Developer iOS 26.3
Hello, guys. I am going through a situation in which an open validation appears in the system/developer mode and I would like to understand better if this is something normal in this process. Could someone confirm if this type of validation is expected at this stage? I would also like to know what criteria I can observe to be sure that it is legitimate and that I can trust the activation. Thank you in advance for your attention and help. Thank you

Apple Developer Enrollment Issues
I enrolled for the Apple Developer Program last Thursday (Feb 12) - no status update apart from a message I've seen others have thus processed payment: Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process. I've reached out to support twice now, no luck. Anything that worked for someone in the same boat? I have a test group planned and would need to apply my app for testflight as soon as possible to leave some headroom.

Unable to register with ADP
I attempted to register with ADP from the developer app. After entering my driver's license, address, and name, a pop-up appeared stating “There may be an issue with your account.” Subsequently, the “Register Now” button for ADP within the app became inactive. What could this account issue be? I would like to know how to proceed with registering with ADP.

App Stuck in "Waiting for Review" since February 5th (13+ Days) – Unusual Delay?
Hey everyone, Is anyone else seeing massive delays right now? I submitted my app, Brew Routes, on February 5th and it has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for over 13 days. No messages in the Resolution Center and no status changes. I’m hesitant to reject and resubmit because I don't want to lose my spot in the queue. Apple ID: 6758462674 Submitted: Feb 5, 2026 Status: Waiting for Review Platform: iOS / Capacitor Is it worth requesting an expedited review at this point, or are others seeing this same February backlog?

Guideline 3.2.1(viii): Loan app rejected — Product Page domains “not under my control” & Apple Account email domain requirement (App Store Connect metadata)
Hello Apple Developer Forums, My iOS app provides loan services and was rejected under Guideline 3.2.1(viii) with the following message: “The app provides loan services but the domains listed on the app’s Product Pages are not clearly under your control or ownership… Update the Product Page metadata to only include domains you both own and that are used as email domains for Apple Accounts registered to your developer account… Account Holder and Admin users should use emails with domains that identify the company providing loan services.” I’m trying to understand exactly what Apple expects and how to pass review. What I’ve already checked / updated I own a company domain (ikiela.org) and I can create emails on this domain Questions For loan apps, does Apple require that all Product Page fields (Support URL, Marketing URL, Privacy Policy URL, Support Email, etc.) use the same domain that matches the financial institution? What are the best practices to prove domain ownership/control (DNS, website content, legal pages, email domain setup, etc.) that typically satisfy App Review for Guideline 3.2.1(viii)? Context Thanks in advance for any help, especially from Apple staff or developers who have already resolved this rejection.

Apple Developer Account Not Activated After Payment Confirmation
I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program more than 48 hours ago around 4 days ago. The payment was successfully charged to my card, and I received a subscription confirmation email. However, my developer account is still not activated, and I’m unable to access the full developer features. Has anyone experienced a similar delay? Is there anything specific I should do, or does activation take longer than expected , i tried to contact support twice throw mail but i got no response ! Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Enrollment options
I'm stuck with enrollment. Tried through the website 3 times weeks ago - still shows pending, wasn't charged, never received any confirmations. Tried through the app - the only option for identity verification I have is Driver's license (amazing), and mine is from a different country then my current residence. Tried uploading it anyway together with a residence permit - rejected. Tried contacting them - the only option I have is an email, they always reply like once every ~4 days, constantly changing people responding who lose the context of conversation, ask meaningless questions and give ridiculous advices like "check your internet connection". Imagine waiting a week for a response and then this new guy hits you with "Do you still wish to enroll?". $99/year for this premium experience. Is there any other way to get it?

Organization enrollment paused due to ID verification — best way to proceed after updating passport?
Hi, I’m trying to understand the correct process for Apple Developer Program organization enrollment when identity verification cannot be completed due to an outdated passport photo. Based on our last communication, I believe the enrollment was paused/declined because my passport photo didn’t match my current appearance (I’m assuming this because the last communication we had was specifically about my passport photo). I have since obtained a new passport with an updated photo. Timeline for context: • Jan 9: My enrollment was put on hold / could not proceed after ID verification. • Jan 12: I applied for a new passport with an updated photo. • After receiving the new passport, I followed up to provide the updated ID, but I’m not sure what the correct next step is in the enrollment workflow. Could you please advise the recommended way to proceed? • Should I submit a new organization enrollment, or can the existing one be re-opened/continued? I couldn’t find a way to resubmit/continue the existing enrollment from my side. • What is the proper channel to submit the updated ID again (for example, via the file-upload link or another path)? • If there is a standard escalation path for enrollment/verification cases, what is the best way to follow it? We’ve completed our testing and preparation on other platforms, but we haven’t been able to complete the iOS side due to this enrollment issue, which is blocking our overall product launch. I’m sure you’re handling a very high volume of enrollment requests from all over the world every day. We’re a small/new team and we’ve been working on this for a long time, so any guidance on the correct process would be greatly appreciated. Enrollment ID: K5WNDGXN9T Thank you.

Apple Developer Account Not Activated After One Month
We purchased an Apple Developer Program membership on 20th January, and even after nearly one month, the account is still not activated. The Apple Developer app continues to display “You will receive an email soon,” but we have not received any communication from Apple so far. This is a first-time subscription, and the prolonged activation delay is impacting our development and release timelines. We would appreciate clarification on the reason for this delay and guidance on the next steps.
