Remove App ID with free Apple Developer Account

Question

Apple recently introduced the Free Provisioning in iOS9 & Xcode 7. I was using it and XCode registered my bundle ID automatically as an App ID, now I want to remove the App ID to use it with another account but I can't find the way to do it.

Does this answer your question? [How to delete an App ID associated with a Personal Team?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34552441/how-to-delete-an-app-id-associated-with-a-personal-team) — Senseful, Dec 12 '22 at 12:38

You can't manage AppIDs and provisioning profiles created by Free Account. If you want to revoke AppID, send email or call to apple support.

Email https://developer.apple.com/contact/submit/

Call https://developer.apple.com/contact/phone.php

It will take few minites or hours.

Omg, this is absolutely terrible. Apple really makes it incredibly hard to publish an app: DUNS, then account approval, then payment approval and now this. It's been 20 days already and we haven't even started submitting the app. On Google Play the whole process took 15min. – qwertzguy Dec 21 '18 at 06:38
Sharing my experience: I contacted Apple support by email. It tooks within a week to revoke the App ID and reuse it with another account. – Michaël Polla Dec 23 '18 at 01:33
Phone call is much faster than email. Call to apple instead of sending email, if you don't want to wait long time. – hoi Dec 27 '18 at 05:48

May be there is no manage option for free account. Because, I did not find any option to add any device,create app ID, downloading provisioning and distribution profile from free account.

For free account you will not find Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles

if there is no manage option how can a free user remove an App ID? XCode registered it automatically... – Marc Oct 30 '15 at 10:03
i could not find any option to remove. – Jamil Oct 30 '15 at 10:08
this free option can only do all automatically – Jamil Oct 30 '15 at 10:09
you need not remove app ID, but create new one (also automatically). – Jamil Oct 30 '15 at 10:11
additionally, you will not able your app up to app store, this this is only for testing – Jamil Oct 30 '15 at 10:13
but my bundle id will be locked forever? – Marc Oct 30 '15 at 11:30
if you pay $99, it will be automatically activated for all – Jamil Oct 30 '15 at 15:27
I have a developer account with another email but it says that the bundle id is already in use. – Marc Oct 30 '15 at 16:09
Same problem here, do you find a solution? – Nick Allen Dec 15 '15 at 02:24
I have come across this too, and I have just emailed Apple explaining everything to them. Hopefully they will get back to me about it and I can update this post. – user1898712 Aug 17 '17 at 16:06
@user1898712 so? – Zoli Feb 20 '18 at 16:37

@Zotyi - They got back to me, and they had to disassociate my app from my free account and associate it with my paid account. Nightmare, but hey, a simple email sorted it for me. – user1898712 Feb 21 '18 at 16:55
