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?

Enrollment Completed on iPhone but Web Shows “Complete Your Purchase” and Status Pending
Hello Apple Developer Support Team, I completed my Apple Developer Program enrollment directly through the Developer app on my iPhone. The identity verification and payment were successfully processed. However, when I log in via the web, I still see the message “Complete Your Purchase,” and my enrollment status appears as Pending. The system seems to be asking me to proceed with enrollment again, even though the process was already completed on my iPhone. Could you please review my account and clarify the current status of my enrollment? Thank you for your assistance. Kind regards

No Renew button (membership)!
We had a work card attached to our developer's account. team ID 924RUYJZ34 dev ID 8771bf7b-31a9-4602-baae-02580fe5b6c4 Funds are debited from this card in other services, there are no problems with it, the amount in the account is sufficient. Our membership subscription did not renew automatically. The applications are blocked. We can't renew our subscription, there's no Renew button anywhere. There is no way to extend it on any device, web version, or anywhere else. We can't even cancel and re-arrange it, all the functions don't work. Please help us, how can we renew our subscription?!

Join WWDC in Apple Park
Thank you very much for choosing me to go to Apple Park to participate in WWDC. I am looking forward to participating in this event. May I ask you some questions? I am a young Apple Developer Program from China. And I am the winner of the Swift Student Challenge in 2024. I am over 13 years old. I used my own Developer account, not my parents', to apply for WWDC activities and all the events I carry out. Since I am under 18 years old, my parents may need to sign the Special Event Parental Permission Statement. Where can I find it? My parents will sign it. At the same time, I noticed that the bottom of the RSVP form requires me to guarantee that I am at least 18 years old, but I am not. And I used my own account to apply for WWDC, so I want to know how to meet this need? I need a non-immigrant visa to go to the United States. So, I need to prove to the visa officer that I have received an invitation from Apple. Could Apple send me a formal invitation letter to prove that I have received an invitation from Apple? At the same time, as a teenager, I need to go to the United States with my mother, so can you mention the information of my guardian (my mother) in the invitation letter? Ps: I am very independent. I am well aware that the number of people in WWDC is limited. My mother will not enter the venue unless otherwise required.

You do not have required contracts to perform an operation.
Hi, I need help with the error: “You do not have required contracts to perform an operation.” (ID: cc897baf-6551-474b-bbef-3dd5bdf89931) When I try to distribute an archived build from Xcode, App Store Connect shows a banner asking to review a new agreement. But when I click it, I’m redirected to Agreements, Tax and Banking, and there is no agreement to accept — the page is empty. I checked with the team, and none of us can see the agreement. Is it possible that the required agreement is available only to the Account Holder and not visible to Admin or Developer roles? Could you please clarify what exactly this error means and how we can locate the missing agreement? Thanks.

issue with implementing sign in with apple
Hi Apple team, I'm integrating Sign in with Apple on my website https://roomieqindia.com using a custom Node.js backend, and I'm consistently receiving this error: invalid_client My configuration: ✅ Service ID: com.roomieq.auth ✅ Team ID: 75XVX5RXMQ ✅ Key ID: (from Apple-generated .p8 key) ✅ Private Key: (.p8 key pasted correctly in backend) ✅ App ID Selected: com.roomieq.roomieq ✅ Domain Added: roomieqindia.com ✅ Return URL: https://roomieqindia.com ✅ Clicked Done → Continue → Save after configuration Behavior: When I open this URL directly in browser: https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?client_id=com.roomieq.auth&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Froomieqindia.com&response_type=code%20id_token&scope=name%20email&response_mode=web_message&frame_id=ef13a755-75bb-4eef-8dd6-73bd75d6ede5&m=11&v=1.5.5 I get invalid_client. My backend uses apple-signin-auth Node.js package to: Generate the client secret (JWT) Exchange auth code for tokens Verify ID token Everything fails at step 1 because Apple doesn’t seem to recognize my Service ID as valid. What I Need: Can you please verify if: My Service ID ( com.roomieq.auth ) is fully active and recognized My App ID and Service ID are properly linked on Apple’s end There are any hidden issues with domain or return URL setup Let me know if I need to reset the Service ID or regenerate anything. Thanks in advance!

Developer Program Membership Still Pending After Successful Payment (Turkey Region)
Hello , I need some help regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I purchased the Developer Program on December 3rd, 2025 at 16:03 (Turkey time). The payment was successfully processed by my bank, and I also received the official Apple Store receipt email confirming the purchase. However, my Developer account still shows: • “Purchase your membership” • “Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.” • Enrollment status: Pending • App Store Connect still not accessible It has now been more than 5 days, and the enrollment has not been activated. Here are the details: • Region: Turkey • Payment amount: 1029 TRY (local pricing for the Developer Program) • Payment status: Completed / Posted (not pending) • Case ID with Apple Support: 102769533427 • I have already opened a support case, but there has been no resolution yet. I would appreciate any guidance from others who experienced similar issues. Is this a known delay for Turkey-based accounts, or does it usually require manual activation by Apple Support? Any suggestions or insights would be very helpful. Thank you!

Long Delay in Apple Developer Program Enrollment Review
My Apple Developer Program Enrollment has been under review for over 6 weeks, and it is inside of the United States. Initially, I was informed that the Apple team would review the application and get back to us in 2 business days. However, I have not received any updates or resolutions since that initial communication. I have reached out to Apple Developer Support many times, and they told me that they cannot provide any updates and advised me to "simply wait." This delay is causing significant disruptions to our development timeline and impacting our business operations. Any idea of what I can do? I would greatly appreciate any insights from the community on how to address this situation effectively. Thank you so much!

My enrollment request (H9V8P25F67) has been accepted, but now I'm getting a Sign In error in App Store Connect
The epic saga of registering an Apple Developer Account for my company seems to have been successfully resolved. The full story can be read here My account has been approved, I've paid the membership fee, and everything appears to be in order. Huge thanks to everyone, especially the Apple staff members who didn't stay indifferent and went out of their way to help. Current status: My developer account is active. I can sign in to https://developer.apple.com/account and see that everything looks fine - there are no pending actions on my side (no agreements to sign, etc.), and the account appears completely normal. However, when I try to sign in to App Store Connect, I get the following error: To access App Store Connect, you must be an individual or team member in the Apple Developer Program, or invited by an individual to access their content in App Store Connect. (https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/login?errorKey=ITC.signin.error.invalidUser.asc) I'm attaching a screenshot. What I've already tried: Clearing browser cache, trying different browsers and devices, and waiting for some time — none of this helped. On May 9, I submitted a support request (Case ID: 20000112974233), but I still haven't received a response. My guess is that my account may have exhausted its Apple Developer Support request limit, since during the original issue I sent dozens of messages and may have used up my quota. This is just a hypothesis, but if I'm right, I would be very grateful if my ability to receive Apple Developer Support could be restored. Thank you in advance. For reference: similar case: I also did some research and found that another forum user had the same issue, which was resolved through Apple Developer Support (hopefully this helps point in the right direction): https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255265181 Thanks in advance for any help!

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.
