they actually changed the policy and now everyone can sign up regardless of age. i am honestly blown away that we got this done and i appreciate every single person who backed this from the start. lets keep building and see what everyone comes up with now that the doors …
We view Apple Computer, Inc.\'s exclusion of minors from:
a) contributing code to open source projects such as Darwin
b) possession of an ADC (Apple Developer Connection) account (even a Student or Online account)
... as unfair, and we would like to see this changed.
If Apple feels that there\'s any reason that minors should be limited in any way, at least they could, for example, ask the person\'s age, and if they\'re under 18, mail a physical contract to their home for a parent or legal guardian to sign.
We would like the right to contribute to Apple open-source projects and hold Apple Developer Connection accounts.
We think Apple should encourage, not exclude, young programmers. We are the future of the Mac platform; why not allow us to get an early start
If I can have a part time job and drive a car I should be allowed to dev for ios. makes no sense.

My son is trying to learn swift and he hits a wall every time he clicks on the site. Apple needs to grow up.

Companies usually want to cultivate young talent but apple just wants to push us away. Fix this.
