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

Hi everyone, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on the evening of December 22, 2025, and the membership fee has already been successfully charged to my bank account. It's 8 days without program... However, my account is still showing a “Pending” status with the message “Subscribe your membership.”

Hi everyone - I really hope you can help. I recently tried to apply to the Developer Program. I did this by starting the process online in a browser, then following the Apple instructions to open the Developer App on my phone, identify myself and then go through the process of filling in the details for the type of application (Individual) and the type of apps I'm interested in creating then paying a subscription (all on the phone). I can see the subscription exists in my iCloud account now. I also have not only the initial "Your subscription is confirmed" email I also have the later "Your invoice from Apple" too. However if I go to the developer website it says at the top of the page "To continue your enrolment, complete your purchase now. Your purchase may take 48 hours to process". Did anyone else have this issue? Is it all ok and I just have to wait and wait for the application to be approved? Is there something I need to do? I'm worried that if I follow the instructions in my Developer account online I will pay twice. I really need to get this sorted asap. When I try to use the full developer profile in xCode in "signing" I get "Cannot create a iOS App Development provisioning profile for "com.********.[appname]". Personal development teams, including "[my personal developer account name]", do not support the iCloud capability. Thanks so much in advance for help from anyone in the forum!

When changing the app icon: On iOS versions below 26.1, we were able to use certain methods to suppress this confirmation popup ("You have changed the icon for 'Lanhai Bank'"). However, this suppression no longer works on iOS 26.1 and later. Is there any valid method to prevent this popup from appearing on iOS 26.1+? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! /用户/lanhaiyinhang/下载/微信bdf77ae6f15408892b6734696d6c2038.jpg

Hi, My name is incorrectly displayed in the Individual / Tax Forms section as MarkF Frelly, while my legal name is Mark Frelly (example name). It looks like an extra “F” was mistakenly added, possibly treated as a middle initial. My account name shows correctly as Mark Frelly, but the team name and tax name are uneditable, and I’m concerned this could cause issues with tax forms. I’m unable to find any option to correct this myself. Has anyone faced this before, or is contacting Apple Developer Support the only way to fix it?

It’s been 3 days and enrollment still pending. Can you help me please? App is ready to publish

Hi Apple Developer Support Team, I placed a membership order on 12/27/2025 — Order #W1642892477 — and I’m running into two issues: Possible duplicate charges I was first charged on the card ending **73, but the site then indicated the charge did not go through. However, I can see the deduction on my card. I then tried again using my second card ending **53, and I also see a deduction there. Please confirm whether both charges actually captured or if one is only a pending authorization. If both captured, please refund the duplicate charge. Membership still shows “Pending” Even though payment appears successful, when I log in my membership status still shows Pending. I also have not received any approval/activation/confirmation email. Could you please: Confirm the payment status for Order W1642892477 (including both cards), Activate my membership, and Let me know how long activation normally takes and whether there’s any action needed from my side? Thank you, Raymond.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here can help or share insight. I submitted my enrollment for the Apple Developer Program a little over a week ago. After submitting my documents, I was told by Apple that I should receive a response within two business days, but I haven’t received any update, approval, or follow-up yet. I’ve double-checked that all required documents were successfully submitted Everything appears to be in order, but the status hasn’t changed and I haven’t been contacted. This is becoming urgent, as my app is ready for submission and I’m blocked from moving forward until the developer account is approved. I want to make sure I didn’t miss a step or that there isn’t something additional Apple needs from me. Is there a recommended way to escalate or follow up? Should I expect additional verification beyond the initial submission? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi everyone, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on the evening of December 26, 2025, and the membership fee has already been successfully charged to my bank account.

@Apple Developer Support Hello, It has now been more than 72 hours since my Apple Developer Program purchase. The payment was completed and the invoice was issued. Order Number: W1302770460 I have not received any response to my previous support requests, and my membership is still not active. Please escalate this case and complete the manual activation of my membership as soon as possible. Thank you.

I have opened a case with the apple developer support a month ago and they have not replied, since then I sent multiple other emails and opened more cases requesting them to get a status update about my case. So far I am being ignored, no reply or anything it is very frustrating, what can I do to get someone to help me with the apple developer team?

Hi, Some time ago I created an Apple Developer business account on behalf of my (now former) business partner. The company is no longer active, and I've been away from app development for a few years. I'd now like to start fresh with a new business account, but first I need to step away from this existing one. From the documentation, I understand that first I have to transfer the Account Holder role, and I've already spoken with the other person - he's willing to accept the role. According to the docs: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/access/transfer-the-account-holder-role/ the option should appear under "Update your information", but in my case there is no option called "Transfer Account Holder role". Has anyone encountered this before? Are there prerequisites or account conditions that need to be met for the transfer option to appear? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Your enrollment is being processed. I've had this message since the 11th of December with no response or update from any one. any assistance would be greatly appreciated. my Enrollment ID: 6CJ2AWBMAU

i have been trying to make payment for apple developer account for over a week, my card keeps declining, I have tried several cards, they all decline. whats the problem and what’s the solution?

How long does it usually take for a developer account to be enrolled? I've been pending since the 23th of December.

I have an open NFC Value-Added Services entitlement case (17370116) with Apple Wallet Entitlements. My request was acknowledged, information provided, but the case appears to have been split into duplicates and stalled. Is there a way to have the case consolidated and routed back to the Wallet Entitlements team?

I have lost access to to my account I found out via email stating that my account was closed because I had not agreed to new terms and conditions which I had no idea there were new terms and conditions and I’ve trying desperately to regain my account and nobody’s contacted me after I’ve sent multiple emails asking for help

Has anyone gone through the process of migrating your individual account to a business account? I've submitted all the docs a month ago and the application is still pending. It's delaying my business and causing a lot of issue, does anyone know how long does it take? Customer service just ignores you!
