Been working hard to get this App online. All the infrastructure (backend etc.) is in place, but now it is all falling apart because of this.
My App will greatly improve knowledge sharing in an entertaining way and will be really helpful in the current times.
If anybody with contacts to Apple can help, it would be really appreciated.
Also, I'm a bit skeptical how you aren't enrolled already. Apple doesn't make it easy to develop and run apps on hardware until you're enrolled. They require certs + provisions tied to the registered AppID to run any apps on hardware. But it's also been awhile since I've developed without a developer enrolled AppleID.
Have you had a developer account before that you might have forgotten about and that might use the same Apple ID? Can you create a new ID? (I don’t remember if you need an Apple ID.)
Have you moved to another country? For example, is the Apple ID registered in country A and you’re trying to enroll in country B? Can you create a new ID in country B?
Does your payment method work? Last September, I noticed that the online Apple Store in Germany follows the new process in the EU when paying with credit cards online. That is, you have to enable your card to allow online payments. Other businesses still use the old method where you only need the three-digit number on the back of the card. Check with your bank or credit card company and enable online payments. It is not enabled by default. Call the phone number printed on the card and they walk you through the process.
Do you have to supply tax information so that proceeds from the sale of your app can be reported correctly? Are you missing documents, tax IDs, W8-BEN (tax treaty benefits, needed for US tax purposes when you’re a citizen of another country), or similar documents? I haven’t done this myself. I don’t know if you need all this. Just throwing it out there.
