as a trusted phone number, so I cannot simply switch to a different number. I kindly ask for a concrete technical solution or manual intervention for my Apple ID, not just “wait 24 hours and try again”, because I have already done that multiple times and the error is still there. Could you please: check if there is a block or rate limit on verification codes for my account, and help reset it or provide another way to verify my identity and restore access to my Apple ID, or assist me with updating my trusted phone number after verifying my identity? This issue is blocking my ability to continue development and release of my app on the App Store, so I would really appreciate any escalation to the appropriate technical team. Thank you very much for your help. Best regards, Daniil

I’m on the Apple Developer application on the Mac Mini, and I’m getting the option “Continue your enrollment.” When I click it, I’m shown a “Subscription Fee” button. After clicking that, I receive this message: “An Apple Developer Program membership subscription is already associated with your iTunes & App Store account.” The only option I have is to click OK, and when I do that, it takes me back to the same Subscription screen. The enrollment is not getting completed, and I’m stuck in a loop. Could you please help me with this?

Hi There, I´m From Spain with an LLC Company in the USA. Is a Disregarded company, the problem is that when I try to set up the paid apps agreement, Apple display the form W-9 instead of Form W8-BEN (that is for non-us resident) My question is... is this right? Under the name of my company, appear an option that ask me ... "Who is the Beneficial Owner? " You can choose between : Individual, Limited Liability - Disregarded Entity, Limited Liability - Partnership, Other... I choose Limited Liability - Disregarded Entity I m not sure if the form W-9 is the right for me because my other online business is about selling books on amazon and there the form that I m using is W8-BEN

During testing, we encountered an issue where when entering the game and starting audio playback, if I force-kill the app directly (by swiping up the app in the app switcher, rather than switching to the background first before killing it), a system crash prompt dialog appears after the app is killed. We conducted numerous tests to troubleshoot the problem and found that this issue only occurs with our own TestFlight account. When we uploaded our app to another TestFlight account for testing, we were unable to reproduce this problem.

Hi everybody, I am trying to create a developer account, but I am having this problem: The information you entered did not match your D&B profile. Before submitting your information, check your D&B profile. If you've recently changed your legal entity name, update your D&B profile. However, the number and name of my company that I am entering are correct. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you in advance.

I have had this notice for a while: Registration is being processed for these devices. They may become available for development and ad hoc distribution in 24 to 72 hours. Changes to device availability will appear in the Status column. The status for my new iPhone has been stuck in this "Processing" state. See image:

Hey so i’ve paid for the apple developer subscription about 2 days ago - the apple developer app disabled the enroll now button and says that my account is not authorized to enroll through the app, and the website says that i should complete purchase (and it my take up to 48 hours to process) even though i got my invoice

I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but when I attempt to make the payment, the only option displayed is for UAE/AED. My actual region is India, so I’m unable to complete the payment or finish the enrollment. I’ve already tried changing the region in my Apple ID and updated both my payment and delivery addresses to India, but it still only shows UAE and AED as the payment option. I urgently need the developer account because my client is waiting. Please help me change the region to India, or update it on your end if possible. I have already submitted a support request, but I haven’t received a response yet. My support request ID is: 102757573285. Thank you for your assistance.

A year ago, I had an app published on Apple Developer, but I didn’t renew the subscription. Months later, when I tried to subscribe again, I started getting an error when trying to purchase the Apple Developer subscription. I've already tried different cards, and the error continues to appear. I'm really exhausted at this point. I’ve been speaking with support through chat and phone calls for almost three months, and the issue still hasn’t been resolved. I keep being told to wait 24 hours, then 72 hours, but the error is still there. I’ve contacted both Apple Support and Apple Developer Support, and neither team has been able to help. I’ve been trying to pay a $100 subscription for three months, and I still can’t complete the purchase. I honestly don’t understand how a company like Apple can provide such a poor experience for something as simple as paying for a subscription.

Hi everyone, I recently paid for my Apple Developer Program membership, but my account status has been stuck on “Pending” ever since. It has now been 5+ more days and I still haven’t received any confirmation email or follow-up message from Apple. I’ve checked my inbox, spam folder, and verified that the payment went through successfully. Everything seems correct on my end, but the activation hasn’t progressed. Has anyone experienced this delay before, or is there something else I should do while waiting? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

I filled in everything, but when I try to complete the purchase, it shows an error saying “Unknown Error.” What could be the issue? Can you please guide me?

Hello, Our organization Apple Developer account has been in pending status for over 30 days and we need guidance. Timeline: Paid annual $99 membership renewal fee (payment processed successfully) Changed Account Holder as required Submitted verification documents (passport, employment letter, business registration) Received response that verification could not be completed Updated Apple ID information to match passport exactly Sent follow-up email 30+ days ago - no response since Current status: Account shows "pending" Payment status: Successfully processed We have contacted support multiple times but haven't received updates for over a month. This is severely impacting our business. Questions: Has anyone experienced similar issues with account holder verification? What additional steps can we take? Is there an escalation process we should follow? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I paid for the developer account subscription on November 9, and as of now, the status is still pending. I’ve already contacted the support center for help more than three days ago, but I haven’t received any reply or even an acknowledgment email. How do they even operate? The delay is completely unreasonable. Has anyone else experienced the same thing?

I Keep getting this error if I try to enroll in the developer program, why is this? Please tell me how to fix this of why this is happening!

Body: I am writing to report an ongoing issue with the Apple Developer Program enrollment process specifically affecting developers in India, along with significant concerns about Apple's support responsiveness in this region. Issue Summary: I have been attempting to enroll in the paid Apple Developer Program ($99/year) using the Apple Developer app on my iPhone for the past 4 days. Every enrollment attempt results in the following errors: "Unknown Error - Please try again" "Invalid Request - Service mapping to the requested URL is not available" My Setup (All Verified Correct): Apple ID Region: India Trusted Phone Number: +91 (India country code, matching my Apple ID region) Two-Factor Authentication: Enabled (genuine 2FA, not two-step verification) 2FA Devices: iPhone, MacBook Pro devices, and trusted phone number all verified Account Information: Legal name, address, date of birth, and email all updated and verified on account.apple.com Device: iPhone 17 Pro running latest iOS Troubleshooting Attempted: I have completed every troubleshooting step suggested by the community and by Apple Support myself: ✅ Verified genuine Two-Factor Authentication is enabled ✅ Confirmed Apple ID region matches trusted phone number region (+91) ✅ Updated all personal information (legal name, address, email) on account.apple.com ✅ Force restarted iPhone multiple times ✅ Uninstalled and reinstalled Apple Developer app ✅ Signed out and signed back in with correct Apple ID ✅ Tested on both WiFi and cellular data ✅ Waited 48+ hours between attempts None of these steps resolved the issue. Support Response Issues: This is where my frustration peaks. I have attempted to contact Apple Support multiple ways: Phone Support: Shows "Phone support is currently unavailable" (though it was available last week) Email Support: Submitted via developer.apple.com/support → No response for 4 days Previous Contact: Had contacted support last week, but the troubleshooting steps provided did not resolve the issue Current Status: No follow-up communication or resolution path from Apple Known Issue in India - Why This Matters: I have researched this extensively and found multiple threads in this forum (dating back months) with developers in India reporting identical errors during enrollment. To date, I have not found a single resolved thread with a working solution. This indicates: This is a documented, recurring issue affecting Indian developers specifically Apple appears to have backend infrastructure issues specific to India Support has not provided a resolution path despite multiple reports The Real Problem: Apple's Developer Program enrollment system appears to have specific bugs or limitations that prevent developers in India from successfully enrolling, yet: Support responsiveness is severely lacking There is no documented workaround or known resolution The support team seems unaware of or unprepared to handle this region-specific issue My Request: Acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue affecting India-based developers A concrete resolution path (whether manual backend enablement, account review, or system fix) Expected timeline for resolution: Improved support responsiveness - Developers deserve answers, not silence Additional Context: I am ready to provide screen recordings of the exact error I have all the necessary documentation (identity verification, address proof, etc.) I am willing to complete any additional verification steps I simply need clear communication and a path forward I have been developing for iOS and want to contribute to the Apple ecosystem. However, this enrollment barrier is preventing me from doing so. Apple's support infrastructure for India needs improvement, and this issue needs attention. If any Apple team member is monitoring this forum, please escalate this issue. Indian developers deserve better support and communication.

When I try to renew my Apple Developer Programme Membership, it just spins out on a page titled "Sign In for Faster Checkout". When I check the javascript console, I can see a 541 error trying to POST some data to /uk/shop/signIn/idms/authx and an error trying to parse the response as JSON when the response is actually a "File Not Found" HTML page. Anyone else getting this? I've got a couple of weeks before my certificates start expiring.

I signed up for a new dev account, it's been 8 days and the account is still under review. I can't even send an email to Apple because it keeps saying "Your email can't be used" which does not make sense. I promised my clients that the app would be live by the beginning of this week, here we are at friday now and even if my account get's activated today, there's no telling how long the actual app review will take. Does it really take this much time to publish an app with Apple??? I signed up on Google Play at the same time. In only 3 days my App was reviewed and ready to publish on Playstore... Now the wait is on Apple. This is just one reason why my personal devices are Samsung.

When I try to enroll Apple Developer Program for a company, getting an error. "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred." Please, help me. What am i doing wrong?
