Complete these three steps below to prepare for branded mobile apps. Once completed, our team will get started with your apps.

1. Enroll in the Apple Developer Program

  • Prepare an Apple ID for your organization. Create it here.

  • Get a D-U-N-S Number. Request it here.

  • Please keep in mind that the Apple Developer Program costs $99 annually.

  • Nonprofit organizations in certain countries can have fee waivers (eligibility).

  • Enroll as an organization with an Apple ID and a D-U-N-S number here.

  • Depending on your country, the enrollment process could take up to two weeks.

Enrolling as an individual is not supported. Make sure you enroll as an organization with a D-U-N-S number. Joining the Apple Developer Program as an organization requires you to have the authority to enter into legal agreements with Apple on behalf of your organization. A sole proprietor/single-person business can not enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an organization.

2. Prepare your Apple Developer account for the new app submission

Apple requires developers to provide trader status to submit new apps or app updates for distribution in the European Union. To comply with the Digital Services Act, trader status is needed. Follow these steps to submit it:

1. Go to the Business section in your Apple Developer account.

2. Press "Complete Compliance Requirements" at the top > choose your trader status and proceed with the following steps on the screen.

Refer to Apple's documentation to understand what your trader status is.

3. Invite us to your Apple Developer account

For us to submit your app under your Apple Developer Account and maintain it, we need to be invited as administrators to your App Store Connect account. Follow the steps to send the invite:

  1. Go to App Store Connect and log in with your Apple ID.

  2. Open the Users and Access page and click on the + button.

  3. Enter the information of the new user and assign permissions to the new user:

Developer Resources

Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles

Our team will not be able to publish your apps without the Admin role and certificate access.

4. Press Invite. The email invitation will be sent to the our Product Team.

From time to time, you will receive transactional emails from Apple whenever a new app version is approved or a message from the app review team is received. You can ignore these messages as our Product Team is also receiving them and taking full care of your application publication. We'll let you know if there's anything important you need to know.
