Renew your Apple Developer account

Your Apple Developer membership renews once a year. If it lapses, Apple removes your app from the App Store until you renew. When this happens, you'll see an alert in your Owner dashboard.

⚠️ Your app stays off the App Store until you renew. Renew as soon as you can to keep downtime short.


Renew your membership

  1. Go to developer.apple.com and click the account icon in the top right.

  2. Sign in with the email linked to your Apple Developer account.

  3. When the renewal prompt appears, click Renew Membership.

  4. Follow the steps on screen to pay and place your order. Apple emails you a confirmation when the renewal is done.

ℹ️ Apple usually processes renewals within 24 hours. Your app should be back in the App Store 24 to 48 hours after your renewal is confirmed.


Turn on auto-renew

To keep your app from being removed again, turn on Auto-Renew in Membership details. Apple then charges your card each year on your expiration date.
