When I login to my Dev account, I get a banner that says "The updated Apple Developer Program License Agreement needs to be reviewed. In order to update your existing apps and submit new apps to the App Store, the Account Holder must review and accept the updated agreement."


However, when I go to Agreements, Tax, and Banking, I see both Free Apps and Paid Apps agreement, but when I click on View, there's nothing for me to accept. It's a pop-up window with a list of countries and a button at the end that says "Close". And that's it. No other action is possible. No other option either under the Action column.


So then how can I review and accept it?

I get this same message. No links in the message and no apparent way to agree in the Agreements section.

Thank you for reporting this issue. This error often indicates the Program License Agreement has not been agreed to on the developer website. Please ask the Account Holder to review the latest agreement at: https://developer.apple.com/account. If this has already been agreed to or no alert is shown on that page, please let us know.

Thank you for reporting this issue. This error often indicates the

I'm the account holder. I went to the site you noted
(https://developer.apple.com/account), reviewed and agreed to the
agreement in the banner at the top, but the message noted in the OP is
still appearing at the top of App Store Connect for me.

It's fixed now for me. Just now, I was able to go into "Agreements, Tax, and Banking" and accept the agreement.

Having the same issue here. Still not solved for me. As sole user (Admin, Account Holder Role) I get no "View and Agree to Terms" button in Action column or any other possibility to agree.

Solved using a suggestion posted on Stack Overflow just few minutes after my previous reply:

  1. Login to your Apple developer account https://developer.apple.com/account

  2. Click "Review Summary" button on the top, read and accept the updated license agreement

  3. Go back to your App Store Connect, Agreements, Tax and Banking https://appstoreconnect.apple.com

  4. Click

  5. the "View and Agree to Terms" link in Action column, read and accept the updated agreement.

This solved it for me. I had to go first to https://developer.apple.com/ and accept an agreement there. When I came back to the App Store Connect and refreshed it, the agreement now showed Active.

This is still an issue for me as well. Contacted Apple not getting any response. This is bad I have urgent updates to submit.

Having the same issue. There seems to be no button or any way to accept. Wonder why Apple has not fixed this yet?

Hello Apple? Could we devs please get an answer? It's Dec. 2020 and our customers are also upset from us, when we can't work on our accounts. Please!

Hi to everyone,
I was facing the same problem today because I had to accept the new Terms and Agreement of Apple for paid apps.
It may be foolish, but I've just switched browser, I was looking the page on Chrome and it didn't work, so I changed to Edge and it worked.
So maybe try this and it could work.

Hope this will help someone,
cheers.

Same issue, can't release updates because the Account Holder has to accept a new agreement but I am the Account Holder and I have already accepted the new agreement many weeks ago. This seems like a bug in App Store/Apple Developer that you can get stuck on?
