This app was developed with NFC functionality enabled, and distribution was intended to utilize the iOS app by replacing the provisioning profile and certificate issued under a separate Apple Developer account.
However, since NFC cannot be enabled under the separate Apple Developer account, it is now required that the iOS app can be used with the standalone ipa file.
If we create our own provisioning profile and certificate to enable standalone operation of the ipa file, we need to confirm where this might conflict with Apple's licenses or policies.

I'm trying to make my own MDM server and I'm having trouble allowing nginx to proxy the connection. The web app I'm making can accept http requests so I require nginx. I'm using a certificate from letsencrypt.
Every time I try to enroll a phone it instantly rejects at nginx. I have tried multiple cipher options in nginx.
I found the following link and my cert supports all except the DHE ones but they say you only need 1.

What else can I do?

Is anyone face the similar kind of issue?
We are using the react native : 0.74.1
react-native-apay
react-native-payments
SKStorefront.countryCode always returns "US" in TestFlight and sandbox,
even when sandbox Apple ID is set to a different country.
Is this expected behavior?
Is SKStorefront guaranteed to return the correct storefront
only for production App Store builds?

Hi everyone,
I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on Tuesday afternoon, November 11th, 2025. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership”.
It’s now been several days, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information.
I already contacted Apple Support by email, but I’d like to know if other developers have experienced the same situation and how long it took before their account was activated.
Thanks in advance for your help and feedback!

We applied for the Apple Developer Program on April 28, and our enrollment has been stuck in review since then — over three weeks now. We have already submitted all required documents, including:
Turkish National ID and Passport
Estonian e-Residency Card
Company registration documents from the Estonian e-Business Register
D-U-N-S number
VAT and Registry information
Detailed explanations as a sole founder and legal representative
Enrollment Case number is 102586593909
We even had a follow-up phone call with Apple Developer Support (Case ID: 102589592062) and were told the submitted documents should be sufficient. I also followed all upload instructions and confirmed that the files were delivered successfully.
Despite all this, we haven’t received any updates, timelines, or specific feedback on what’s missing — if anything at all.
✅ Meanwhile, we’ve completed similar business verification processes with Google, Meta, and Stripe within 48 hours.
We’re trying to launch our app under an officially registered business (Mobisense OÜ), and this delay is affecting our go-to-market timeline and business operations.
🔹 Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay recently?
🔹 Is there a reliable way to escalate or request an actual review update?
Apple, please review this case and help move the process forward.
Thank you.
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
Each year I get my renewal email from Apple, however, since 2019 (yes, this is the 4th year in a row) I've been unable to renew due to this infamous "Please enter fewer characters" error message. Each time I've had to open a support case, talk to someone on the phone, they take all of my details along with screenshots, etc. and manually renew my subscription. Once they've charged my card I never hear from them again and issue never gets resolved.
IDK if any Apple Dev Support folks actually use this forum but this is ridiculous.
Hi, I'm from India and payment has been deducted for the membership and I have received an email confirming my subscription of the program but I still cannot access my enrolment dashboard. It says "You'll receive an email soon" in my Apple Developer app under "Enrol" and it says Pending on my Apple Account on web. I don't understand why such as a small task is such a problematic thing for Apple. Need help understanding what's going on.
This typo appears in a two docs I can find. Is there a better way to notify Apple about this, than making a post here>

How do I convert screen pixels to points?
I plan to use the points in the program to move the shape to the desired position.
We renew our company's Apple Developer Membership annually. According to the update date of November 17, 2025, it's stated that renewal can be done 30 days in advance, but the renewal button doesn't show up.
Hello all. I am currently working on a bug that has recently grown due to the beta release of iOS 18.4. I am unable to reproduce the crash at the moment; however, given that the bug is mostly exclusive to 18.4, I was wondering if this is a known issue or one specific to my app?
App crashes on the main thread with EXC_BREAKPOINT.
Below is the truncated stack trace before the crash:
0x000000018fff6044 (CoreText + 0x00069044) TLine::EnumerateCaretOffsets(std::__1::function<void (double, long, bool, bool*)>) const
0x000000018fff5938 (CoreText + 0x00068938) TLine::EnumerateCaretOffsets(std::__1::function<void (double, long, bool, bool*)>) const
0x000000018fff478c (CoreText + 0x0006778c) TLine::CharIndexToOffsets(long) const
0x000000018fff4564 (CoreText + 0x00067564) CTLineGetOffsetForStringIndex
...
[internal code]
Aside: I wonder if this has anything to do with some visibly hidden unicode characters.
I'm trying to create an app that authenticates to Apple Music using MusicKit but whenever I try to build my profile through eas, I am getting this error:
Provisioning profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.music-kit entitlement.
However, my provisioning profile does have MusicKit enabled.
Around March 25th, the payment function of my app suddenly failed to successfully parse payment information, while the previous functions were normal.
The normal logic is that we will send payment information to this address on Apple( https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt )We will receive a parsed file in JSON format. But this time we did get an error, which is as follows
2025-03-26 16:46:58.0064 (HttpHelper.cs:78) Exception ex: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception.
---> System. Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: Authentication failed because the remote party sent a TLS alert: 'HandshakeFailure'.
We have tried many solutions and have not received any improvement. I would like to ask if you have recently upgraded something that has caused some old code to become unusable. Hope you can provide us with some solutions, thank you!

I Got The Developer Beta For iOS AND iPadOS 26. On my main devices because im poor and cant buy another one.
so.. should i be worried of it being unstable? Also i didnt backup because iCloud Is Full and im not paying for a better subscription thats more expensiv.
I’ve honestly never received service this bad from a company and I don’t say that lightly. This is the worst support experience I’ve ever had.
I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I’m stuck in a loop that has been going on for months:
The Apple Developer app repeatedly fails during identity verification and tells me there’s an issue.
When I contact support, they tell me they’ll email me instructions.
The email says: “Please use the Apple Developer app to enroll.”
I reply saying: “I did. It doesn’t work. The verification fails.”
And the response is again: “Use the Apple Developer app.”
Over and over, with no actual troubleshooting or escalation.
This is not a user-error situation — I’m following the instructions exactly. I need someone to look at what’s happening on Apple’s side (verification/enrollment status) and give a real resolution path, not the same copy-paste response.
Details:
Country/Region: [your region]
Devices tried: [iPhone model + iOS version], [Mac model + macOS version]
Exact error message shown in the app: [paste here]
Support case number (if relevant): 102784352083
What I’m asking:
Can Apple reset/clear my enrollment/verification state so I can retry cleanly?
Is there an official fix for this verification error?
Is there an alternative way to complete enrollment if the app keeps failing?
Can this be escalated to the enrollment/identity verification team?
Again: I’ve never experienced support this bad from any company. I just want to enroll and pay — but I’m blocked with no real help.
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 received a developer team invite. When I click on the link to accept the invite, a new page opens. There is a proccessing spinner on the page, but it does not go any farther. I have left if run for quite some time, but it just keeps spinning. I am on a mac book pro
Thanks
