Can’t enroll because camera doesn’t work

I have a dev acct but can’t pay to upgrade for the same reason everyone else mentioned….the camera autofocus function doesn’t work! It kept uploading a blurry DL and now I can’t even register on the web because my account got locked. I managed to get it unlocked but now it’s too late and I’m stuck in limbo. There is no longer a support phone number due to high call volume 🤦🏼‍♀️ and my support ticket has gone unanswered….AVOID this useless app at all costs! Do better Apple!

Camera won’t focus for id verification

This is hilarious and embarrassing. The in-app camera doesn’t function properly.

Horrível

Não priorizam em criar melhoria ou botão para poder limpar o cachê dos aplicativos instalados sem ter que desinstalar e apagar o app e depois baixar de novo para o mesmo ficar com mais fluidez.
Lançam diversas atualizações beta e não funciona em quase nada. Desinstalei e deixei de colaborar. Por enquanto nota zero 0.

Mahadevan - Not able to Enrol. Keeps poping “Unable to continue, Please contact Developer support.

Developer Support nor the Media and Billing Support team, none were able to solve my issue. They dint even do a RCA to understand why it is not continuing for enrolment. Sad to be dependent on Apple.

Identity Verification Camera Needs Improvement

The app works well overall, but the identity verification process needs improvement. The camera would not focus on my ID, causing verification to fail repeatedly, with no option to upload a clear photo instead. This made Developer Program enrollment unnecessarily frustrating.

ID Verification Camera Won’t Focus

The ID verification process is incredibly frustrating. When trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, the app requires me to photograph my driver’s license, but the camera will not focus when the ID is close enough to properly fill the frame. I have to move my iPhone so far away just to get the license in focus that the app then says it can’t get a good image.

The normal iPhone Camera app has no problem taking a clear, focused picture of my license, so this appears to be an issue with the camera implementation inside the Developer app. There should either be better autofocus/lens switching or an option to upload a photo taken with the regular Camera app. As it stands, I’m unable to complete enrollment because of a camera issue that shouldn’t exist on an iPhone.

Had to wait 2 days just to enroll

I tried to take a picture of my id but had to wait 2 business days because it didn’t read the name right. You should be able to take another picture. Apple you need to fix that.

I don’t drive a car

Can you edit the identification needed to become an Apple developer I don’t drive a car and do not plan too until I’ve made a living - really talented but the talent is being stopped here because I don’t drive a car.

Não consigo fazer upload de documento e consequentemente não consigo criar minha conta

Não consigo criar conta de desenvolvedor pois não consigo fazer upload de documento pois ao centralizar o documento na área desenhada, o documento fica sem foco. Isso só ocorre dentro do app, já testei a câmera de doutras formas e funciona muito bem. Se eu envio foto mais afastada onde não fica com desfoque ela é recusada, ou seja, não consigo criar minha conta

Awful and stupid

There’s no option to renew on the Apple developer site. I’m forced to download this app. But I run a limited company yet this app forces me to subscribe with my default (personal) payment method. I need to enter my business card details! 🤬

KAMERA NETLEMİYOR

Kİmlik doğrularken kamera hiçbir şekilde kimliği odaklamıyor 3 farklı cihazda denedim 14 15 16 Pro larda hepsinde aynı sorun var paramızla rezil oluyoruz rezalet bir uygulama

Broken payment flow

I have been trying to enroll to developer program. Failed payment stuck with error. No help from support. I see lot of people facing the same issue. Yet not solved from Apple is surprisingly disappointing. It’s been 20 days yet no solution, everyday I have been writing mail . Hope they solve it.

Can’t Verify Account

I can’t verify my account as it won’t focus on my ID when scanning/taking picture. I have to move the phone a bit further to take a clear picture but that uploads in error.

Reviewal and support is absolutely awful

They don’t ever come back with the designated times they say, I’ve sat on call support lines trying to get help and it takes hours to not even get through. They don’t reply to emails, almost feels impossible to publish an app and they just take your developer program fee. The support is so slow and absolutely awful. Sort it out Apple!!! If you are going to take longer than you say at least keep the developers informed, there is zero communication! I submitted my app a week ago and have absolutely nothing back.
