I am currently experiencing lack of access to my previous free Apple Developer Certificates, IDs and Profiles after switching to the paid $99.00 a year Apple Developer program using the same Apple Id email address as I used for the free Apple Developer account. The same issue as other developers such as this Apple developer and this Apple Developer and this Apple Developer.Logged into developer.apple.com -> Certificates, IDs and Profiles -> Identifiers - App IDs I click the + button to add a new App ID, I choose Explicit App ID and when I entered my Bundle Id and continue I am presented the message:"An App ID with Identifier '' is not available. Please enter a different string."My Bundle Id is guranteed unique, my company name, for example, is not even a real word in any dictionary in the world and it is 100% the case that I am receiving the above error message because the Bundle Id is associated with my free Apple Developer Account.In Xcode I can verify this, at least to some degree by going to Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts -> My Apple Id where I see two teams for my Apple Id:Brian Ogden - AgentBrian Ogden (Personal Team) - UserI then click "Brian Ogden (Personal Team)", which is the free account, and select the "View Details" button, the Window displays a Provisioning Profile for the free Developer Account that includes the Bundle Id that I am trying to use as a new App ID for my paid Developer Account. This Provisioning Profile expires in 6 days.It is stated here , at the bottom of the page, by user yorktang that Apple Customer Support cannot do anything about this issue, yorktang states, after contacting Apple Support that Apple Support said, "We can't do any deleting operation for any account".My question is this:The free account Provisoining Profile that is associated with the Bundle Id that I want to use as an App ID for my paid account expires in 6 days, am I in the potentially lucky situation that my Bundle Id will be "released" or available again to me in 6 days, after my free account Provisioning Profile expires?
