Following my previous post about switching from a business to individual account, I finally received a response from Apple Developer Support. Here's what they told me: From your email, I understand you would like to revert your organization account back to an individual. Once an account has gone through a migration from an individual to a company, this action cannot be undone. I know you mentioned you planned on closing the business, we can disable your team account. You would still be able to take advantage of our Xcode Program. However, you would not be able to publish apps on the App Store. This is incredibly disappointing and frustrating. The email I use for my Apple ID is over 20 years old. I now need to create a new Apple ID to handle Development. This account is essentially broken forever because Apple decided that account migrations should be one-way with no possibility of reversal. What's most infuriating is that Apple never clearly communicated this limitation before I migrated to a business account. There was no warning. My entire experience with the Apple Developer program has been a sh*tshow right from the beginning, it's bug on bug, and it is baffling to me how such a big, reputable company can have such low quality development ecosystem and support.

It's been a good few months and I have not even received an update for my tickets I raised directly with Apple Developer support team. I am in the process of closing down my company and I am no longer interested in being a developer in the Apple Ecosystem. Unfortunately as it turns out, getting out of the ecosystem is also a complicated (if not impossible) process, and switching back from Organization to Individual Developer account became my new nightmare. Good luck to everyone here, I gave up. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/774963

Two weeks ago Apple told us: Our Engineering team is working to resolve your issue which can take an undetermined amount of time. Unfortunately the issue is crippling our business and we can’t afford waiting months on end for resolution. We’re now considering moving away from App Store completely.
