What countries does Apple accept developers from?

I have made a search and to my surprise I could not find an official list of countries on Apple website where developers can work with Apple to sell apps.

Does anyone know developers from what countries Apple works with?

Actually AsroAl, you really can't find those, because there's no specific countries. It's all developers are welcome to submit an application to Apple but of course Apple is Apple. You'll pass through the hole of a sewing pin before you can get through.

Okay, this is the big one. "Finished games have to be submitted to the App Store using the same interface as music producers use," explains Varrall. "It's a straightforward process of zipping up the file, uploading it with a description, a large and small icon, and screenshots. If everything is alright then it usually takes Apple a week to approve the content and it finds itself in the store. If there is a problem, such as obvious bugs or Lite apps that are mentioned as demos or aren't fully featured, then this can take longer to review and ultimately reject. In this instance you can fix the issue and resubmit as many times as you like."

Thanks a lot for your answer, if it works this way - it is great! A developer from any country can buy iOS developer program and starts selling apps! I wish Apple has it in their FAQ pages for developers.

...and this seems way better than Android market approach - they have a very strict list of countries from which developers (merchants) can come from.

If your country is one of the 86 countries with an iTunes store then its a good bet that Apple will accept developers from that country. There are some countries excluded of course - North Korea and the like.

You can find the list in the iTunes store - scroll all the way to the bottom and click on the country flag in the bottom right.
