How long it takes to get Apple Developer Account?

I enrolled an Apple Developer Account since yesterday and it still pending. I wonder how long it takes to get approve from Apple? Please share your experience.

And enroll message this :

Help me

Thank you

waiting since 4 days, from switzerland...

did the subscription 3 days ago. money hasnt been deducted off card yet. Uganda...

Apple's lack of interest in developers is impressive, from the Dominican Republic we are the same, 3 weeks and they do not approve the account. Apple needs to improve their support, it's currently bad

Is more than two weeks now I have the same case as yours... Purchase went through immediately over web app... but, It still gives me option to purchase a program. please could here tell me how to solve this issue and how long did it take?

also my Martercard is stiil not yet charge for the purchase

Thanks in advace!

For us here in India, it's been 6 days yet no update neither any email. It just says "Your enrollment is being processed. Your enrollment ID is XXXXYYYZZZZ". Very disappointing!

I'm in US and it's slow, so it's not even just international thing. It used to be faster years ago, Not suer what happened to apples quality in recent years

I enrolled on June 26th, 2024(Thursday), and 4 days later(30th - Sunday) the status of my enrollment didn't change(Pending), I tried to reach out to Apple through Email and still no response, I will try to CALL Apple support On Monday as i heard it's more reponsive.

I just got to know it actually means unto 2 business days. So if you have applied on Friday then exclude Saturday and Sunday. The process is slow...

Same for me. I am waiting for more then 1 week to get an approval. They didnt charge my card but also dont provide any updates

Did they approve?? I enrolled last week but they didn’t deduct any $$ from my end.. but they sent an email that’s saying my order will be processed after 2 business days and yet got no response yet

Mine is rolling into the 7th month now and still pending.

Here's the brief story of the greatest frustration of my life. I applied to the apple developer programme on march 2024, then proceeded to submit all my corporate information as required. An advisor also called me for follow up and everything was approved adequately and I was told to pay $99, so on 2nd April 2024, I paid my $99

To my surprise, all the information that was approved was asked again under the 'business' menu which I supplied again so that I can accept paid app agreement, but this time, my submitted information was 'pending' for months.

I sent almost 100 emails and calls, but I only got responded once a week.and the response was always that I should be patient that my information was being verified.this is sad because my subscription was already burning meanwhile the same info was earlier approved during enrollment.

Do note that without the approval, I can't sign paid app agreement and that means my apps all have to be free.

At around my 100th email, my corporate information was approved on 27th August 2024.

At last, I was sad and glad and I rushed to my bank to get my banking information so as not to have issues with that. I submitted my banking info immediately, buy sadly till this moment 20th of October, it is also 'pending'.

I have resumed contacting them but only get replied once a week with statement that I should be patient for my banking info to be verified.

I still can't release paid app agreement because my information was said to still being verified since 2 April. That $99 was a lot to me.but they collected it and waste away my enrollment period while leaving me and my business to rot.

2 April 2024 - 20th Oct 2024, I have gone from one frustration to another.

I belief my case is rare. At this moment,I am sad and I have already given up on the case because I have sent more than 20mails already and also called (they claim dev. Programme support can only be contacted by mail)

They ruined my business and proved to me I don't worth anything. If I have money,I would sue them,but God knows I can't afford that.

Currently seeking another $99 to make another enrollment,this time,I will enroll as individual and not corporate (even though my business is valid without a single blemish)

It's a sad experience for me that hasn't been resolved.
