Renew apple developer program

Program Renewal

Make sure to renew your membership to keep your account active and to maintain membership benefits, including beta OS releases, advanced app capabilities, technical support, and tools to develop, test, and distribute apps.

Renewing your annual membership

Apple Developer website

If you enrolled on the web, you can opt in to have your membership automatically renewed by selecting the Auto-Renew Membership checkbox in the Membership section of your account. If you have opted in to automatic renewal, the default credit/debit card associated with your Apple ID will be charged the annual membership fee on your expiration date. Please note, automatic renewal is only available in certain regions.*

Alternatively, you can renew manually starting 30 days before the expiration date of your existing membership or any time after it expires. Your expiration date is available in your account on the Apple Developer website. To renew, sign in to your account with the Apple ID you used to enroll, and click the Renew Membership button. If your membership is still active when you renew, your new membership will activate as soon as your current membership expires and you’ll receive two (2) new Technical Support Incidents (TSIs).

If your membership has already expired when you renew, your renewal will activate once you complete the renewal process and any free apps you had available for download will become available again within 24 hours. Any paid apps you had available for download will become available again after you sign in to App Store Connect and complete your Paid Applications contract. You do not need to resubmit your apps. You will also receive two (2) new TSIs and regain access to any TSIs purchased separately from your Apple Developer Program. Please note that TSIs purchased separately expire one year from the date they were activated.

Apple Developer app

If you enrolled through the Apple Developer app, your membership will automatically renew as an auto-renewable subscription. The default payment method associated with your iTunes and App Store account will be used. If you need to use your organization’s credit card, add it to the Apple ID that’s signed in to your device’s settings in the Media & Purchases section (iOS 14 or later) or the iTunes & App Store section (iOS 13.7 or earlier). This can be a different Apple ID than the one used to enroll.

You can cancel your subscription at any time and retain access to membership benefits until your membership’s expiration date, which you can view in the Account tab in the Apple Developer app. If you cancel your subscription and want to resubscribe, you can do so at any time for up to one year after your membership expiration date.

Details for organizations

Membership renewal must be done by the Account Holder, who also has the ability to manage the automatic membership renewal. If you’re on an organization’s team, the contact information for the Account Holder can be found in the Membership Information section of your account. For more information on roles, see Program Roles and App Store Connect Roles.

Device list

Thirty days before membership expiration, you’ll have the option to download a copy of your registered test device list and/or opt in to have all devices removed immediately upon expiration if you don’t plan to renew membership.

If you renew your membership, you and any Admins will be given the option to remove registered test devices that you no longer use for development when you first sign in to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles at the start of your new membership year. You can remove specific devices, remove all devices to restore your available device count to 100 per device type, or continue without removing any devices. Once you complete this process, new devices can be added.

Expired memberships

If your Apple Developer Program membership expires, your apps will no longer be available for download and you won’t be able to submit new apps or updates. You’ll lose access to prerelease software, Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, and TSIs. However, your apps will still function for users who have already installed or downloaded them, and you will still have access to App Store Connect and free development resources.

If your Apple Developer Enterprise Program membership expires, your apps will no longer be available for download and they’ll no longer function for those who have already installed or downloaded them. You will, however, still have access to free development resources.

Thirty days before membership expiration, you’ll have the option to download a copy of your registered test device list and/or opt in to have all devices removed immediately upon expiration if you don’t plan to renew membership. If you don’t opt in, all devices will be removed automatically 180 days after membership expiration.

iOS Developer University Program memberships don’t expire.

Can I make changes to my account during the renewal process?

No. Changes to your account, such as transferring your Account Holder role or converting an individual membership to an organization membership, must be made after the renewal process is complete.

Разработчики за пределами США жалуются на проблемы с оформлением и продлением подписки Apple Developer Program

Более пяти месяцев продолжаются проблемы у разработчиков за пределами США, связанные с невозможностью корректного оформления новой подписки или продления текущей подписки на программу Apple Developer Program. Это неприятная ситуация настолько стало раздражать многих разработчиков, что они обратились с этой проблемой в издание 9to5Mac, где 8 июня 2020 года опубликовали статью про эту проблему. Разработчики продолжают надеяться, что в Apple все же обратят на них внимание и компания найдет устраивающее всех решение.

Суть проблемы: около полугода назад компания Apple начала отклонять попытки с помощью иностранных (не зарегистрированных в США и некоторых других странах) банковских карт оплатить подписку на программу Apple Developer Program. В результате возникновения такой ситуации новая учетная запись разработчика не активируется, так как нет возможности завершить процесс регистрации. Также нельзя обновить и продлить подписку, которая была разработчиком ранее активирована таким же образом без проблем.

Это серьезная проблема, потому что она касается многих разработчиков, включая российских, немецких, белорусских, китайских, болгарских, вьетнамских. Тем более, что по правилам Apple, не продление существующей учетной записи в программе Apple Developer Program может привести к удалению всех приложений разработчика из магазина App Store. Разработчики из США, Великобритании и Канады таких проблем не испытывают.

Некоторые разработчики рассказали, что даже пытались использовать разные кредитные карты для оплаты, но ни одна из них в итоге так и не была принята Apple. У некоторых разработчиков получалось оплатить с одной и той же карты после нескольких повторных попыток, но это не срабатывает со всеми, кто столкнулся с этой проблемой. У некоторых разработчиков получилось попросить Apple выставить им счет вручную и оплатить, но это тоже работает не со всеми. Советы от Apple почистить кэш и обновить Safari также не помогают, как и перепривязка карты к аккаунту Apple ID и прочее.

При попытке выяснить у представителей Apple причину проблему, разработчикам было пояснено, что им следует обратиться в их банк для решения этой проблемы. Хотя в банке обычно поясняли, что с их карточками все в порядке. Также в банках отвечали, что они не получали никаких запросов на оплату от Apple, в то время как служба поддержки Apple продолжала отвечать, что у разработчиков проблемы со стороны банка.

«Я из России, и я не могу купить аккаунт Business Developer уже 1,5 месяца — 2 Apple ID и 7 кредитных карт потерпели неудачу. Со мной связался старший консультант службы поддержки Apple, но они очень смутно пояснили причины этой проблемы, а также возможность и срок ее решения, — написал один разработчик.

Также разработчики пояснили, что этими же картами они оплачивали покупки в магазине App Store, который принимает их без проблем. Почему происходит сбой с этими картами в процессе регистрации и оплаты в Apple Developer Program — непонятно.

«Не было даже попытки снять с моей карты. Я снова позвонил в службу поддержки Apple, и они не ответили мне», — рассказал один из разработчиков изданию 9to5Mac.

В издании 9to5Mac обратились в Apple за комментариями по этой проблеме, но по настоящее время никакого ответа от компании не последовало.

Пример только одного сообщения от разработчика, для которого эта ситуация стала уже проблемной: „Привет, Apple. Что вы ответите здесь, когда тысячи ваших разработчиков перейдут на Android? Я в течение 5 минут зарегистрировал аккаунт разработчика в Google Play. Чего вы ждете? Если вы не хотите видеть международных разработчиков в своем AppStore, просто напишите об этом! Напишите это на своем веб-сайте, напишите нам это, когда мы используем XCode. Почему я должен с этим сталкиваться после того, как я сделал приложение и готов его выпустить. Что вы хотите? Хотите больше денег от не-американских / британских разработчиков? Хорошо, просто скажи это! Не издевайся над нами! Международные разработчики имеют значение (International developers matter)!“

How to renew an iPhone development certificate?

My development certificate has expired. What is the correct method of renewing it? Do you revoke the expired certificate & submit a new Certificate Signing Request? Do provisioning profiles have to be recreated? Are there any side-effects of doing this?

9 Answers 9

With Xcode 5, following steps:

2) Open XCode — Preferences — Accounts — View Details, then click refresh icon in left-bottom

3) Xcode asks if you want to request a new certificate

Enjoy this simple work

If the certificate is expired, you can not revoke it. You need to re-create it through the developer program portal.

Once you have your new certificate available, I am not sure if you need to create again the provisioning profiles associated to your previous certificate. I guess you must probably do this (unless the provisioning profiles just use the certificate subject and not the valid from/ to fieds).

To the best of my knowledge, there are no other side-effects.

Don’t know if this will help but I performed the following steps today to get my expired profile back on track.

NOTE: These steps are a day after my provisioning / certificates expired. I purposely did it a day after expiration. It makes the things much easier, in a weird way.

2) Click on certificates

3) Request New Certificate

4) Upload file CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest from desktop folder. (if you had saved one from last time) For more info check this link

6) Launch your Xcode program

7) Click on Device

8) Click on Provisioning Profiles

9) Select your expired certificate and hit the renew button on the top.

10) Wait 2-5 minutes

11) Go back to https://developer.apple.com/ios/manage/provisioningprofiles and there should be a new distribution certificate

11a) Go to provisioning on the iTunes web and edit —> modify all your provisioning profiles and hit submit. Just modify any device or check box on them.

11b) After a few seconds your profiles will be renewed. (Hit refresh button on your browser)

12) download both development and distribution certificates. (no need to download provisioning certificates)

13) Save them in a new folder on desktop and double click on the dev and distribution certificates

14) This launches keychain. Delete old / expired keychains

15) Go back to Xcode under Provisioning Profiles and hit the Refresh button at the bottom

16) All should be working and nothing should be out to date or expired

Xcode 4.6 handles all of it for you — this process is now much easier than in the accepted answer.

See this link for details.

I believe the key to this process working is waiting until your certificate expires.

Here’s how I did it in less than 60 seconds with Xcode 4.6:

When my distribution profiles were within two days of expiring, I tried to extend them. I found that what was really expiring were the identity certificates in my keychain, to which all the profiles were tied. And I couldn’t find any way of renewing the identity certificates; I had to delete my certificates from the keychain and create them from scratch, as described here:

. Delete the certificate from your Keychain, then follow the «Obtaining your iPhone Development Certificate» or «Obtaining your iPhone Distribution Certificate» section in the iPhone Developer Program Portal User Guide to generate a new certificate

However, my problems didn’t end there. Now I had a new certificate, and I was able to create a distribution profile as described here:

However, I still couldn’t create a distribution build (ad hoc or for the App Store), because Xcode complained that there were two distribution certificates in my keychain, and (it said) there Must Be Only One. But how could that be? I had deleted the expiring certificates. Yet sure enough, it was true: the expiring certificates that I had deleted had returned to my keychain!

In the end I figured out that it was Xcode itself that was somehow recreating the expiring certificates — presumably based on information inside the expiring development and distribution profiles that Xcode still contained. That’s right, Xcode was creating a second certificate in my keychain, and then complaining that there were too many certificates in my keychain.

So I deleted all the development and distribution profiles from Xcode, and then deleted the expiring certificates from my keychain again.

But that still didn’t solve the problem, because Xcode proceeded to download all the profiles from the Portal again! And when it did so, it created the expiring certificates in my keychain again!!

So in the end I had to delete everything:

I deleted all distribution and provisioning profiles from the Portal, so that Xcode couldn’t download them again.

I deleted all the distribution and provisioning profiles from Xcode.

I also deleted all the distribution and provisioning profiles from my devices, just to be on the safe side.

I deleted the expiring identity certificates from my Keychain, one last time.

At last I was left with a clean slate. So now I re-downloaded the distribution profile that I’d created at the Portal, and I was able to create a distribution build of my app and upload it to iTunes Connect.

My final problem was that now I couldn’t build and run (develop) on my devices, because I’d deleted the expiring «team development profile». I couldn’t find any way to make a new one at the Portal, and I couldn’t find any way to ask for one in Xcode, but in the end I hit upon a lucky chance: I hooked one of my devices to the computer and asked Xcode to add it at the Portal, even though it had already been added to the Portal previously. This worked — it caused Xcode to ask the Portal for a new team development profile, and at last I was fully back in business. I was able to develop on my devices with the team development profile, and I was able to create distribution profiles and download them and build with them for Ad Hoc or App Store builds.

So what I learned from this adventure is: When your certificates expire, delete everything (all certificates and profiles) and start over from scratch.
