We have also been trying since December to pay for our Apple developer program. Its been more than 6months. Our android app was live within 3 days.
We have tried absolutely everything and spend countless hours on calls/emails and so much money trying to resolve this. Apple is useless plain straight forward. If it wasnt for our clients that use Iphone which results in us having no other option but to try and release our app on store, I would never speak to an apple agent or use an apple product again.
Apple is the most useless company on earth that have brainwashed their customers and made life a misery for me. We have lost so much clients and money because of this basic payment issue from apple.
