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 through the Apple Developer website, you can opt in to automatic membership renewal by turning on “Auto-renew” in the “Membership details” section of your account. If you’ve opted in to automatic renewal, the default credit/debit card associated with your Apple Account will be charged the annual membership fee on your expiration date. Please note that 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 the “Membership details” section of your account on the Apple Developer website. To renew, sign in to your account with the Apple Account you used to enroll, and click the Renew Membership button. If you renew while your membership is still active, your renewal will go into effect when your current membership expires.

If you renew after your membership expires, your renewal will activate when 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 accept the Paid Applications Agreement. You don’t need to resubmit your apps.

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 Account that’s signed in to your device’s settings. This can be a different Apple Account 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

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 or access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. However, your apps will still function for users who have already installed or downloaded them, and you will still have access to certain App Store Connect features and free development resources.

If your Apple Developer Enterprise Program membership expires, your software will no longer be available for download. It will continue to run for 90 days after the expiration date for users who have already downloaded it, as long as your certificates and provisioning profiles are valid for this duration.

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.

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.
