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?

Currently I get signed out of the Apple Developer Forums whenever I close my browser. It would be nice to have an option to be able to stay signed in for longer. FB22441056 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/790

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.

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.

There's a regression in Xcode 26.x (26.0 ... 26.5 beta) where xcodebuild is not able to download platforms when it is behind proxy. $ env | grep PROXY HTTP_PROXY=.....

Xcode 26.x GUI is able to download from behind proxy though. The last known Xcode which used to be able to download platforms from behind a proxy was Xcode 16.4. $ xcodebuild -version Xcode 16.4 Build version 16F6 $ xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 23E244 -exportPath ./test Downloading iOS 26.4 Simulator (23E244): 0.0% (66 kB of 10.6 GB) The relevant feedback ID: FB22125784

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.

The assets in the Asset.xcasset lesser than the asset in the Assets.car file. Because of this the iPA file size increased three times as Assets.car file inside the iPA increased. Why do the asset file size increased enormously. How do we prevent this ? I used Version 26.2 (17C52).

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.

Hello there everyone. I've got numerous support projects using old school development. Things from Objective-C to RxSwift and UIKit. I've tried the LLM/Agents and they just destroy the codebase over time, so I have given up. The final straw was trying to get it to fix a POSTCODE validation issue which was using some novel ways to provide validation in place using RxSwift. Has anyone had any luck with these LLMs on Legacy codebases? Would love to hear tips.

Setup: macOS 26.4 Xcode 26.4 Claude premium subscription Claude account logged in Xcode settings The issue usually surfaces after initially setting up Claude integration in Xcode and then leaving Xcode open for at least a day or so. The integration works initially (right after logging in). But then after some time it starts responding with this error. Failed to authenticate. API Error: 401 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"authentication_error","message":"OAuth token has expired. Please obtain a new token or refresh your existing token."},"request_id":"req_011Ya....."} Restarting Xcode does not help. The only thing that helps is log out from Claude account and log back in. Sounds like the token refresh logic is broken or missing. Please improve moving forward.

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?

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 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 ???!!!

Watch has latest watchOS 10.6.2. Xcode tries to connect and fails. I insured that both the Mac and the watch are using the same WiFi network (2.4) - and the mac has no other network interface. I have successfully paired to my iPhone and iPad. I quit and restarted Xcode. I close and reopen the "Devices and Simulators" window (to get it to retry). I restarted my watch. The watch is at 98% battery level. Suggestions? [Or do I need to purchase a new watch?]

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.

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?

Hello, I am experiencing a critical blocking issue developing a watchOS app. While the iPhone 15 Pro Max is fully "Connected" via USB (confirmed green light in Network Settings), the Apple Watch Series 7 (watchOS 11.2) remains unreachable by Xcode. Mac: Mac Mini (macOS 15/16). Devices: iPhone 15 Pro Max (iOS 18+), Apple Watch Series 7 (watchOS 11.2). Xcode: 16.4 / Build 26.4. Hardware: Direct USB-C connection (USB 2.0 480Mb/s protocol). Technical Evidence of Protocol Failure: Missing Staging Folders: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/watchOS DeviceSupport does not exist, implying the handshake fails before symbol stripping/sync begins. CoreDevice Error: Consistently receiving: "Previous preparation error: A connection to this device could not be established.; Timed out while attempting to establish tunnel using negotiated network parameters." Missing Keychain Entries: No com.apple.coredevice keys found in Keychain Access, suggesting the Trusted Host handshake is incomplete. mDNS/Discovery: xcrun devicectl list devices shows the iPhone as connected but the Watch as available (paired). Steps Taken (Zero Success): Wiped ~/Library/Developer/CoreDevice and killed remoted. Disabled "Location Simulation" in Scheme Options. Reset "Location & Privacy" on iPhone; trusted Mac on both devices. Disabled Wi-Fi on all 3 devices to force Bluetooth/Wired relay. Performed "Offload App" on the iOS Watch app to reset the daemon. The "Developer Mode" toggle is missing from the Watch's Privacy & Security menu and refuses to reappear despite successful iPhone-to-Mac connectivity. Logs: I have a full sysdiagnose (300MB) ready. (Feedback ID: FB22425709). Does anyone know a specific defaults write command to force-trigger the watchOS CoreDevice tunnel or a way to manually inject the Developer Mode profile?

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
