Help: Nowhere to Re-Enroll Apple Developer Account
Dear Apple Community, I have the below notification to re-enroll for Apple Developer account, but there is not button in any of these areas. I am looking for urgent help. Apple have not responded to my email requests. I am desperate for assistance. "Your Apple Developer Program membership has expired. Any apps you had on the App Store are no longer available for download and you can no longer access membership benefits. If you’d like to renew your membership to reinstate your apps and membership benefits, open the Apple Developer app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Sign in to your account, tap/click Renew, and follow the prompts.If you agreed to the Paid Applications Agreement, you’ll need to agree to it again after renewal in the Business section of App Store Connect." Please help. Best wishes and many thanks.

Delete defunct business
More than a decade ago I started a small business that distributed a few iOS apps. I foolishly created the business under my personal Apple account that I still use for all my computers, iPhones, everything. I'm on the verge of distributing a new iOS app, but when I sign into the Apple Developer Site, it only shows my old and now completely defunct company attached to my account. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete it and start over again. The company is completely shut down, bank accounts gone, tax id gone, publishing an app through it is a non-starter. I could create a new Apple account and use that to distribute my new app, but I'm worried that having Xcode and developer tools using one account, while all my devices are on a different account is going to cause endless friction. Has anyone had experience with either deleting an old company, or using a different alternate account for your Apple Developer and App Store Connect stuff? Thanks!

Question about Legal Entity
Hi To offer my app for sale, I have to edit legal entity and provide my address there. My question is - is this address going to be visible in app store? Or is it only for Apple internal use? As I understand it, that address will be visible for everyone in EU region? But if I disable its availability in EU, then the address won't be visible? I mean I am just a hobbyist and I just don't want my address to be right there

Can't register Apple Developer Account - stuck for 2.5 months
I set up a single-member LLC through Firstbase.io. My colleague obtained a DUNS number using the Certificate of Incorporation and EIN Verification Letter provided by Firstbase. Once we had the DUNS, I applied for an Apple Developer Account (Enrollment ID: 54AML988C5). I used my personal MacBook that I've had for years, but had to create a new Apple ID since I already have a personal Apple developer account that's been active for 8+ years. Documents I submitted with the enrollment: My passport EIN Verification Letter (with my name on it) Certificate of Incorporation A month later I received a rejection: "We're unable to proceed with your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program at this time. You can still take advantage of great content using your Apple Account to develop and test apps on your own device." Support doesn't respond to messages. The "Request a call" button on developer.apple.com/support literally does nothing — clicking it has no effect. I contacted D&B to make sure our company data was correct. They confirmed everything was fine, and at my request they updated the company profile so that my name now explicitly appears as Key Principal on the D&B website. Reached out to Apple support again — still no response. I then created a second Apple ID on our corporate domain (developer@mydomain_com) and submitted another enrollment (Enrollment ID: H9V8P25F67). Got the exact same rejection with the exact same wording. And once again — no response from support. What's especially surprising is that reaching out to Apple support from my personal developer account - which is active and in good standing - about this situation doesn't lead anywhere either. They simply don't respond. Has anyone dealt with this? What can actually be done here?

Apple Developer Account Shows “Closed” Status but App is Ready for Distribution – Unable to Access App Store Connect
Hi, I can sign in to my Apple ID, but my Apple Developer account shows a “closed” status and I’m unable to access App Store Connect features. My app is currently showing “Ready for Distribution,” so the account appears active, but developer access is restricted. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support and am waiting for their response. Also, I temporarily can’t access my primary email due to a verification issue, so I’ve provided an alternate contact email and phone number in my support request. Has anyone experienced a similar situation or knows possible reasons for a “closed” developer status while the app remains approved? Thanks.

Apple Developer Program Enrolment Stalled
Hi all, Has anyone else been getting stuck with the iOS Developer Program enrolment? I've been stalled for nearly two months, and is directly preventing us from releasing app updates to our users. Issue Summary: Our enrolment has been stuck at the status "Your enrolment is being processed" for approximately two months We have submitted the required details multiple times with no resolution The contact form for email and phone support returns the error: "there was a problem processing your request" Phone numbers listed for developer support in Ireland are either non-functional or connect to sales support only We contacted "contactus.ie at euro.apple.com", were again directed to sales support, and were told the matter would be escalated internally — this was nearly a month ago and we have received no further communication. It's very frustrating as our dev team has deployed two Android updates since. It's really impacting our products and I need to get this resolved asap. It's crazy that once the in built contact forms fail you are pretty much cut off from dev customer support. No email or phone number to get a hold of someone to resolve the block. All lines just lead back to sales support. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks Damian

Cannot Create Certificate Via API
I am no longer able to provision certificates using the App Store Connect API. I believe this stopped working around January 2026.

Unable to Renew Expired Apple Developer Program Membership – No Renew Button, Enroll Error
I'm hoping someone here has experienced the same issue and can point me in the right direction. My Apple Developer Program membership recently expired and my apps have been removed from the App Store. I've been trying to renew my membership but I'm completely stuck and cannot find a way forward. Here's what I've tried so far: Apple Developer App: There is no "Renew" button visible anywhere in the app. developer.apple.com/enroll: I receive the following error: "Sorry, you can't enroll at this time. Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership." developer.apple.com/account: The Membership Details section loads but there is no renewal option or button available. I am logged in with the correct Account Holder Apple ID, so that is not the issue. My payment method on file is also valid. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a direct link or a workaround that triggers the renewal flow? Or is contacting Apple Developer Support the only option at this point? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Problems
Hey everyone. This is probably the last straw I am trying to pull since I tried almost everything else. I have applied for the Apple Developer Program and the whole process started at the end of 2024. I got rejected the first time because Apple could not charge my card. It was clearly shown that the cost is $99, however, it was 106.65 Euros (I created a Revolut card with the $100 because I don't trust placing my card everywhere). I started the new process but this time I knew about the amount issue so I placed 150 Euros just to be safe. Automatic rejection with robotic AI response: "For one or more reasons, your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program couldn't be completed. We can't continue with your enrollment at this time." When I raised ticket about it I got no replies. Than both my friend and wife tried to apply for the program. Both rejected with the exact same messaging. I created a new Apple ID, new card, new everything and did everything "by the book". Again. Rejection with the same exact messaging: For one or more reasons, your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program couldn't be completed. We can't continue with your enrollment at this time... Can someone from Apple please tell me what are those reasons? I have been an Apple user for almost 10 years now. I was buying Apps from store. I am using iCloud+. Modest Citizen as some would say. What's the problem? How can I finally get to Apple Developer Program without being rejected by AI or some poor auto system?

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Stuck, cannot Proceed Past Enrollment Screen
I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program but cannot get past the enrolment screen in the Developer app on my Mac. When I click Enroll, it does not proceed to the payment screen, it just says unable to compete, contact support. I then received an email from Apple Developer Support saying my enrolment "couldn't be completed due to one or more reasons". I'm not even sure how that email is even helpful. I am an individual developer based in India trying to publish my first app on the App Store. My Apple ID is in good standing and I have no history of policy violations. Has anyone in India experienced this issue and resolved it? Is this a known problem with Indian Apple IDs or payment methods? Is there a way to enroll directly through the website instead of the Mac app? Any help appreciated.
