Apple Developer Program Enrollemnt
Hello , I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and paid the $99 fee. However, my account has been in pending status for almost a week now. I have tried emailing support a few times but have not received any replies. This is my first time enrolling, and I’m not sure what to do next. Could someone please advise on how to resolve this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

For Apple Engineers
I been searching about this for so long now i don’t think it’s possible anymore & its more of a talk about thing than doing😭😭. But i’m a Mixing/Mastering Engineer for Music, & I’m always seeing people music releasing to Apple Music, with the icon “Apple Digital Master“ But when I do research the only thing i can find is it needs to be done in an approved Apple Studio, But me personally i’ve never heard or seen one. So i’m patiently & sincerely waiting for the right response that can help me or lead me to the right person or direction to help me out please, Because all this seeking is really starting to make my brain have aneurysm.

Provisioning profile, all steps carefully taken, still rejected
After several years' lapse, I am coming back into app development for iPhone. Here's what I did: Renewed my membership to Apple developer I created a wildcard identifier, "me.joymaker.*" I created a certificate Using Xcode, I introduced my newest iPhone (a 12 mini) to Apple developer. Unlike my older models, this one has a UDID with a hyphen in it. To get it to take the UDID I had to remove the-and then paste the remaining continuous number into the field. But then it accepted it, and showed it back to me complete with hyphen. I created a development provisioning profile using that certificate and ID, checking the box that said "Select all", so that every device registered to my account was included. Using Xcode, I tried to upload the provisioning profile to the phone. OOPS. Xcode replies, "Failed to install one or more provisioning profiles on the device. Please ensure the provisioning profile is configured for this device." Yes, I am very that it was! There was an older identifier in the account, left over from years ago, named "XCode: Wildcard AppID", with an identifier of simply '*'. I tried building a provisioning profile with that one. Same results. Now what? How to diagnose, how to pursue this? BTW, although XCode sees this phone without difficulty, Music and Finder don’t. Relevant?? See this question for more details.

Not receiving invitation for developer account
Hi to whom it may concern, My company has hired an outsource to help us in developing our mobile app. But the person haven't received any invitation email to create developer account for their email company domain. The outsource company has checked with their infra team, either the invitation email was blocked, but it wasn't. Is there any solution for this? as summary my current company is inviting an outsource that used their company email to create developer account. but the email hasn't reached their end.

Enrollment Issue: Payment Acknowledged but Not Charged
Hi everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with my enrollment process. I initiated three payments on the following dates: February 12, 2025: Payment attempted, received an “Order acknowledgment” email, but the amount wasn’t deducted. February 19, 2025: Reattempted payment with the same outcome. February 25, 2025: Tried again, and still no deduction from my account. I’ve contacted support (Case ID: 102538526682), but haven’t received any response. This situation affects my production process, and I’m growing increasingly concerned. Has anyone else faced and resolved successfully a similar problem, or does anyone have advice on how to escalate this issue for a quicker resolution? Thanks in advance for your help!

App Review Rejection - Help with sequencing?
Hi All, Hoping someone can shed light on the correct way to proceed for App Review using an app built with Unity's IAP Service. I'm unsure if I have a problem with my build or there is a problem with my sequencing of the review process. Unity’s IAP won’t recognize a product until it exists on App Store Connect (which you would expect), however App Store Connect won’t publish products until they are reviewed with a submitted binary. I submitted a binary with my first product for review and the app was rejected for “completeness” because the product was unavailable. I requested clarification and the review team sent a screenshot back showing the store page in the game with the IAP UI in the state I would expect for no products returned (the buttons say “unavailable” and are disabled) - which makes sense, because the IAP is not approved and therefore not available. The review team sent the following: "When validating receipts on your server, your server needs to be able to handle a production-signed app getting its receipts from Apple’s test environment. The recommended approach is for your production server to always validate receipts against the production App Store first. If validation fails with the error code “Sandbox receipt used in production,” you should validate against the test environment instead." It seems we are not event to the point of receipt validation because the rejection is due to products not being approved and therefore not returned when the app queries them. So the app can't be approved unless it can be tested before the product exist in App Store Connect, but Unity's IAP won’t recognize the product until it exists in App Score Connect? Since I had submitted once I was able to resubmit just the IAP, but that was rejected for completeness because it didn't include a binary - which was rejected because the IAP was not present - and the IAP was not present because it was not approved. The IAP is a very simple "100 Gems" in game currency pack so I don't believe it is being rejected on its own merits, but I suppose I could be mistaken there. I can’t be the only one with this problem, or I must be missing something… or there is something else wrong with my build. Suggestions much appreciated!

Cannot Enroll in Developer Program.
I'm trying to enrol in the apple developer program for the first time. When I sign in and attempt to enrol, it says “Your enrollment could not be completed.” - I am over the Age of 18 in Australia. My account is attached to a family account if that matters, but I am an Adult in the family. As far as I am concerned I have not done anything illegitmate on my account. My AppleID has always paid ontime etc. Just spoke to someone on the phone at Apple Developer Support. Firstly they were very unfriendly, don't know their name and sounded like they didn't want to be there. I said what my issue was, they had a look at my account and said "It says there is an issue with this apple ID and Support cannot be provided within Apple Developer Program for this AppleID" - I asked if this could be escalated and she audibly sighed and said "No" - I said may I speak to a supervisor - Spoke to the Supervisor and they said they can't help me and it just says We can't provide Apple Developer support to this AppleID and he kept repeating this. - I have not done anything illigetimate on my AppleID as far as I know. He also said can't verify my identity, even though I have never verified my identity. What do I do?

Issue with Apple Developer Enrollment – Trusted Device & Subscription Conflict
Context: I recently encountered an issue while trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program with my personal Apple ID, and I need guidance on how to resolve it. A few months ago, I helped a client set up an Apple Developer account because they didn’t have an iPhone, Mac, or even an Apple ID. To assist them, I created an Apple ID for them and used my iPhone (via the Apple Developer app) to enroll their account in the Apple Developer Program. Now that the project is complete, I have removed myself from their Apple Developer account and given them full control over the app. However, when I tried to enroll my personal Apple ID in the Developer Program, I was unable to do so. After contacting Apple Support, I was informed that my phone number is still recognized as the trusted device for my client’s Apple ID, preventing me from enrolling in the Developer Program under my own account. Additional Issues: When I checked my Apple ID subscription list on account.apple.com, I noticed that the Apple Developer Program Membership is still listed under my personal Apple ID. However, when my client logs into their Apple ID subscription list, the Apple Developer subscription does NOT appear under their account. Even though the Apple Developer Program subscription is listed under my Apple ID, I cannot access the Apple Developer portal (developer.apple.com/account) to manage my account, enroll, or create apps. However, my client CAN still access the Developer portal and create/manage apps, even though the subscription is NOT in their Apple ID subscription list. Problems: My phone number is still a trusted device for my client’s Apple ID, blocking me from enrolling my own Developer account. The Developer Program subscription appears under my Apple ID instead of my client’s, even though my client is the one using the Developer account. I cannot access Apple Developer features, while my client can—even though the subscription is technically under my Apple ID. Questions: How can I unlink my phone number and device from my client’s Apple ID so I can enroll in the Apple Developer Program? Why does the Developer Program subscription appear under my Apple ID instead of my client’s, and how can I fix this? Why can’t I access the Developer portal, even though the subscription is listed under my Apple ID? Has anyone faced a similar issue, and if so, how was it resolved? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Unity GameKit: signature does not match the authentication request data
I have a Unity application in which I'm implementing a GameCenter login with PlayFab. I fetch the items and use them in the PlayFab request, which returns me the error 'Authentication failed. Signature does not match the authentication request data'. I've reproduced the request using Insomnia with the same results. I have this exact same flow implemented in another application, which works normally. I'm positive that the PlayFab verification is correct, and there's indeed an issue with the data being sent, but I can't find any information about this kind of situation anywhere, and I don't know how to either reproduce the verification myself, or how to inspect the data to check for issues. I have reviewed my app's data on AppstoreConnect and have filled every form, document, and even its store page. I've also checked it's bundle identifier settings to make sure it had all the permissions necessary, which seems to be only GameCenter. I fetch the authentication items through this code try { Debug.Log("Fetching authentication items"); var fetchItemsResponse = await GKLocalPlayer.Local.FetchItems(); PlayFabGameCenterLogin(fetchItemsResponse); } catch (Exception ex) { Debug.Log("Error fetching authentication items: " + ex.Message); OnLoginFailure(); } Which is then sent to this method to start the login request static void PlayFabGameCenterLogin(GKIdentityVerificationResponse authenticationItems) { var request = new LoginWithGameCenterRequest(); request.CreateAccount = true; request.PlayerId = GKLocalPlayer.Local.GamePlayerId; request.InfoRequestParameters = new GetPlayerCombinedInfoRequestParams { GetUserAccountInfo = true }; if (authenticationItems != null) { request.PublicKeyUrl = authenticationItems.PublicKeyUrl; request.Salt = Convert.ToBase64String(authenticationItems.GetSalt()); request.Signature = Convert.ToBase64String(authenticationItems.GetSignature()); request.Timestamp = authenticationItems.Timestamp.ToString(); } else Debug.Log("Playfab Login with no authentication items"); // Login PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithGameCenter(request, OnLoginSuccess, (e) => { I'm on Unity 2022.3.10f1 Apple.Core 3.1.3 Apple.GameKit 2.2.2 Xcode 16.2 I need information on what could be the cause of this, if it's a SDK issue, a lack of filling information somewhere, if it's some data compatibility issue (maybe data on the app that's not the same on the appstoreconnect or developer?), or if it's possible to verify the authentication data manually to investigate.
