Issues updating W-9 and bank
After my account was converted to an organizational account, I tried to submit a new W-9, but I get an error: "The Type of Beneficial Owner does not match the individual or company status you previously provided." I had selected "Individual/Sole proprietor", based on my understanding that this is what should be selected on the W-9 for a single-member LLC. My initial guess as to what's causing the error, is my single-member LLC may have been miscategorized in the migration to an organization account so the intended option doesn't work. As per the official W-9 instructions, a single-member LLC should be categorized as an "Individual/sole proprietor or single-member LLC" on the form for tax purposes, but when I select "Individual/Sole Proprietor" on the "Type of Beneficiary Owner" dropdown on the App Store Connect front-end form for the W-9, which I assume corresponds with the aforementioned option on the true W-9 form that includes "single-member LLC", I get the aforementioned error. I was alternatively informed by Developer Support that the above error may be occurring because I haven't signed the latest Apple Program License Agreement, which I haven't been able to access, which they claimed is because I hadn't provided banking information for my account. So I added my business bank account but a week later the top of the Business section still says "Your banking updates are processing, and you should see the changes in 24 hours. You won't be able to make any additional updates until then." I contacted Apple Developer Support about all of the above and am still waiting for a response. While I wait, I'd like to ask here whether anyone has any ideas as to why the W-9 error is occuring or how long banking changes actually take to process, in case either of these is something I can resolve in the meantime.

Enrollment Completed on iPhone but Web Shows “Complete Your Purchase” and Status Pending
Hello Apple Developer Support Team, I completed my Apple Developer Program enrollment directly through the Developer app on my iPhone. The identity verification and payment were successfully processed. However, when I log in via the web, I still see the message “Complete Your Purchase,” and my enrollment status appears as Pending. The system seems to be asking me to proceed with enrollment again, even though the process was already completed on my iPhone. Could you please review my account and clarify the current status of my enrollment? Thank you for your assistance. Kind regards

Double Charge and Pending Membership
Hi Apple Developer Support Team, I placed a membership order on 12/27/2025 — Order #W1642892477 — and I’m running into two issues: Possible duplicate charges I was first charged on the card ending **73, but the site then indicated the charge did not go through. However, I can see the deduction on my card. I then tried again using my second card ending **53, and I also see a deduction there. Please confirm whether both charges actually captured or if one is only a pending authorization. If both captured, please refund the duplicate charge. Membership still shows “Pending” Even though payment appears successful, when I log in my membership status still shows Pending. I also have not received any approval/activation/confirmation email. Could you please: Confirm the payment status for Order W1642892477 (including both cards), Activate my membership, and Let me know how long activation normally takes and whether there’s any action needed from my side? Thank you, Raymond.

Issues with Apple Developer Account and Revoked Certificates
Hello, I am experiencing a critical issue with my Apple Developer Program account. I successfully enrolled months ago, and my subscription is active as per my account details. However, I am now unable to access my developer membership features, and when I sign into my account it redirects me to the enrollment page as if I had never enrolled. Key details of the issue: Active subscription: My Apple Developer Program membership is active and set to renew on 17 October 2025. The subscription page confirms this, and the payment was successfully processed. REVOKED CERTIFICATES: Certificates I created weeks ago have been revoked without any explanation or notification. No email notifications: I have not received any communication from Apple regarding issues with my account or certificates. Attempts to Resolve: Cleared cookies and cache. Tried logging in on multiple devices and browsers. Signed out of all devices and logged back in. Could someone please assist me in understanding why my account is behaving this way? Is there a specific team or channel I should contact to escalate this issue? Thank you in advance for your help!

Apple Developer Enrollment Refuses to Take My Money (Payment Constantly Declined)
I'm trying to enroll in Apple Developer and I continuously getting a "Payment Declined" message despite trying 4 credit cards, a debit card and even my apple card. When I try this through the developer app the "Enroll Now" button is greyed out. It's not a bank issue I've already checked and they don't see any requests coming through. I’ve tried multiple times with no luck. Contacted Apple support and they are extremely slow with the responses with very little help. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this?

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Still Pending (Paid on March 20)
Hi everyone, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and completed my payment on Friday, March 20, 2026. However, my account is still showing as pending and hasn't been approved or activated yet. I'm really eager to get my personal finance app, set up for testing, so I wanted to ask if this processing time is normal, or if there is any additional information or document I need to provide to complete the process. Could anyone from the Apple team assist in checking the status of my enrollment? Thank you in advance for your help

No access to developer resources as administrator
We are currently experiencing the following: Developers who are invited to Appstore Connect in the "Administrator" role and are members of the development team no longer have access to the team's developer resources at https://developer.apple.com Even after deleting the user and a new invitation, there is no access to the developer resources. The problem has existed since yesterday and can be traced in several developer accounts.

Suddenly being asked for export compliance, even with ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption set to NO
Hello everyone, I've encountered an issue with export compliance on App Store Connect that I haven't seen before. In my Info.plist, I have always set the ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption key (formerly App Uses Non-Exempt Encryption) to NO. In the past, this was sufficient to bypass the export compliance questions when submitting a build. However, with my most recent submission, I am now being prompted to answer these questions. Nothing has changed in my app's encryption usage. Has there been a recent change in policy or a system-wide issue that would cause this change in behavior? Is anyone else experiencing this? Thank you for your help.

No Update on Apple Developer Program (Company) Enrollment Since January 2, 2026
Hello everyone, I’m hoping to get some guidance or hear from others who may have experienced something similar. I registered for the Apple Developer Program as a company on January 2nd, 2026 Since completing the registration, I haven’t received any updates, feedback, or requests for additional information. The application still appears to be pending, and I’m unsure if this delay is within the normal timeframe or if there’s something I may have missed. I understand that company verification can take longer than individual enrollments, but I would appreciate any insight into: Typical review timelines for company enrollments Whether there’s a recommended way to follow up with Apple Developer Support Any steps I can take to help move the process forward Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience or advice. Best regards, Curlback

Passkey fails only on developer.apple.com
I've got a weird issue where Passkey fails, but only on developer.apple.com. Here's how it manifests: On portal, select "Sign In With Passkey" Get prompted with TouchId (on my MacBook) Portal says "can't verify your account" However: Sign in with Password works fine Sign in with Passkey on any other website works fine Not sure if it's related, but this appears to have happened around the time I had my logic board replaced. I did have weird issues with my iCloud account where I had to sign out of all devices, then sign back in. I assume this has to do with the hardware having the same serial number, but somehow appeared like a different computer in other ways. Things I've tried: In Passwords app, searching for "apple.com", I only see passwords, no passkeys. However, Safari password auto-fill always suggests the passkey entry first. developer.apple.com does not appear to have any way of managing sign-in credentials accounts.apple.com does not appear to be any way to manage passkeys. Sign in with Passkey on iPhone also results in "can't verify your account". Called AppleCare support, they were unable to help. Since Passkeys work for other websites, they believe this is a problem specifically with developer.apple.com. They suggested calling Developer support. Called Developer support, they were unable to help. They said AppleCare Support is best suited. Filled out Feedback (FB18185623) System: macOS 15.6 Safari 18.6 Has anyone else encountered anything weird like this? Is there any way to fix this? It would be nice if I could just delete the old passkey and create a new one. But I can't find any tool that will let me do that.

Payment charged and invoiced, but Apple Developer enrollment still shows “Proceed with Purchase”
Hi, I’m enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an individual from Albania. I completed the purchase through the Apple Developer app on iPhone. My credit card was charged, and I already received Apple’s invoice, but my account is still not activated after 5 days. In the app, I saw a message saying a confirmation email would be sent. On the website, when I log in with the same Apple Account, it still shows “Proceed with Purchase.” I already contacted Apple Developer Support and opened a case, but I have not received a response yet. Has anyone had the same issue after payment was already charged and invoiced? Thank you.

URGENT HELP
Hi everyone, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I keep getting stuck in a frustrating loop. After logging in, I’m asked to agree to the Apple Developer Agreement. I accept the terms, but then it redirects me to an error page that says: “You’ve already agreed to the Apple Developer Agreement. Continue to your account or sign out.” When I click “Continue to your account,” it just brings me back to the same agreement page—and the cycle repeats endlessly. To make things worse, I can’t contact Apple Developer Support because I apparently need an active account to do so, which puts me right back into the same loop. I’ve also tried enrolling from different Apple devices, but I keep receiving this error: internal exception occurred ErrorCode: 991991 ErrorMessage: The request cannot be processed at this time. Please try again later. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a known fix or workaround? I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions on how to break out of this loop or get in touch with Apple support. Thanks in advance!
