Hello, I recently purchased an Apple Developer account. The payment was successfully processed, the charge has appeared on my credit card, and I have received the invoice via email. However, it has been 3 days, and my Developer account is still not activated. The status remains “Pending” in my Apple Developer dashboard. There are no alerts or requests for additional documentation on my account. I’ve tried signing out and back in, checking from different devices and browsers, but nothing has changed. Is this delay normal? Is there anything I should do to speed up the activation process? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

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 have requested multiple issues on https://developer.apple.com/contact/ (it has been over two weeks now requesting an update with a valid DUNS number), yet they have not even emailed me anything. I am trying to convert my developer account from individual to team, so my other team members can render the app on Xcode even when Appled ID login is in place in the app (currently, they can't compile the app with the "individual" developer account). I would just like to have my account be updated from individual to organization. I have also tried many times on https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/migrate-individual-account/

When I try to get a developer account, I keep getting the error "Payment approval failed". Can someone please help?

Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding my Apple Developer account, which is still pending approval. It has been several days since I completed the registration process and submitted all the required information, but I have not received any confirmation or update yet. I understand that the review process can take some time, but as I urgently need access to my developer account for an ongoing project, I would greatly appreciate it if you could look into this matter and provide an update on the current status of my application Please let me know if any additional information or verification is required from my side to expedite the process. Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your prompt response

Hi, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for my current company. Everything seemed fine, but since yesterday, I keep encountering an 'Unknown Error' when I try to complete the enrollment. I've checked my internet connection, updated my device, and tried multiple browsers, but the issue persists. Has anyone experienced this before or have suggestions on how to resolve it?

I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and received an email saying my order is being processed and will be ready within 2 business days. It's been about 5 days, and I haven’t gotten a response from them yet.

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

Hi, I completed my Apple Developer registration on November 9, 2025, and paid the fee. Afterwards, there was option to pay fee again and i thought first payment is not working I was charged another €99 from other visa card, so I basically paid twice. But nothing has changed on my account so far — it show as “pending”. I also can’t reach Apple Support, Has anyone else experienced something like this or knows what I can do?

Hi, I paid for the developer program membership more than 2 days ago. Nothing is happening, though. I wrote to support twice, but nothing as well. What's going on? I read few posts here and it seems like a normal thing.

I'm getting an error after clicking on a TestFlight Beta version invite from email. The error says The Apple Account you're currently signed in with, ****@outlook.com, doesn't match the one associated to this invitation. The invitation was sent to the email that I use to sign into my Apple account (it is my apple id) and I am signed into my iphone with that account. What can I do to get the invite to match up and go through with TestFlight?

Our developer account was granted the com.apple.developer.mail-client by Apple ages ago, which we use for one of our apps. At the time, this entitlement was granted through a special "entitlements" drop-down on the profile creation page. In fact, the entitlement is still available to us in this manner: Unfortunately, applying the entitlement directly to the profile no longer works through the App Store Connect API. Which is a bummer because we periodically use the API to update our development and ad hoc profiles with new UDIDs. I was eventually able to get Apple to migrate the entitlement to a capability that we can instead apply to the app IDs in our account. Great! However, for some reason the "Default Mail App" capability (on the "Edit your App ID Configuration" screen) shows does NOT apply to Ad hoc profiles: Note that "Ad hoc" is missing. This means we still need to update the Ad hoc profile for the app in question manually through the Apple developer portal. This has to be a bug. It makes no sense that this specific capability doesn't apply to Ad hoc profiles. Other capabilities don't have this issue. e.g.: Another strange thing is that on the profile page for the ad hoc profile under "Enabled Capabilities" it shows "Default Mail App" (see screenshot above) but the capability/entitlement is missing from the downloaded profile unless I add it via the drop down menu on the profile page. How do I get Apple to fix this? Multiple support tickets submitted via our developer account have gone unanswered. (It took months just to get the entitlement partially migrated in the first place.)

Hi, I'm from India and payment has been deducted for the membership and I have received an email confirming my subscription of the program but I still cannot access my enrolment dashboard. It says "You'll receive an email soon" in my Apple Developer app under "Enrol" and it says Pending on my Apple Account on web. I don't understand why such as a small task is such a problematic thing for Apple. Need help understanding what's going on.

So i just started developing ios apps where i recently purchased macbook, i tried to create developer account got saying i cannot create the acount as of now.

I am working with the AVcam sample code example to interface external thermal camera with a USB C connector on iPad. the camera frame consists of a resolution of 1280x740 with the first 1280x720 bytes being for RGB and 160x121 bytes for the thermal data. The camera outputs in YUYV2 format. The thermal data is embedded in this frame as it is a 16 bit value. I found out that YUYV2 is not a supported video format on iOS. is there any way I can get the raw thermal data without any modification ?

So I just managed to build one app for personal use that I want to use daily in my iphone. However, once installed in my device through XCode, after one week the application is no longer available. I'm aware about the one week trial for free users and one year for a paid account, but... for real? Isn't there an alternative? And if not... does it means that in order to use my app for let's say 5 years I will have to pay 500$? Is just a bit crazy to think about it but I did look on the internet and did not found a clear information about how this works. Thank you in advance :)

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://developer.apple.com/help/account/membership/program-enrollment/ https://developer.apple.com/documentation/enterpriseprogramapi/users Also appears in some legacy docs, but that probably matters less: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/LegacyTechnologies/WebObjects/WebObjects_4.0/System/Library/Frameworks/EOControl.framework/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/Reference/Java/EOControl.Java.pdf

Summary Several notarization submissions have remained in the In Progress state for many hours. I’d like to confirm whether this is expected behavior and what steps I can take to resolve or re-submit safely. Command used xcrun notarytool submit "/Users/.../MortiseAI-arm64.dmg" --keychain-profile "mai_publish" --wait Submission history (excerpt) createdDate: 2025-11-06T22:52:12.019Z id: 4254d623-**** name: MortiseAI-arm64.dmg status: In Progress createdDate: 2025-11-06T13:00:28.016Z id: c7397c1c-**** name: MortiseAI-arm64.dmg status: In Progress createdDate: 2025-11-06T11:24:12.624Z id: 44bcbab2-**** name: MortiseAI.zip status: In Progress (Several other submissions show the same In Progress status.) Questions Are there known reasons that could cause notarization requests to remain in In Progress for an extended time? What is the recommended method to cancel these pending submissions and safely re-submit? Are there diagnostic steps (for example, xcrun notarytool log ) that can help analyze this issue? Notes • Using --wait with a keychain profile. • Will provide additional environment or Xcode details if needed. Thanks in advance for your help!

I submitted my application for the Apple enrollment about couple days ago, and it’s been almost a week now, status still shows as "Pending," and I haven’t received any updates from Apple yet. Has anyone else experienced this delay, or can anyone share their experience with the timeline?

I'm based in Belarus and have been trying to reach Apple Support for over a week with no response. I paid for the Apple Developer Program about a week and a half ago—the payment was processed, but I haven't seen any results or confirmation. They asked me to submit ID documents, so I sent a photo of my passport. Since then, I haven’t received any updates. I’m not sure how to get through to support to either confirm the status of my purchase or issue a refund. Thanks for your attention.
