I’ve seen numerous posts of how long it takes for someone in a country that do not have a Apple Store (not to be confused with iTunes Store) to enroll into the iPhone Developer Program.
I’m from Brazil, and I’ve seen many reports of enrollments taking more than 4 weeks to complete, and, after reading all these posts, I was conformed in waiting the four weeks for the process.
Just so you know, we need to send a signed fax with a lot of information, including credit-card details, to Apple.
I was astonished that, 4 hours after I’ve sent the fax, my credit card was charged and I’ve got two e-mails saying that my developer program was activated and it was ready to use. Immediately I’ve logged on the Apple developer site, and it was everything there. Provisioning creation, iPhone SDK 4 and iPhone OS 4 available for download… Everything.
Well, thank you Apple, for another great customer service.
I’m sorry my fellow countrymates took so long, but we do need to report the goods and bads, right? Expect some info on upcoming app store software from us!
