Waiting for Review times
I uploaded the first build of a new app, waited a week to get In Review. Then got rejected for a missing piece of metadata. I accidentally checked a box indicating I had age-related content which I don't - so I unchecked it, and replied to app review. A message came back the same day asking me to do what I just told them I did. I replied that I had already followed the required steps. Then just nothing for five days. I have no idea if my review was even progressing - with the status "Waiting for Review" and "Unresolved issues". So I had no choice but to cancel the submission and start over. Having been an iOS developer for more than ten years, App Review times have gotten completely unacceptable - to develop an application and have no idea how many weeks it's going to take to crawl through App Review only to be rejected for some trivial checkbox, and get kicked to the back of the queue.

Your case ID is 30000003141736 and case ID is 30000003141292
Hi, Please process a refund, as I do not wish to continue with the Apple Developer Program for this year. The subscription was automatically billed starting 20 March 2027 via my personal service provider / Maxis billing account, whereas it should have been charged to my company credit card instead. Kindly assist in resolving this matter. You may contact me or email.

Enrollment Payment Stuck in Limbo - Web Pending, Developer App Locked Out
Hi everyone, I'm completely stuck in an enrollment loop and developer support emails have gone unanswered for a week. Hoping an Apple engineer here can flag my account to get this cleared. The Issue: I attempted to enroll in the Apple Developer Program via the web portal (from Israel). The payment went into a "pending" limbo state. It has been a week, my card was never charged, and the enrollment is just stuck. I tried the recommended workaround of finishing the enrollment via the Apple Developer App on my Mac/iPhone. The app blocks me with the error: "Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account. Visit http://aninterestingwebsite.com/programs/enroll/." I am now caught in a loop where the web portal is frozen waiting for a ghost payment, and the app refuses to let me restart the process. I am trying to launch a SaaS application and this backend bug is completely blocking my deployment schedule. Has anyone found a way to force-cancel a pending web enrollment so I can start fresh, or is there an Apple rep here who can look into my Apple ID and clear the block?

Urgent: Family Controls Entitlement for DeviceActivityMonitorExtension (Parent app already approved)
I am developing a productivity app called "FocusPact" using the Screen Time API (Family Controls). Current Status: The parent app bundle ID (com.hayashikento.FocusPact) has already been approved for the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement. I have recently submitted a new request for the DeviceActivityMonitorExtension bundle ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor. The Issue: Currently, the extension only works while debugging with Xcode (Development entitlement). When the device is disconnected, the intervalWillEndWarning and intervalDidEnd triggers are ignored by the system because the Extension ID lacks the Distribution entitlement. This is a critical blocker for my MVP testing phase on TestFlight, as I cannot verify the core "automatic re-blocking" logic in a real-world environment. Request: Could any Apple staff or engineers help expedite the linking of this extension ID to my existing approved entitlement? Parent App ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact Extension ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance to resolve this so I can proceed with user testing. Thank you.

Duplicate Payment and Enrollment Not Activated
Hello, I am currently trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, and I seem to have encountered an issue. I completed the enrollment process and made the payment of $99. I received a payment confirmation, but my enrollment has not been activated after 46 hours. When I checked the status, it still indicated that payment was required, so I mistakenly made a second payment. I have now received confirmation for both payments. Here are my order details: First order ID: D009543166 Second order ID: D009549194 Could you please: Confirm the status of my enrollment Help activate my Apple Developer account Advise on the duplicate payment and process a refund if applicable Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Kobe Shust

Week 7 of Pending Enrollment
I will keep posting this every week because I simply cannot wait anymore. 7 weeks of waiting is way too much. To me, it is absolute madness in 2026 to wait for months, especially when my passport/ID was successfully verified back in week 1 or 2. To make matters worse, I can't even call the support hotline because the phone option is unavailable and the email assistants only reply with the same automated templates. P.S. If by some miracle Apple Support reads this post or rather, this cry from the soul - and actually wants to help, I have already created two support tickets. Here are the case numbers: 20000109972460 20000109363371

When will my developer account be activated?
I have already paid the 99 USD for the enrollment, that was 8 days ago, I don't understand what is happening on the page it says that everything is managed in 48 hours... is there a problem? Additionally, I have generated a claim in Apple Support with caseID 102850171298 4 days ago, and it was not responded to in any way. I'm a little angry, it's not a cheap service and I have to work.

Should I enroll in Apple Developer Program with Apple ID set to U.S. if I need Germany for tax purposes?
Hello everyone, I am looking for advice from anyone who has experience with Apple Developer account setup across countries. My Apple account is currently associated with the United States, but I live in Germany and would like my Apple Developer setup to be associated with Germany for tax and administrative reasons. At the moment, I have not enrolled yet in the Apple Developer Program, because I am hesitant to proceed while the account is still tied to the U.S. I want to avoid creating complications later around tax information, billing or account maintenance. My app is essentially ready, so I am trying to make the right decision before enrolling. I would really appreciate guidance on a few points: Has anyone enrolled first and then later changed the country association successfully? Is it better to update the Apple account to Germany before joining the Developer Program? For developers based in Germany, did Apple require anything specific for tax or identity verification? Would enrolling with the account still associated with the U.S. create problems later for App Store Connect, payments or tax forms? I contacted Apple Support on March 21st to clarify this, but I have not yet received a response, so I thought I would ask here in case others have gone through the same process. Any advice or shared experience would be very helpful. Thank you!

Payment completed but Apple Developer Program still not activated
Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on March 22, 2026 and the payment has already been successfully charged. I also received an invoice the next day (March 23, 2026). However, my account is still not activated, and the system continues to prompt me to complete the enrollment or make the payment again. Is this a normal delay in activation? How long does it usually take for the account to be activated after payment? Do I need to take any additional steps, or should I contact support directly? Thank you for your assistance.

Unable to Complete Apple Developer Registration – No Clear Reason Provided
Subject: Unable to Complete Apple Developer Registration – No Clear Reason Provided Hello, I am currently trying to register for an Apple Developer account, but I keep receiving the following response: "We are unable to process your enrollment for one or more reasons." I contacted support to ask for the specific reason, but the reply I received was exactly the same message: "We are unable to process your enrollment for one or more reasons." According to the emails and support responses, I am unable to get any clear explanation or solution. The app directs me to contact customer service, but customer service only repeats the same message, which makes it impossible to resolve the issue. At this point, I personally cannot think of any possible reason that would cause this problem. Even after reaching out multiple times, including to senior support staff, I still receive the same generic response without any details. This situation feels completely blocked with no way forward. I would like to ask: Is there any way to find out the specific reason for the rejection? Are there any steps I can take to resolve this issue and successfully complete the registration? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Our migration process was recently closed
regarding Enrollment ID 5UU6P6TKR6 (Case Number 102837952198). Our migration process was recently closed because a Developer Support Senior Advisor falsely claimed that our company website was inaccessible. The website is fully operational. We urgently request that you reopen our migration process to resolve this error.
