What is AppTesters Developer Program?

Updated this week

The AppTesters Developer Program is our initiative to grow and strengthen the sideloading community. As you may know, installing IPAs outside of the App Store requires an official Apple Developer account from developer.apple.com. However, not everyone is able to maintain such an account due to cost, restrictions, or limited access.

To solve this, we created a program where community members can directly contribute by creating Apple Developer accounts for AppTesters. These accounts are then used to generate personal certificates, which allow thousands of users worldwide to sideload their favorite IPAs without restrictions—providing the freedom Apple doesn’t give by default.

By joining this program, you are not only helping expand access to sideloading but also becoming part of a larger movement to give users more control over their devices.

💰 What are the benefits of joining?

As a goodwill gesture for your contribution, AppTesters provides:

  • $160.00 bonus in the first year when you successfully create and connect your developer account with us.

  • $130.00 bonus every year at renewal for as long as your account remains active in the program.

This way, you’re not just supporting the community—you’re also earning money every year with almost no additional effort.

⚡ Why should I trust this program?

  • We only use personal developer accounts, not free enterprise certificates, which ensures long-term stability.

  • Your account directly powers the certificates we issue, meaning you’re helping thousands of users sideload apps safely.

  • Payments are guaranteed by AppTesters as a bonus for your support, making this a win–win partnership.

🔐 Is my Apple account safe?

Yes. Your account is only used to generate the certificates required for sideloading. You retain ownership of your Apple ID, and you’ll continue to have full control over your account. We will never share your details. Your Privacy is our utmost priority.

📅 How do I join?

  1. Create a new developer account at Apple Developer.

  2. Once set up, submit your account details through our Developer Program page.

  3. Our team will review, connect it to AppTesters, and confirm your bonus payment.

🌍 Why does this matter?

The AppTesters Developer Program is about freedom and fairness. Apple limits sideloading, but through this community-driven effort, users gain more flexibility with their devices while contributors like you earn recurring rewards. Together, we’re building a system that benefits everyone.
