You can have an Apple developer account without paying for it, there’s a free tier, and I think that is allowed for what your parent is referring to.

  I have an Apple developer account...

    So do I and I don't pay for it, and I can sign my apps. What's different in your case?

      So now developer certificates are available on the free tier?

        For at least a few years, they have been. You can set a team and a signing certificate in Xcode with a normal developer account, which does not require any payment. To publish on the App Store, however, requires a paid account. Sounds like you don't use that dev account much :)
