Creating a Free Developer Account

If you’re new to development on Apple platforms, you can get started for free. Simply accept the Apple Developer Agreement and an account will be created for you. Use this account to download beta versions of Xcode, visit forums, report bugs, or accept an invitation to join your organization’s account in the Apple Developer Program.

Managing Your Developer Program Account

When you’re ready to build more advanced capabilities and distribute your apps, you can join the Apple Developer Program to distribute on the App Store, Apple Business Manager*, and Apple School Manager*. Organizations with specific use cases that require private distribution directly to employees through a secure internal system or a Mobile Device Management solution may be eligible for the Apple Developer Enterprise Program. If you join a program, you’ll see additional membership-related options in your account, such as membership information, access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, code-level support, and more.

Resetting Your Device List Annually

If you are the Account Holder, you can reset your list of development devices each year using Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. You can register up to 100 of each device type for testing and Ad Hoc distribution per membership year. At the start of your new membership year, Account Holders, Admins, and App Managers will be presented with the option to remove listed devices and restore the available device count to 100 when first signing in to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.

Although you may remove a device from your account during the year, it will continue to count against your device limit. When resetting your list, make sure to remove all devices you no longer use for development before adding any new devices.

Managing Your App Store Connect Account

Once you’ve completed your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program, you can sign in to App Store Connect with the Apple ID you used to enroll. App Store Connect is a suite of tools that allow you to submit and manage your apps for sale on the App Store, distribute beta versions of your app using TestFlight, accept legal agreements, enter your tax and banking information, view analytics, and more.
