I signed up for an iPhone development program last December hoping to develop an app but got carried away by other projects in my life. Now I get messages from Apple that my developer account is expiring in a week. I will not be able to post anything in the App Store for the next 6 months at least, thus the question — if I let it expire now, can I renew, say, in summer of the next year? And, will it have any consequences on my apple ID?
PS. I currently do not have any apps in the App Store, nor that I plan on testing my apps on a real device.
Yep, you can renew/reactivate. Went through a similar experience myself.
