Unable to enroll in Apple Developer Program – Invalid State/Region value for Kosovo
Hello, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I cannot complete the payment. During the purchase process, I receive the following error: We are unable to complete your order. There was an issue when we processed your order. An invalid value '1549' was provided for State, Province, or Region. My details: Country: Kosovo State/Province/Region: Kosovo Region (selected from the available option) I have verified my information multiple times, but the error appears every time. I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times over the past month.I have not received any response (positive or negative). I need to complete enrollment to publish my apps, and this delay is blocking my work.

How to generate test Driver's License in Wallet?
Hello, I'm interested in testing the Digital Credentials API in Safari on iOS, but am not sure if there's a way to create a test Driver's License in the Wallet on a real device or Simulator? Unfortunately the state I live in does not have mobile ids set up yet with Apple so can't use my own driver's license. Any help would be much appreciated!

Cannot enroll: "Enroll" button unavailable in app, Apple Account balance unsupported on web (Russia)
Hi everyone, I need help because I'm currently in a dead end: I cannot even start the enrollment process for the Apple Developer Program, and I've been stuck like this for 45+ days. Current Status: Completely Blocked When I open the Apple Developer app on my iPhone or Mac, the "Enroll Now" button is either missing or shows this message: "Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account. Visit developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/" When I follow that link and try to enroll via the website, I hit another wall: the only payment option offered is credit card. My payment situation: I fund my Apple Account balance (this works perfectly for iCloud+, App Store purchases, subscriptions, etc.) I have sufficient funds in my Apple Account balance specifically for the Developer Program membership However, Apple Account balance is not accepted as a payment method for Developer Program enrollment on the web And the app won't even let me reach the payment step Result: I have no working pathway to enroll. App = disabled. Web = doesn't accept my Apple Account balance. How I Got Here Initially, the "Enroll" button in the app was active, but at the payment step I received "Unknown Error. Please try again." Apple Support reset my enrollment status to allow app-based enrollment (Case #102843620484). After multiple attempts (and a failed web enrollment attempt due to payment method), the app now shows the "not available for this Apple Account" message. I've submitted all requested documentation: screen recording, SEID, device info (iPhone 15 Pro, MacBook Air M1), government ID. Case escalated to senior advisor - only generic "we're still reviewing" responses for weeks. My Situation Region: Russia Apple ID: Personal account (long-standing, verified) Payment method: Apple Account balance (funded via mobile carrier) — works for all consumer Apple services Goal: Enroll as an individual developer to publish personal apps Questions Has anyone seen the message "Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account" after a failed enrollment attempt? Is this a permanent block or a temporary glitch? Is there a way to reset or restore the "Enroll" button in the app without creating a new Apple ID? Is Apple Account balance officially supported for Developer Program enrollment in any region? If yes, how can it be enabled for my account? If Apple Account balance is unsupported: what legitimate alternatives exist for developers in Russia who don't have access to international credit cards? Has Apple Support ever resolved this specific combination of issues (app disabled + payment method restriction)? What I'm NOT Looking For "Just use a credit card" (not available to me) Workarounds that violate Apple's terms or regional policies Advice to create a new Apple ID (I need to use my primary, verified account) I'm committed to joining the program legally - I just need a working path to do so. Any insights, similar experiences, or official guidance would be incredibly helpful. Thank you in advance. — Sergey Case ID: #102843620484 (for reference)

I'm the sole Director, Shareholder, and PSC of a UK-registered limited company (Companies House verified, D-U-N-S number obtained), enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an Organization.

On 17/08/2026, I submitted a complete package: Government-issued passport Certificate of Incorporation (UK Companies House) Official Companies House officer record showing my role as Active Director, with "Verification requirements complete" A signed declaration confirming my authority as sole Director/Shareholder/PSC, and explaining that as a newly incorporated company with no employees other than myself, no separate employment reference is available Apple confirmed receipt of these documents by email. Since then: I followed up via support ticket on 27/08/2026 — Case ID: 20000149144709 No response as of today, several business days later Enrollment ID: 6HDSQCQU98 Could someone from the Apple Developer Relations team please advise on the status of this case, or point me to the correct escalation path? Happy to provide any further information needed to resolve this.

rganization enrollment stuck 5+ weeks at "authority to bind" verification – Enrollment ID 5ACV2MS89Q
Hey team, I'm posting on behalf of a colleague, the account holder for our company's Apple Developer Program enrollment, who is currently unable to get any response through email support. Our organization submitted an enrollment for the Apple Developer Program around late July 2026. Shortly after, we received the confirmation email saying: "Once we verify that you have the authority to bind your organization to Apple Developer Program legal agreements, we'll email you with instructions on how to complete your enrollment." Enrollment ID: 5ACV2MS89Q It has now been over five weeks with no further email, no phone call, and no request for additional documents. The account holder has checked spam folders and voicemail and has not received any outreach. The company has a valid D-U-N-S number, and the account holder is a founder and officer of the company with full authority to sign on its behalf. We are happy to provide incorporation documents, an authorization letter, or anything else needed to complete verification. Could someone from Apple please review this enrollment and let us know what, if anything, is holding it up? The account holder is available to take a verification call or respond to email at the address on the enrollment. Thank you for your help.

Developer Program Enrollment
Hi, does anyone know the possible reason for a horrible delay in processing developer program enrollment? It took me over two months and still no progress. I got a response August 17th requesting additional materials, and almost 3 weeks passed and with two tickets submitted, still no responses and no one pick up the call. Does anyone know any way to get even some communication? This waiting time iHi, does anyone know what might be causing such a long delay with Developer Program enrollment? My enrollment has been pending for over two months with essentially no progress. On August 17, I received a request for additional documentation, which I submitted, but it has now been almost three weeks without any further update. I’ve also submitted two support tickets and tried calling, but I haven’t received a response, and I haven’t been able to reach anyone by phone. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there any way to escalate the case or at least get in touch with someone who can provide a status update? I understand that processing times can vary, but the lack of communication for this long has been extremely frustrating. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

eSIM /EID missing
I have an iPhone 14 Pro. After updating to iOS 26 beta, the eSIM functionality disappeared from my device. The “Add eSIM” option is completely missing from Settings > Cellular. I also checked Settings > General > About. The EID is no longer displayed. However, the IMEI, IMEI2, SEID, and Modem Firmware are still present. Modem Firmware currently shows 6.00.01, and Carrier Lock shows “No SIM restrictions.” I have already erased and restored/flashed the iPhone, but the EID and “Add eSIM” option are still missing after the restore. This problem prevents me from setting up or using an eSIM. Please investigate whether the iOS 26 beta caused the EID/eSIM functionality to disappear. Device: iPhone 14 Pro iOS: iOS 26 beta

Starting Out
Hi, This may be the wrong forum for this. I'm just starting out and playing with Claude coding. I've installed Xcode and and have some code that runs in a simulator. now I'm trying to transfer it to my phone to test but Xcode doesn't recognise my device and I can't seem to manually add a device through my profile as I don't have access to Certificates, Identifiers, etc. I've not fully enrolled in the program as I'm not sure the $150 AUD is what I need right now. Have I done something wrong?

Looking for beta testers for Aimora — an intelligent personal assistant for iPhone
Hi everyone! I'm looking for beta testers for Aimora, an intelligent personal assistant for iPhone designed to help you move forward when you're not sure what to do next. Aimora helps turn a goal or situation into one clear, practical next step, while learning from your progress over time. I'm especially interested in honest feedback about the UX, usefulness, and whether the concept actually helps in real life. The app is currently in beta and available through TestFlight. If you'd like to try it, I'd really appreciate your feedback! Thank you! https://testflight.apple.com/join/GdB6N39k

Create Alarm for Apple Watch Only
I'm a pretty new developer with only 1 app on the app store. I'm working on a new app for my mom, but I've hit a road block and can't see a way forward. I'd love help if anyone has any ideas. My mom leaves her phone lying around all the time. But she also uses alarms as reminders ALL the time. This leads to situations where she is outside or on the other side of the house when alarms go off on her phone. She is too far for her watch to get the alarm from the phone, so her phone just goes off and she isn't aware. The simplest option is for her to use the alarm app on her watch, but she isn't super techy and doesn't do well with the small screen. I noticed that AlarmKit was released in iOS 26. This is exactly what I need, except that it is only on iOS, not Apple Watch. My intent was to create a pair iOS and WatchOS app where someone could create an alarm on the phone, it immediately syncs to the watch, and when the time comes, it only alarms the watch, not the phone. And it needs to work even if it isn't connected to the phone when the alarm goes off. I got close. I have pair apps, and creating, edit, or deleting alarms on the phone immediately updates on the watch. And the watch has a standard notification (short ping and vibration) that repeats every 5 seconds. But this isn't aggressive enough for my mom to notice. I've tried a lot of weird paths to try and get this to work, but I'm at a dead end. If anyone has any ideas for me, please let me know!

iPhone Mirroring: noCompatiblePhone in one macOS user account, works in another on the same Mac
ENVIRONMENT Mac mini (M4), macOS 26.7 beta (25G227). iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 27 beta (24A5430a). Same Apple Account on both, two-factor enabled. Important: the failure began on 1 September on shipping builds, macOS 26.6.2 with iOS 26.6.1, after working fine for 27 logged sessions. Both devices were moved to betas afterwards while troubleshooting, and the behaviour has never changed on any build. SUMMARY iPhone Mirroring fails in my main macOS user account with "Cannot Connect to iPhone". A second macOS user account on the SAME Mac, signed in to the SAME Apple Account, connects to the SAME iPhone successfully. The fault is scoped to one macOS user account. FAILING ACCOUNT ScreenContinuityApp check sequence passes 1.1 through 4, then: 5. Checking if Replicator has a device paired Tearing down the session due to: noCompatiblePhone replicatord: Fetched IDS device: ; isCloudPaired: false Cannot handshake with discovered device, sync service does not know about it yet Unable to send message to device; no longer associated with account Error sending handshake request ... unknownDestination Reconciling devices. Known: []; unknown: [state: introduced; isPaired: false; personaID: nil] rapportd: Ignoring BLE device that does not have expected status flags (DF 0x30 ) Resolve identity for signature failed: 0x80 At the same moment sharingd identifies the phone correctly as Type SameAccountDevice at -42 dBm. WORKING ACCOUNT, same phone, minutes apart isCloudPaired: true Handshake completed: rapportd resolves DF 0xA9 "Ignoring BLE device" count 0, session runs over AWDL Every attempt in the failing account creates a NEW pairing relationship stuck at state: introduced, isPaired: false, then abandons it. Three distinct relationshipIDs were observed, each with an initialPairingDate matching the minute of the attempt, so they are regenerated symptoms rather than stale records. RULED OUT Apple Account sign out and back in on the Mac (twice) and on the iPhone (the phone received an entirely new Octagon identity, which the Mac accepted as a trusted peer) A full revoke-and-setup cycle: revoked from the working account so the pairing slot was completely empty, then ran setup from the failing account with the phone unlocked and in hand. Still noCompatiblePhone, and no on-device approval prompt ever appeared. Reset of per-user IDS state, deletion of Continuity keychain items and of the sharingd / rapport / ScreenContinuity preferences, ckksctl resync of DevicePairing and AutoUnlock, restart of identityservicesd, imagent, sharingd, rapportd and replicatord Reset Network Settings on the iPhone, a new macOS Network Location, a different Wi-Fi network, Bluetooth off and on, toggling iPhone Widgets, Lockdown Mode off, Screen Time restrictions off, Sidecar disconnected macOS 26.6.2 to 26.7 and iOS 26.6.1 to iOS 27 beta VERIFIED HEALTHY IN THE FAILING ACCOUNT otctl status reports Ready with the iPhone as a trusted peer. ckksctl reports every view ready, including DevicePairing and AutoUnlock. IDS is registered with no "Not registered" entries. awdl0 is active. No configuration profile restrictions. System Settings shows the correct iPhone selected for iPhone Mirroring. TWO OBSERVATIONS THAT MAY BE USEFUL The iPhone stores this pairing per Mac, not per macOS user account. Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity > iPhone Mirroring showed exactly one entry, the Mac's name, marked Currently Connected while the working account was mirroring. The "Revoke Access to [iPhone]" button is not permanently disabled. It is only disabled while a mirroring session is active. The same applies to Edit > delete on the phone. QUESTIONS Is the IDS account-associated-devices list maintained per macOS user account, and what determines whether a device is admitted to it? Is there a supported way to force that per-user list to resynchronise, short of deleting and recreating the user account? Is replicatord remaining at Known: [] while regenerating introduced / isPaired: false relationships a known issue? I have not filed via Feedback Assistant yet. Happy to file one with a sysdiagnose from both accounts if that is the right route.

UNEXPLAINABLE 3 MONTHS TAKING TECHNICAL ISSUE DEV ACCOUNT
Dear Apple Developer Support / Apple Developer Program Team, I am writing to formally escalate an unresolved issue with my Apple Developer Program application. I initially applied for the Apple Developer Program at the beginning of June 2026. My application was subsequently accepted, and I received communication indicating that I should be able to proceed with the remaining steps to activate my Developer Program membership. However, the process has been technically blocked from the beginning. When I follow the link provided by Apple, I am unable to proceed with signing the agreement and completing the required payment. Instead, I remain stuck on the same screen: “Thank you for your submission. We’ll get back to you soon.” I have contacted Apple Support and Developer Support repeatedly about this issue. On several occasions, I have spent approximately 1–1.5 hours waiting to reach a representative. Unfortunately, most of the representatives I have spoken with have been unable to identify or resolve the underlying issue. I have repeatedly been advised to be patient and have been told that the matter appears to be related to an internal Operations department. I fully appreciate that technical issues can occur and that some cases require investigation by another department. However, this matter has now remained unresolved for approximately three months. At one point, after waiting for a significant period without a resolution, I requested that my application be withdrawn so that I could submit a new application and potentially avoid the technical issue. Even getting this request understood and processed took approximately 1.5–2 weeks. I subsequently submitted a new application and, again, the application was accepted. Unfortunately, I am now experiencing essentially the same technical problem and remain unable to complete the enrollment process. This has become extremely concerning because we are not dealing with a normal application delay. We appear to be dealing with a technical or operational issue that prevents an accepted applicant from completing the final enrollment steps, while standard support channels have been unable to resolve or meaningfully explain the situation. I have retained documentation of the entire process, including application confirmations, acceptance communications, screenshots, correspondence and support interactions, and I am able to provide these upon request. Our company is a legitimate new business and our development activities and applications are directly connected to our company website, business email infrastructure and development plans. We have also involved experienced developers who have previously worked with Apple Developer accounts at established international companies, and this situation is highly unusual compared with their previous experience. I want to emphasize that I have been patient and cooperative throughout this process. I have provided the requested information, contacted the appropriate support channels multiple times, followed the instructions given to me, and even restarted the application process when advised. During the phone calls I selected that everything can be recorded so apple should have those conversations. However, after approximately three months, I believe it is reasonable to request that this matter receive attention at a level capable of actually resolving it. I am not looking for preferential treatment. I am simply asking Apple to investigate why an application that has already been accepted cannot proceed through the enrollment process, and to provide a clear explanation and resolution. Please treat this as a formal complaint and escalation request and provide me with a reference/case number for this complaint. I am prepared to provide all supporting documentation immediately. I sincerely hope this matter can now be escalated to someone who has the authority and technical access necessary to investigate and resolve it ASAP. Kind regards,

eSIM /EID missing
I have an iPhone 14 Pro. After updating to iOS 26 beta, the eSIM functionality disappeared from my device. The “Add eSIM” option is completely missing from Settings > Cellular. I also checked Settings > General > About. The EID is no longer displayed. However, the IMEI, IMEI2, SEID, and Modem Firmware are still present. Modem Firmware currently shows 6.00.01, and Carrier Lock shows “No SIM restrictions.” I have already erased and restored/flashed the iPhone, but the EID and “Add eSIM” option are still missing after the restore. This problem prevents me from setting up or using an eSIM. Please investigate whether the iOS 26 beta caused the EID/eSIM functionality to disappear. Device: iPhone 14 Pro iOS: iOS 26 beta

Starting Out
Hi, This may be the wrong forum for this. I'm just starting out and playing with Claude coding. I've installed Xcode and and have some code that runs in a simulator. now I'm trying to transfer it to my phone to test but Xcode doesn't recognise my device and I can't seem to manually add a device through my profile as I don't have access to Certificates, Identifiers, etc. I've not fully enrolled in the program as I'm not sure the $150 AUD is what I need right now. Have I done something wrong?

Looking for beta testers for Aimora — an intelligent personal assistant for iPhone
Hi everyone! I'm looking for beta testers for Aimora, an intelligent personal assistant for iPhone designed to help you move forward when you're not sure what to do next. Aimora helps turn a goal or situation into one clear, practical next step, while learning from your progress over time. I'm especially interested in honest feedback about the UX, usefulness, and whether the concept actually helps in real life. The app is currently in beta and available through TestFlight. If you'd like to try it, I'd really appreciate your feedback! Thank you! https://testflight.apple.com/join/GdB6N39k

Create Alarm for Apple Watch Only
I'm a pretty new developer with only 1 app on the app store. I'm working on a new app for my mom, but I've hit a road block and can't see a way forward. I'd love help if anyone has any ideas. My mom leaves her phone lying around all the time. But she also uses alarms as reminders ALL the time. This leads to situations where she is outside or on the other side of the house when alarms go off on her phone. She is too far for her watch to get the alarm from the phone, so her phone just goes off and she isn't aware. The simplest option is for her to use the alarm app on her watch, but she isn't super techy and doesn't do well with the small screen. I noticed that AlarmKit was released in iOS 26. This is exactly what I need, except that it is only on iOS, not Apple Watch. My intent was to create a pair iOS and WatchOS app where someone could create an alarm on the phone, it immediately syncs to the watch, and when the time comes, it only alarms the watch, not the phone. And it needs to work even if it isn't connected to the phone when the alarm goes off. I got close. I have pair apps, and creating, edit, or deleting alarms on the phone immediately updates on the watch. And the watch has a standard notification (short ping and vibration) that repeats every 5 seconds. But this isn't aggressive enough for my mom to notice. I've tried a lot of weird paths to try and get this to work, but I'm at a dead end. If anyone has any ideas for me, please let me know!

iPhone Mirroring: noCompatiblePhone in one macOS user account, works in another on the same Mac
ENVIRONMENT Mac mini (M4), macOS 26.7 beta (25G227). iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 27 beta (24A5430a). Same Apple Account on both, two-factor enabled. Important: the failure began on 1 September on shipping builds, macOS 26.6.2 with iOS 26.6.1, after working fine for 27 logged sessions. Both devices were moved to betas afterwards while troubleshooting, and the behaviour has never changed on any build. SUMMARY iPhone Mirroring fails in my main macOS user account with "Cannot Connect to iPhone". A second macOS user account on the SAME Mac, signed in to the SAME Apple Account, connects to the SAME iPhone successfully. The fault is scoped to one macOS user account. FAILING ACCOUNT ScreenContinuityApp check sequence passes 1.1 through 4, then: 5. Checking if Replicator has a device paired Tearing down the session due to: noCompatiblePhone replicatord: Fetched IDS device: ; isCloudPaired: false Cannot handshake with discovered device, sync service does not know about it yet Unable to send message to device; no longer associated with account Error sending handshake request ... unknownDestination Reconciling devices. Known: []; unknown: [state: introduced; isPaired: false; personaID: nil] rapportd: Ignoring BLE device that does not have expected status flags (DF 0x30 ) Resolve identity for signature failed: 0x80 At the same moment sharingd identifies the phone correctly as Type SameAccountDevice at -42 dBm. WORKING ACCOUNT, same phone, minutes apart isCloudPaired: true Handshake completed: rapportd resolves DF 0xA9 "Ignoring BLE device" count 0, session runs over AWDL Every attempt in the failing account creates a NEW pairing relationship stuck at state: introduced, isPaired: false, then abandons it. Three distinct relationshipIDs were observed, each with an initialPairingDate matching the minute of the attempt, so they are regenerated symptoms rather than stale records. RULED OUT Apple Account sign out and back in on the Mac (twice) and on the iPhone (the phone received an entirely new Octagon identity, which the Mac accepted as a trusted peer) A full revoke-and-setup cycle: revoked from the working account so the pairing slot was completely empty, then ran setup from the failing account with the phone unlocked and in hand. Still noCompatiblePhone, and no on-device approval prompt ever appeared. Reset of per-user IDS state, deletion of Continuity keychain items and of the sharingd / rapport / ScreenContinuity preferences, ckksctl resync of DevicePairing and AutoUnlock, restart of identityservicesd, imagent, sharingd, rapportd and replicatord Reset Network Settings on the iPhone, a new macOS Network Location, a different Wi-Fi network, Bluetooth off and on, toggling iPhone Widgets, Lockdown Mode off, Screen Time restrictions off, Sidecar disconnected macOS 26.6.2 to 26.7 and iOS 26.6.1 to iOS 27 beta VERIFIED HEALTHY IN THE FAILING ACCOUNT otctl status reports Ready with the iPhone as a trusted peer. ckksctl reports every view ready, including DevicePairing and AutoUnlock. IDS is registered with no "Not registered" entries. awdl0 is active. No configuration profile restrictions. System Settings shows the correct iPhone selected for iPhone Mirroring. TWO OBSERVATIONS THAT MAY BE USEFUL The iPhone stores this pairing per Mac, not per macOS user account. Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity > iPhone Mirroring showed exactly one entry, the Mac's name, marked Currently Connected while the working account was mirroring. The "Revoke Access to [iPhone]" button is not permanently disabled. It is only disabled while a mirroring session is active. The same applies to Edit > delete on the phone. QUESTIONS Is the IDS account-associated-devices list maintained per macOS user account, and what determines whether a device is admitted to it? Is there a supported way to force that per-user list to resynchronise, short of deleting and recreating the user account? Is replicatord remaining at Known: [] while regenerating introduced / isPaired: false relationships a known issue? I have not filed via Feedback Assistant yet. Happy to file one with a sysdiagnose from both accounts if that is the right route.

UNEXPLAINABLE 3 MONTHS TAKING TECHNICAL ISSUE DEV ACCOUNT
Dear Apple Developer Support / Apple Developer Program Team, I am writing to formally escalate an unresolved issue with my Apple Developer Program application. I initially applied for the Apple Developer Program at the beginning of June 2026. My application was subsequently accepted, and I received communication indicating that I should be able to proceed with the remaining steps to activate my Developer Program membership. However, the process has been technically blocked from the beginning. When I follow the link provided by Apple, I am unable to proceed with signing the agreement and completing the required payment. Instead, I remain stuck on the same screen: “Thank you for your submission. We’ll get back to you soon.” I have contacted Apple Support and Developer Support repeatedly about this issue. On several occasions, I have spent approximately 1–1.5 hours waiting to reach a representative. Unfortunately, most of the representatives I have spoken with have been unable to identify or resolve the underlying issue. I have repeatedly been advised to be patient and have been told that the matter appears to be related to an internal Operations department. I fully appreciate that technical issues can occur and that some cases require investigation by another department. However, this matter has now remained unresolved for approximately three months. At one point, after waiting for a significant period without a resolution, I requested that my application be withdrawn so that I could submit a new application and potentially avoid the technical issue. Even getting this request understood and processed took approximately 1.5–2 weeks. I subsequently submitted a new application and, again, the application was accepted. Unfortunately, I am now experiencing essentially the same technical problem and remain unable to complete the enrollment process. This has become extremely concerning because we are not dealing with a normal application delay. We appear to be dealing with a technical or operational issue that prevents an accepted applicant from completing the final enrollment steps, while standard support channels have been unable to resolve or meaningfully explain the situation. I have retained documentation of the entire process, including application confirmations, acceptance communications, screenshots, correspondence and support interactions, and I am able to provide these upon request. Our company is a legitimate new business and our development activities and applications are directly connected to our company website, business email infrastructure and development plans. We have also involved experienced developers who have previously worked with Apple Developer accounts at established international companies, and this situation is highly unusual compared with their previous experience. I want to emphasize that I have been patient and cooperative throughout this process. I have provided the requested information, contacted the appropriate support channels multiple times, followed the instructions given to me, and even restarted the application process when advised. During the phone calls I selected that everything can be recorded so apple should have those conversations. However, after approximately three months, I believe it is reasonable to request that this matter receive attention at a level capable of actually resolving it. I am not looking for preferential treatment. I am simply asking Apple to investigate why an application that has already been accepted cannot proceed through the enrollment process, and to provide a clear explanation and resolution. Please treat this as a formal complaint and escalation request and provide me with a reference/case number for this complaint. I am prepared to provide all supporting documentation immediately. I sincerely hope this matter can now be escalated to someone who has the authority and technical access necessary to investigate and resolve it ASAP. Kind regards,
