Apple Is Developing A Method To Combine Apple IDs

Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook has made a representation in which he said that Apple is currently developing a method to combine multiple Apple IDs, MacRumors reported.

In iOS 5 if you turn on Automatic Downloads with your Apple ID. You will not be able to auto-download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days. This is a gigantic problem for developers who have more than one Apple ID.

MacRumors reader Robert emailed Apple CEO Tim Cook about the issue, and quickly received a phone call from an Apple executive relations employee. She had spoken to the team responsible for Apple IDs and acknowledged that they understood the issue and that more people would run into the problem with iCloud. She also repeated that there is no way yet to combine accounts but revealed they are working on it. In the meantime, she recommended picking a single account to plan on keeping indefinitely and to make all future purchases on that account.

It will be amazing if Apple could solve this problem before the public release of iOS 5.
