I am unable to renew my Apple Developer Program membership because the renewal button is completely missing from every platform and location where I've looked:
Apple Developer website
Apple Developer app on iPhone
Apple Developer app on Mac
Subscriptions settings
I have attempted multiple troubleshooting steps without success:
Tried multiple devices
Tested different browsers
Cleared cache and cookies
Signed out and back in
Attempted private browsing mode
The renewal button simply does not appear anywhere.
Why This Cannot Be Self-Resolved:
The self-service renewal system is broken or inaccessible
Phone support is not available in my country
Previous support emails have gone unanswered
There is no alternative path forward available to me
Impact:
My apps are offline or at risk of removal
I am losing users and revenue daily
My membership is about to expire, making my development account inactive
Important Context:
This appears to be a widespread issue affecting developers globally, as documented across Reddit and Apple developer forums. Other developers who have access to phone support report the issue is resolved in under 15 minutes. However, that option does not exist for me due to regional limitations.
I need assistance with a manual renewal process. This ticket requires escalation, as self-service options are completely unavailable to me. Any guidance or direct assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Currently, I have purchased the Apple Developer Program for 4 days. However, I can not access or hear any news from Apple team that where I was wrong or do my account have any problems.
I have been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for the past two weeks, but I keep encountering different errors. Most of the time, I receive a 404 error page saying, “Something went wrong. Try again.”
Three days ago, $100 was deducted from my bank account by Apple, but my developer account status still shows “Pending.”
Apple states that “Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process,” but it has now been more than 48 hours and there has been no update.
I have already:
Sent an email to devpayment @apple.com
with screenshots and full details (no response).
Opened a case through Apple Developer Program Support and only received an automated reply saying, “Thank you for contacting us.”
At this point, it feels like there is no real support available to resolve this issue.
Has anyone experienced something similar? How did you resolve it?
Thank you.
Hello,
We have applied for the Apple Developer Program under a government organization account. After submitting the enrollment, we received a confirmation email stating that the request was received and that we would be contacted after verification of authorization to bind the organization to the Apple Developer Program legal agreements.
However, it has been quite some time, and we have not received any further updates regarding the verification process.
We would like to understand:
What is the usual verification timeline for government organizations?
Is extended verification common for government entities?
Is there anything additional we should do from our side to help move the process forward?
If anyone has experienced a similar situation or can share guidance, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Here on the forums I see a lot of reports like this:
According to App Store Connect, I’m an Admin member of a team, but I can’t access the Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles section of the Developer website for that team.
There’s one really common reason for this, namely that this is an Individual team. This is clearly documented in Developer Account Help > Access > Roles and access, which says:
If you’re enrolled as an individual and add users in App Store Connect, users receive access only to your content in App Store Connect and are not considered part of your team in the Apple Developer Program.
So, if App Store Connect indicates that you’re a team Admin but you can’t access Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles, it’s critical that you check that this is not an Individual team. To do this:
Log on to Developer > Account.
Select the correct team at the top right.
Scroll down to the “Membership details” section.
Look at the “Enrolled as” field.
If it says “Individual”, then only the team’s Account Holder can access Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles. OTOH, if it says something else, like “Organization” or “Enterprise”, then see below.
If you’re working for someone else who only has an Individual team, I recommend that you encourage them to update to an Organization team. For advice on how to do that, see Developer Account Help > Membership > Updating your account information > Updating an individual membership to an organization membership.
If you can’t access Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles and you’re absolutely sure that this is not an Individual team, I recommend that you seek formal assistance via Apple > Developer > Contact Us.
Share and Enjoy

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for some advice. My subscription expired a few months ago. Unfortunately, I didn't notice. Now, after some time, I've tried to renew, but I can't find a renewal button on the website, in the developer apps, or in my subscriptions. What should I do in such cases? I contacted technical support, but haven't received a response. Thanks in advance.

I am a private gym owner in Evanston, Il. We are working with a new CRM, ClubReady, that is helping us develop an app, and I cannot get past this enrollment screen. I need support in order to enroll and pay for the development of this app ASAP.

I am working on an internal app for our company that links ABM, Intune, and an AT&T-provided CSV of IMEIs, and I am fairly new to this and using AI (sorry) to help me. I can search for our devices using either the serial # and/or IMEI. If the device has been released, I can still find it using the SN, but not with the IMEI. If a result is returned on a released device's SN, the IMEI is present.
I have a list of IMEIs from our AT&T account and want to cross-reference those IMEIs to get the SN.
Is there a way to include the Released Devices in the search?
I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on February 3, 2026. The payment was completed successfully at the time of enrollment, but my membership status has remained “Pending” since then.
So far:
No request for additional documents or identity verification
No phone call from Apple
No follow-up email other than the payment confirmation
Apple Developer Support has been contacted, but no response yet
I understand that verification can take some time, but the complete lack of communication is concerning, especially since this is blocking active development and release planning.
If this is a known backlog or system-wide delay, some transparency from Apple would help. I’d also appreciate hearing whether others who enrolled in early February are seeing the same prolonged “Pending” state.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share recent experiences or escalation paths.
Hello!
This is already my third post regarding this issue.
I have been waiting for almost a month and have sent approximately 10 emails to Apple Developer Program Support. I have received no response at all — no updates, no explanations, and no assistance.
What makes this situation particularly unacceptable is that Apple Support is clearly active and responding to similar enrollment issues in other forum threads. Seeing support help others while completely ignoring my case for an entire month is extremely frustrating and difficult to justify.
This level of silence from Apple is not just disappointing — it reflects a serious breakdown in the enrollment support process.
I have registered for Apple developer program since December and up until now, I am still stuck on payment. I have tried several credit cards but no response.
they said it takes 48 days, but mine is over 2 months now. I have sent a message to support and no response.
pls what is happening and why is my experience different?
why is Apple not debiting my cards and why is support ghosting me.
I registered using the official Apple developer enrollment website
