APNS Push Notifications Not Received Despite Valid Certificates
I have referred the provided link Establishing a connection to Apple Push Notification service (APNs). And wanted to highlight that although our APNs certificate is valid until 09 August 2025, we have been unable to send notifications since 22nd April 2025. The error we are encountering is: "java.io.IOException: keystore password was incorrect". After encountering the above APNs exception, we created a new APNs certificate, but unfortunately, we are still facing the same issue. We are receiving the following notification response, but the users are not receiving notifications on the iOS mobile application. Message(Id=1; Token=9C105A434496F9C8E6A47819DAA4C402CF0C231F8219F22AD4FFBD5D0300D832; Payload={"aps":{"alert":{"title":"Message from : ta785","body":"Sender Contact Number : 2341561726\nMessage : test"},"sound":"default"}}) We suspect this issue may be related to recent changes in the APNs certificate authority, specifically the transition to the USERTrust RSA Certification Authority. Given that we are still using a valid APNs certificate, we are unsure whether this transition has impacted our configuration or caused the issue. Could you please guide us or provide support to troubleshoot this error? Any assistance in resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated.

How to Complete the Apple Developer Program Enrollment
How to Complete the Apple Developer Program Enrollment I want to register an Apple Developer account. I've communicated many times with Apple technical Advisors via email but haven't received effective solutions. The most recent reply was: "经核实,我们已经将你的请求升级到相关运营团队,如果有进一步的消息,我们会尽快通知你。" Here's the English translation: "After verification, we have escalated your request to the relevant operations team. If there are any updates, we will notify you as soon as possible." Almost every time I get the same response, but there's been no progress. Could other developers in the forum give me some advice? How should I communicate to successfully complete the registration? Additional background information: I previously submitted my documents and passed the review, but encountered issues at the payment stage when using a credit card. I asked the advisor whether alternative payment methods were possible if I couldn't use a credit card—I just wanted to understand the options. However, my application was directly revoked and switched to applying via the mobile app, forcing me to restart the entire process. Now, I'm stuck because the mobile app keeps reporting errors. I hope to switch back to the web application instead. Currently, the web application portal remains unavailable. If any Apple technical advisors see this, please help address my issue. My case ID is 102573639542. Thank you.

Apple Developer Account Closed Shortly After Enrollment
Hi everyone, I created a new Apple account for a university project and enrolled in the Apple Developer Program with this new account. I paid for the enrollment using my personal account's payment method. However, a few hours later, Apple closed the newly created account. When I contacted Apple Support, they informed me that they won't reopen the account and also don't refund the enrollment fee. So now I'm stuck with a paid and unsued Developer Program enrollment for an account I can no longer access. Is there any way to transfer the Developer Program enrollment to another Apple Account (either a new one or my personal account)? Has anyone faced a similar situation and found a solution? This is especially frustrating as the enrollment was for educational purposes, and I'm now out the enrollment fee with nothing to show for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Oliver

Unable to use API key to create new app in CI
Hi, We run an app house where we're creating a new app through our store for clients every few weeks. We've been using the Apple ID login through fastlane to create new apps in our CI, however we find having to log in to multiple machines every few weeks very frustrating, as it requires 2fa, and always seems to happen right when the system admins are on leave. We've tried to use the API key instead however creating apps doesn't appear to be supported, as we get a 403 error stating we can't use create. This was with the App manager role. Is it at all possible to crate an app using the api key, turn off the timeout on the ID Login or, automate this so we don't need to log in every few weeks?

Lost All Developer Permissions After App Notarization, No Notice, No Support — Desperately Need Help
Hi Apple Developer Support Team and Community, We are the developer of a VPN app with over 100,000 users. Recently, after submitting a macOS app for notarization, we suddenly lost all developer privileges. All our Developer Certificates were revoked without any notification. However, our app is still live on the App Store and available for download and purchase. The problem is: since all certificates were revoked, we are now completely unable to push any updates. In the Developer Portal, it shows: “Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership.” But clearly, in App Store Connect, I am listed as the Account Holder. I have called Apple Developer Support multiple times. Every advisor I spoke with told me: “You are not the Account Holder.” Excuse me? If I am not the Account Holder, then who is?? I have also submitted nearly 1,000 support tickets via email — no reply at all. This is devastating to our business, and no one is giving me any clear explanation of: • What exactly happened? • What did we do wrong? • Why were all certificates revoked without any warning? • Why are we trapped in this limbo where the system thinks we have a membership but we have no permissions? Can someone — anyone — from Apple please seriously look into this case and tell me what is going on? We are stuck, losing users’ trust, and completely helpless right now. Please, this needs urgent escalation. Thank you.

Frustrated - enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed
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 ?

I have mistakenly submitted the enroll two times, via the web
Hei everyone. As the title says, I have submitted the enrollment for the developer program two times, by mistake. I did it once, two days ago, I have received the order aknowledgement and that was it. However, today I have logged in the dev account on the web, and I saw this : To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process. I was like, oh, finally. let me finish the enrollment. but in reality, I have applied again, and received the same order aknowledgment. How bad in trouble I am, or how bad did I messed up? And more importantly, what happens now? I mention that no money charge has been issued from my card on neither of the attempts. Thank you, Best regards, Gabriel.

Problem with building on EAS.
Hello I have been developing an app that I want to deploy on the App Store through EAS cloud. My boss had purchased the apple developer account and invited me to a development team and I signed in with the same credentials. But when I try eas build and then select IOS as the platform I am getting this error shown in the image. Does this mean I have to purchase an apple developer account? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Locked Company Developer Account – Immediate Assistance Required
I am the sole administrator of a paid company Apple Developer account, and as of today I’m completely locked out everywhere: I cannot sign in to App Store Connect, developer.apple.com, or even account.apple.com. Every login attempt returns either “Please verify your account information and try again” or “This account is locked and can’t be used.” I have never changed my password, Two-Factor Authentication is enabled and delivering codes, there are no pending agreements or banking/tax forms, and I see no unrecognized devices in my account. I’ve tried multiple networks, browsers, and devices, and I’ve already contacted Apple Support—yet no explanation or resolution has been provided. This total lockout is preventing our app submissions from moving forward and putting our entire release schedule at risk. I need: A clear, specific reason why my corporate Developer account has been locked. Any immediate steps or known workarounds to restore full access. Advice from anyone who has faced the same unexplained lockout.

Terminated Without Explanation – No Contact Options Left
Hello, I represent a registered business operating under a developer account that has always followed Apple’s guidelines, complied fully with review requests, and submitted documentation whenever asked. We have never knowingly violated any policy, and we categorically deny any dishonest or fraudulent behavior. Last week, our developer account was suddenly terminated without any prior warning or opportunity to address concerns. The message provided no specific reason, no actionable details, and no path to resolution. This has left us completely locked out — unable to appeal through standard channels, and unable to contact anyone directly. It’s shocking, disorienting, and devastating to a legitimate business with employees, users, and operations depending on this platform. To make matters worse, this is not the first time. A previous termination notice was sent weeks ago and then — after we submitted a respectful and professional appeal — Apple quietly reversed the decision overnight, without any explanation or follow-up. We were left to assume it was a mistake. We had hoped that incident was rare and behind us. Now it’s happening again, without explanation, and without a human conversation. We are losing money and users every day, and we’re still in the dark about what Apple believes we did wrong — because no one has told us. We submitted a support ticket (ID: 102590329012), but have received no reply. We are committed to transparency, and we’re ready to provide any information needed. But we need someone to acknowledge this issue and help us find a path forward. If anyone has experienced something similar or knows of escalation methods that worked, please share. We’re doing everything we can to resolve this respectfully — but we are shocked and deeply concerned. Thank you.

Ongoing Issue with Apple Developer Program Enrollment
Hello, I am attempting to enroll in the Apple Developer Program and have already added $100 to my Apple account. However, every time I try to proceed with the enrollment, I encounter an error. I have reached out to Apple Support multiple times, but the issue remains unresolved. Each time, the case is escalated to a senior representative, yet no clear solution has been provided. It feels as though the issue is being passed back and forth without accountability. Furthermore, I’m receiving conflicting guidance—Apple.com refers me to developer.apple.com, and vice versa—leaving me stuck without a resolution. I would appreciate your urgent assistance in identifying and resolving this issue so I can complete my enrollment. Best regards, Gulf Now

“Too many verification codes sent” error – 2FA SMS never arrives on standard login
Hello everyone, I’m running into an issue when logging into my Apple Developer account on the official site. After entering my Apple ID and password, I immediately see: too many verification codes sent At this point I should receive a 6-digit 2FA code via SMS to my trusted phone number, but nothing ever arrives. I’ve waited from one to seven days and tried again, but I still get the same error and still no SMS. I’ve double-checked that: My trusted phone number is correct in my Apple ID settings. My carrier isn’t blocking or rate-limiting SMS messages. Steps to reproduce: Go to developer.apple.com and click “Sign In.” Enter Apple ID and password. Submit credentials → immediately see “too many verification codes sent.” No SMS arrives. Retrying doesn’t help. Expected behavior: Apple sends a new 6-digit 2FA SMS to my trusted number. After entering it, I can complete the login flow. Actual behavior: I receive the “too many verification codes sent” message instantly. I never get the SMS code, even after waiting or retrying. Has anyone else experienced this on the standard Developer portal? Is there a way to clear the “too many verification codes sent” flag or otherwise force delivery of the 2FA SMS? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
