Apple App Developer Account

Some notes on the research that I found out about Apple Developer Account.

• Anyone can use their Apple ID for a free Apple Developer Account
• This allow debugging/installing the app on iOS device by connecting it with USB to the Mac with the XCode
• Push Notifications require a paid account, ie. ADP (Apple Development Program) membership
• Paid developer account can share access from apple store connect website
  • It needs to be an Organization account to be able to give access to certificates
  • Individual account cannot do this
• It is a convention that the owner of the app has the paid account even though they are not the one who develop it
  • The developer’s Apple ID then gets added into their account given certain permissions so that they can develop and release the app
  • The owner has to be the one who adds the apple ID though
• An Apple ID can be a user in multiple Apple Developer Account
