I'm looking for advice or anyone who's experienced similar delays with nonprofit developer account enrollments.
Timeline:
In mid-September, we had some initial email validation issues during our nonprofit organization enrollment. Senior Advisor Kevin (case 102691832489) resolved those issues and cleared us to continue enrollment on September 16-17.
We continued immediately on September 17th, and our status changed to "Your enrollment is being processed" with enrollment ID UH4UT85YS3.
It's now been 28 days with no status changes, no requests for additional information, and no timeline.
Follow-up attempts:
I've called support three times (Sept 19, 26, and Oct 7). Each time I was told the application is "with a separate department they can't contact." They created additional cases but couldn't provide any updates or access to the reviewing team.
Questions for the community:
Is 28 days normal for nonprofit enrollment processing after continuing? Has anyone found a way to get status updates when regular support can't access the reviewing team? Is there a specific escalation path for nonprofit accounts that differs from standard enrollments?
We're a 501(c)(3) church launching an app for a capital campaign, so the delay is starting to impact our timeline. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Details:
Enrollment ID: UH4UT85YS3
Organization Type: Nonprofit 501(c)(3)
Continued enrollment: Sept 17, 2025
Current status: "Your enrollment is being processed"
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I want to enable developer program but after submitting the enrollment I see:
Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.

Problem
I’m trying to implement Sign in with Apple in my application. However, when my app redirects to the Apple authorization page at:
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize
I get an invalid_client error with no further explanation.
Settings
I followed this article closely:
[https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/06/04/what-the-heck-is-sign-in-with-apple#generate-the-client-secret]
Steps I have completed:
Created an App ID and a Service ID on Apple Developer Portal.
Enabled “Sign in with Apple” for both the App ID and the Service ID.
Added my domain and callback URL to the Service ID configuration. (I'm using ngrok to proxy my localhost during development.)
Linked an existing private key with “Sign in with Apple” capability.
My identifiers:
Service ID is used as client_id
Team ID is taken from the top right of the Apple Developer dashboard
Key ID is from the private key associated with the App
Environment
My backend is built with Laravel, and I'm using the [SocialiteProvider/Apple][https://socialiteproviders.com/Apple/#installation-basic-usage] library to handle the OAuth flow.
I followed the recommended method to generate a client secret (JWT) for each request, using this blog post:
[https://bannister.me/blog/generating-a-client-secret-for-sign-in-with-apple-on-each-request]
My .env configuration looks like this:
APPLE_CLIENT_ID=com.service.paxton.stockApp
APPLE_TEAM_ID=25729642DK
APPLE_KEY_ID=JFP9Q53ZCY
APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY=storage/AppleDev-AuthKey_JFP9Q53ZCY.p8
JWT Generation
I also tested generating the JWT using the Ruby script from the Okta article:
[https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/06/04/what-the-heck-is-sign-in-with-apple#generate-the-client-secret]
Here is the script I used:
require 'jwt'
key_file = './storage/AppleDev-AuthKey_JFP9Q53ZCY.p8'
team_id = '25729642DK'
client_id = 'com.service.paxton.stockObserve'
key_id = 'JFP9Q53ZCY'
ecdsa_key = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.new IO.read key_file
headers = {
'kid' => key_id
}
claims = {
'iss' => team_id,
'iat' => Time.now.to_i,
'exp' => Time.now.to_i + 86400*180,
'aud' => 'https://appleid.apple.com',
'sub' => client_id,
}
token = JWT.encode claims, ecdsa_key, 'ES256', headers
puts token
This JWT validates correctly. I’ve also used Apple’s public key to verify the signature, and it passed.
I verified the JWT header and payload format using this helpful article:
[https://fluffy.es/how-to-solve-invalid_client-error-in-sign-in-with-apple/]
Third-Party Testing
To eliminate mistakes in my setup, I even tried a third-party tool featured in this YouTube video:
[https://youtu.be/8v01TaX1EJA?si=0jOBGBVk0R0zbmdo]
Unfortunately, the result was the same — invalid_client.
Question
I’ve double-checked everything I can think of: keys, claims, domain whitelist, identifiers. I even verified the JWT independently.
If anyone (especially someone from Apple) can help identify the missing piece, I would be truly grateful.
Long Story Short: I got started, and bought the apple developer account for ~ $99, and It just said me the payment was successful, and:
How many days more should I be waiting ?
Also one more question, would I be able to test my apps over my iphone after having an active Apple Developer Account ?
Any help is much appreciated.
I’ve contacted support two or three times already and no response. I made the payment to create my Apple Developer account on the 26th and also received the invoice that same day, but the status still shows as pending. This is quite urgent, so I’m not sure what you can do on your side to help.

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.)
I originally created my Apple Developer account when I was living in Canada (years ago). Now that I live in the U.S. I want to renew it, but I can't - because it thinks I'm still in Canada. When I go to change my contact information, I get a screen that says:
"Unauthorized
Your account can’t access this page.
There may be certain requirements to view this content.
If you’re a member of a developer program, make sure your Account Holder has agreed the latest license agreement."
What do I do?
I can't enrol in apple developer program, every time i click enrol i got this message: "Your enrollement in tha Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time"

We registered as a developer company (NGO) more than 50 days ago and it's still under review. We've already sent the documents, we've confirmed by phone, and every time we contact them we receive no information. They just tell us it's under review and there's no deadline for when this review will be completed. On the same day we registered with Apple, we registered with Google and our app has been published on Google for more than 30 days. We have no support or answers. Could someone help us to at least know a deadline for this review?
Certain entitlements require special permission from Apple like DriverKit or Screentime API/Family controls.
Those entitlements are tied to the bundle IDs of the app.
If those entitlements have been granted for an app from developer A (personal account) and we transfer that app to developer B (organization account), including the bundle IDs, will those bundle IDs keep the entitlement?
Or will we need to re-request from the developer account B?
Any insights or experiences regarding this process would be greatly appreciated.

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?
How long does the new Apple Developer Program License Agreement take to take effect once you accept it?

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?
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.
The Account Holder is no longer able to log into apple (regardless of web-based or device based attempts). The membership will expire soon without access to the account holder.
Both workflows "iforgot.apple.com" and "iforgot.apple.com/unlock" did not lead to an answer email within several days. I tried several times.
So we are almost out of store without any option. Hotline did not show other options.
Any ideas?
Hello everyone,
I’m hoping to get some guidance or hear from others who may have experienced something similar.
I registered for the Apple Developer Program as a company on January 2nd, 2026
Since completing the registration, I haven’t received any updates, feedback, or requests for additional information. The application still appears to be pending, and I’m unsure if this delay is within the normal timeframe or if there’s something I may have missed.
I understand that company verification can take longer than individual enrollments, but I would appreciate any insight into:
Typical review timelines for company enrollments
Whether there’s a recommended way to follow up with Apple Developer Support
Any steps I can take to help move the process forward
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience or advice.
Best regards,
Curlback

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but every time I scan my ID, I get this error:
“Unable to Send Information – Your information could not be sent due to a connection error.”
I’ve tried different networks, devices, and browsers. I also asked several friends—both inside and outside the country—to try, and they all faced the same issue.
I contacted Apple Developer Support, but the experience was frustrating:
• Long wait times on the phone
• No real solutions beyond basic troubleshooting
• No explanation for the issue—just “Everything looks fine on our end.”
This seems like a widespread issue. Has anyone found a fix? Also, Apple really needs to improve their Developer Support.

Please see the image for reference. This is a 2020 MBP and ive tried over the past few days and its not recognizing that 26 is available for download.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
We are currently experiencing the following:
Developers who are invited to Appstore Connect in the "Administrator" role and are members of the development team no longer have access to the team's developer resources at https://developer.apple.com
Even after deleting the user and a new invitation, there is no access to the developer resources.
The problem has existed since yesterday and can be traced in several developer accounts.
