So I started an LLC and will be getting into app development on apple, but I am still waiting on my DUNS number. If I sign up for a personal account now, am I later able to switch over to an organization account easily using the same account? Or should I wait until I receive my DUNS number?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I keep getting stuck in a frustrating loop. After logging in, I’m asked to agree to the Apple Developer Agreement. I accept the terms, but then it redirects me to an error page that says: “You’ve already agreed to the Apple Developer Agreement. Continue to your account or sign out.” When I click “Continue to your account,” it just brings me back to the same agreement page—and the cycle repeats endlessly. To make things worse, I can’t contact Apple Developer Support because I apparently need an active account to do so, which puts me right back into the same loop. I’ve also tried enrolling from different Apple devices, but I keep receiving this error: internal exception occurred ErrorCode: 991991 ErrorMessage: The request cannot be processed at this time. Please try again later. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a known fix or workaround? I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions on how to break out of this loop or get in touch with Apple support. Thanks in advance!

I purchased an Apple Developer Account on Saturday. It is now Wednesday and my account has still not been activated. I filed a help ticket but it has not been responded to yet.

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

I have purchased membership for personal use to see how publishing app works. The cost was taken from the credit card I had given. but when i check my account its still reflecting the same "Purchase your membership" and ask me to purchase again

A couple days ago I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual, filled out my address and payment information, paid the fee, my bank account got charged, and I received an email with a receipt and order number. The email with the receipt says the following: To access your membership resources and benefits, visit Account on the Apple developer website. Simply sign in with the Apple ID you used to enroll. Please note that no package will be shipped to you, and you can begin using your membership resources right away." If I click on my order number it says: "Enrollment Complete", "Electronically Delivered(Completed)", and "Thanks for being a part of the Apple Developer Program.". However, when I sign in to my account on developer.apple.com, and then click on account, it says "Pending", "Purchase your membership." and, "To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now.", If I already paid and my order says, "Enrollment Complete", why do I still not have access to sign any builds. I would think this would be instant approval being that I live in the US, and have already been charged, but I guess not. Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so what was the resolution?

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

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.

I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I keep encountering this error message: "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." Initially, I tried using a newly created Apple ID, and when that didn’t work, I attempted it with my older Apple ID. Unfortunately, I received the same error both times. Has anyone experienced this issue or knows what might be causing it? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for my current company. Everything seemed fine, but since yesterday, I keep encountering an 'Unknown Error' when I try to complete the enrollment. I've checked my internet connection, updated my device, and tried multiple browsers, but the issue persists. Has anyone experienced this before or have suggestions on how to resolve it?

I have been trying from a long time now to register for Apple Developer Account for my company but every time I am getting the Same Unknown Error. And I have tried contacting the support team from a long time but haven't received any resolution.

I'm at my wit's end with Apple's ridiculous timeframes! They promise 2 days but then completely ghost you for weeks. Here I am, literally trying to give them my money and get things moving, but it's like hitting a brick wall over and over. I've tried everything - even set up a whole separate account - and what do I get? Just more 'pending' status. No updates, no explanations, just endless waiting. How is it possible for a trillion-dollar company to make something as simple as accepting payment so infuriatingly difficult?

Around 2012, we developed an Apple app. Due to the team's lack of technical maturity at the time, my partner eventually gave up on further development. Later, around 2019, I logged into one of my Apple IDs, and it showed that the registration was in progress with the button grayed out. Today, in order to register as a developer, I specifically bought a new iPhone 17 from JD.com. The process went smoothly at first, but after filling in my name and address, completing the facial verification, it just logged me out. Now, when I open Developer, the registration button is grayed out again. It’s quite frustrating. I had hoped the new phone would solve the issue. Back in 2019, I encountered the same problem—I tried logging in on different devices, including my wife’s phone and an iPad, but none worked. Could it be that even a newly registered account would face the same issue today? As someone eager to publish an app, this is truly disappointing. I’m not sure if it’s a system problem or something else. I remember that in 2012, we didn’t do anything wrong, but the team wasn’t technically mature enough, and I urged my partner to keep working on it, though he eventually gave up. Now, as I try to register again, I’ve filled in everything today—my bank card (a debit card), completed facial verification, entered my ID card details, and provided my address. But I never reached the payment step. In the end, when I open Developer, the registration button is grayed out. I hope to find out why this is happening, but I haven’t gotten any answers—just like years ago when customer support simply suggested re-registering without a clear explanation. However, registering with someone else’s information could lead to issues later on. I hope to find a solution.

Beginning yesterday and still continuing when I go to log into my developer account (both iOS and OS X) I am presented with a new Terms and Agreement page. The agreement is not displayed, I am unable to download the PDF and when I check the Agree box then Submit it returns me to the same page. I am unable to contact support as all of the links are invalid or I get kept being sent back tot eh Terms & Agreement page.How do I get out of this black hole?

I have received an invitation to a development team in the Apple Developer Program. Having filled the form out and completing the image challenge successfully, tapping on continue simply results in the button graying itself out. The JavaScript console shows the following error when this happens: { code: -4 data: "Destination unavailable. 500" message: "Application error." } I have tried this process in Safari, Chromium, as well as on mobile data on my iPhone, and the result is the same each time. Other messages in the console: [Warning] 30 console messages are not shown.

Hello everyone, I've encountered an issue with export compliance on App Store Connect that I haven't seen before. In my Info.plist, I have always set the ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption key (formerly App Uses Non-Exempt Encryption) to NO. In the past, this was sufficient to bypass the export compliance questions when submitting a build. However, with my most recent submission, I am now being prompted to answer these questions. Nothing has changed in my app's encryption usage. Has there been a recent change in policy or a system-wide issue that would cause this change in behavior? Is anyone else experiencing this? Thank you for your help.

How do I get a response from anyone after completing this web-form? I have paid subscription, sent ID documents months ago, but still cannot get past this page

We are Chengdu Wang Lida Technology Co., Ltd.. Over the past year, we invested tremendous time, effort, and resources to successfully launch our app on the App Store. However, despite spending a full year developing and finally getting our app approved, just one month after its launch, we suddenly received an email notifying us that our developer account had been suspended for one year due to a violation of Section 3.2(f) (fraudulent behavior). We are deeply confused and disappointed. As developers, we have never engaged in any fraudulent or misleading activities. We have always operated in full compliance with Apple’s Developer Program Agreement and platform guidelines. Our question is: who would deliberately engage in fraudulent behavior after spending an entire year developing and launching an app? What’s even more heart-wrenching is the impact this decision has had on our team. Due to the overwhelming pressure, our project leader suffered a sudden heart attack and was rushed to the ICU. As team members, we are devastated and feel the immense psychological and emotional toll this account suspension has caused. We are now calling on the Apple community and Apple Inc. to help us clarify this misunderstanding and resolve the issue. We firmly believe that such an arbitrary and unfounded account suspension decision should not be made. As developers, we should have the opportunity to communicate and clarify before such drastic actions are taken. We will be filing complaints against Apple’s inexplicable account suspension both on the developer forums and in the media. We will fight this inequality with all we have, and stand for fairness and justice. We are more than willing to cooperate with Apple, providing all the necessary evidence and data to prove that our actions were fully compliant. We sincerely request that Apple review our case and provide a reasonable explanation and solution. As a small development team, we have invested all of our money and effort into this app. It is not just our job; it is our dream. We cannot accept seeing our hard work destroyed by such a misunderstanding. We will continue to fight for fairness and justice, and we hope for a fair resolution. Thank you for your attention and support. We will continue to pursue all legal channels to ensure that our team and our product get the rights they deserve.

I enrolled to the program via the Developer app and paid for the subscription, got my receipt. The app now says the enrollment is not available. Xcode says I have no developer account. The Appstore mac app says the subscription is active. The developer website says I need to pay. Again. Is this some kind of scam or what?
