Method for Dealing with App Demolition Due to Developer Account Expiration

Method for Dealing with App Demolition Due to Developer Account Expiration
To handle the issue of an app being taken down due to an expired developer account, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your developer account.
  2. Click on "Account" in the upper right corner and select "Renew."
  3. Enter your credit card information, ensuring you use a Visa-supported bank card.
  4. After renewing, wait for approximately 24 hours for Apple to automatically reinstate your app.
  5. Users who have already downloaded the app on their devices can continue using it normally. Please note: It is important to promptly renew your Apple developer account to avoid your app being taken down. After renewing your membership, make sure to agree to the Paid Applications Agreement in the "Agreements, Tax, and Banking" section on iTunes Connect. Additionally, if you need to create a certificate, you can use the AppUploader service. Here are the steps to create a certificate:
  6. Go to the homepage of AppUploader and click on "Certificate Management."
  7. Click on "Add" to create a new certificate file.
  8. Choose between a development certificate or a distribution certificate, and save the certificate file (usually in .p12 format).
  9. If you need to sync the certificate across different computers, select the option "Synchronize certificates with AppUploader service." This allows you to easily upload and download the certificate on different devices.
