Fellow Apple Developers and Apple Developer Support Team, If you’re seeing the message **“Your enrollment is being processed. Your enrollment ID is **” for weeks (or longer) with no updates, no follow-up emails, and no access to App Store Connect, you are not alone. I’m posting this in the hope of helping everyone experiencing the same frustrating delay and giving Apple a clear, visible signal that this is impacting real developers right now. My Situation (and Why It Matters) I submitted my Apple Developer Program enrollment several weeks ago, completed payment successfully, and have since sent two support emails requesting an update. The status remains unchanged. Meanwhile, my app is already live and performing well on Google Play. I’m ready to submit the iOS version, but I cannot even reach TestFlight or App Store Connect because the enrollment is still “processing.” Like many of you, I’ve read dozens of identical threads here on the forums and on Reddit in the past month alone—individual enrollments, organization enrollments, renewals— all stuck in the exact same state far beyond Apple’s published timelines. What We Know (Grounded in Apple’s Own Guidance and Community Reports) Apple’s official enrollment help page states that after purchase you should receive confirmation within 24–48 hours and that processing may involve verification of legal name, contact details, and (for organizations) D-U-N-S number or other business documents. If any information doesn’t match exactly (even a minor formatting issue with your legal name), Apple may request government-issued photo ID, which can add time. In practice, however, many developers in early 2026 are reporting waits of 2–7+ weeks with zero communication. There are currently no official Apple news posts, system-status alerts, or blog updates from the past month that directly acknowledge a backlog or explain the extended processing times. The Apple System Status page simply shows “Program Enrollment and Renewals – Available,” which doesn’t reflect the real-world experience we’re all seeing. Practical Steps You Can Take Right Now While we wait for Apple to respond, here are the constructive actions that have helped some developers move forward (or at least get clarity): Double-check every detail in your enrollment --Legal first/last name must exactly match your government ID (no nicknames, company names, or abbreviations). --Ensure the Apple ID email and contact phone are current and reachable. --For organizations: confirm your D-U-N-S number is active and correctly linked. Submit a fresh support request via the Apple Developer Contact form (even if you’ve already sent one) and reference your exact Enrollment ID. In the “Notes” field, politely include: --Date of purchase --Confirmation that payment cleared --That you have already followed up X times with no response --Business impact (e.g., app ready on Google Play, users waiting for iOS version) If you have an existing paid membership or previous apps, try renewing or accessing via that account first—it sometimes bypasses the stuck flow. Document everything (screenshots of the status page, payment receipts, support case IDs). This helps if escalation becomes necessary. For those also facing App Review/TestFlight delays once enrolled: note that even after enrollment clears, the first external TestFlight build triggers a beta review, and the final App Store submission still requires full review. There is no supported way to bypass TestFlight or direct-submit to the App Store—every public build goes through Apple’s review pipeline. Many of us are using high version numbers for ongoing TestFlight testing while the production version waits for approval. These steps are not a guarantee, but they keep your case visible and reduce the chance of a preventable administrative hold. Call to Action To everyone reading this: If you’re in the same situation, please reply below with your approximate wait time, whether it’s an individual or organization enrollment, and your region. Let’s create a clear picture of the scale of this issue so Apple can see the impact. To the Apple Developer Support and Program teams: We understand verifications take time and that you handle high volume, but weeks of silence after payment and two support requests is causing real business harm. A status update, even a general acknowledgment of current processing times, would be enormously helpful. I commit to updating this thread the moment my enrollment moves or I receive any communication from you. Thank you for reading, and thank you in advance to Apple for any assistance you can provide. Let’s get every legitimate developer into the ecosystem so we can focus on building great apps for users. I will update this post as soon as I have any progress. —Merek, Founder WRENCH: Pocket Mechanic

Hi everyone, I’m running into a frustrating issue with the Apple Developer Program and would really appreciate any advice. I was charged $99 USD for the membership and received the confirmation email saying it would be processed within 2 business days. However, I still don’t have access to the membership, and nothing has been activated on my account. What makes it worse — I’ve already tried contacting Apple support multiple times via email, but I haven’t received any response at all. So right now I’m stuck: payment went through, but no membership and no support response. Has anyone faced this before? Did your membership eventually activate on its own? Is there any way to actually reach Apple support (chat, phone, anything that works)? Should I escalate this somehow or request a refund through my bank? Any advice would really help — I feel like I’m just shouting into the void at this point. Thanks 🙏

My Apple Developer account was recently terminated, and I received an email stating that the reason was section 3.2(f) of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. However, I have not changed anything recently in our apps, business model, or developer activity, and I genuinely do not understand the reason behind this termination. I have always tried to follow Apple’s guidelines carefully and act in good faith. This termination has severely impacted my work and users, and I am urgently requesting clarification regarding what exactly triggered this action. If someone from Apple or the App Review / Developer Relations team could please contact me or review the case again, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

My Apple Developer Program enrollment has now been unresolved for more than 30 days. My case number is: 20000128102043 Apple Developer Support previously confirmed that they had received my documentation, and approximately three weeks ago I was also informed that my enrollment/application was under review. Since then, I have received no meaningful update. I have now sent approximately 55 emails in an attempt to follow up on this case, but I am no longer receiving responses. I have also tried to request telephone support through the Apple Developer Support website. However, when I select the phone support option and attempt to verify my telephone number, I am redirected back to the Cases page and cannot complete the callback request. At this point I effectively have no working support channel. The situation is particularly frustrating because Apple has already confirmed that: my documentation was received; my case is active; my enrollment/application was under review. Yet more than three weeks have passed since that confirmation, and despite repeated follow-ups, I have received no further information about what is outstanding or how I can complete the process. I am completely willing to provide any additional documentation, identification, or information required. I simply need someone from Apple Developer Support to review case 20000128102043 and advise what is happening with my enrollment. This issue is now preventing me from releasing my completed iOS application, despite the development work already being ready, and had to refund numerous clients since Apple was supposed to be launched already. Could an Apple Developer Support representative please review or escalate this case and provide me with an update?

Hello, I’m looking for guidance regarding an Apple Developer Program enrollment issue that has remained unresolved despite multiple contacts with Apple Support. I enrolled as an Individual and successfully paid the $99 Apple Developer Program membership fee. The payment was charged and I received an official Apple invoice. Initially, Apple Developer Support informed me that my membership had been successfully purchased and activated and showed the membership status as Processed. Shortly afterward, however, I received another message stating: “For one or more reasons, your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program couldn’t be completed.” I contacted Developer Support under: Case 20000136025222 Developer Support subsequently indicated that the issue appeared to be related to my Apple Account and directed me to Apple Support. I contacted Apple Support directly and successfully completed Apple Account verification. The Apple Support advisor could not identify why Developer Support had redirected the enrollment issue to them. I then attempted enrollment again through the official Developer website. Immediately after selecting Individual / Sole Proprietor and clicking Continue, I receive: “Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” No request for identity documents or additional verification is presented. I also have another Developer Support case: Case 20000142610492 At this point, I would appreciate guidance from Apple Developer Support on whether my enrollment requires a manual identity/compliance review or additional Developer identity verification. I am fully prepared to provide my passport, government-issued identification, payment invoice, or any other required documentation through Apple’s secure verification process. Could Apple Developer Support please review or escalate these cases to the appropriate Enrollment/Membership team or Senior Advisor and advise what specific verification or action is required from my side? Thank you.

We are a team of developers, and our company is involved in creating mobile applications. Recently, our developer account was terminated, and all active apps were removed from the App Store. The email mentioned that our app violates section 3.2(f) of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. We've been trying to identify the issue since then, but we're not involved in any fraudulent activities. Our company is facing a critical situation as it is essential for us to have the apps back on the App Store as soon as possible. We are unsure of how to proceed and would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance. Thanks. Our app ID com.seriktes.kz App name Seriktes

Hi everyone, I'm completely stuck in an enrollment loop and developer support emails have gone unanswered for a week. Hoping an Apple engineer here can flag my account to get this cleared. The Issue: I attempted to enroll in the Apple Developer Program via the web portal (from Israel). The payment went into a "pending" limbo state. It has been a week, my card was never charged, and the enrollment is just stuck. I tried the recommended workaround of finishing the enrollment via the Apple Developer App on my Mac/iPhone. The app blocks me with the error: "Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account. Visit http://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/." I am now caught in a loop where the web portal is frozen waiting for a ghost payment, and the app refuses to let me restart the process. I am trying to launch a SaaS application and this backend bug is completely blocking my deployment schedule. Has anyone found a way to force-cancel a pending web enrollment so I can start fresh, or is there an Apple rep here who can look into my Apple ID and clear the block?

A couple of months ago, I joined a team of mine to produce an iOS app, and ever since I've done this, I've lost my own developer license, and I cannot get it back. Did any of you already have the same problem? If so, is there a way to get it back? I already applied to developer support a couple of times, but I did not receive a reply yet.

Hi there, Our developer program enrolment (for non-profit) has been in processing state since more than 4 weeks. I have tried to contact apple, but with no luck (currently 3 open support cases with no email replies or callbacks). Please advise us what to do?

Hello, I apparently have the same problem as many here: I’m having an issue enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual / Sole Proprietor. I completed the enrollment process and submitted the $99 membership purchase. Apple sent me an order acknowledgement saying that the order would be processed within 2 business days. However: My credit card has never been charged. My Developer account remains in Pending status!((( The account still shows “Purchase your membership”. Trying to continue or restart the enrollment sometimes results in “We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred.” It has now been several days with no progress. I have also seen other recent posts describing very similar enrollment/payment issues. Has anyone recently managed to resolve this? Is there currently a known issue with Apple Developer Program enrollment or payment processing?

Hi everyone, it has been more than 10 days that my subscription request is "pending", I received an email 2 days after my initial payment asking for a document (I made a mistake by typing too fast and inversed my STATE & CITY), I sent the document but there is no feedback, plus there is no phone support available from France apaprently ("service currently not available"). I feel blocked and already paid the service.

Hi, I’m hoping someone here has come across this before, because I’ve pretty much run out of options with Developer Support. I’ve been trying to enrol in the Apple Developer Program for quite a while. After a lot of back and forth, Apple eventually told me the problem is that my trusted device or 2FA phone number is associated with several other Apple Accounts. I can understand how this might have happened. I’ve been using Apple products for years and I’ve helped family, friends and other people set up and troubleshoot their Apple devices over that time. Some of these associations could be years old. The problem is that Apple understandably won’t tell me which accounts are involved because of privacy. I don’t have a problem with that and I’m not asking for anyone else’s account information. But it leaves me stuck. I’ve basically been told that I need to remove my details from those accounts, while at the same time there’s no way for me to know which accounts they are. Developer Support have now told me they’ve gone as far as they can with it. I’m quite happy to prove who I am. I have an Australian passport, I can verify my current phone number and devices, and I’m happy to provide whatever other identification Apple needs. I also noticed Apple’s identity verification documentation says to contact Support if you need to verify your identity using a method other than the Apple Developer app. I’ve asked about this, but so far I haven’t been able to find anyone who can actually move the enrolment forward. I’m not trying to get around Apple’s security. I just need some way of proving that I am who I say I am when the normal enrolment system can’t do it. I already have a fairly extensive Developer Support case for all of this, which I’m happy to provide privately to Apple staff if needed. Has anyone else run into this? Or, if someone from Apple sees this, is there another team or a manual verification process that Developer Support can refer this to? Thanks, Tom

Hi everyone, My Apple Developer Program membership has expired on March 11, 2026, and I am unable to find any option to renew it. Team ID: 532YXBDAKC I have checked the following places but there is no renewal option available anywhere: The Apple Developer website (developer.apple.com) – no renewal button or prompt visible in my account The Apple Developer app on Mac – no renewal option found The Apple Developer app on iPhone – no renewal option found I would like to renew my membership as soon as possible, but I am completely stuck as there is no clear path to do so. Has anyone else faced this issue? How can I get this resolved? Is there a direct way to contact Apple Developer support for membership renewal? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I've submitted an app for review three times, but each time it's been stuck at 'waiting for review' for several days, all more than a week. When contacting apple I was advised that 90% of apps are reviewed with in 48 hours, but this is the third time I've been part of the other 10%. Has anyone else had issues with their app just sitting at 'waiting for review'? It's the first publish of an app, if that makes a difference?

Hello, I am posting here after exhausting the email support channel, hoping a member of Apple staff can review and escalate my case. Enrollment ID: U6T22S4V22 Enrollment type: Organization D-U-N-S: already registered and verified Timeline July 10: Organization enrollment submitted. July 29: First support request sent (Case ID: 102938938248). July 18: Follow-up sent. No reply. August 26: Additional follow-up sent. No reply. It has now been more than a month. During that time I have received no request for additional documentation, no identity verification call, and no explanation for the delay. The only responses have been automated acknowledgements. The enrollment status has not changed. Our D-U-N-S number was already registered and active before submitting, so this is not a case of a pending or mismatched company record. This delay has put a client project on hold, and I have no way to give my team or the client a realistic timeline because there has been no communication at all. What I am asking for Could a member of Apple staff please review enrollment U6T22S4V22 and escalate it for manual review? I am happy to provide any documentation or verification needed — I simply have no channel through which to provide it. I would also note that a number of recent threads in this forum describe the same pattern: organization enrollments held in processing for weeks, with support cases receiving only automated replies. I raise this constructively — many of us have business commitments depending on these timelines, and even an acknowledgement with an expected resolution date would make a significant difference. Thank you for your time.

Hi, hoping someone from the team can help move this along. We're enrolling our organization in the Apple Developer Program. Apple's identity verification team requested additional documents — government-issued photo ID, employment verification, and a business document — which we submitted on July 20 through the file-upload portal referenced in that request. We haven't heard anything since. Enrollment ID: 3RQBS82JYP Happy to provide anything further if needed — just looking for a status update or next steps. Thanks in advance.

Hi, My Name is Asma Alharbi, I've tried to enroll to the Apple Developer Program more than 5 time in the past month, but it always send e email as follows: Dear ASMAA ALHARBI, Thank you for your order. Here's a summary of your order request, which will be processed within 2 business days. We'll notify you when your items are ready. Order Details: Apple Developer Program US$ 99 Best regards, Apple Developer Relations Then nothing happens. Dear Apple Team, can you check on my enrollment status? Thank you!

Hi, Posting here after exhausting standard support channels for a stuck organization enrollment. Timeline: August 7, 2026 — Submitted Apple Developer Program enrollment for our organization. Since then — No update, no email, no change in status. The enrollment has been sitting silently for over 4 weeks with no indication of what (if anything) is wrong. Support attempts so far: Opened multiple support cases (Case numbers: 102954003819, 20000146177866, 20000136358412) via developer.apple.com/contact. No response to either. Requested a phone callback through the "Membership and Account" contact option many times, from different phone numbers. Each time no callback. No error message, rejection notice, or request for additional information has been received at any point — the case simply shows no progress. What I'm asking: Could someone from Apple Developer Relations or a forum moderator help look into this case, or advise on how to get a response? I'm happy to provide any additional verification or documentation needed — I just have no visibility into what's blocking the review, and standard channels haven't been able to help.

Hi @AppleSupport, our Apple Developer enrollment for L.T.O consultants Ltd has been stuck in "Processing / Pending" for over 4 months with no response. Our app is ready for launch and we urgently need this escalated. Enrollment ID: 83283WMKJC. Could someone please look into this? Thank you.
