Enrollment Stuck for Over 2 Weeks – No Response
We applied for the Apple Developer Program more than two weeks ago, and our application is completely stuck with no updates or clear next steps. Despite providing all required documents (Company registration, D-U-N-S number, ID verification, etc. and several times !), we are still waiting for approval, while there is nothing complicated (EU citizens, UK company) We've reached out multiple times to Apple Support but have received no concrete answers or timeline for when our application will be reviewed. Meanwhile, we have successfully completed similar processes with Google, Meta, and financial institutions like banks or PSP, all within 48h ! How can a company like Apple treat its partners this way? The lack of transparency in the approval process is frustrating and severely impacts our timeline. This kind of experience does not inspire trust or confidence in doing business with Apple... 🔹 Has anyone else experienced such long delays in the enrollment process? 🔹 Is there any way to escalate this to get an actual response? Apple, please address this issue and provide a clear resolution. Thank you.

Unresponsive Developer Support
My business is trying to renew our Apple Account. On renewal we get a message saying we’ll receiving an enrollment status email soon - we are yet to receive one and it’s been over a week. Our Apps have since been removed from the App Store. We have multiple cases open with Developer Support, the only response to date was with a number to call. That number was for consumer support and thus couldn’t help. How can we get hold of someone to assist? This is having a massive impact on our business.

iPhone HCE CardSession handlin
Hi, I'm wondering if there is any better documentation relating to card session handling. The informations are kind of limited: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corenfc/cardsession/ It's not clear what should be used for keeping session or should it be created again after each transaction ? When I create a card session I pass the transaction but when at the and I call stopEmulation on card session than there is a problem with another transaction. What about the NFCPresentmentIntentAssertion? I know there's not information about "maximum suppression duration". I may only check isValid or acquire() on it. There's no information about how to properly manage it for another transaction. To sum up is that I would like to know should I create the new cardSession for each transaction (which would be strange cause it looks like singleton for me). If theres any impact when calling stopEnumaltion to cardSession or the startEmulation function may be called? The main issue is the 'double tap' flow where user must authenticate him during transaction.

I completed the enrollment for my company in 2024
Hi! I completed the enrollment for my company on April 22, 2024. And since then we have successfully placed our application in the Store and continue to work on it. On March 27, 2025, I needed to renew my participation in the Apple Developer Program and I did it successfully - I received a confirmation letter from you. However, later I discovered that my order was canceled and now, when I go to developer.applе.com, I am offered to go through the enrollment procedure! I'm confused! It is not clear what to do in such a situation?! I will be grateful for any help!

Migrate Entitlement to Capability
I work on an app that has the com.apple.developer.mail-client entitlement. We're interested in trying out Xcode Cloud, and one of the project and workspace requirements is to use automatic code signing. We do not do this at the moment because it's not compatible with the additional entitlement. My understanding is that we can migrate to automatic code signing if we migrate the additional entitlement to a capability and that to accomplish this our account holder needs to submit a request (see the last section of that page). We submitted the request a little over 3 weeks ago, but so far we haven't heard any updates. We also tried reaching out directly to the email address linked in the com.apple.developer.mail-client docs, but have not heard back. We're now posting here to see if anyone can provide some guidance on whether there are other steps to complete or contacts to whom we should reach out. Thanks!

No Response from Apple Developer Support for Over 3 Weeks (Ref: 102519221138)
We are experiencing serious issues with Apple Developer Support. We submitted a support request with reference number 102519221138 over three weeks ago, but despite multiple follow-ups (three times so far), we have received no response. This lack of support is extremely frustrating, as we are currently completely blocked from publishing our app due to this unresolved issue. The delays are impacting our release timeline and causing significant problems for our team. It feels like the Apple Developer Support is non-existent, and we are unsure how to proceed. Has anyone experienced similar issues or found an alternative way to escalate their case? Any advice or experiences would be highly appreciated.

Unable to Renew Developer Membership
This really shouldn't be this difficult. Here's the situation: We had a card linked to our Apple Developer account, which expired. It had already seen 2 successful membership purchases. We had auto-renewal turned on for the membership, which failed due to the expired card. I was unable to capture new payment details for about 2 days (battling with various Apple payment pages to get the new card added). But finally managed to do so. Now, there is no way to disable auto-renewal, and no way to trigger renewal. The membership is in expired status. We can't post updates, we can't take apps live. We have several clients eagerly awaiting publication of their apps. And Apple Support has been silent for over two weeks despite numerous requests. Anyone have any idea how to resolve this? I've tried almost every option described on every forum post.

Apple Contact Forms not working
Hi, I need to contact Apple developer support. But on "Call Me" - it get a response to say the email is invalid (it is a telephone number!). I can also see in dev tools it fails with "errorToken": "EMAIL_VALIDATION_FAILED". "errorMessage": "Given emailAddress : xxxx is Invalid", I get the same error on the "Send a Message" form. The other members of my team also have the same problem, so we have no way to contact support.

Unable to use API key to create new app in CI
Hi, We run an app house where we're creating a new app through our store for clients every few weeks. We've been using the Apple ID login through fastlane to create new apps in our CI, however we find having to log in to multiple machines every few weeks very frustrating, as it requires 2fa, and always seems to happen right when the system admins are on leave. We've tried to use the API key instead however creating apps doesn't appear to be supported, as we get a 403 error stating we can't use create. This was with the App manager role. Is it at all possible to crate an app using the api key, turn off the timeout on the ID Login or, automate this so we don't need to log in every few weeks?
