Mobile Device Management Enrollment Profile
I want to create a verified Mobile Device Management (MDM) profile for Apple devices. As we are developing a solution to manage customer-owned Apple devices by remotely installing and managing an MDM configuration profile (both supervised and unsupervised way). Any documentation, enrollment prerequisites (such as Apple Business Manager or Developer Enterprise Program), and support you can provide in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Issues with Apple Developer Account and Revoked Certificates
Hello, I am experiencing a critical issue with my Apple Developer Program account. I successfully enrolled months ago, and my subscription is active as per my account details. However, I am now unable to access my developer membership features, and when I sign into my account it redirects me to the enrollment page as if I had never enrolled. Key details of the issue: Active subscription: My Apple Developer Program membership is active and set to renew on 17 October 2025. The subscription page confirms this, and the payment was successfully processed. REVOKED CERTIFICATES: Certificates I created weeks ago have been revoked without any explanation or notification. No email notifications: I have not received any communication from Apple regarding issues with my account or certificates. Attempts to Resolve: Cleared cookies and cache. Tried logging in on multiple devices and browsers. Signed out of all devices and logged back in. Could someone please assist me in understanding why my account is behaving this way? Is there a specific team or channel I should contact to escalate this issue? Thank you in advance for your help!

No way to accept Updated Program License Agreement
When I login to my Dev account, I get a banner that says "The updated Apple Developer Program License Agreement needs to be reviewed. In order to update your existing apps and submit new apps to the App Store, the Account Holder must review and accept the updated agreement."However, when I go to Agreements, Tax, and Banking, I see both Free Apps and Paid Apps agreement, but when I click on View, there's nothing for me to accept. It's a pop-up window with a list of countries and a button at the end that says "Close". And that's it. No other action is possible. No other option either under the Action column.So then how can I review and accept it?

Is there any way of automating Apple Pay certificate generation in a CI/CD pipeline?
Hi everyone! I’m trying to automate the Apple Pay setup in a CI/CD pipeline for a preproduction environment. Right now, we are generating manually the Apple Pay certificates for both the root domain and merchant ID through the Apple Developer Portal, then manually upload them to our preproduction servers. My idea is to be able to automate this process for this environment. I’ve been digging through docs and forums but haven’t found any way to generate or renew these certificates automatically via an API or any other method. Does anyone know if Apple offers something like this? Or if not, what’s the best way to handle this in an automated workflow? I've been thinking about a web driver, but I'm not a big fan of this kind of solution. Thanks a lot for any ideas or advice!

Unable to Renew Dev Subscription - My Never Ending Saga
Each year I get my renewal email from Apple, however, since 2019 (yes, this is the 4th year in a row) I've been unable to renew due to this infamous "Please enter fewer characters" error message. Each time I've had to open a support case, talk to someone on the phone, they take all of my details along with screenshots, etc. and manually renew my subscription. Once they've charged my card I never hear from them again and issue never gets resolved. IDK if any Apple Dev Support folks actually use this forum but this is ridiculous.

Applying for Developer Program outside of supported regions
Hello, I'm currently living in Finland and would like to apply for the developer program in order to develop an app for the Apple Vision Pro. I understand that Finland is not supported in this matter, so I thought about making an German AppleID, since that is supported in the AVP App Store, and enroll in the program with that. The problem is that, since I'm not a German citizen nor have a residency there, would that cause a problem in the identity verification process? Is this allowed at all? If not, are there any workarounds to be able to get the developer account outside of supported regions? Thank you!

My account registration is stuck indefinitely, and the support team hasn’t resolved it! Before hosting developer conferences, shouldn’t Apple at least ensure the registration process works for developers?
My account application was rejected, and I’ve been stuck in limbo! The outdated process needs an update! To the Apple Developer Support Team, I am a developer currently applying for an Apple Developer Account. Below is a brief summary of the technical obstacles I encountered during my registration process on June 4th, along with suggestions for process optimization: Problem Overview During registration, the payment confirmation page froze for approximately 10 minutes with no loading indicators. Without any error codes or timeout messages on the interface, I was forced to restart the registration process 3 times. Conflict with App Store daily purchase limits was identified when accessing via mobile. After resolving the limit issue, the registration system continued to display a “Contact Support” error. I immediately reached out to the support team. Support Team Interaction The support team repeatedly responded with vague updates like “awaiting system synchronization,” offering no estimated resolution time or escalation path. I was told to either “wait indefinitely” or “try again with a different identity.” Wait, I’m just trying to register with my own credentials—why can’t I proceed after a 10-minute attempt? Impact Account access restrictions have halted my ability to develop applications. Optimization Suggestions User Experience Enhancements: Implement real-time alerts (e.g., pop-ups, notifications) for payment-related issues on desktop to avoid silent failures. Add a pre-registration check for App Store balance/limit conflicts. Transparency & Accountability: Replace opaque “black-box” error handling with clear, rule-based guidance for developers. Provide a dedicated escalation channel and ensure timely human intervention for unresolved issues. As a developer committed to the iOS ecosystem, I acknowledge the complexity of account systems but believe targeted UX adjustments could prevent cascading failures like this. I welcome technical discussions to resolve my current registration blockage and collaborate on preventive measures.

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?!

Apple tries to double charge me for enrollment
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?
