How do I let an oversea developer publish apps with my individual developer account?

Hello experts! Sorry if this questions has been asked before. I can't seem to find it with the search funciton (maybe I'm not using the right keywords so I apologize in advance)


I hired a developer from another counry who will develop the app, upload and publish it for me under my account. I've paid for an Apple developer membership (99USD) but today I learned that what I have is an individual membership, which apparently has some user permission limit.


After adding my developer to my membership on App Store Connect, I thought he will be able to take control but he told me that he doesn't have the permission to create certificates and IDs. After speaking to the developer support, I was told what I mentioned prior. My individual membership will not allow me to give permission to other users to generate certificates and stuff. I was told to migrate my membership to a company membership. However, I do not own a business and I do not wish to register for one since there is a lot to owning a business even for a personal business. Obviously I do not want to share my email and password to a developer oversea that I don't even see face to face.


So here's the question, is there really NO way that I can achieve this with an individual developer membership? Is there any way that I can create the necessary certificates and whatever and send or export to my developer oversea? I'm really stuck here and I wish this was made more transparent on the webstie.


Thanks for your advice!

Note that one of the App Store Connect roles is 'Developer' - suggest you check it out, for starters.


Otherwise, don't confuse teams via Account/Member Center with ASC roles.


In your example (Individual), see the table titled 'Users and Access' here: Role Permissions.


In the end, you may need to assume responsibility for/perform top level functions, at the least. If a remote dev insists on having your account credentials, my advice is to cut them loose and find someone who will work with you. Be sure to have a contract, in any case.

Hey! Have you figured out how to solve this? I'm having the same issue and wondering how you solved it! Thanks!
