Cancelling iPhone Developer Account

[stephenmckeague]

Hi Guys quick question

If I have (free) apps on the app store that I wrote and uploaded from my developer account, and at a later date decide not to renew it (£60 a year is expensive for me :S), do my existing (free) apps remain on the store or are they removed?

Cheers

If you do not renew your contracts are canceled and your apps are pulled.

Ugh Thanks for the bad news

People who have already downloaded the apps before they're pulled still get to keep them on their iTunes/iPhone right? They just can't re-download them if they need to?

The answer to that must be Yes. I have a couple of applications that were pulled from the App Store and they are still working on my device and are in my iTunes applications folder. I know why one of them was pulled (the developer did it), but I don't know why the other one disappeared.
