I'm not able to download the p8 Private Key
I'm not able to download my Private key since Yesterday and I get the following error message when I click on "Download" Auth Key can only be downloaded once. This auth key has already been downloaded. I revoked all my existing keys and created new ones and I get the same error message. I tried all the mentioned solutions on this forum and StackOverflow like using Safari,turning off VPNs,removing spaces from Key name, using my iPhone, using a Mac, incognito/private mode on Windows Microsoft Edge, clicking done then pressing download after, right clicking on download Linked File as...nothing seems to work

"Unknown Error" - Please try again
Hello Team I tried to enroll using the Apple Developer app on both my Mac and my iPhone and I keep getting the "Unknown error" please try again popup. I'm on the latest macOS and iOS version, have everything in line to the requirements, but nothing seems to be working. Can someone guide me if there's something I've not done right?

Apple Developer Enrollment Pending
I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on February 3, 2026. The payment was completed successfully at the time of enrollment, but my membership status has remained “Pending” since then. So far: No request for additional documents or identity verification No phone call from Apple No follow-up email other than the payment confirmation Apple Developer Support has been contacted, but no response yet I understand that verification can take some time, but the complete lack of communication is concerning, especially since this is blocking active development and release planning. If this is a known backlog or system-wide delay, some transparency from Apple would help. I’d also appreciate hearing whether others who enrolled in early February are seeing the same prolonged “Pending” state. Thanks in advance to anyone who can share recent experiences or escalation paths.

Switch from Individual to Organization Membership
Hi there, How long does it take to make a switch from Apple individual to organization membership? I initiated the process a 2 weeks ago, and I am get to receive another notification from Apple. Keeps showing We’re processing your membership migration from an individual to an organization. And I am unable to submit an application that requires Organization account.

Nonprofit Enrollment 28 Days in "Processing" After Continuing - UH4UT85YS3
I'm looking for advice or anyone who's experienced similar delays with nonprofit developer account enrollments. Timeline: In mid-September, we had some initial email validation issues during our nonprofit organization enrollment. Senior Advisor Kevin (case 102691832489) resolved those issues and cleared us to continue enrollment on September 16-17. We continued immediately on September 17th, and our status changed to "Your enrollment is being processed" with enrollment ID UH4UT85YS3. It's now been 28 days with no status changes, no requests for additional information, and no timeline. Follow-up attempts: I've called support three times (Sept 19, 26, and Oct 7). Each time I was told the application is "with a separate department they can't contact." They created additional cases but couldn't provide any updates or access to the reviewing team. Questions for the community: Is 28 days normal for nonprofit enrollment processing after continuing? Has anyone found a way to get status updates when regular support can't access the reviewing team? Is there a specific escalation path for nonprofit accounts that differs from standard enrollments? We're a 501(c)(3) church launching an app for a capital campaign, so the delay is starting to impact our timeline. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Details: Enrollment ID: UH4UT85YS3 Organization Type: Nonprofit 501(c)(3) Continued enrollment: Sept 17, 2025 Current status: "Your enrollment is being processed" Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Will special entitlements like Screentime API remain valid when transferring an app?
Certain entitlements require special permission from Apple like DriverKit or Screentime API/Family controls. Those entitlements are tied to the bundle IDs of the app. If those entitlements have been granted for an app from developer A (personal account) and we transfer that app to developer B (organization account), including the bundle IDs, will those bundle IDs keep the entitlement? Or will we need to re-request from the developer account B? Any insights or experiences regarding this process would be greatly appreciated.

It takes a long time to create a developer account as a company.
We registered as a developer company (NGO) more than 50 days ago and it's still under review. We've already sent the documents, we've confirmed by phone, and every time we contact them we receive no information. They just tell us it's under review and there's no deadline for when this review will be completed. On the same day we registered with Apple, we registered with Google and our app has been published on Google for more than 30 days. We have no support or answers. Could someone help us to at least know a deadline for this review?

Can't renew, can't update contact info
I originally created my Apple Developer account when I was living in Canada (years ago). Now that I live in the U.S. I want to renew it, but I can't - because it thinks I'm still in Canada. When I go to change my contact information, I get a screen that says: "Unauthorized Your account can’t access this page. There may be certain requirements to view this content. If you’re a member of a developer program, make sure your Account Holder has agreed the latest license agreement." What do I do?

Default Mail App Ad hoc Provisioning Profile Support
Our developer account was granted the com.apple.developer.mail-client by Apple ages ago, which we use for one of our apps. At the time, this entitlement was granted through a special "entitlements" drop-down on the profile creation page. In fact, the entitlement is still available to us in this manner: Unfortunately, applying the entitlement directly to the profile no longer works through the App Store Connect API. Which is a bummer because we periodically use the API to update our development and ad hoc profiles with new UDIDs. I was eventually able to get Apple to migrate the entitlement to a capability that we can instead apply to the app IDs in our account. Great! However, for some reason the "Default Mail App" capability (on the "Edit your App ID Configuration" screen) shows does NOT apply to Ad hoc profiles: Note that "Ad hoc" is missing. This means we still need to update the Ad hoc profile for the app in question manually through the Apple developer portal. This has to be a bug. It makes no sense that this specific capability doesn't apply to Ad hoc profiles. Other capabilities don't have this issue. e.g.: Another strange thing is that on the profile page for the ad hoc profile under "Enabled Capabilities" it shows "Default Mail App" (see screenshot above) but the capability/entitlement is missing from the downloaded profile unless I add it via the drop down menu on the profile page. How do I get Apple to fix this? Multiple support tickets submitted via our developer account have gone unanswered. (It took months just to get the entitlement partially migrated in the first place.)
