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.

I started developer enrollment a few weeks ago. My enrollment is stuck. I have received emails from Apple reminding me to upload the documents that were requested but I never got the original email that told me what documents were being requested so I don't know what I'm supposed to upload. I went to the developer.apple.com support page to request a Call Me and when I click the button I get a red error message that says: "There was a problem processing your request." so then I go to Send Us a Message and I receive "This email address isn't valid. To update your email address, visit account.apple.com." and, of course, it IS a valid email address and it is the address I have on file. So, then I called Apple Support and asked if they could, at the very least, put in a Call Me request on my behalf but they said they can't. I have replied to the emails asking me for information but received no response or acknowledgement.
The system won't let me request a call and or send a message, Apple support can't even transfer me, I literally have no idea what to do. I need suggestions. Maybe somebody from Apple Developer enrollment will see this message. I can't think of anything else at the moment. Maybe a signal flare? Homing pigeon? Seriously. Help.

Hi everyone,
I'm a developer from China, and my Apple Developer Program membership is currently in the renewal period. When I click the renewal button from the banner at the top of the Apple Developer website, the page redirects but consistently shows a 503 Service Unavailable error. This has been happening for several days now.
I've already tried:
Switching to different devices or
Changing network environments
Unfortunately, the issue persists in all cases.
Has anyone else encountered this same situation? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Problem
I’m trying to implement Sign in with Apple in my application. However, when my app redirects to the Apple authorization page at:
https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize
I get an invalid_client error with no further explanation.
Settings
I followed this article closely:
[https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/06/04/what-the-heck-is-sign-in-with-apple#generate-the-client-secret]
Steps I have completed:
Created an App ID and a Service ID on Apple Developer Portal.
Enabled “Sign in with Apple” for both the App ID and the Service ID.
Added my domain and callback URL to the Service ID configuration. (I'm using ngrok to proxy my localhost during development.)
Linked an existing private key with “Sign in with Apple” capability.
My identifiers:
Service ID is used as client_id
Team ID is taken from the top right of the Apple Developer dashboard
Key ID is from the private key associated with the App
Environment
My backend is built with Laravel, and I'm using the [SocialiteProvider/Apple][https://socialiteproviders.com/Apple/#installation-basic-usage] library to handle the OAuth flow.
I followed the recommended method to generate a client secret (JWT) for each request, using this blog post:
[https://bannister.me/blog/generating-a-client-secret-for-sign-in-with-apple-on-each-request]
My .env configuration looks like this:
APPLE_CLIENT_ID=com.service.paxton.stockApp
APPLE_TEAM_ID=25729642DK
APPLE_KEY_ID=JFP9Q53ZCY
APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY=storage/AppleDev-AuthKey_JFP9Q53ZCY.p8
JWT Generation
I also tested generating the JWT using the Ruby script from the Okta article:
[https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/06/04/what-the-heck-is-sign-in-with-apple#generate-the-client-secret]
Here is the script I used:
require 'jwt'
key_file = './storage/AppleDev-AuthKey_JFP9Q53ZCY.p8'
team_id = '25729642DK'
client_id = 'com.service.paxton.stockObserve'
key_id = 'JFP9Q53ZCY'
ecdsa_key = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.new IO.read key_file
headers = {
'kid' => key_id
}
claims = {
'iss' => team_id,
'iat' => Time.now.to_i,
'exp' => Time.now.to_i + 86400*180,
'aud' => 'https://appleid.apple.com',
'sub' => client_id,
}
token = JWT.encode claims, ecdsa_key, 'ES256', headers
puts token
This JWT validates correctly. I’ve also used Apple’s public key to verify the signature, and it passed.
I verified the JWT header and payload format using this helpful article:
[https://fluffy.es/how-to-solve-invalid_client-error-in-sign-in-with-apple/]
Third-Party Testing
To eliminate mistakes in my setup, I even tried a third-party tool featured in this YouTube video:
[https://youtu.be/8v01TaX1EJA?si=0jOBGBVk0R0zbmdo]
Unfortunately, the result was the same — invalid_client.
Question
I’ve double-checked everything I can think of: keys, claims, domain whitelist, identifiers. I even verified the JWT independently.
If anyone (especially someone from Apple) can help identify the missing piece, I would be truly grateful.
I want to enable developer program but after submitting the enrollment I see:
Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.
How long does the new Apple Developer Program License Agreement take to take effect once you accept it?

Hi,
I have completed the payment for my Apple Developer membership but my order (W1388955794) is still showing as pending.
Could you pls review and confirm the payment.
Thanks
My Apple Developer Program Enrollment has been under review for over 6 weeks, and it is inside of the United States.
Initially, I was informed that the Apple team would review the application and get back to us in 2 business days. However, I have not received any updates or resolutions since that initial communication. I have reached out to Apple Developer Support many times, and they told me that they cannot provide any updates and advised me to "simply wait." This delay is causing significant disruptions to our development timeline and impacting our business operations.
Any idea of what I can do? I would greatly appreciate any insights from the community on how to address this situation effectively. Thank you so much!
Hello ,
I need some help regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment.
I purchased the Developer Program on December 3rd, 2025 at 16:03 (Turkey time).
The payment was successfully processed by my bank, and I also received the official Apple Store receipt email confirming the purchase.
However, my Developer account still shows:
• “Purchase your membership”
• “Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.”
• Enrollment status: Pending
• App Store Connect still not accessible
It has now been more than 5 days, and the enrollment has not been activated.
Here are the details:
• Region: Turkey
• Payment amount: 1029 TRY (local pricing for the Developer Program)
• Payment status: Completed / Posted (not pending)
• Case ID with Apple Support: 102769533427
• I have already opened a support case, but there has been no resolution yet.
I would appreciate any guidance from others who experienced similar issues.
Is this a known delay for Turkey-based accounts, or does it usually require manual activation by Apple Support?
Any suggestions or insights would be very helpful.
Thank you!

Hello,
I am experiencing a critical issue with my Apple Developer Program account. I successfully enrolled months ago, and my subscription is active as per my account details. However, I am now unable to access my developer membership features, and when I sign into my account it
redirects me to the enrollment page as if I had never enrolled.
Key details of the issue:
Active subscription: My Apple Developer Program membership is active and set to renew on 17 October 2025. The subscription page confirms this, and the payment was successfully processed.
REVOKED CERTIFICATES: Certificates I created weeks ago have been revoked without any explanation or notification.
No email notifications: I have not received any communication from Apple regarding issues with my account or certificates.
Attempts to Resolve:
Cleared cookies and cache.
Tried logging in on multiple devices and browsers.
Signed out of all devices and logged back in.
Could someone please assist me in understanding why my account is behaving this way? Is there a specific team or channel I should contact to escalate this issue?
Thank you in advance for your help!

ITMS-90078: Missing potentially required entitlement - Your app, or a library that’s included in your app, uses Apple Push Notification service (APNs) registration APIs, but the APS Environment Entitlement isn’t included in the app signature’s entitlements. If your app uses APNs, make sure the App ID is enabled for push notifications in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, sign the app with a distribution provisioning profile that includes the APS Environment Entitlement, and upload a new build to ensure that push notifications function as intended.

On february 9, I tried to enroll to the developer program, I got charged and received and order number, the next day when I tried to see the status of the enrollment, the order number provided on the email confirming the order was not working, I've tried to get support through email, nothing happens; I've called about 20 times to Apple Support, nothing happens, they said they doesn't have direct communication to the Apple Developer department, I have two weeks plus trying to have an answer on email, and nothing happens, but you know what happened? They completed the charge on my CC.
It has been days I made the payment I have heard nothing from Apple, our deadline is being pushed over and over again we are loosing customers to our competitors.
I have already reached out via the formal support channel but have not received a response beyond the automated acknowledgment.
Hello Apple Developer Support Team,
I completed my Apple Developer Program enrollment directly through the Developer app on my iPhone. The identity verification and payment were successfully processed.
However, when I log in via the web, I still see the message “Complete Your Purchase,” and my enrollment status appears as Pending. The system seems to be asking me to proceed with enrollment again, even though the process was already completed on my iPhone.
Could you please review my account and clarify the current status of my enrollment?
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards
