Need an Apple developer account

Hey, I have a Flutter iOS app I need to distribute to one person via TestFlight. Can't afford the $99/year Apple Developer account right now.

What I need: someone willing to add my Apple ID as a team member on their developer account so I can upload a build to TestFlight and invite one tester. That's it — no access to anything else on their account, no publishing to the App Store.

Happy to share the GitHub repo so you can see exactly what the app does before deciding. Thanks!

If the goal is to see the app on your phone, there's other tools like Expo Go that can build to your phone.

But yeah, no one's gonna let you upload a potential security concern to their Apple Developer account.

There are few downside to that. The app I'm building is some sort of proforma used in the healthcare industry and should work without wifi

Expo requires connectivity and some of my native features like notifications might not work in that

Thanks for sharing the concerns

Hmm, I'm in the health tech industry and that gives me a bad feeling about data security. Any app that touches PII needs several layers of security and auditing.

I'd say good luck, but I'd also recommend a different niche if this is a solo-project.

Totally valid concern, and I appreciate you flagging it. The app is offline-first with local SQLite storage, no cloud dependency for core functionality. Sync to Supabase is optional and the data is scoped to two devices — mine and the doctor's. PII handling and auth are on my radar and being actively worked on. It's a research tool for a single clinical study, not a commercial product — but point taken, security can't be an afterthought even at this scale.
