Hello Apple Developer Community, I am experiencing an ongoing issue while enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an Organization. I have successfully completed the enrollment process and reached the membership payment stage. However, every time I attempt to pay the enrollment fee, the payment is declined. I contacted my bank, and they confirmed that no payment request or transaction attempt was received from Apple. I have also contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times, but unfortunately, the issue remains unresolved. This situation has delayed our ability to complete enrollment and publish our applications. I would appreciate any advice on the following: Has anyone experienced this issue and successfully resolved it? Why would Apple decline a payment before the transaction even reaches the bank? Is there an alternative payment method available for Organization accounts? How can I escalate this issue to the appropriate Apple team for a proper investigation? I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has faced a similar situation or knows how to resolve it. Thank you for your time and assistance.

I'm an EU citizen legally resident in Denmark, trying to enroll as an individual. I've been blocked since October 7 (case 102988764176) and I've run out of routes: Danish Apple Account, Apple Developer app: verification with my Danish driving licence fails. First "not accepted for your region", now "Verification could not be completed at this time. Please contact support." New Apple Account set to Italy, Apple Developer app: the only document offered is a driver's license. Passport isn't selectable, even though the enrollment documentation says passports are accepted in most regions. I hold an Italian passport but no Italian driving licence. Web enrollment with the Italian account: after entering my address and accepting the agreement, I get "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred." Same in Firefox and Chrome. Support has sent one generic troubleshooting checklist. My email of October 19 has had no reply, and a callback I requested on October 28 never came. I've seen similar reports from Germany and Austria where only a driver's license is offered, so this looks like a regional configuration issue rather than a problem with my documents. Could someone from Apple look at case 102988764176, or tell me how to get a manual identity review? Has anyone in a similar situation found a way through?

I am now 41 days into enrolling my U.S. LLC in the Apple Developer Program, and I am beyond frustrated. I am angry. My enrollment was already approved on October 9, but I still cannot pay the $99 membership fee or publish my applications. Timeline Sep 24: Submitted organization enrollment. Oct 1–9: Repeated support requests, document submissions, and manual identity verification. Finally approved on October 9. Oct 9–15: Payment failed with multiple cards. My banks confirmed Apple never sent authorization requests. Oct 15: Apple instructed me to restart enrollment through the Developer app. Identity verification then failed, despite the same passport having passed manual verification. Oct 15–26: Submitted screenshots, screen recordings, and diagnostic information. Followed up nine times without receiving a meaningful response. Oct 21–22: Tried phone support and the Developer Forums. Apple reset enrollment, but the same verification error persisted. Oct 26: A new advisor suggested returning to website enrollment — where the original payment problem occurred. Oct 28: Support said the case had been escalated to Engineering. Nov 2–3: Still being asked to reinstall the app, update devices, and adjust camera positioning. Tried everything on two devices. Same error. My frustration At this point, I feel more like an unpaid tester for Apple's enrollment system than a customer trying to purchase a developer membership. I have followed every troubleshooting instruction, often responding the same day. Yet Apple provides no findings, no concrete solution, and no estimated resolution date. Worse, the communication process itself is unacceptable. I reply to an email, wait several days or even a week, and receive another basic troubleshooting instruction. I am left stranded while my business and product launches remain blocked. What I am asking Apple I am not asking to bypass any verification requirements. I need Apple to take ownership and provide a concrete resolution. Please restore my previously approved enrollment, provide manual identity verification, or fix the underlying payment issue. I also request direct communication with someone who can actually coordinate a resolution — by phone or video call if necessary — rather than continuing this endless email cycle. After 41 days, I need a solution and a realistic timeline, not another round of troubleshooting. I can provide my enrollment details and support case numbers privately to Apple staff.

Hello Apple Developer Program Support, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual and paid on 26 October 2026 (invoice MD24361879, Apple ID aligikian13@icloud.com). Ten days later the portal still shows “To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now. Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.” I have opened three support requests through the developer contact form, including case 103012679750, and replied to the case email. None has received a response. The likely cause is that the enrollment record carries the name “Naqi Shah”, which is not my legal name. My Apple Account (account.apple.com, Personal information) and my government ID both read “Syed Ali Naqi”. The name field is locked in the portal, so I cannot correct it myself. Please correct the enrollment name to Syed Ali Naqi, re-run verification and complete the enrollment, or tell me exactly what you need from me. If this cannot be resolved within a few business days, please escalate it. Thank you, Syed Ali Naqi General Manager, Heaven AI L.L.C-FZ heavenaiuae.com

Hello, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual, but my enrollment is blocked due to an “ID Verification Rejected” status in the Apple Developer app. I contacted Apple Developer Support and received instructions requesting a screen recording and identity verification documents. However, I was told that a separate email containing a secure upload link would be sent to me. Unfortunately, I never received that email. I have followed up with Apple Developer Support several times regarding my existing case, but I have not received a response. I also cannot create a new support request because the system indicates that I already have an active request. Could someone from Apple Developer Support please advise how I can proceed or help me get the secure document upload link resent? Thank you.

Hello, could a forum moderator please change my username from TenThijeBoonkkamp to coenttb? It's the name I use everywhere now, including on the Swift Forums. I haven't really posted here, so little would be affected. Thank you!

Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I am writing to request a review of my Apple Developer Program enrollment status. I recently completed the required identity verification process and submitted all requested documents. I also received an email indicating that I could proceed with enrollment. However, when continuing the enrollment flow, I was informed that the account cannot be provided at this time, without any additional explanation. I would appreciate it if you could kindly: Confirm whether my Apple ID is eligible for enrollment Clarify if any further action is required from my side Advise whether I may reattempt enrollment or if there is any restriction on my account I understand that certain decisions may be based on internal review criteria; however, I would be grateful for any guidance on how to proceed so I can complete enrollment successfully and continue development activities, including TestFlight distribution. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hi, I seem to be having problems with enrollment, I have submitted the payment several times, but do not seem to have been approved or confirmed as a dev yet. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have no option to contact support.

Hi, I tried to sign up for an Apple Developer account. Apple rejected my ID because it isn't from the same country as the one I live in. I live in Thailand and my passport is Canadian. I have opened 2 support tickets with Apple Developer Program support and have had no response after 2 weeks. Has anyone been in this situation? Is there a way to get through identity verification and complete enrollment, and if so, how? Any advice appreciated.

my passport doesn't has any street address. or my house number but without any optional street address i am always getting invalid address. also i am unable to go back and change address. if i add my house number and upload my id will it get approved whats the solution around it?

With Xcode 27.1 (27A9275) and an iOS 27.0.1 (24A446) physical device, the UI-test runner starts, then fails about 60 seconds later with com.apple.dt.XCTest.XCTFuture, code 1000: “Timed out while enabling automation mode.” No business test method starts (0 methods started). What is the officially supported, targeted diagnostic entry point for this XCTest initialization boundary? Specifically: What supported configuration and logging level expose the runner sending an automation-mode RPC, device testmanagerd receiving it, testmanagerd sending a reply, and the runner receiving that reply? Which timestamps and session/request correlation fields associate those events across the runner and testmanagerd? Can collection be limited to one device, one test attempt, these processes, and a short time window? What minimal text fields are necessary? Can unrelated-app data, screenshots, audio/video, runner environment values, credentials, and personal information be excluded? Please specify any required setup and how to disable or remove it afterward. We need a supported entry point and a precise, minimal privacy scope before changing configuration or collecting broader diagnostics. A general CoreDevice or sysdiagnose workflow alone does not establish that these RPC send/receive events will be recorded.

Hello, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual, and enrollment fails at Review and Accept. The web flow ends at developer.apple.com/enroll/error with "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred." The Apple Developer app says "Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account" and sends me back to the website. Details: Apple Account region: Armenia Trusted phone number: Armenian (+374) Two-factor authentication: on Enrollment type: Individual Could Developer Support please review my case and tell me what is blocking the enrollment and what I need to do to continue? If anyone has recently enrolled as an individual from Armenia, I would also appreciate hearing what worked for you. Thank you.

Hey, does anyone know how long the enrolment process needs? enrollment ID is QARGL6A9YV - maybe someone can help, we wanna start as soon as possible :-)

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm reaching out to ask whether anyone else is currently experiencing unusually long review times in App Store Connect. Our app, NumbuX, has been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status for approximately three weeks, without any updates or requests for additional information. We understand that review times can vary, but this delay seems significantly longer than usual. I would appreciate any clarification regarding the following: Are there any known technical issues or backlogs affecting the App Store review process? Are other developers experiencing similar delays? Is there a recommended way to escalate or request an update when an app remains in "Waiting for Review" for several weeks? Could there be an issue with our submission that is preventing it from progressing, even though no action is requested in App Store Connect? We want to ensure that there is nothing missing on our side and that our submission is being processed correctly. We have also opened few tickets in different areas and we have not had any replied yet. Is anyone in the same situation? Thank you in advance for any information or guidance.

Versions under discussion: Apple Command Line Tools: 26.5.0.0.1777544298 LLDB: 2100.0.17.108 Components: lldb, LLDB.framework, debugserver I am seeking documented capability boundaries for observing an owned test process on macOS, rather than reporting a reproduced defect. Earliest observation point For a process launched under LLDB/debugserver, what is the earliest guaranteed stopped point? Is there a supported workflow that establishes observation before dyld and image initializers execute, or is observation necessarily established later? Please distinguish an exec stop, a stop at main, and images already present at the first stop. Event completeness and loss detection Are image-load/unload notifications a complete, ordered event stream, including shared-cache/preexisting images? Can library-initializer execution be observed with equivalent guarantees? What documented sequence, overflow, or dropped-event indication lets a client detect an incomplete observation, rather than treating a snapshot or lack of events as proof of completeness? Process ownership and reaping In launch versus attach modes, which process actually creates the target and which process consumes its terminal wait status? What documented behavior applies if the LLDB frontend or debugserver exits unexpectedly? In particular, how can a controller distinguish a termination signal being sent from the target actually being reaped, without competing with another wait-status consumer? Pointers to documentation or source/build references matching these components would be appreciated. If any of these guarantees are unsupported, an explicit limitation would also answer the question.

It annoys me that Xcode keeps downloading Simulators automatically, even though I haven't asked for them. Under Settings > Components > Other Installed Platforms I see iOS Simulator iOS 18.0 uptil 18.5. These are eating space in /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Caches/dyld/25E253. Is there a way to prevent these automatic downloads?

Hello, I completed enrollment and paid for the Apple Developer Program on Oct 22nd, but my account still does not show an active membership. I have not received an explanation of what is holding up the enrollment. I opened a Developer Support case on October 25 and sent a second request on November 2. Both were acknowledged, but I have not received a substantive reply or status update. I also called general Apple Support, but they said they could not help with Developer Program enrollment or transfer me to Developer Support. I haven’t found a direct phone option for the Developer Support team. Could someone advise what I should check on my side, and whether there is an official way to have a paid enrollment reviewed or escalated? If you’ve resolved a similar issue, I’d appreciate hearing what helped. I can provide my case numbers and payment confirmation through Apple Support if needed. Thank you.

My Apple Developer enrollment has been stuck under review for almost 3 months. I've contacted Apple Support multiple times but haven't received a response. Case number: 103017118524 Has anyone experienced this or found a solution?

Using Xcode 27.1 RC, the iPhone Duo simulator (Device Hub) only comes with the Settings and Safari apps. Am I missing something? Are there plans to have the usual simulator apps such as Photos, Calendar, Reminders, Maps, etc.? In these early stages it would be really nice to have some real apps to look at for examples of how some things should work/appear on the Duo in different layouts.
