Ask HN: Apple Developer Enterprise Program renewals not being processed in time?

[repox]

Are anyone else experiencing issues with Apple Developer Enterprise Program renewals not being processed in time?

This morning we opened up roughly ~400 stores with iPad POS apps that couldn't be started nor updated due to a delay in the processing of renewals for Apple Developer Enterprise Program. We have a external partner who is caught in the same sitation.

We've been in contact with Apple who tells us that they will give us an update latest next week.

Are we just unlucky or is this a bigger issue than I think?

No, happens every year to us.

Seems like they revoke the developer certificate before they process the renewal.

Last time it happened, supposedly the developer certificate expired in ~2026 but bam! As soon as the renewal date came, all the apps stoped working.

Very annoying as I had just deployed updates a week or so before to “try” and avoid that happening.
