I tried to apply for the developer account from September to November. But the status is always "Pending". I reached out to Apple support and they said they cannot receive my payment from bank. The bank transaction is "Pending" as well. I asked the bank support and they said they have allowed Apple to collect the $99 USD money. And Apple support said it's the responsibility of the bank to give Apple the money. And the Apple support recommended me to use the Developer app to apply for the Developer Program. But the app requires US driver’s license or state identification card to verify. I'm not a US citizen so I cannot use the Developer app. I'm forced to use the website. I'm so confused and want to know: Isn't it the responsibility of Apple to collect the money authorized by the bank? The status of my last three bank transactions are still "Pending" and the bank said it's the responsibility of Apple to collect the money. They cannot cancel the pending transaction. I feel like a piece of shit being thrown around by terrible customer services. I really want to cry.

Looking for advice: I've been automatically rejected from Apple's Developer Program without an explanation. Hi everyone, It seems I’ve hit a brick wall, so I’m reaching out to see if anyone here has experienced something similar to this or has any advice or resources to share. I recently attempted to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but my application was immediately denied after submission. Within one second of submitting my driver’s license, the app stated that Apple was unable to verify my identity and that I needed to reach out to Developer Support for further assistance. When I first contacted Developer Support for clarification, the representative was happy to help. After being taken off hold, she said she couldn't offer any more information, but assured me that I'd later receive an email with further details related to my account and next steps. However, instead of steps to resolve the issue, I received a denial email repeating the same message about being unable to verify my identity (screenshot attached). I’ve since spoken to multiple representatives and supervisors, and, while everyone was initially polite and understanding, it changed after I was taken off hold. Here’s what I’ve been told: The decision is final, and there is no possibility of escalation or appeal. The supervisors themselves, despite being the final decision makers, have no access to the specific reason for applicants’ denial and, thus, could not provide any additional details. I was also invited to join Apple's “Xcode program,” which I found out just means they’ll allow me to buy Xcode from the app store and use it without a developer account (I already do that). Every time a support representative reread the sentence about being “unable to verify [my] identity,” I responded by offering to provide additional forms of identification. However, that offer was never addressed. The last senior advisor I spoke with stated to me over the phone that: She was the highest authority on the matter. There was absolutely no way to escalate the issue further; it was 100% impossible. She physically did not have access to the reason for my denial. Neither she nor anyone else at Apple was able to offer further assistance. I asked this senior advisor to send me an email with the above points in writing, which she said she would do. However, the email I received was a virtual copy-paste of the email from the first support representative, stating the same few sentences verbatim. This has left me deeply confused, especially as no specific reason for denial has been shared, and since I was explicitly denied any opportunity to address (or even get information on) potential issues. I’d like to ask this community: Has anyone else experienced this sort of immediate rejection and/or a refusal to disclose the reason for that rejection? Are there specific guidelines or policies I may have unknowingly violated that I should review? If so, what could be the reason why they’re being withheld from me? Are there any resources or alternative channels I can explore to resolve this issue? I’m so thoroughly confused, and I’m genuinely at a loss with how to move forward. I appreciate any insight or guidance from this community. Thanks so much for taking the time to read! Best regards, David

You sign up for the developer program -> Apple confirm order placed and wait time is 48hrs. It doesnt mentioned if 48hrs is for US citizen or the rest of the world. Bad customer service, mo response from Apple. 2 weeks later, no apple developer program enrolment completed, Still waiting. Question Why is there a 48hrs communication sent when clearly this is to fool people in waiting forever? Why is there no communication when querying about the request. I suspect Apple is big enough to get the right customer service people or is this something they dont care about. What a let down from such a company!

Hello everyone, I am a developer and admin on App Store Connect, and I'm experiencing some issues with my account. Here’s a summary of the situation: Account Email: [Redacted] Team ID: [Redacted] Upon visiting the resources page, I encountered a popup stating: Unable to find a team with the given Team ID to which you belong. Please contact Apple Developer Program Support. When I sought assistance from a account holder, they attempted to log in using the account email but were unable to access it, despite entering the correct credentials multiple times. The login page prompted them to enter the email or phone number and password for the Apple account. Currently, I admin can log into App Store Connect, but the account holder is unable to access their account. We are facing difficulties because the Team ID appears to be disabled or unavailable in Xcode. We still have an Individual Developer subscription, but we intend to upgrade to an Organization level. I submitted a request for "Organization Membership" earlier this month. After contacting Apple support helpline multiple times, we received inconsistent responses, including suggestions to create a new account or contact developer support via email. Our main issues are: The account holder is unable to log in. The Team ID is not functioning. If we cannot continue with the individual account, we are open to using a different email for the account holder, as he handle sensitive information such as verification and payments. I have already submitted my request and am opening this thread in hopes of finding a speedy solution and guidance. I've seen multiple threads on this issue, but none have provided a resolution. Any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve these issues would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi, My Apple account still has a pending status after payment, What can I do to resolve this problem or do I have to wait for Apple to process it?

PLATFORM AND VERSION iOS Development environment: Xcode 15.4, macOS Sonoma 14.5 Run-time configuration: macOS Sonoma 14.5 DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM Hi, I'm on DriverKit 21.0. I'm looking for a system call (that isn't deprecated) in my driver to set the Ethernet link speed manually. Normally a user would set it by System Settings... -> Network -> -> Details -> Hardware -> Configure (Manually), and then Speed (choose the link speed). With my driver, when I configure for manual, no link speeds show up. I want to know how to populate the speeds (1000BaseT, etc.) so a user can select one. What system APIs are used for this? I can't find much detail in the documentation. I do see Instance Methods for some related things like getSupportedMediaArray, but most of these newer methods don't have details in the documentation to guide me on what they actually do. Thanks in advance...

Hello fellow developers, My team has been running into a persistent INVALID_CLIENT error while trying to implement Sign In With Apple JS in our Nextjs app with signInWithPopup from firebase/auth. Here is the full error: Error getting access token from https://appleid.apple.com, OAuth2 redirect uri is: https://[redacted]/__/auth/handler, response: OAuth2TokenResponse{params: error=invalid_client, httpMetadata: HttpMetadata{status=400, cachePolicy=NO_CACHE, cacheDurationJava=null, cacheImmutable=false, staleWhileRevalidate=null, filename=null, lastModified=null, retryAfter=null, crossOriginEmbedderPolicy=null, crossOriginOpenerPolicy=null, crossOriginResourcePolicy=null, permissionsPolicies=[], headers=HTTP/1.1 200 OK, contentSecurityPolicies=[], originTrials=[], reportToHeaders=[], varyHeaderNames=[], cookieList=[]}} I've checked every thread on these forums and stackoverflow for solutions to this very common issue, and we tried them all. We made sure to verify that the Services ID, Apple Team ID, Key ID and Private key are all correctly used in the firebase console, we have regenerated our keys, all to no avail. We also contacted Apple Support via the Development And Technical option with Certificates, Identifiers, and Provisioning Profiles topics, but they directed us to code-level support, which excludes 3rd Party libraries so this does not seem appropriate for us. Does anyone have any idea of what might be wrong or suggestions for something we could try? We are able to get the pop up to open with an Apple login form, allow us to enter the credentials, but then when we hit continue the error occurs. We are using firebase version ^10.4.0 Any help would be greatly appreciated and let me know if I need to provide any additional info. Thank you.

We applied for Location Push Entitlement on June. It has been several months since then but we still got not any results (either passed or rejected). Can anyone tell us what's going on?

I am developing an access controller RF (NFC). I know that the ADP developer account can only handle NFC Tags. Can I use NFC AID and HCE in ADEP? ADEP supports hotel card keys, employee badges, etc. Is it NFC? Or is it NFC+BLE?

Couple of days ago I installed ios 18.2 beta update and now my iphone 15 pro drains battery and overheats like hell. It is difficult to touch. and as i plug out my charger, the battery drains very fast (30% to O% in 10 minutes with no literally no use) To note, my battery health is 100% with around 176 battery cycles and i always use original apple 20W charger and cable. I have even changed the charger to a new original apple 20W charger and the issue persists. I have reset it but still the same happens. so it is lying dead for 2 days because i cannot charge it because of extreme heating. I got it checked at apple authorised service center as mentioned on apple website, they said they would reinstall the software in warranty. today they said they said the issue persists after sofware reinstallation and saying it is hardware thing. What should i do??

I'm encountering an issue while trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program using the mobile app. Every time I attempt to proceed, I receive the following error message: "There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue." I have verified my account information and followed all the necessary steps. I sent an email to Apple, but I haven’t received a response for several days. I’d be grateful for any help if anyone else has experienced this issue.

I created a PointsOfInterestSearch (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/pointsofinterestsearch) on the frontend using MapKit JS: const poiSearch = new window.mapkit.PointsOfInterestSearch({ center: new mapkit.Coordinate(userLocation.lat, userLocation.lng), radius: 10000, }); poiSearch.search((error, results) => { console.log("Length of poiSearch:", results.places.length); results.places.forEach((place) => { console.log("Name:", place.name); }); }); The length of results.places is 20. Trying it with a bigger radius also still results in 20. The docs for PointsOfInterestSearchResponse shows only a places (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/pointsofinterestsearchresponse) and no options for pagination. How can I paginate the rest of the results?

Are Administrators able to request a system extension via https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/system-extension/ or are Account Holders the only ones who can?

Hi there, I subscribed and paid for the Apple Developer Program through the Developer app on my Mac two days ago, but the program is still not active. In the Developer app, I now see a message saying that I can’t enroll through the app with this account, even though I did it before. On the web version, it says I need to purchase the membership—how is that possible? I can see my subscription in my account subscriptions. Support hasn’t provided any answers yet.

For un unknown reason, my Apple ID has been blocked. Since I can not connect anymore to my developer account ! I've asked to unblock it (iforgot.apple.com) but according to support the unblock sequence is not send because this Apple ID is in used. I need help to unblock my ID in order to manage my app.... note : I use an another account to post this messages.

Hello everyone, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program, completed all required forms, and submitted my payment details. I received an email confirming my enrollment order and stating it would be processed within two business days, but it’s now been over four days, and I haven’t seen a charge on my card or received any follow-up communication. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: Emailed Apple Developer Support multiple times: No response after four follow-ups. Called Apple Support: They couldn’t connect me directly to Developer Support. Is there a way to expedite this or another contact method that I might have missed? Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!
