hi, is it possible that someone is using my Apple ID as a developer? I found myself enrolled in a developers program, I also found apps on my phone designed as apps but are leading me to a browser. So that means that someone is using my ID enrolled in the developers program and helping design apps as browsers, and Apple is helping them.

Developer enrollment doesn’t provide remote access, doesn’t provide remote screen sharing, doesn’t allow your connections to be monitored, etc. It is not a master key. It does allow locally-developed apps to be loaded and run.
Are you possibly misinterpreting some benign display? Apple made some development-related controls more visible back around iOS 16.4 IIRC, for instance. What displays are you viewing that indicates membership in the developer program?
Here is how to check your Apple ID account status: visit the following Apple web page and log into the account tab using your Apple ID:
… https://developer.apple.com/account
If you can log in there, you are enrolled. If not, you’re not.
If you are enrolled and don’t remember enrolling, and are not sharing an Apple ID:
… If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support — re-secure your account
… Personal Safety User Guide - Apple Support — there’s a PDF of that guide at the bottom
Run Safety Check from the second link.

I am unclear what you are reporting.
Can you log into the Apple developer portal?
As this is centrally involving some old iPhone of yours that you found in a drawer, is the iPhone or its display hardware possibly simply wonky?
As for web apps, saving a web page to your home screen is a function provided by Apple. That can then provide additional functions, including notifications. Here is a mobile website web app provided by the US NOAA National Weather Service: mobile.weather.gov
You can “save” that web page to your iPhone or iPad home screen if you want, and it then works mostly like an app.
On iPad, the web page save (highlighting added) available from the Sharing menu looks like this:
A whole lot of apps are also at least partially implemented as browsers, as well. The Apple Store app is one such app. Many apps providing a catalog of items or a gallery or such will be.
As you have already discussed this—whatever this might be, and that is quite unclear—with Apple, and have undoubtedly followed their suggestions for re-securing your Apple ID, then it is unlikely anything further that can be added to those recommendations here.
Per Apple:
… If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support — re-secure your account

I know enrollment does not provide remote access . Thats another story how they got in my Phone ( I found a old phone still signed into my apple id and hooked up to my wifi in my draw in April in a 14 ios operating system ) . Later to find out all my apps had a desined blueprint of the real app on top . Amex was the first one to tell me the amex app was really a browser . I hit the app and described it to american expresss and they informed me it was a browswer . I paid all my bills through the app . Then I found out all my apps were like that . I never knew there was a devolper id until apple told me I had one . I also found testflight downloaded to my phone and noticed my app store on my mac looked different . I believe A devolper has a diffferebt looking app store ? I found out there was a different sign in for devolper signed in to devolper with my id to be kicked out by some server error .
Is it possible that someone is using my Apple ID as a developer?
