If you're an Apple Developer, then you know that there are a lot of different ways to access the Developer Portal. In this article, we'll discuss how to login to the Developer Portal and explore some of the available roles and responsibilities.
What is an Apple Developer Portal?
Apple Developer Portal is a web-based application that provides access to the latest software releases, tools, and resources for Apple developers. You can create an account and log in to the portal to get started.
To log in, click on the Login link at the top right corner of the portal homepage. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and password.
Once you have logged in, you will see a list of your active roles in the portal. Each role has certain privileges and access rights.
For example, if you are a member of the Developer Organization, you will have access to all the features and resources available to developers in your organization. If you are not a member of an organization, you may only have limited access to certain features and resources.
To view your active roles in the portal, click on My Roles at the top left corner of the portal homepage.
How to login to the Apple Developer Portal
If you are a registered Apple Developer, you can login to the Developer Portal from your account page at developer.apple.com. Logging in will take you to the Welcome Page. The top of the page has links to Dashboard, My Projects, and Account Settings. Below the links are icons for each of the three main areas of the Developer Portal: Apps, Development Tools, and Resources.
To the right of each icon is a heading that provides more information about that section of the Developer Portal. For example, under the heading "Apps", the heading "Apps & App Distribution" provides information about creating and managing apps, as well as distributing apps through the App Store and Mac App Store.
Below each heading is a list of options that let you access more detailed information about that section of the Developer Portal: for example, under "Apps & App Distribution", there is a link that takes you to a page with instructions on how to create an app.
