How to Disassociate Your Personal Apple ID from a Former Employer’s Apple Developer Account

If your personal Apple ID is still tied to a previous employer’s Apple Developer team, you can remove it yourself in App Store Connect — no need to contact support (as long as you’re not the Account Holder).


✅ Steps

  1. Go to App Store Connect
    Log in using the Apple ID that’s currently listed under the old organization.

  2. Edit your profile
    • Click your name (top-right corner) → Edit Profile
    • Scroll all the way to the bottom
    • Click Leave Team

    🔹 This immediately removes your Apple ID from the organization’s developer team.
  3. Sign out and sign back in
    After signing back in, you’ll see no organization memberships under your account.

  4. Enroll in your own Apple Developer Program
    • Visit developer.apple.com/programs/enroll
    • If the web form fails (even in incognito mode), open the Apple Developer iOS app and complete enrollment there — it’s usually more reliable.


💡 Notes & Tips

  • Leaving a team does not affect your Apple ID, iCloud, or App Store purchases.
  • If the “Leave Team” link isn’t visible, you’re likely an Account Holder or Admin — in that case, contact Apple Developer Support to be removed.
  • Once you’re no longer associated with the old organization, the Enroll Now button will automatically appear on your developer account home page.
  • Using the Apple Developer app on iOS is often the most dependable way to complete enrollment.
