Apple Developer account terminated
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

Paid for Apple Developer Program but Account Still Pending After 2 Weeks (No Response from Support)
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.

Enrollment cancelled after successful payment – charged but account inactive
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.

Unable to enroll in Apple Developer Program – “Cannot Connect” error despite active internet
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.

macOS Terminal: Script invoked via binary sometimes runs as Groovy instead of through the binary
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.

Program enrolled but charged twice
Subscribed the Apple Developer program and paid $100 but it showed i was not enrolled. I was prompted to enrollment process and paid another $100 for Apple Developer program 1 year. Now I am enrolled but I got double charged. I cancelled the subscription but it didn't refund. I created cases with 3 emails escalation and 2 phone supports. The support guy cannot fix it and said only senior support can fix. But that senior guy never called me back or reached me out. This is a flawed onboarding process. Like why this developer program allows subscription when developer is not enrolled yet. Also I cannot see the enrollment payment from Apple Store. From there only subscription payment was included. I had to navigate to list order page for enrollment payment detail. There are both program charges but seem they are managed by different teams.

Developer Account Subscription - Paid, not active
Hi, Like many others here, I applied and paid for an Apple Developer account (April 2). Although I’m certain I used a different account during the process, it appears the payment was linked to an older account that I no longer have access to (specifically, I can’t access the email address associated with it). This means I may have missed any follow-up communication from Apple. Since then, I’ve updated my primary email to one I can access, submitted 3 support tickets, and spoken with Customer Support by phone. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to resolve the issue. I’ve been told they cannot take action, that I need to wait for them to reach out to me, with no clear outcome — no escalation, no refund, and no concrete guidance on next steps. I’ve also seen mentions of a callback option from the Developer Account team, but I haven’t been able to find or access this anywhere. At this point, my account is still Pending, no response to my support tickets (despite a stated 2-business-day response time), and no clarity on how to proceed—while already being charged $100. I understand this has been asked before, but does anyone have suggestions on what I can do next? Thank you.

Enrollment Stuck on Pending Since April 02 - Payment Charged, No Response from Support (Case ID: 102859573520)
Hi, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on April 02 and the $99 payment was successfully charged to my account (Order ID: W1569319180). However, my enrollment has been stuck on "Pending" since then, now 5 day, with no activation and no communication from Apple. What I've already done: Verified Two-Factor Authentication is enabled on my Apple ID. Confirmed no pending agreements in developer portal or App Store Connect. Checked spam/junk folder daily — no emails requesting additional verification Opened support case 102859573520 on April 03 — no response received Current status: Enrollment: Pending App Store Connect: inaccessible Developer portal features: locked This is blocking me from beginning development. I am not able to move forward until this is resolved. Could someone from Apple please review my case and either activate the account or advise on what additional steps are needed? Thank you.

Unexplainable Workflow for Pending Members
Never mind how strange, unscalable, and frusterating the current developer marketing funnel and pipeline is, some details have clear solutions and simply become proxies for so many other painful issues. Nevermind Apples response to AI services, just trying to simply rejoin the developer program after several years has been a real wake-up call. Example: After several years, its unexplainable why an authenticated, loaded page with my data (it knows I'm "pending") tries to get me to re-purchase the same pending membership again to "continue my enrollment". 🤔 Crazy, but I recall actually making this mistake several years ago and needing to phone call just to get a refund for the double charge) -- still exists?

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Stuck for 3+ Weeks — No Response from Support
I have been waiting over 3 weeks for my Apple Developer Program enrollment to be activated. Here is the full timeline: Submitted individual enrollment and completed payment. Enrollment did not activate. Submitted and paid a second time. Contacted Apple Developer Support by email — was promised a response within 2 business days. No response received. Sent a follow-up email after 2 weeks. Requested a phone callback through the support page — no call received. It has now been over 3 weeks with zero communication from Apple. My account still shows enrollment as pending. I have not received any requests for additional documentation or verification. My Apple ID has two-factor authentication enabled, and my legal name matches my ID exactly. I am an individual developer with a completed app ready for App Store submission. This delay is the only thing preventing me from publishing. I am requesting: — Activation of my developer account — A refund for the duplicate payment — Any explanation for the delay If anyone from Apple can review my case or escalate it, I would greatly appreciate it. I have also seen many other developers experiencing the same issue in early 2026. Thank you.

Developer Enrollment
Enrolled as a Developer on April 3rd, paid the $100, it was approved and has come out of my account. It is now April 7th and I still have yet to be approved. Wondering what the next steps are? Most of these threads seem to go dead after a couple of days. I was told posting here helps, can anyone confirm?

Can't access my developer account anymore
I have a bug with Xcode and developer.apple.com, where they both don’t recognise that my Apple ID is part of a development team. My account page at https://developer.apple.com tells me to enrol in the developer programme, whereas before it would show me as having a membership and would let me access profiles and certificates and other stuff.
