Warning: This API will permanently delete the developer and related artifacts.
To avoid permanently deleting developers and their artifacts, set the developer status to inactive using the developers.setDeveloperStatus API.
Note: The delete operation is asynchronous. The developer is deleted immediately, but its associated resources, such as apps and API keys, may take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to be deleted.
