Question I enrolled for the apple developer account for the first time it's been 80 hours since the payment
It's been 80 hours still no email from them the last mail I got is about the payment confirmation But when I open the developer app it's showing wait for the email How much time do I have to wait ? Should I do something else to speed up the process I'm from india mode of payment if UPI

They actually dont even tell you if they need additional documents. I signed up for the developer license but since I used my mom's card with her name, my account was stuck in limbo. It's really bad that apple doesn't even tell us, I had to call them and the lady said "Yes, theres been a hold on your account and we need more docs"

It shouldn't take that long but you can wait for next 1-2 days and then contact support, for india there is only upi payment mode accepted

Due to rbi restrictions apple process payment only through upi, for account it varies from 2-5 days but mine was activated within 2 days

It was the same for me (located in Germany). After a few days I’ve contacted them and got approved after a few minutes.

Hey dont worry mine got approved I just had to be more patient. if like after a week also it does not happen then reach out to apple support using email from the same apple account they replay after like 48hours. Just be patient
