What to prepare before enrolling
To upload an app to the App Store, you need to be part of the Apple Developer Program, which requires an annual fee of $99. If you haven’t registered yet, you should create an Apple developer account. If you already have one, you can bypass the enrollment process and move directly to inviting OneMobile as an admin to your account.
There are two types of iOS developer accounts: a personal iOS developer account and an organization iOS developer account.
IOS developer personal account
If you are an individual or run a sole proprietorship/single-person business, begin by signing in with your Apple ID, ensuring that two-factor authentication is enabled. You will need to supply basic personal details, such as your legal name and address.
IOS developer organization account
If you’re registering your organization, you’ll need an Apple ID with two-factor authentication enabled, along with the following prerequisites to begin:
- A D-U-N-S® Number:
Your organization must possess a D-U-N-S Number to verify its identity and legal entity status. This unique nine-digit number is provided by Dun & Bradstreet and is a standard business identifier. Check if your organization already has one and request it if needed. They are generally free of charge in most areas. Learn more
- Legal Entity Status:
Your organization needs to be a legal entity to enter into contracts with Apple. Entities like DBAs, fictitious businesses, trade names, or branches are not accepted.
- Legal Binding Authority:
As the person responsible for enrolling your organization in the Apple Developer Program, you must have the legal authority to bind your organization to agreements. You should either be the organization’s owner/founder, a member of the executive team, a senior project lead, or an employee with authority granted by a senior official.
- A Website:
Your organization must have a publicly accessible website, and the domain name should be linked to your organization.
