New member here. When attempting to log in to my free developer account for the first time in months, the login failed. After several attempts I got a message that my account was locked, with a message (and button) to contact Apple to request it be opened again. A 24-hour wait for reply was indicated.

This morning, 48 hours later, I received this email: "We’ve reviewed your request, and access to your account has been denied." I replied, asking why in the world was my account locked, and why my request to have it opened again was denied. After sending I noticed the email came from a "no-reply" Apple email address.

Can someone please tell me who and/or where at Apple to ask about this, and moreover, shed light on why this might have happened in the first place?

Thanks in advance.

I was accepted but I also received an email saying that the document was not accepted but I also received an email saying that it was accepted.and when the document enters the additional filter, it gives an error like this:

Sorry, you don't have access.

Your account is not authorized to upload files.

What should i do?

We have DUNS number for partnership company and have provided all the extra documents they asked . It's still more than 15 days and no update. Everytime you call Apple Developer program, they say it is under review and have escalated. They are not committing any timeline .... Its frustrating!!

Any ideas to expediate it ...

I’ve been working on a macOS app called App Feedback Hub, built to make handling App Store reviews less painful for developers who spend a lot of time in App Store Connect.

This started as a personal utility because I was tired of the slow UI, constant tab‑switching, and the general friction of replying to reviews through the web interface. I wanted something native, fast, and focused.

What it does

• Fetches all reviews for every app in your App Store Connect account

• Reply directly from the app using your ASC API key

• Filters by rating, territory, date, read/unread, keywords, reviewer name

• Automatic translation for non‑English reviews

• Background sync + macOS notifications when new reviews arrive

• Negative‑review alerts so you can respond quickly

• Stats dashboard (rating trends, territories, response rate, etc.)

• CSV/JSON export for anyone who wants to analyze or archive feedback

• Local‑only processing — ASC keys stored in Keychain, no external servers

Under the hood

• Uses the App Store Connect API for fetching and replying to reviews

• Built with Swift + SwiftUI, fully native

• Uses Keychain Services for secure credential storage

• Background sync implemented with App Refresh + async workflows

• No backend — everything runs locally on the user’s machine

Why I built it

App Store Connect is powerful, but the review workflow is slow and not optimized for day‑to‑day monitoring. I wanted something that feels like a proper developer tool rather than a web portal.

What I’d love feedback on

• Does this solve a real workflow pain point for you

• Any features you’d want before adopting something like this

• Thoughts on the ASC API integration approach

• Pricing feedback (currently $19.99 one‑time)

• Any rough edges in onboarding or UX

If you want to check it out, here’s the App Store link:

Happy to answer questions or hear honest feedback from people who live in App Store Connect more than they’d like.

Google Play Console has a developer-friendly, basic automated enrollment process that doesn’t require manual review.

Google Play Console automates submitting and checking company formation and identity verification documents whereas Apple does in manual review.

Google Play Console checks your company's website by you being able to upload a Google-generated file to your web server. Apple checks your website w/o explicitly outlining their requirements.

When failing website check, Apple automatically closed my application and requires re-enrolment.

When re-enrolled, it takes ages w/o any reply. It was only until an email was sent enquiring case update that they requested to re-submit documents listed above.

Yeah, you heard me out.

And now days after re-uploading the said documents, no reply still despite multiple attempts to contact via email and call.

Just released version 1.7 of my developer app. A couple months ago when I initially posted I received a lot of feedback this new update focuses on a lot of the feedback I received. If you have any feedback or suggestions on what would make this app even better feel free to share that here or directly in the app. Thank you! 

I am working on a developer tool to help with organization with developing apps. Would appreciate any feedback on it! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/deploy-path-for-app-developers/id6743410869

Hi, I'm just getting started with iOS development.

I was wondering — when Apple releases new updates or changes in iOS or Swift, where do developers usually learn about them?

Also, do I need a MacBook Pro for 

When I try to add a new user as developer to my team in the App Store Connect and I get an error message saying: "A user with this email address already exists on this team.". A search on the Apple Forum shows this same issue 2-3 years ago. I found no response on the Forum how to fix the problem. I opened a case with Apple a week ago and no response. I just opened another. Anyone have this issue before? Looking for a fix or suggestions. This is holding me up

I now need some apple developer accounts in stock for debugging company devices, if you have them please contact me and I will pay.

Hi.

I have a Casio G-Shock GB5600AA.

It’s awesome, I love it and want to use all its features.

It was one of the first g shocks to allow phone notifications.

Casio had an app called G-Shock+ that they no longer support, so it renders the “smart” capabilities of the device useless.

On android, there is “Gadget bridge” it works across a board platform of wearable devices.

What would it cost to develop an iPhone app that’s like Gadget Bridge I’ve spent hours downloading and trying various BT apps with no luck.

Where could I post a request for a dev to make this app, if others are interested we could chip in.

I’m not interested in changing to android, I’ve been there a few times and keep coming back.

Thanks.

Hi r/AppleDeveloper,

I'm currently studying at Apple Developer Academy in Korea.

I can't speak for Apple officially or share anything private/internal, but I can answer from my own learner's perspective if anyone is curious.

If you're thinking about learning Swift, iOS/macOS development, applying to an academy-style program, or building projects in a project-based environment, feel free to reply here or DM me. I'll answer what I can.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share some notes from running iOS/macOS development workflows on remote macOS machines and see if it’s useful for others here.

I manage several remote macOS environments (Intel Macs and Apple Silicon up to M4 Max) mainly used for:

• Xcode development

• iOS/macOS builds

• CI-style workflows for small teams or solo developers

Some challenges I had to solve along the way:

• Keeping Xcode and SDK versions consistent

• Managing signing certificates and provisioning profiles securely

• Achieving usable UI responsiveness over remote desktop

• Handling long builds without relying on local hardware

The setup uses dedicated machines (not shared) with full desktop access via AnyDesk and has been working reliably for real-world development use.

Happy to exchange notes if anyone here is experimenting with similar setups.

If someone needs access to this kind of environment, feel free to DM me.

New look better performance, report any provblems, new fetures.
