Apple Developer Program – Membership Pending After Payment
Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on Tuesday evening, Jan 30th, 2025. The payment has already been successfully charged to my bank account, but my account is still showing “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership.” It has been several days now, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional verification. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support via email, but I wanted to check here as well. Has anyone else faced this issue recently? How long did it take for your membership to become active? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Developer Account Registration Still Processing After 2+ Weeks
I registered a developer corporate account and completed the payment on January 2. However, up to today, the status has not changed and still shows the message: “We’re processing your registration request. Your registration ID is ***.” I understand that the review process usually takes about 1–2 weeks. In this situation, is there any recommended way to move to the next step more quickly?

Stuck in Enrollment Loop: "Under Review" & Enrollment Button Grayed Out
Hi everyone, I’m seeking advice on an enrollment loop I’ve been stuck in for my Apple Developer Program account. I am based in Uruguay, and I’ve encountered a series of technical hurdles that Apple Support emails haven't been able to resolve. The Issue: Web Portal: When I log in to the portal, I see the message: "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program is under review. Please contact us." Apple Developer App: Support suggested using the app to finish enrollment, but the "Enroll Now" button is grayed out/disabled. It explicitly tells me to continue enrollment via the website, creating a circular dependency. Payment Failure: During my initial attempt, I noticed I was never asked for my card's CVV. Consequently, no charge was ever made to my bank, but the system seems to think a transaction is pending or "Under Review." The Barrier: As a user in Uruguay, I do not have a direct "Phone" option for support in my region—only email. The email responses I receive are automated or generic, telling me to either use the app (which is disabled) or call them (which isn't an option for my country). Has anyone from faced this "Under Review" stalemate? Is there a specific way to force the payment details to refresh or a known workaround for the disabled button in the app? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple Developer Program enrollment completely stuck — no emails, no support
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.

Apple Developer Program: Payment confirmed, account stuck on “Pending” / “Enroll Now”
Hi, On Jan 23 I purchased the Apple Developer Program membership via the Apple Developer app on iPhone. The payment went through successfully and I received the confirmation email and invoice. However, when I sign in to developer.apple.com, my account still shows “Pending” and redirects me to “Purchase your membership / Complete your purchase”, asking me to pay again. My Apple ID subscriptions page shows the Developer membership as active (with an end date), but: Developer portal: Pending, prompts to purchase again Apple Developer app (Account screen): still shows Enroll Now / membership not active The web flow displays an Enrollment ID (I can share masked) What I’ve tried: Confirmed I’m using the same Apple ID everywhere Signed out, cleared cookies, tried private/incognito browser Waited well beyond 48 hours (it’s been ~1 week) I do not want to pay twice. This looks like a duplicate/unfinished enrollment or the paid membership not being properly attached/activated for my Apple ID. Has anyone experienced this and found a workaround? Any advice on the fastest way to get Apple to attach/activate the paid membership and close the pending enrollment? Thanks.

Migration to Organization Account pending for 3 weeks - Case ID: 102799400229
Hi everyone, I'm looking for some insight or advice regarding the timeline for migrating from an Individual to an Organizational developer account. My request was initiated on January 11th, making it over three weeks now. The last communication I received from the support team was on January 24th (8 days ago). Despite sending follow-up inquiries to check on the status or if additional documentation is required, I haven’t received any updates since then. Has anyone else experienced similar delays recently? Is there a specific channel or method to escalate this beyond the standard follow-up emails? Request Started: Jan 11, 2026 Last Contact: Jan 24, 2026 Case ID: 102799400229 Thanks in advance for any help!

How Do You Handle Certificates for Client Owned iOS Apps
Hi all, I’m enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual and working with a freelance iOS developer. The developer is telling me that on an Individual account, they cannot create or manage signing certificates or provisioning profiles unless I either share my Apple ID credentials or export and share a P12 certificate. My understanding is that with App Store Connect Admin access and Xcode managed signing, a third party developer can build, sign, upload builds, manage TestFlight, and submit apps using their own Apple ID without credential or private key sharing. Can anyone confirm the current recommended Apple workflow for this scenario? Is there any functional requirement to enroll as an Organization in order to avoid sharing Apple ID credentials or P12 certificates? Thanks in advance.

Admin on Organization team but cannot access CIP
Hi all, I’m an Admin user in an Apple Developer Program (Organization) team, but I’m unable to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles (CIP) on developer.apple.com. I’d like to understand what permission is missing and where it should be enabled. Context Program type: Apple Developer Program (Organization) My role in App Store Connect: Admin I can access App Store Connect normally, but CIP resources on developer.apple.com are blocked. The Account Holder can access CIP normally. What I see (Problem) In the Apple Developer portal → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get: “Access Unavailable — You currently don't have access to this membership resource. Contact your team's Account Holder or an Admin.” In Xcode → Settings → Accounts → Team, the “Certificates, Identifiers, & Profiles” section shows a red error indicator and doesn’t load. Only my account is affected; the Account Holder is not. What we’ve tried / confirmed Membership is active (renewal date is valid) Signed out/in of Xcode and re-added my Apple ID Confirmed selecting the correct Organization team in Xcode / Developer portal Account Holder confirmed they can access CIP Questions For an Organization team, what exact permission(s) are required for a member to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles? Where is this access controlled — App Store Connect → Users and Access vs developer.apple.com → People? If Admin in App Store Connect is not sufficient, what additional role/setting is needed to grant CIP access?

No service and no complaints procedure
Hi, I requested a callback for Developer support as I was trying to set up a new Apple Developer account for my employer. As this was a new business for Apple, looking to create an Apple Developer Premium account, I thought Apple might be even slightly interested in helping answer some key questions. I requested a callback. The page claimed they would be 'calling shortly'. No call came. So, I requested another callback... The page again claimed they would be 'calling shortly'. Yet again, no call came. Later, I requested yet another callback... The page again claimed they would be 'calling shortly'. As is the norm, no call came. I called Apple support main telephone number, and they explained that this was a failing of their system on their part, hurrah... that was correct. But they told me they could not deal with my issue as it was a developer support issue. I already have a developer account anyway, so really they should be supporting me, I already PAY them! So normal support could only help in so far as they were able to tell me what I already know, the Apple developer support system does not work. The thing is, nobody at Apple actually cares about this. They don't really care about anything, as is clear by the lack of means to escalate issues. So, I sent an email instead, through their website form. I received no response. The next day, I requested another callback, no call came. I sent another email, and got no response. It is totally exasperating that Apple have no functional complaints system at all, and is damning of the origination. It is perfectly clear that they regard users, and customers, with abject contempt. Now I am going to have to write a snail mail letter to their CEO in the USA in the hope that they given more of a damn than those they preside over.

Payment pending for weeks to access the Developer Program
Hi, My payment has been pending since early January to join the developer program in spite of the mention that it should be processed in a couple business days. This is preventing me from moving forward with my app. I see several similar issues on the Forum but no answer to my issue. Any thoughts on how to speed up this process? Any help would be much appreciated!

Unable to Subscribe to Apple Developer Program
I have been attempting to complete my enrollment for the Apple Developer Program, but each time I try, I am shown the message: “Your enrollment could not be completed at this time.” The issue persists across multiple attempts and days, and I am unable to proceed further. I am signed in with my Apple ID, and the error appears immediately during the enrollment process. Could you please advise on: Whether this is a known issue affecting my region, or If there are any additional steps or verification required to complete enrollment from Cameroon? I would greatly appreciate any guidance or support you can provide, as I am eager to continue with development using Apple’s platforms. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Developer account payment issue
Im having trouble paying for my new developer account and it seems its been an ongoing issue for new enrollments. Has anyone else had this issue? If so how did you manage to resolve it? I keep getting "Your payment authorisation failed on card. Please verify your information and try again, or try another payment method." I tried different cards, called my bank, tried on safari, tried on the app and been back and forth with support for a couple of weeks no with no solution. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot enrol and now the button is in grey
I tried to enrol and because I have logged in my computer with an account and it shows not support my account etc. therefore I logged in another account on the Developer App, it went smoothly at the beginning. Then it took me to the yearly subscription and showing billing for the account on my computer. I thought this was not okay. Therefore I signed out the account on my computer and logged the same account as I used for the Developer App. I restarted the process. Filled in basic information, address, then Next. Boom, it said something was wrong and I needed to contact support. I did, but they told me there was an error indication for my account, no solutions what I could do. So what? I am forever not able to publish on Apple Store? Does it mean I should continue my test flight on Android? What's wrong with this? Who could help me?
