Use ibeacon technology to activate the wake up app for Bluetooth connection
Dear Apple developer team, we use ibeacon to wake up and activate the app for Bluetooth connection in app development, but there are some problems, the problems are as follows: 1, called CLLocationManager startRangingBeaconsInRegion and startMonitoringForRegion, open after iBeacon area detection and ranging. After completely leave iBeacon radio range, locationManager: didExitRegion: callback is not timely. When the screen is on, wait 1 minute for the callback. When the phone is in the state of the screen, it needs to wait for more than 3 minutes, and occasionally wait for more than 10 minutes without callback; 2. Can the success rate of ibeacon approach 100%? How to improve the success rate of ibeacon live wake app? 3. Using ibeacon technology, in what scenarios will the app be pulled alive to wake up during user use? 4. How long can the app process its business after it is woken up? 5. Can ibeacon technology and Bluetooth saving and recovery mechanism be used to greatly improve the probability of activating the app for Bluetooth connection, and can cover various use scenarios of users' lives to awaken the activating app?

Email from app_notification@apple.com - Phishing?
Hi, a few weeks ago I received this email: "Notification of Apple Developer Program License Agreement (PLA) violation" by app_notification @apple.com. Content was: "We are writing to inform you that your company is not in compliance with the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (PLA). Section 11.2 (Termination) states: (g) if You engage, or encourage others to engage, in any misleading, fraudulent, improper, unlawful or dishonest act relating to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, misrepresenting the nature of Your Application (e.g., hiding or trying to hide functionality from Apple’s review, falsifying consumer reviews for Your Application, engaging in payment fraud, etc.). Be aware that manipulating App Store chart rankings, user reviews or search index may result in the loss of your developer program membership. Please address this issue promptly." and indeed, there was a problem with an app, which I then fixed. But then it started to become a little bit weird, which makes me think it could be a phishing attempt. I asked them for more information, which app they are talking about, etc., but I only received this reply: "Hello, We would like to speak with you about your apps on the App Store.  Please provide a number where you can be reached and we will contact you at our next opportunity.  Sincerely,  Apple" I replied to them I am currently on holiday and would like to clarify this via email and that I fixed the problems (they didn't tell me which app or what exactly was wrong, but I checked it by myself) What was their reply? Exactly the same as above: "Hello, We would like to speak with you about your apps on the App Store.  Please provide a number where you can be reached and we will contact you at our next opportunity.  Sincerely,  Apple" So, I replied again and asked them if they could just tell me what is wrong and if this problem still exists, etc. Their reply: "Hello, We would like to speak with you about your apps on the App Store.  Please provide a number where you can be reached and we will contact you at our next opportunity.  Sincerely,  Apple" They basically sent me the exact same email 3x in a row without answering any of my questions or telling me any details. At this point, I am really not sure anymore if this legit or not. I opened a support ticket with Apple and ask them if it's legit, but no reply so far. Did someone made any similar experience on here?

"Contact Us to Continue"
Hey, Everyone. I am new to Apple Developer and want to enroll in the program to publish my app in the AppStore. I logged into my personal Apple account on the developer app and tried to enroll but I got the error message: "There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue. Please contact support." I click on the contact support button and I explain the situation. The developer support team gets back to me telling me that I need to turn on "twofactor authentication" I've had this on the entire time, but I check settings and remove it and turn it back on. After this I tried enrolling again but got the same error message. I've contacted support again explaining the situation but I've not gotten a response yet. My question is, Has anyone else encountered this problem? and if so, How did you solve it? Thanks in advance, Lars A

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.

Apple Developer account
Hello, I created my Apple Developer account and it was authorized, but when I went ahead and paid $99, my card was not charged (I've used two different credit cards, all in my name) and I still haven't been successful. Has anyone else experienced the same thing and what would be the best way to resolve this? NOTE: I receive an email and proof that the purchase was successful, but nothing has changed.

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?

Can't complete the Apple Developer Program Enrollment
We've been having some troubles to create a new account for apple developer for the company i'm currently working for. The first feedback we got was that I could create my personal account and then transfer the Duns Number for the company account when the problem would be solved. We have the Duns Number, but I can't create the Apple Developer Program because of the following warning: Tell us about your organization. Legal Entity Name The information you entered did not match your D&B profile. Before submitting your information, check your D&B profile. If you've recently changed your legal entity name, update your D&B profile. We are from Brazil and the support for the apple developer is only USA or Canada. Could you help us? We have a lot of questions. We need to create the account so that we could publish our APP But so far we couldn't create the account

Issue with Paying Apple Developer Fee Using Prepaid Card in Cameroon
Hello Apple Developer Community, I am encountering an issue while trying to pay the $119.99 Apple Developer Program fee through the Apple Developer app. I have linked a prepaid card to my Apple ID, which works perfectly fine for other purchases and subscriptions, but I am unable to complete the payment for the developer fee. Here are the details of the issue: Payment Method: Prepaid card connected to my Apple ID. Amount: $119.99 (Apple Developer Program fee). Location: Cameroon. Other Transactions: All other purchases and subscriptions using the same prepaid card have been processed successfully without any issues. When I attempt to pay for the developer fee, the payment doesn’t go through, and I receive an error message (Payment Failed). I’ve verified that my card has sufficient funds and that the information is correctly entered in my Apple ID account settings. Has anyone else faced a similar issue, particularly with prepaid cards or payments in Cameroon? Any advice or guidance on how to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

I can't cancel test subscription
When I try to cancel it I get "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again". I have since created a new test user from "Users and access", set the renewal for subscriptions to be at 5min. Added the new test user on my iPad where I am developing locally as a sandbox account, and then purchased the same subscription. And same problem happened - I can't cancel it from Apple ID -> Subscriptions. Getting the very same error. Also the subscription there seems to renew on a daily base and not on every 5 minute as I have set it. If I try "Clear purchase history" from the "Users and Access" from AppStore connect - nothing happens, I still see the subscription and I can't purchase it again. Please advise how to proceed in this situation. This happens on iOS 15.5 if it does matter and I am using StoreKit2. Regards, Al

The local player is not authenticated. Please log the local player in to Game Center.
I'm receiving this error when attempting to log into my game and authenticating via Firebase and Game Center. I am using Unity to develop my game and have been able to successfully authenticate with Google Play and Apple Sign In but Game Center is giving some trouble. The error seems easy enough except I have triple checked that I am signed in to Game Center with the profile that is set up in Sandbox Testing. Other things I have verified: I have a provisioning profile and game center is on it. In xCode I have Game Center on my signing capabilities, entitlements, and have the GameKit.framework in my Link Binary with Libraries. Any ideas as to what may be causing this error to throw? Maybe another step I missed somewhere?

Shocked by Apple Developer Program Experience – Account Banned Without Explanation
I am absolutely shocked and frustrated by the way the Apple Developer Program operates. My team and I recently attempted to launch two completely unique applications through the platform: Goal Hero and Redsport App. Both apps were thoroughly reviewed by our team lead during a code review to ensure they met all the required standards. However, despite all our efforts, Apple repeatedly rejected our submissions without providing clear, actionable feedback. After multiple attempts to communicate and understand the issues, Apple has now banned our developer account entirely and hasn’t responded to any of my inquiries for over a month. We are a legitimate game development studio working under the name Betonred. We’ve always adhered to ethical practices and were excited to expand our business on the App Store after years of success on Google Play. This experience has left us questioning Apple’s commitment to supporting developers, especially smaller teams trying to grow. Honestly, at this point, I am considering restructuring our entire business model to return to focusing solely on Google Play. Apple’s lack of transparency, poor communication, and seemingly arbitrary decisions have made it nearly impossible to work effectively within this ecosystem. Has anyone else faced similar issues? What’s the best course of action here? Apple’s system feels completely broken.

Developer account stuck in limbo (Case ID: 102451753655)
Hi everyone, I’m seeking advice or guidance regarding a frustrating issue with my Apple Developer Account that’s been unresolved since October this year. Here’s the situation: My account was fully functional from October 2023 until October 13, 2024. During that time, my enrollment as a US LLC was accepted, I paid the membership fee with auto-renew enabled, and everything was in order. On October 13, 2024, I encountered a problem where my account is now stuck in what seems like a “limbo.” When I log in to developer.apple.com, I see an option to “Enroll today,” but clicking it shows the error: “Sorry, you can’t enroll at this time. Your Apple ID is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership.” I’ve contacted Apple Support multiple times over the past month and a half. Each time, I’ve been told my case (ID: 102451753655) has been escalated to an internal review team, but I’ve received no updates, timelines, or resolutions. This issue is severely impacting my business, as my app is ready for release but cannot be published. I’m looking for advice: • Has anyone experienced something similar? • Are there alternative ways to escalate this issue beyond the usual support channels? At this point, I’m considering taking this issue to public platforms like Twitter/X and LinkedIn to get Apple’s attention. If the problem persists, I’ll likely need to involve legal representation. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

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!
