Renewing your Developer Program is usually just a minor annoyance. You either have it set up to auto-renew and promptly forget about it1 or you need to log in before the deadline for a few minutes and click on a few buttons to renew it manually. No big deal. I didn’t have any problems renewing it these previous years, all the way back to 2014.
This year let’s say it has been pretty complicated… I logged in and there was no buttons, after trying to find a solution on Google I came up with this crowdsourced list2 that solved it:
-
Go to your account page and look for the renewal link
-
Try using the direct link to the renewal page
-
Turn OFF auto renewal if you have it on and reload the page
-
Use Safari on macOS, NOT any other browser
-
Log out and back in (with auto-renewal turned off)
I managed to get the button showing after turning off auto-renewal, logging off and finally logging back in. All of this while using Safari.
If all else fails you can try calling Apple Support, they’re usually pretty helpful.
