IOS – How to leave apple developer program on developer.apple.com

It wasn’t as easy when you asked, but now it’s quite easy to add a new AppleID and then switch roles. Even if the company does not want to do any of the work, you can set up a new AppleID and promote that to the owner and then eject your desired account.

When that is done, you can reapply. I would open a support case with developer support before you start to be sure they can help and you are cleared. They have been exceptionally helpful to us in getting past employees that quit and move the company accounts around as needed.

Each year when you renew your program membership you can remove devices added in previous years. So if you had 100 devices allocated, you could delete 5 and add 5 new devices.

As soon as you add a new device, you can no longer remove devices for the remainder of that year.

So what they are telling you is each year, after renewal, delete any devices you need to remove first. Once you add your first new device, you are only permitted to add devices until your next renewal up to a maximum of 100 devices.
