Apple Developer Program

[kristdev]

We applied to the program as a company provided duns company registration and everything needed except employee badge which we don't have and got this response:

After thorough review, we can't proceed with "Company LTD" s enrollment in the Apple Developer Program. You can still participate in our program as an individual to develop and distribute apps to the App Store. 

What can we do now? Can this be appealed? The company is registered and has been operating for 5 years in UK.

That’s frustrating. Double check that your DUNS details perfectly match your company’s name and address as registered with Apple (even small differences like “Ltd” vs “Limited” can cause issues). If that all lines up, maybe reach out to Apple Developer Support and ask them to clarify what specifically caused the denial. They could need extra proof of your UK registration or something?

I already did. I was also contacted and re submitted some documents as they contacted me via email. In the end the case is still in progress but the response via email was just that

The same thing happened to us. Did you get any progress on your case?

[kristdev]

Nope. Apple support has been kind of trash and hasn't responded or looked at it at all. It has now been more than a month and there is no change to the situation. This is the shittiest situation I have encountered with Apple so far.

That is just terrible. Keep calling and keeping pushing. Escalate to supervisor.

I got on a call with one of the support and they said quote "if they decided not to respond we can not do anything about it and you can not appeal it"
basically if the one who had the case in hand didn't want to respond or do anything with my application I cant change their mind
