Unknown Error During Apple Developer Enrollment
Hi, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for my current company. Everything seemed fine, but since yesterday, I keep encountering an 'Unknown Error' when I try to complete the enrollment. I've checked my internet connection, updated my device, and tried multiple browsers, but the issue persists. Has anyone experienced this before or have suggestions on how to resolve it?

Charged Twice for Apple Developer Program – Same iCloud, Can I Get a Refund?
Hi everyone, I’m posting this to ask for advice and see if anyone has experienced a similar issue with the Apple Developer Program subscription. On July 9th, 2025, I registered for the Apple Developer Program via the Apple Developer app on my iPhone using my main iCloud account (Apple ID). The expected annual fee was 2,299,000 VND (~$99). However, I just checked my billing history and saw that I was charged twice for the same subscription, both under the same Apple ID / iCloud account, on the same day. Key Details: I only enrolled once. Both charges are labeled “Apple Developer Program”, exactly the same amount (2,299,000 ₫). The payments were made through the App Store, not via the website. My account on aninterestingwebsite.com/account still shows “Enroll Now” — meaning I haven't been activated yet. I have not received any welcome email either. My questions: Is it possible to request a refund for one of the charges, since both payments came from the same iCloud account and clearly refer to the same subscription? Has anyone else encountered this issue? How long did it take Apple to respond? Was your refund request approved? Should I wait for Apple to activate my account, or should I escalate the issue now? I’ve already submitted a refund request through https://reportaproblem.apple.com, but I’m posting here in case someone has more experience or insights. Thanks in advance!

problem Apple Developer Program Apple Developer Program Enrollmentwith
I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I keep encountering this error message: "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." Initially, I tried using a newly created Apple ID, and when that didn’t work, I attempted it with my older Apple ID. Unfortunately, I received the same error both times. Has anyone experienced this issue or knows what might be causing it? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

URGENT: Developer Program Expired – No Renewal Option – App Removed from App Store
Hello, We are currently experiencing a serious issue with our Apple Developer Program membership. Our membership has expired, but there is no option to renew the membership anywhere: Not on the Apple Developer website Not in the Apple Developer app Attempting to start enrollment again redirects to the main page Account details: Team ID: RZR56J4QQ8 Organization: E. V. I. ELECTRIC CARS LTD Role: Account Holder Because of this issue: All App Store agreements show as expired Our app has been removed from the App Store We are currently unable to restore service to users We already opened a Developer Support ticket about a week ago, but have not received any response. This is causing business impact, and we cannot find any way to trigger the renewal flow. Has anyone experienced this issue before, where the Renew Membership button does not appear at all? If anyone from Apple Developer Support / Apple Staff is able to assist or escalate this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

how long does it take to get apple developer account approved?
I'm at my wit's end with Apple's ridiculous timeframes! They promise 2 days but then completely ghost you for weeks. Here I am, literally trying to give them my money and get things moving, but it's like hitting a brick wall over and over. I've tried everything - even set up a whole separate account - and what do I get? Just more 'pending' status. No updates, no explanations, just endless waiting. How is it possible for a trillion-dollar company to make something as simple as accepting payment so infuriatingly difficult?

nquiry About the Apple Small Business Program Commission Rate Adjustment Timeline
Regarding the Small Business Program (https://aninterestingwebsite.com/cn/app-store/small-business-program/#faq), I have a question about the policy statement: "If a participating developer surpasses the 1 million USD threshold in the current calendar year, the standard commission rate will apply to future sales." Question: How is the exact date calculated for reverting to the standard commission rate? For example, if a developer’s proceeds exceed $1 million on April 20, 2025, when does the standard commission rate take effect? Specifically: Is the standard commission rate applied immediately on April 21, 2025? Does it take effect at the start of the next calendar month (May 2025)? Or is it triggered when the payment cycle closes (e.g., June 2025 when the billing statement is generated)? Thank you for your assistance!

Enrollment Pending – Payment "Successful" but no charge and no access
Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to see if anyone has found a fix for a stuck Apple Developer enrollment. I recently joined my company and need to get our environment ready, but I’m hitting a wall. The Timeline: Enrolled: Monday, March 23. Confirmation: Received the "2 business days to process" email. Current Status: My profile still says "Pending." The Issues: The portal gives me an option to "Complete enrollment by purchasing," even though I already did. Although the checkout showed "Success" at the time, no charge has appeared on my bank account yet. I’ve contacted Apple Support twice with no response so far. I’ve seen others mentioning similar issues lately. Has anyone managed to bypass this "Pending" loop without double-paying? Should I just keep waiting, or is there a specific support channel that actually responds? Thanks in advance for any insights!

Dev Acct membership enrollment limbo
I signed up for membership on Monday March 16th. It took my credit card info and put me in ‘Pending’ state. My cc was charges $99 but when I go back to my account it has a box for me to continue to signup for membership where it asks to charge my account again. I tried using the account support where it asks to with provider a phone number to call me or to send an email. I chose phone. It called me almost immediately but it was already in the middle of explaining options to select. And before I could get to my keypad it said that my time had expired. ‘Good Bye’. I went back to try again and saw a case id assigned. But it would not let me do another callback or email. Instead I got “Error processing your request”. I’ve tried for 3 hours trying to find another channel to get help. They have my money and I dont have membership. can anyone suggest where I go from here?

How do I enrol into the Apple Developer Program?
Hi all, I need help with registering for the Apple Developer Program. I tried to purchase the membership from the web but the payments kept failing. I used different cards on both Chrome and Safari but none of them worked. Then I downloaded the Apple Developer app but on my account, it said the enrolment is not available. I sent support tickets to Apple several times but got no replies so far. I am stuck and ran out of options. What else can I do to enrol into the Apple Developer Program so that I can start publishing my app? Why does Apple make it so difficult at this step? Thanks

Join WWDC in Apple Park
Thank you very much for choosing me to go to Apple Park to participate in WWDC. I am looking forward to participating in this event. May I ask you some questions? I am a young Apple Developer Program from China. And I am the winner of the Swift Student Challenge in 2024. I am over 13 years old. I used my own Developer account, not my parents', to apply for WWDC activities and all the events I carry out. Since I am under 18 years old, my parents may need to sign the Special Event Parental Permission Statement. Where can I find it? My parents will sign it. At the same time, I noticed that the bottom of the RSVP form requires me to guarantee that I am at least 18 years old, but I am not. And I used my own account to apply for WWDC, so I want to know how to meet this need? I need a non-immigrant visa to go to the United States. So, I need to prove to the visa officer that I have received an invitation from Apple. Could Apple send me a formal invitation letter to prove that I have received an invitation from Apple? At the same time, as a teenager, I need to go to the United States with my mother, so can you mention the information of my guardian (my mother) in the invitation letter? Ps: I am very independent. I am well aware that the number of people in WWDC is limited. My mother will not enter the venue unless otherwise required.

Apple tries to double charge me for enrollment
I enrolled to the program via the Developer app and paid for the subscription, got my receipt. The app now says the enrollment is not available. Xcode says I have no developer account. The Appstore mac app says the subscription is active. The developer website says I need to pay. Again. Is this some kind of scam or what?
