I've never used the services of the apple store before. This is my first time uploading and now I'm confused. Am I in a suspended state or is it a normal state and is it related that I have hired another website to upload my app and do some code work for it? What should I do next? Could you please tell me in a way that is easier to understand? I'm a bit confused And now I'm so shocked that it's my account suspended or something. And why is it still in check status back to being in state?

Today, I received a notification that my Apple Developer account has been flagged for removal. I have tried to explain my situation through Apple Developer Support, but I have not received any response. What steps should I take? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello, I require assistance urgently. My Apple Developer membership has expired and I am unable to renew it. Upon logging in to the Developer website, I was directed to use the Developer app to renew the membership. However, I cannot locate the renew button on the app. I have attempted to log in and out multiple times, as well as signing in from other devices, but to no avail. This situation is highly frustrating, and I feel let down by Apple's poor service.

I am from Kazakhstan. I want open developer account but system write error: Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time. Has anyone been able to solve this problem?

My primary Apple ID is associated with an Apple developer account. I started a new company new partners and I need to create a new developer account for the new legal entity. However, when I try to create a new Apple ID, I am being asked to use it on my Mac, and thereby lose all of the data and services associated with my primary Mac ID. How do I create a new Apple Developer Account, and associated Apple ID, without having to switch to the new Apple ID on my Mac? Thanks geniuses!

Hi :) Currently, I am developing Apple login. First of all, thanks to the official document you provided, we are proceeding with the development easily. We are in the process of verifying the identity token of the logged-in user. We would like to proceed with the process of saving (member registration) in our DB using the email that can be obtained from the token that has been verified. After signing up as a member, I want to create my own refresh token and maintain my login, so should I do the Generate and validate token, revoke token course? Is there any disadvantage? If the user disconnects Apple, we will delete the data from our DB.

Hey Everyone, I just paid for my dev account subscription renewal and it said unsuccessful, but I can see I have been charged £79 from my bank. I contacted support and they couldn't help and scheduled a call and the advisor said to send an email but that takes 2 business days. I don't want to lose my subscription, has anyone had this problem and how did you resolve it. Thanks

Hello. In order to respect the anonymity of the users of my web platform (by storing as little private data as possible in the database) I would like to know if OSx like its competitor Android proposes to use the internal security of the device (linked to a personal account - Apple or Android ID) to authenticate a user by requiring only his personal ID (or generated by the OS and intended for all browsers) for a double authentication and thus at the click of a button on the website send a text message on the phone (or all devices connected to the same account) to confirm to be the same person who accesses his personal account. using the same functionality as : . e.g. which would call the OS dual authentication system and ask the device (phone or tablet) to display a request for authentication confirmation either by simply clicking a button or by filling in a 6 digit code. Is it possible and does that exist ?

How long can I get paid and activate my membership?

This may be a bit high level, but wanted some clarification as I can't be sure from reading the documentation. I am considering adding paid subscriptions into my app at some point in the future. Initially, though, I would like the app to simply be free to use. Even though I won't be charging subscriptions right away, would it make sense to implement the mechanics for subscriptions into the app right away for each user (and simply have the subscription be $0/month, for example)? Or will it be easy enough in the future to add the option for a paid subscription and integrate it seamlessly with existing users? To provide some additional context, I don't want to implement any sort of custom account creation / registration logic into my app (i.e. like on a social media where each user creates a username and password) - I would simply like to be able to utilize Apple's logic for Apple IDs and such to eventually handle payments and subscriptions. Is this something I should reconsider?

Can I change the Entity name? If 1 was YES, how can I change it? Thanks.

I as well as a few other coworkers have tried to enroll this account (company) to be an apple developer with no luck. Unluckily, on our first attempt, when Apple called to confirm our details our receptionist hung up thinking it was a robo call. We have tried to enroll 3 times now. No email response after weeks of waiting... And Emails are sent to us with the wrong names... they say "Hello Levine" where no one in our office has this name. Any help would be much appreciated.

I bought yesterday Apple Developer Program and I received email about purchase was successfully finished! BUT! In my account I can't use apple developer features, I still see "Purchase order"

I would like to add Sign In with Apple on my website but currently I see no option besides creating an Apple Developer account and paying 99$/year. For me this is not convenient because: I am not going to make any usage of the developer account for publishing any apps to the App Store or download and use XCode. Any other external logins such as Google or Facebook are completely free. Is there any way to create a "web only" app for free?

I'm logged in with my organisation's apple developer account. I invited multiple team members in my organisation including myself to join Apple Developer Team, unfortunately no one received the invite. I tried with my personal apple id, there I received the invite. Only organisation email id's are having this problem.

Hello, I added my son (15) as a developer to my team. He got an invite and accepted that and now is shown in my team... So far so good. But he can't sign in to his developer account, it always say: "Sorry, ...". And with that he can't install iOS 17 on his Phone to help testing our new App Updates... I think, he needs to accept some agreements after login, but they are not shown... How can I fix that? Thanks, Stefan

I have an app that currently does not use in-app account deletion which I have been told I need to add in to deploy on the App Store. I intend to introduce a button on the account section of my app that says "delete account". When clicking this button the app will open an in-app browser which will navigate the user to a pre-filled form asking them to confirm that they would like to delete their account. I want to know if this pass a review? Apple's developer guidelines are unclear around the use of in-app browsers for the purposes of account deletion.
