While experimenting with iPhone app development, we have several AppIDs which should be deleted - except I can't find any way to delete them! What can I do with them?

If delete is not available, how about renaming, hiding or permanently disabling?

UPDATE:

Beginning April 2013 Apple allows deleting AppIDs. Whoaa!

  • Delete: No
  • Rename: No
  • Hide: No
  • Disable: No

If you create an App ID, be prepared to live with it for the rest of your life; App IDs are the herpes of iPhone provisioning.

    and what about the genius who made the fixed length table showing them, so that you can only see the first, unimportant, part of their name? quite cool eh? :/ – hariseldon78 Oct 10 '11 at 14:57

    @hariseldon78 Hover over those truncated names and you get the full name showing as a "tooltip" - assuming you're using an OS that can hover, e.g. not... erm... iOS! :-) Still stinky UI design but hopefully it eases your pain a fraction. – Simon Whitaker Nov 06 '11 at 08:53

    @b-ryce The portal is totally awesome, I deeply enjoy having to create/re-create new CSR's multiple times when additional app. entitlements don't appear against provisioning profiles... it's not like I was planning to use that extra hour or two of my life. – David May 07 '12 at 16:53
  • Nah. Not completely. Still remains for active apps. I really can't figure out any sane reason to stick to a *name* instead of numeric PK value in their own database. This shows how Apple is really suck in designing service stuffs... – eonil Oct 25 '14 at 19:12

The delete button is reappeared again on Apple Developers

Now you can delete your App ID again by following these 2 steps:

  1. Click your AppID and you will see a view like this: enter image description here

  2. Click Edit on the bottom of the view

  1. There you see Delete button

Hope it helps
