## Review summary

Summary: The Apple Developer app shows a mixed signal. Many reviews focus on unreliable ID verification (scanning limitations, cropped photos, rejections) and repeated enrollment/upload errors, plus cross‑device issues and billing delays. A minority report successful enrollment and issue resolution, along with optimism about being listed with Apple. Overall, the enrollment flow and ID capture reliability are the main pain points, with occasional positive outcomes and enthusiasm when fixes arrive.

### Pros

- Some users report that they were able to create a Apple Developer account using the app with no complaints.
- In at least a few cases, issues get resolved (account issues resolved) after contacting support.
- There is noticeable positive sentiment and excitement about the potential to be listed with Apple, indicating perceived value.

### Cons

- ID/photo verification is unreliable: scanning often fails, photos are rejected, sides get cropped, and there are reports of mirrored/capture-zone problems.
- Enrollment and upload processes frequently fail with various bugs (unknown errors, lag, camera issues, and cross‑device problems like Mac app enrollment failures).
- Billing/renewal issues: charges before approval, delays in renewal payments, and poor response from support.
- Video playback and general performance issues: poor fullscreen support, low streaming quality, and slow app updates.
- Some reviews indicate ongoing reliability and UX problems, with multiple users reporting similar errors across sessions.
