Common pitfalls to avoid
❌ "This email address is not available"
Email already used in Apple ID or Developer Program
Use a clean new email + test at iforgot.apple.com
❌ Can't select Organization
Apple ID is managed or account type is wrong
Create a fresh personal Apple ID, not managed by MDM or Apple Business Manager
❌ D-U-N-S not found
Business not registered properly or data mismatch

❌ Apple won’t verify
Info mismatch or wrong contact
Double-check your legal name, email domain, and authority role
❌ Domain-based email rejected
Email provider is blocked or flagged
Use a trusted domain like Gmail or a properly configured business domain (SPF/DKIM set)
