Hello, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program (Individual) for the first time, but I'm completely stuck at the identity verification step. The Apple Developer app / Developer Support tells me my identity was "already verified using a different Apple Account." However, I have only ever had ONE Apple ID (used continuously since my iPhone 5s, through my iPhone 7, and now my iPhone 13 and Mac — same email the entire time). I have never created, accessed, or verified identity on any other Apple Account. I contacted Developer Support (case 20000143970410). Two advisors, including a Senior Advisor, confirmed the block but said there is no manual override available, no team that can view or share info about the other account, and no way to resolve this on their end. They have since closed my case. Given that I've never had another Apple ID, this seems to be either: A system error incorrectly matching my identity to someone else's account, or Someone else using my personal identity documents to verify a different Apple Account without my knowledge. Has anyone experienced this exact situation and found a resolution? Could a moderator please take a look at case 20000143970410? Thank you in advance for any help.

After installing Xcode 27.0 SwiftUI NavigationStack is generating unwanted warnings that have not been seen with older releases. Examples of the warnings are "cannot add handler to 0 from 0 - dropping". A minimal view using VStack does not generate these messages but adding NavigationStack seems to generate pairs of messages. Over the lifetime of an application hundreds of messages are generated. Is this a known issue?

Hello, Does anybody know how long Xcode takes preparing before starting downloading? Is one hour enough?

Our organization submitted an enrollment application for the Apple Developer Program through the developer website, but the application has been stuck on "Pending" status well past the stated 24-hour window.

Everything has been updated. Countless reboots and reinstalls. Yet Xcode still won't open. Keep getting "Xcode quit unexpectedly dialog" with buttons to Reopen, Ignore, Report. Any suggestions on what lingering file is killing Xcode on open? Thanks!

We are planning to upgrade our CI setup to run on Xcode 27, but we want to run tests on several older iOS simulator runtimes: 26, 18, 17… With Xcode 26.6, we had no trouble installing the needed runtimes by running: $ xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 18.6 $ xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 17.5 $ xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 16.4 When using Xcode 27.0 (27A266a), however, the command fails to work for any runtime older than iOS 26.0: $ xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 18.6 Finding content... iOS 18.6 is not available for download. At the same time, the runtimes can be installed just fine by using the "Add Platforms…" dialog from the Components pane in Xcode settings. Unfortunately, that's not an option in a headless CI machine. The same issue also reproduces in the beta versions 27.1 (27A9269) and 27.2 (27B5019j), and regardless of macOS version (26.7 or 27.0). Any idea how to work around the issue? I wonder if's a broken backend configuration or a regression in Xcode 27? Posted as FB24836279.

My individual enrollment is completely gridlocked (see case ID Case ID 102964219702). The iOS Developer App is experiencing a terminal redirect loop forcing me to the web, and the web portal is locked 'In Review'. Frontline staff state there is a duplicate Apple ID flag. I have verified via appleid.apple.com that I only have one active account. I require an escalation to Tier 2 Senior Operations to perform a manual identity override. I have government-issued ID ready to upload immediately to clear this flag. 2 phone calls, 6 emails, only one totally unhelpful response. Cannot move forward on a project until I enroll and I've been stuck in this holding pattern for days. Never had this treatment from Apple before: very disappointing.

Our companies enrollment stuck: ID HGA7954TP4 When I login to developer account i see "Join the Apple Developer Program " and Enroll button even we already enrolled.. When i press Enroll button i see "Thank you for your submission. We’ll review the details you provided and contact you soon." We already submited all requested documents.

Anyone know if it is possible to run our app from Xcode 26.3, in an iOS 27 simulator? I see several are listed in the simulator-selection menu but thus far no luck building for them. Background: Trying to see what our app looks like in iOS 27 even before scene delegate migration is complete.

Hi, I am German and living in Thailand. My current Apple account is set to Germany, that's why I made another account with location Thailand. But I cannot enroll in the program because my German drivers license or german passport is not accepted. Of course I don't have any Thai documents because I'm German with a German passport, but living in Thailand. How can I register for the Individual Developer Program? Thank you Christian

I created an account with my DUNS number 2 months ago and I am still waiting for my account to be approved (pending). They said my trade name was too long and I sent my new title 45 days ago. What should I do about this? These processes should not be this difficult and long.

Hi… i was trying to enroll my account and i got that message “Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program is under review. Please contact us.” i sended an email but nobody responded me…

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual and completed the USD 99 membership purchase on September 15, 2026. The payment was successfully processed, and I received both the Apple order confirmation and invoice. However, more than 48 hours later: my Apple Developer account still shows the enrollment as Pending; the portal still displays “Purchase your membership” and asks me to complete the purchase again; I do not have access to an active Developer Program team; Xcode only shows my Personal Team, so it cannot create the required provisioning profile for the app because Sign in with Apple is enabled. I already contacted Apple Developer Support about 24 hours ago: Case ID: 102964975487 Enrollment ID: S4GNUQR7J6 Order Number: D005232549 Invoice Number: MD06813808 I have not submitted another payment because the existing USD 99 purchase has already been completed. Has anyone experienced the same situation recently, or could Apple Developer Support please confirm whether my case is already under review or requires any additional verification? Thank you.

I am posting here because the process of migrating my Apple Developer Program membership from an individual account to an organization account has become incredibly frustrating. I submitted my migration request on July 2 and provided all of the requested company and account information. As of today (September 1, 2026), 61 days have passed without the migration being completed. I understand that account changes may require verification, but waiting more than eight weeks with no clear timeline or meaningful progress is unreasonable. This delay is affecting my ability to manage my developer account and conduct business under my company’s legal entity. I have complied with every request and supplied the necessary information, yet I still do not know what is holding up the migration or when it will be completed. I would appreciate a clear explanation of the current status, whether anything further is required from me, and a concrete timeframe for resolution. If anyone from Apple Developer Support can escalate this matter to the appropriate team, I would be grateful. I have received many emails from the Apple team with the exact same message. None of them have stated any substance of value; they have simply stated that the process is underway, without providing any clear details on timeline or expectations. Has anyone else experienced such a lengthy delay when migrating from an individual membership to an organization membership? If so, how was it ultimately resolved?

Hello, I’m trying to complete enrollment in the Apple Developer Program, but the process is completely blocked at the identity verification step. Every time I submit my government-issued photo ID in the Apple Developer app, verification fails and I’m instructed to contact Apple Developer Support. I contacted Developer Support more than two weeks ago and case 102951828241 was opened. I received the initial acknowledgement, but I have still not received any substantive response or instructions on how to proceed, despite following up again. I also tried to use phone support, but the Developer Support page currently says that phone support is temporarily unavailable due to high call volumes. This is urgently blocking our Apple Developer Program enrollment and our ability to distribute our application. Could an Apple Developer Support representative please review or escalate case 102951828241 to the Program Enrollment / Identity Verification team, or let me know what I need to do to get the identity verification manually reviewed or reset? I can provide any additional identification or company documentation immediately through Apple’s secure process. Thank you.

I have a workflow where I want to specifically run some tests in the iOS 18 simulator. All while using Xcode 26 on Xcode Cloud. In my Xcode Cloud workflow I can set the iOS version, but just iOS 16, 17 and 26, but no 18? I'm very confused here Not sure which is the right channel anyway to request support to Xcode Cloud too

Logged a case (ID 102964944684) and concerned our business-critical app will be removed from our account as a result of our subscription failing to be renewed, despite the fact we renewed on Sep 11 and have record of the renewal charge on our card.

Anyone has any idea how to contact the « developper » customer service? even apple customer service weren’t able to help. Approximate number of days to validate Developer account?

I renewed my Apple Developer Program membership and the payment was successfully processed. It's now been 3 days, but my membership still shows as expired. App Store Connect says: “The Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been updated and needs review.” However, when I sign in as the Account Holder, there is no agreement available to review or accept. In App Store Connect → Agreements, Tax, and Banking, both Paid Apps Agreement and Free Apps Agreement show as Expired, with no option to accept or reactivate them. I've already submitted a Developer Support case but haven't received a response.

Hi all, We submitted a request to update our organization's name on our Apple Developer Program account in June, and we are still waiting. It is a simple name change. The company, D-U-N-S number and account holder are all the same, and the D-U-N-S record has already been updated. We made the exact same change with Google Play Console, and it was done in 48 hours. We have contacted Developer Support several times, but the only answer we get is that the request is "being reviewed," with no timeline. This has become a serious problem for us. While the change is pending, we are unable to release updates. Our current app version has a crash that we have already fixed, but we cannot ship the fix. Our users are experiencing crashes every day, and we are losing customers because of it. We understand Apple needs to verify legal entity changes, but waiting from June until now for a name update, while our app is broken in the store, is not sustainable. Has anyone been through this recently? How long did your name change take, and did you find a way to escalate it? If someone from Apple sees this, we would really appreciate help getting this resolved as soon as possible. Thank you.
