Should You Use a Separate Apple ID for Development?

While it’s perfectly fine to use your regular Apple ID to download Xcode – I do it myself – I recommend using a different Apple ID for enrolling in the Apple Developer Program. Here are a couple of reasons:

  • Using an English name and address can minimize registration and account hassles.

Steps to Create an Apple ID

Creating an Apple ID is straightforward. Just follow these steps:

  1. Head to the Apple ID website at https://appleid.apple.com/.
  2. Click “Create Your Apple ID.”
  3. Fill out the form and follow the on-screen prompts.
