Here's a detailed guide on creating an Apple Developer account for your organization. When you have the account, you'll be able to publish apps on the App Store.
Welcome to our guide on joining the Apple Developer Program on behalf of your Organization!
When you have an Apple Developer account, you can start publishing iOS apps on the Google Play store.
It’s beneficial if a person, who’s a Founder or a Director, handles this process. Validating the person and the company is more straightforward, when the person is named in the company registration documents.
1. Get your D-U-N-S number
Now let’s start off with the D-U-N-S number! Google “International DUNS number” and select “Choose Your Country or Region”. Select your region and look for your D-U-N-S number on the site. Click “Email” to get the D-U-N-S number emailed to you.
You might get your D-U-N-S instantly, or it might take up to 30 days to come – this varies by region.
When you have received your D-U-N-S number and have all the necessary information at hand, it’s time to start the registration process!
2. Log into your Apple account – or create one
Go to developer.apple.com
Click “Account”
If you have an Apple account – an Apple ID – enter the email address or phone number associated with the account. When you sign in, you’ll need to use a password or a passkey – read a QR code on the screen using your Apple device.
If you don’t have one, click “Create yours now” below the sign in box
You’ll be asked to fill in your basic details like name, country, date of birth, email and password. Finally you’ll verify your contact details with a text message or a phone call.
3. Review the Apple Developer Agreement
Next it’s time to review and approve the Apple Developer Agreement. Check the box to confirm the Agreement. You can also opt in to receive further communications and update for Apple developers. Click “Submit”
4. Enroll for the Apple Developer Program
Once you have completed those steps, click “Enroll today” under “Join the Apple Developer Program”.
Next, click “continue enrollment on the web”.
Fill in your personal information here.
Select one of the organizations as your entity – not an individual. Individual accounts can’t invite collaborators to – for example – take care of app publishing.
At this point Apple informs you on what you need to complete the enrollment process.
- Your organization needs to be a legal entity
- You need to have the authority to sign legal agreements
- You need a website and a work email with your organization’s domain name
- A D-U-N-S number – which we took care of earlier
Click “Continue”
5. Fill in company information
Now fill out the legal entity name of your organization and the D-U-N-S number. Click “Continue”, then give the website address and the phone number of your organization. Finally, confirm your authority to sign legal documents, and enter your work email. Verify your email address by clicking “Send code” and then go to your email to copypaste the code here.
If you have been given authority to sign legal documents on behalf of your organization, provide a reference who can verify your authority. Click “Continue”
Next up, you’ll be asked to verify and confirm the information you’ve filled out. Click “Submit” if it’s correct, and click “back” if you need to fix something.
Now your enrollment is being processed. You’ll receive email from Apple on how to complete the enrollment process.
Click to review the Apple license agreement. Check the box when you’re ready and click “Continue”.
6. Complete your purchase
It’s time to purchase your Apple Developer Program membership for the first year. Currently the price for the membership is 100 US dollars per year. You can also opt in to automatically renew your membership.
You need to log in again with your password or a pass key to purchase.
Choose the payment method you’d like to use, and fill in the details.
Finally, confirm your purchase.
7. Ready
Now you’re ready to publish an iOS app!
Next up in publishing your app:
- Have you already created an Google Play Developer account?
