Hi all,
I’m an Admin user in an Apple Developer Program (Organization) team, but I’m unable to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles (CIP) on developer.apple.com. I’d like to understand what permission is missing and where it should be enabled.
Context
Program type: Apple Developer Program (Organization)
My role in App Store Connect: Admin
I can access App Store Connect normally, but CIP resources on developer.apple.com are blocked.
The Account Holder can access CIP normally.
What I see (Problem)
In the Apple Developer portal → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get:
“Access Unavailable — You currently don't have access to this membership resource. Contact your team's Account Holder or an Admin.”
In Xcode → Settings → Accounts → Team, the “Certificates, Identifiers, & Profiles” section shows a red error indicator and doesn’t load.
Only my account is affected; the Account Holder is not.
What we’ve tried / confirmed
Membership is active (renewal date is valid)
Signed out/in of Xcode and re-added my Apple ID
Confirmed selecting the correct Organization team in Xcode / Developer portal
Account Holder confirmed they can access CIP
Questions
For an Organization team, what exact permission(s) are required for a member to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles?
Where is this access controlled — App Store Connect → Users and Access vs developer.apple.com → People?
If Admin in App Store Connect is not sufficient, what additional role/setting is needed to grant CIP access?

Hello everyone,
I’m currently enrolling as an Organization from Albania and I’ve been stuck on the "Enrolling" status for 8 business days now.
I have my D-U-N-S number sorted and everything was submitted. I sent an email last week to the support but I haven't heard back yet. I’ve already sent another support message 2 days ago but no reply so far.
I’m curious to hear from others who have enrolled recently (especially in 2026):
How long did your organization verification take?
Did you receive a verification phone call, or was it just approved via email?
For those in the Balkans/Europe, did you have to provide extra local business registry documents (like the QKB extract) manually?
I’m trying to time my launch with my Google Play release, so I’m a bit anxious about the "black hole" of waiting. Any experiences or "nudge" tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on Tuesday evening, November 4th, 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!

Hi everyone,
My Apple Developer account is still pending approval. Payment has been successfully charged from my bank, and all required steps are completed. Has anyone experienced this recently or knows the current approval timelines? I have my Order ID available if needed.
Thanks.
I've paid - and have the confirmation of subscription email.
But when I try to enroll both on my iphone and macbook air - I get errors. on the iphone said could not complete enrollment. on the macbook it said "not available in your area"
I am in australia and it should work. Does anyone know how to fix the enrollment bugs?
We made a purchase to join the Apple Developer Program, but we have been waiting for 5 days and have not received any response such as an approval or rejection. Are you experiencing the same issue as well?
I'm having issues accepting an invite to access TestFlight. I may have tried multiple attempts due to my existing email address not being accepted, so I had to create a new email that's not linked to Apple yet and put it in the activation form.
However, now I am getting an error, "Verification codes can't be sent to this phone number at this time. Please try again later." This has been an error since yesterday and the resend, verification via call, and text are all not working. I also tried a different phone number and same issue.
Can someone help on this, please.
Hello i tried to enroll for Apple developer program but i got that messageYour enrollment could not be completed."Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time."And i am not able to proceed further.Thanks
I tried to enroll some weeks ago, went thru the whole process, it eventually took by IDs, but now I'm stuck on "Enrollement not completed - You enrollment in the Apple Developper pogram could not be completed at this time."
So, after 2 weeks, what's next ?
Hello!
This is already my third post regarding this issue.
I have been waiting for almost a month and have sent approximately 10 emails to Apple Developer Program Support. I have received no response at all — no updates, no explanations, and no assistance.
What makes this situation particularly unacceptable is that Apple Support is clearly active and responding to similar enrollment issues in other forum threads. Seeing support help others while completely ignoring my case for an entire month is extremely frustrating and difficult to justify.
This level of silence from Apple is not just disappointing — it reflects a serious breakdown in the enrollment support process.
I have purchased the apple developer account about 2 months ago, my account has not been activated since then. I have reached apple support multiple times over mails, but received no response. We have also shared our D-U-N-S number multiple times over email. Case ID: 102773282429

Developer Program
Hey guysI’ve been trying to pay for Apple Developer Program enrollment for about a week and still no luck. As well as I got from a small talk with the customer support – Apple never got my money. So it seems like my payment authorization fails all the time. But I don’t know what’s really going on.Have any of you ever had issues like that?Or maybe you just know what’s going on and how to fix it?
I'm trying to enroll in Apple Developer and I continuously getting a "Payment Declined" message despite trying 4 credit cards, a debit card and even my apple card. When I try this through the developer app the "Enroll Now" button is greyed out. It's not a bank issue I've already checked and they don't see any requests coming through.
I’ve tried multiple times with no luck. Contacted Apple support and they are extremely slow with the responses with very little help. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this?

I've been trying to enrol as an Apple developer since January 20th. I've tried with two different cards, but I haven't received any response; the account is always pending. I've contacted support twice by phone, and one time they said it was their error. I'm still waiting.
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for feedback from developers who may have faced long delays with Apple Developer Program enrollment.
I submitted my enrollment request almost 2 months ago and provided all required information. After hearing nothing, I contacted Apple Support and received a case number (102805967127), but it’s been over a week since then with only automated responses.
Some context:
Apple ID uses a Gmail address (not iCloud)
I log in from both macOS and Windows
I don’t have an iPhone, only a Mac
2FA is enabled
I’m wondering:
Is not having an iCloud email or an iPhone known to cause issues?
Or is this just a common internal verification backlog?
Any shared experiences or advice on how to escalate this would be really helpful.
Thanks.
Enrolled via website for the apple developer account last Jan. 17 and got the e-invoice last Jan. 19. However, until now I still have not received any confirmation from Apple. I thought it was supposed to be 48hrs max only? Worth noting that I started the process in the developer app but had to withdraw it due to incorrect details but when I tried to enroll again, the button was disabled already so I had to do it via website. I also submitted 2 support tickets, one on Jan. 18 and one today, Jan. 20. Both no reply.
Anyone else here had the same problem or knows the solution?
Hi everyone,
I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and paid for the membership through the Apple Developer app on my iPhone on January 20, 2025. The membership fee was successfully charged to my debit card.
However, I never received any confirmation email, invoice, or receipt for the payment, and the subscription does NOT appear under my Apple ID subscriptions.
As of today, my developer account is still not active, and I’m seeing inconsistent information across platforms:
In the Apple Developer app, I now see a message saying that I can’t enroll with this account, even though the payment was charged.
On the developer.apple.com website, it says that I still need to purchase the membership.
I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support via email, but I haven’t received any response yet.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue where:
The membership fee was charged,
No confirmation or receipt email was received,
The subscription does not appear in the Apple ID,
And the developer account remains inactive?
Any guidance or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Every time I try to renew my Apple Developer account, I get a message like "This item is not available in your country or region." (I'm in the United States)
I reached out to Apple Developer support via email (because Apple Developer does not offer phone options anymore for any support topics on the website), and they gave me the following response.
"We can’t verify your identity with the Apple Developer app or provide further assistance with the Apple Account for Apple developer programs."
This is ridiculous! I have multiple apps on the App Store and in TestFlight. I use my Apple Developer account to make a living- how is this even allowed? I have never done anything to violate any terms or agreements.
Has anyone else been through this issue and how did they get it resolved?
Dear Apple,
The Apple Developer website and App Store Connect currently remain locked in light mode, which can cause significant eye strain during extended development sessions.
It would be greatly appreciated if dark mode — or an automatic system-based appearance option — could be added to make these platforms more eye-friendly for developers.
Thank you for considering this improvement.
