Hi folks, I was struggling with renewing the Apple Developer Program and did not find any guide that clearly mentions how to renew the program in India. This is applicable for upcoming renewal as well as expired subscription. Please ensure you follow the steps in the sequence provided. You need to use the same Apple ID used to renew the subscription in the past. Note: In India, you will not see Renew button in India so do not try looking for it.
Here are the tried and tested steps to renew Apple Developer Program in India:
- Go to your iPhone’s Settings App.
- Next, click the first option that displays your name with options Apple ID, iCloud, Media & Purchases.
- Click Subscriptions and confirm you see the Apple Developer Program listed. Proceed to next step ONLY if you see this. Make sure you use the same Apple ID you used to renew the subscription last year.
- After confirming that Apple Developer Program is listed, come back to Settings Page and Click Payment & Shipping.
- Next, Add Payment Method, Net Banking if not already Added. Then select Net Banking (Only to add funds to Apple ID) option. (You can also use UPI to set up recurring payment but I simply completed a one time payment for renewal).
- Click Add Funds to Apple ID. Add INR 8700 to Apple ID.
- Once the transfer is complete, the Apple Developer Program will auto-renew in 10-15 minutes.
Good Luck!
