I doubt someone who’s such a small developer that they recently let their dev account expire would be considered for this. They’ll be targeting big and established developers not people who decide to spend $99 on a dev account so they can access cool toys early.
Yeah for sure, I am just wondering whether they technically send them out in Germany, or whether this is US only.
Of course there are plenty of large German companies with the means to pay for a full developer kit and who are part of the Apple ecosystem in some way.
