I finally received the email from Apple this morning to pay my $99.00 for the iPhone Developer Certificate, which I promptly did.
However, after logging into the iPhone development center, I don't see anything different that would allow me to download the certificate so that I may now build and test apps on my devices?
If someone that has been thru this process could shed some light on the missing steps it would be greatly apprecaiated.
Apple should be sending you a link. It may be in a follow up letter.
If you're registered and logged into the developer iphone page then on the upper right should be a portal link. Click that. Information is by tabs on top. suggest printing them out. On left is tabs to your information to be filled in
On a side note, does anyone else find it odd that they're still sending out invites for the beta this close to WWDC? I was thinking they'd have the final version ready by then, so they could make the late June launch date with apps that aren't going to break.

How long did you have to wait for the e-mail telling you you had been excepted?
For your 2 week turnaround, did you register as an individual or as a company? I'm just now getting the company going, so I registered as an individual. It was over a month ago & haven't heard anything back yet.

Two week turnaround was not typical - many of us who signed up on the day the SDK was released back in, what, February, just got our developer certificates lately. I think they've ramped up and worked through some of the backlog, but I wouldn't expect two week turnaround. You might get it, but I definitely wouldn't make any plans based on it.

Cool, thanks. I fired off an email to Apple too, but I'm not holding my breath. I won't have anything ready on day 1 anyway (guessing it's very soon). I should have a couple apps ready to go within a month or so though.
I have no idea why the timeframe was so short, perhaps with WWDC approaching shortly Apple, ramped up approvals prior to the conference. To double check I went back and checked the emails for dates.
I did the reigistration on May 12th and received the Acceptance on May 29th and Activation Code emails on May 30th, which was the same day I donatated my $99.00 fee.
During that time frame I did send an email to ADC at Apple to confirm my registration, as I had heard that some developers had thought they registered, but Apple did have a record of it. So other than downloading the SDK nothing was in the works.
If your registration was successful you should receive an Enrollment Reference Number, also referred to as an Enrollment ID, this is used by Apple to track your enrollment status.
I have yet to receive a reply on the duration that the Developers Certificate is valid for, perhaps someone attending WWDC next week could ask. At this point it appears to be a six month certificate.

I must say it is such a clumsy process, especially seeing if your country doest have an online apple developer program registration, then you got to send them a fax...
