Hello, guys.
I am going through a situation in which an open validation appears in the system/developer mode and I would like to understand better if this is something normal in this process.
Could someone confirm if this type of validation is expected at this stage? I would also like to know what criteria I can observe to be sure that it is legitimate and that I can trust the activation.
Thank you in advance for your attention and help.
Thank you

Hey all. I am new to this space and recently just purchased to become an Apple Developer. Is the review process for the developer application normally this long? Is there an expected time frame? Thanks!

Hello all,
I am trying to submit a request for endpoint security entitlement.
I keep getting this error for weeks:
This page isn’t working
developer.apple.com is currently unable to handle this request.

I enrolled for the Apple Developer Program last Thursday (Feb 12) - no status update apart from a message I've seen others have thus processed payment:
Purchase your membership.
To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now
Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.
I've reached out to support twice now, no luck. Anything that worked for someone in the same boat? I have a test group planned and would need to apply my app for testflight as soon as possible to leave some headroom.
"Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time."
I know a lot here are also experiencing this slow and seemingly ignorance from the Apple team to solve this problem or of related issue. As a new guy to the Apple ecosystem and in development world, i thought it'll be a breeze but oh my pickle! I thought I'd lose my mind!
Tried through the website, on my mac and phone but nothing seems working. Paying online using my card is fine, but when it comes to paying the enrollment I don't get why I am having an (1) authorization issue , other case using another method prohibits me due to (2) no availability in my region, or that a (3)disabled "Enroll Now" list item via Developer App on iOS devices.
Support though mail is nonexistent and when in a call, albeit the support staff is polite, the responses I got are pretty vague and with no certainty ---- making me paranoid. Don't they see the time costing developers waiting for this simple stuff to be solved? Unbelievable :(

Hello,
I recently purchased the Apple Developer Program 1-Year Membership.
Order Number: W1626930340
Order Date: February 16, 2026
Amount Charged: THB 3,590
My bank account was successfully charged, and I received a payment confirmation email. However, when I checked my order status, it shows "Cancelled" and says the item was discontinued and no invoice will be sent.
I have not received any refund yet.
Could someone please help explain why this happened and how I can get my refund or resolve this issue?
Thank you very much.

I attempted to register with ADP from the developer app. After entering my driver's license, address, and name, a pop-up appeared stating “There may be an issue with your account.” Subsequently, the “Register Now” button for ADP within the app became inactive.
What could this account issue be? I would like to know how to proceed with registering with ADP.

Hey everyone,
Is anyone else seeing massive delays right now?
I submitted my app, Brew Routes, on February 5th and it has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for over 13 days. No messages in the Resolution Center and no status changes.
I’m hesitant to reject and resubmit because I don't want to lose my spot in the queue.
Apple ID: 6758462674
Submitted: Feb 5, 2026
Status: Waiting for Review
Platform: iOS / Capacitor
Is it worth requesting an expedited review at this point, or are others seeing this same February backlog?

Hello Apple Developer Forums,
My iOS app provides loan services and was rejected under Guideline 3.2.1(viii) with the following message:
“The app provides loan services but the domains listed on the app’s Product Pages are not clearly under your control or ownership… Update the Product Page metadata to only include domains you both own and that are used as email domains for Apple Accounts registered to your developer account… Account Holder and Admin users should use emails with domains that identify the company providing loan services.”
I’m trying to understand exactly what Apple expects and how to pass review.
What I’ve already checked / updated
I own a company domain (ikiela.org) and I can create emails on this domain
Questions
For loan apps, does Apple require that all Product Page fields (Support URL, Marketing URL, Privacy Policy URL, Support Email, etc.) use the same domain that matches the financial institution?
What are the best practices to prove domain ownership/control (DNS, website content, legal pages, email domain setup, etc.) that typically satisfy App Review for Guideline 3.2.1(viii)?
Context
Thanks in advance for any help, especially from Apple staff or developers who have already resolved this rejection.

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program more than 48 hours ago around 4 days ago. The payment was successfully charged to my card, and I received a subscription confirmation email.
However, my developer account is still not activated, and I’m unable to access the full developer features.
Has anyone experienced a similar delay? Is there anything specific I should do, or does activation take longer than expected , i tried to contact support twice throw mail but i got no response !
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm stuck with enrollment. Tried through the website 3 times weeks ago - still shows pending, wasn't charged, never received any confirmations.
Tried through the app - the only option for identity verification I have is Driver's license (amazing), and mine is from a different country then my current residence. Tried uploading it anyway together with a residence permit - rejected.
Tried contacting them - the only option I have is an email, they always reply like once every ~4 days, constantly changing people responding who lose the context of conversation, ask meaningless questions and give ridiculous advices like "check your internet connection". Imagine waiting a week for a response and then this new guy hits you with "Do you still wish to enroll?".
$99/year for this premium experience.
Is there any other way to get it?
My Apple Developer Program membership has expired and my app has been removed. I am unable to find any renewal option or button on both the website and the app. Kindly assist me in renewing my account and reinstating my product at the earliest.

Hi,
I’m enrolling our company in the Apple Developer Program and the enrollment has been stuck in Pending for 8 days. I contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times but haven’t received any response or request for additional information.
Details:
Enrollment ID: 6N5TLZQ68F
Country: Türkiye
I have the legal authority to bind the company to the Apple Developer Program agreements.
Could someone from Apple please check the status and let me know if anything is missing on my side?
Thank you,

Organization enrollment paused due to ID verification — best way to proceed after updating passport?
Hi, I’m trying to understand the correct process for Apple Developer Program organization enrollment when identity verification cannot be completed due to an outdated passport photo.
Based on our last communication, I believe the enrollment was paused/declined because my passport photo didn’t match my current appearance (I’m assuming this because the last communication we had was specifically about my passport photo). I have since obtained a new passport with an updated photo.
Timeline for context:
• Jan 9: My enrollment was put on hold / could not proceed after ID verification.
• Jan 12: I applied for a new passport with an updated photo.
• After receiving the new passport, I followed up to provide the updated ID, but I’m not sure what the correct next step is in the enrollment workflow.
Could you please advise the recommended way to proceed?
• Should I submit a new organization enrollment, or can the existing one be re-opened/continued? I couldn’t find a way to resubmit/continue the existing enrollment from my side.
• What is the proper channel to submit the updated ID again (for example, via the file-upload link or another path)?
• If there is a standard escalation path for enrollment/verification cases, what is the best way to follow it?
We’ve completed our testing and preparation on other platforms, but we haven’t been able to complete the iOS side due to this enrollment issue, which is blocking our overall product launch.
I’m sure you’re handling a very high volume of enrollment requests from all over the world every day. We’re a small/new team and we’ve been working on this for a long time, so any guidance on the correct process would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
We purchased an Apple Developer Program membership on 20th January, and even after nearly one month, the account is still not activated. The Apple Developer app continues to display “You will receive an email soon,” but we have not received any communication from Apple so far. This is a first-time subscription, and the prolonged activation delay is impacting our development and release timelines. We would appreciate clarification on the reason for this delay and guidance on the next steps.
