Hi everyone, I've been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program for the past 5 days and keep hitting the same error at the final step: "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred." I've already contacted Apple Developer Support but have not received any response after 5 days. I've also tried: Different browsers and clearing cache/cookies Different network connections My Apple ID is in good standing and my payment method is valid. The error gives no further details, which makes it hard to troubleshoot. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Any help or guidance from Apple staff would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello Apple Developer Support Team, I completed my Apple Developer Program enrollment directly through the Developer app on site https://developer.apple.com . The identity verification and payment were successfully processed. However, when I log in via the web, I still see the message “Complete Your Purchase,” and my enrollment status appears as Pending. The system seems to be asking me to proceed with enrollment again. I applied on April 4, 2026 but still haven't been getting any mail activation back or email ticket, phone call from Apple. Could you please review my account and clarify the current status of my enrollment? Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, Has anyone else experienced paying through the Apple Developer app, then not being able to access the account? It says I need to register via the website, but it asks me to pay again. I contacted Apple Developer support twice and they have not responded yet. Any help would be great! Switchwings

I did my apple enrolment on April 3rd and I don not have any response yet. What are the next steps

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone here has experienced a similar issue with the Apple Developer Program enrollment. I completed and paid for the “Program Enrollment” a week ago (April 2, 2026), and I also received the invoice on Monday. However, my account is still not activated as a developer. I keep seeing the message: “Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now. Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.” Also, when I go to the enrollment page, it still asks me to complete the payment again. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support but haven’t received any response so far. Has anyone had this problem before? How long did it take for your account to get activated? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on March 30, 2026. The payment was successfully charged to my card and I received the receipt from Apple. However, my account is still showing "Pending" status for more than a week now. I submitted a support request but have not received any response yet. Order Number: W1557188249 Has anyone else experienced this recently? Did contacting Apple support help resolve it? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on April 2, and it has now been a week, but my account is still showing as pending. I already sent an email to Apple Support about it, but I still have not received any update. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue. Did this happen to anyone here, and how long did it take for your enrollment to go through? I hope it gets fixed soon. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here can help or point me in the right direction. I paid for the Apple Developer Program on March 26, 2026, but as of today (April 8, 2026), my account is still not active. On the developer portal, it still shows “Purchase to complete”, even though the payment has already gone through. I’ve already submitted two support tickets, but I haven’t received any response so far. Case number: 102856383224 Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to escalate this issue? Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I am trying to enroll in developers program but I keep getting message: Your enrollment in developers program could not be completed at this time Any ideas? I wrote to support - it is 4 days of silence for now

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 🙏

Hello Apple Developer Support Team, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to request assistance regarding the activation of my Apple Developer Program membership. I have already completed the purchase of the Individual Developer Program (USD 99), but my account has not yet been activated. It has been longer than the usual processing time, and my Membership status still does not show as active. Thank you very much for your time and support. I appreciate your help.

My name is Paul Merriman. I am the founder of the Merriman Financial Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing free financial education. Our iOS app was initially submitted under our technology manager's personal developer account, which was correctly flagged as an issue. We have since enrolled the Foundation as an organization using our verified D-U-N-S number and submitted all required documentation confirming our nonprofit status. We are experiencing two related issues: 1. Enrollment Stuck Processing Our Foundation enrollment has been in "processing" status for several weeks. Our enrollment ID is 7YAJUR73GH. We have not received any updates or communication from Apple about what is needed to complete enrollment. 2. App Store Connect Access Because enrollment is not complete, we cannot log in to App Store Connect using the Foundation's Apple ID. We receive this error: "To access App Store Connect, you must be an individual or team member in the Apple Developer Program." App Review — No Response The app was previously rejected because it was under a personal account rather than the Foundation's account. We corrected this but have received no response to follow-up emails in several weeks. Has anyone experienced this with a nonprofit organization enrollment being stuck in processing? Is there an escalation path beyond email for enrollment issues? Thank you, Paul Merriman Merriman Financial Education Foundation

Dear Apple Developer Support, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to kindly follow up regarding my reinstatement request for my Apple Developer Program membership (Case ID: 102852765171). I would also like to respectfully clarify one point regarding my app. The app name “Tango” was used without any intention of infringing on copyright or creating confusion. At the time, I was not aware of any conflict, and I had checked availability on the App Store. However, I now understand that this may still raise concerns under Apple’s policies. I take full responsibility for this oversight. To address this, I confirm that I will permanently remove this app and will not publish it again under the same or similar name. I will ensure that all future apps are carefully reviewed to avoid any potential naming or policy issues. I fully understand the importance of Apple’s guidelines and remain committed to strict compliance moving forward. I would greatly appreciate any update you can provide regarding the status of my appeal. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Kind regards, Haseeb Gul Apple Developer Team ID: WPPH63HR8X

My iOS Swift application works without problems and tested on wide range of iPhones from iPhone X to iPhone 16 Pro Max when compiled by XCode 16.4. When compiled on Xcode 26 application it frequently crashes with 0x8BADF00D FRONTBOARD error in various places when running on iPhone 14 Plus, most often when typing or when scrolling the screen. It works without problems on iPhone 16 Pro Max independent of the version of Xcode used for compilation. I followed dozens of recommendations, introduced async/await, tasks, significantly reduced complexity of layouts, making uniform bubbles etc.etc. , tried to introduce many simplifications in the application, still I could not achieve elimination of frequent crashes on iPhone 14 Plus running iOS 26.3.1, no matter what I tried. Other than that all functionality seems to be working. This is the beginning of the Crash report: Termination Reason: Namespace FRONTBOARD, <RBSTerminateContext| domain:10 code:0x8BADF00D explanation: Failed to terminate gracefully after 5.0s ProcessVisibility: Unknown ProcessState: Running WatchdogEvent: process-exit WatchdogVisibility: Foreground WatchdogCPUStatistics: ( "Elapsed total CPU time (seconds): 9.330 (user 7.670, system 1.660), 29% CPU", "Elapsed application CPU time (seconds): 5.358, 17% CPU" ) Thread 0 name: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Thread 0 Crashed: 0 ??? 0x1b184c7b0 ??? 1 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19de70694 ContiguousArrayStorage.__deallocating_deinit + 95 2 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19dd013a8 swift_release_dealloc + 55 3 libswiftCore.dylib 0x19dd01fc4 bool swift::RefCounts<swift::RefCountBitsT<(swift::RefCountInlinedness)1>>::doDecrementSlow<(swift::PerformDeinit)1>(swift::RefCountBitsT<(swift::RefCountInlinedness)1>, unsigned int) + 151 4 SwiftUICore 0x1aaee2ca4 LazyLayoutViewCache.updatePrefetchPhases() + 1315 5 SwiftUICore 0x1ab129068 specialized LazySubviewPlacements.updateValue() + 4251 6 SwiftUICore 0x1ab14a23c specialized implicit closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in Attribute.init(:) + 23 7 AttributeGraph 0x1d2be8e48 AG::Graph::UpdateStack::update() + 499 8 AttributeGraph 0x1d2beacf0 AG::Subgraph::update(unsigned int) + 959 9 SwiftUICore 0x1aace5b44 specialized GraphHost.runTransaction(:do:id:) + 387 10 SwiftUICore 0x1aac772d8 GraphHost.flushTransactions() + 183 11 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0fa80 <deduplicated_symbol> + 23 12 SwiftUICore 0x1aac71578 partial apply for closure #1 in ViewGraphRootValueUpdater.updateGraph(body:) + 27 13 SwiftUICore 0x1aac73f54 ViewGraphRootValueUpdater._updateViewGraph(body:) + 231 14 SwiftUICore 0x1aac714d0 ViewGraphRootValueUpdater.updateGraph(body:) + 179 15 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0fa4c closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 171 16 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0f998 partial apply for closure #1 in closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 23 17 SwiftUICore 0x1aac69aa8 closure #1 in static Update.ensure(:) + 55 18 SwiftUICore 0x1aac69cec static Update.ensure(:) + 99 19 SwiftUI 0x1a9a0f970 partial apply for closure #1 in closure #1 in UIHostingView.beginTransaction() + 79 20 SwiftUICore 0x1aad97e10 <deduplicated_symbol> + 27 21 SwiftUICore 0x1aac5aab0 specialized static NSRunLoop.flushObservers() + 363 22 SwiftUICore 0x1aac5a91c @objc closure #1 in static NSRunLoop.addObserver(:) + 27 23 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c87ea0 CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_AN_OBSERVER_CALLBACK_FUNCTION + 35 24 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c7158c __CFRunLoopDoObservers + 647 25 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c48740 __CFRunLoopRun + 923 26 CoreFoundation 0x1a0c47a6c CFRunLoopRunSpecificWithOptions + 531 27 GraphicsServices 0x2455d9498 GSEventRunModal + 119 28 UIKitCore 0x1a66f7df8 -[UIApplication run] + 791 29 UIKitCore 0x1a66a0e54 UIApplicationMain + 335 30 SwiftUI 0x1a99b8d20 closure #1 in KitRendererCommon(:) + 167 31 SwiftUI 0x1a99b58d4 runApp(:) + 111 32 SwiftUI 0x1a99b53c0 static App.main() + 171

Hi All, on 02/04 I successfully purchased apple developer program using the appstore. 1 week passed and no confirmation and access yet, the money is taken from my account. doublet the amount ! one from appstore and one from apple developer website. I sent daily mails to apple developer support, no one even thought to answer. any help how to get access to developer program and get refund for the other 100$ apple took? thanks in advance, Nadi

Hello, I attempted to enroll in the Apple Developer Program multiple times due to initial payment errors. My payment was eventually successfully processed and charged, but I have now received a cancellation notice stating that the 7-day period expired based on the first attempt, not the successful one. This appears to be a system timing issue, as the final successful transaction occurred later. I would like to request either: 1. Reactivation of my enrollment without additional payment, or 2. A refund of the charged amount I am currently blocked from continuing development and publishing. Thank you.

Hi, I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program using the Apple Developer app on my iPhone, but I’m facing a persistent issue. After clicking “Enroll,” the screen keeps loading for about 1–2 minutes and then shows the error: “Cannot Connect – You must be connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular data network.” However, my internet connection is working perfectly: I am able to browse websites and use apps normally I have tested both Wi-Fi and mobile data I am currently signed in with my Apple ID Two-factor authentication is enabled and working correctly What I have already tried: Switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data Restarting the device Signing out and signing back into Apple ID Ensuring no VPN or custom DNS is active Despite this, the issue persists. Is this a known issue with Apple Developer enrollment services, or is there something specific I need to check on my account or device? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I’m seeing unexpected execution behavior on macOS where a script invoked explicitly through a binary is not being passed to that binary. Example: Code filebot -script /Users//score_engine_v3.groovy Instead of being executed inside FileBot’s ScriptShell environment, macOS sometimes compiles the script as a plain Groovy class, producing errors like: Code No such property: input for class: __script_xxxxx This only happens when macOS bypasses the binary and hands the file to Groovy directly. Questions: Under what conditions would macOS bypass the invoking binary and treat a .groovy file as a Groovy script even when the binary is explicitly specified? Are there known cases where exported environment variables in zsh are not inherited by child processes launched by certain binaries? Could extended attributes, quarantine flags, or execution policies cause macOS to treat user‑edited .groovy files differently from newly created ones? Thanks for any insight.
