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.

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.

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.

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.

Have tried to join the developer programme and says its still pending after 3 days. Anyone any idea how long the procedure takes??

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.

Please help! Apple Support Support is MIA Every app that I have in TestFlight returns with this message, I have attempted to contact developer account support that they have not returned any messages. It’s been over a week. “The requested app is not available or doesn't exist”

Hi, I tried to apply Enroll in Apple Developer Program in the mobile app and I got this error: "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program is under review. Please contact us." Then I did contact Apple by phone as the error message says. I got the response as: "For one or more reasons, your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed. We are unable to continue with your enrollment at this time." I am already shocked - so I asked what can I do? Answer - nothing. Is this normal to not get a response what's the reason that is blocking me to enroll the program ?

Hi everyone and @Apple Developer Support, I purchased the Apple Developer Program on April 1st, 2026. My payment was successfully charged and I received the official Apple Store invoice. However, my account is still showing as Pending and I have not been granted developer access. Here are my transaction details: Web Order Number: D009564882 Invoice Number: MC62041372 Sales Order Number: AEV3684994 Invoice Date: 2026-04-01 Amount Paid: $99.00 Region: Peru What I have already verified: Two-Factor Authentication is enabled on my Apple ID I am using the same Apple ID that was used for the purchase There are no pending agreements in the Developer Portal or App Store Connect I have not made any duplicate payments It has now been over a week with no activation and no response from Apple Support. This is blocking active app development. Could anyone from the Apple team please review and manually activate my enrollment? Any guidance from the community is also appreciated. Thank you.

Does apple responds to to emails? Im not getting any answer why my account not approved

Hello. My developer membership is expired. I cannot renew because the renewal option/button does not appears in any device. A banner tells me: "Any apps you had on the App Store are no longer available for download and you can no longer access membership benefits. If you’d like to renew your membership to reinstate your apps and membership benefits, open the Apple Developer app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Sign in to your account, tap/click Renew, and follow the prompts.If you agreed to the Paid Applications Agreement, you’ll need to agree to it again after renewal in the Agreements, Tax and Banking section of App Store Connect." However, there's no "Renew" to tap or click anywhere in the app nor in the web. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

This is my first time signing up with apple developer account as a solo creator. I've already paid for the enrollment and received an email notification for the order. However, my account is in pending status. I'm in the US by the way. Wondering if this is normal?

Hola, compre el 25 de marzo la membresía de desarrollador, pero aun mi cuenta sale pendiente, no subo datos de empresa ya que soy freelance. Cuanto podría tardar la aprobación de la cuenta. Ya mande dos ticket a soporte pero nada responden

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?

I have accepted the new agreement, and its been over 1 hour and when i am trying to connect through VS 2022 - I keep getting this error message Please sign in to Apple developer account to review the agreement. Im just going round in circles, whats up with this?

I paid the $99 / year apple development program fee, got the confirmation email from Apple and the completed charge email from my credit card company and now I see this: Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process. I have read other posts that some people are waiting 20 days ???!!!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice or assistance regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I completed my purchase and paid the $99 fee back on March 5th. Today is March 23rd, and my account is still not activated. It has been 18 days of total silence. I have already sent multiple follow-up emails to Apple Support, but I haven't received a single response. My payment was successfully processed, but I haven't received any confirmation or activation emails since then. Here are my transaction details: Invoice Number: MC55225030 Web Order Number: D009495884 Sales Order Number: AEU2369279 Has anyone else experienced such a long delay recently? Is there any other way to escalate this issue besides the standard contact form? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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.

Hello, I have purchased the APPLE DEVELOPER PROGRAM and it also charged my account and sent an email of the receipt. However, it has been a week I haven't received any confirmation or activation email, and in the account dashboard it says pending. I am now frustrated with the apple support too as I have sent a ticket 3 days ago and still nothing. Didn't expect this level of unresponsiveness from Apple. Is it normal or what? What am i supposed to do now? Please help

Hello, We are currently experiencing a serious issue with our Apple Developer Program membership. Our membership has expired, but there is no option to renew the membership anywhere: Not on the Apple Developer website Not in the Apple Developer app Attempting to start enrollment again redirects to the main page Account details: Team ID: RZR56J4QQ8 Organization: E. V. I. ELECTRIC CARS LTD Role: Account Holder Because of this issue: All App Store agreements show as expired Our app has been removed from the App Store We are currently unable to restore service to users We already opened a Developer Support ticket about a week ago, but have not received any response. This is causing business impact, and we cannot find any way to trigger the renewal flow. Has anyone experienced this issue before, where the Renew Membership button does not appear at all? If anyone from Apple Developer Support / Apple Staff is able to assist or escalate this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
