Here is an update! Apple officially shut down my account. All my apps are removed! The only thing I can view is statistics and analytics regarding my previously published apps. A reminder that as soon as you no longer have an app developer account you lose some capabilities from your development environment such as Xcode capabilities. You also lose all your support and communication with Apple as a developer.

Thank you for watching my video and for your comment. Please do not get me wrong, having an Apple Developer program is definitely necessary specially if you want to create more complex apps. I think you would create an account and experiment with some apps, however it is a disappointing behaviour from apple that I did not expect and can't guarantee the same won't happen to anyone else. I will keep you updated! Thank You!

Hello, Run into same situation i ran a company for client games too . Just want to ask were you using any external API etc to fetch data ? Because i never understand how their resolution centre team actually works .

Is your account individual account or organisation account?

Hey did you get your account reinstated?

I'm going through the same issue. My play store developer account was terminated without any notice am not sure why, the funny thing is that there do not care about your appeal, There are no second chance. I was planning to create an Apple developer account so decided to research to know if Apple also terminate developer account then I saw this video, and now I don't know what to do anymore.

Hi bro, Sorry to hear that. You mentioned that we have to request the payment before the account terminated? How did you do that? My account was terminated and I got some revenue before that but have no idea if I could get these revenue. Thank you for your time.

Hey, You will need to withdraw your money before the account is terminated. Unfortunately if you still had some funds, I believe there is a chance you might have lost it. The same happened with me, apple is really out of line doing this to developers. I hope you find a way to fix this issue. Thanks

Hey, I'm going through the same issue. I just opened my account a month ago for hobby purposes and I got a termination notice 4 days ago. I still can't believe this nor understand what I did wrong. I also felt as if Apple was doing as little as possible to guide/help me through this strenuous process. It's absolutely ridiculous that I paid almost $100 for my membership and only got to use it for a month.

Today I’ve got same message from apple. I’ve made my own game in unity and uploaded it on App Store and google play store, google approved without problem, apple said I’m associated with someone that are flagged and my account will be terminated too 🤯 funniest thing is that I’m independent dev and I don’t share my developer account with other ppl… I’m so mad, waiting for their reply now but I’m 100% sure I will have same situation as yours, they say I broke the rules but don’t tell me which one…

My Apple Dev account just got removed. I think right now all the major companies are doing the same thing. My movies were removed from Amazon without notice, FB pages were hacked and they have a page that doesn't work so I can't get them back and no human to speak to and now my Apple Dev account. They are getting rid of the small independents, it feels as though it is a concerted effort. I wouldn't advise your clients to get their own accounts and add you as a Developer because first they will make more revenue and secondly they will do the same thing. Squeeze the small guy!!!! THIS CANNOT BE CO-INCIDENCE!

You basically asked for it, because you waste your time on the Apple eco-system. Move to windows, linux, android. Stop wasting time on Apple products/platform eco-system.
