Creating an iOS Developer Account: Step-by-step guide


Please note that with Apple’s recent change to its App Review Guidelines, it is key that apps are submitted directly by the provider of the app’s content using their own Apple Developer Account.

Also, please note: if possible, create accounts for a legal entity, not for an individual. It's still possible to go with an individual account, but Apple does not invite other people to the Developer Account, so we'll need access to your Apple Account, and it's better to create a new one only for managing your App. Anyways it's much easier with a corporate account.
​
If the app and the developer account do not match, Apple will potentially reject the app.
​

According to Apple, what you need before you enroll is:

  • Enrolling as an Organization
    If you’re enrolling your organization, you’ll need an Apple ID as well as the following to get started:

  • A D-U-N-S® Number
    Your organization must have a D-U-N-S Number so that we can verify your organization’s identity and legal entity status. These unique nine-digit numbers are assigned by Dun & Bradstreet and are widely used as standard business identifiers. You can check to see if your organization already has a D-U-N-S Number and request one if necessary. They are free in most jurisdictions.

  • Legal Entity Status
    Your organization must be a legal entity so that it can enter into contracts with Apple. We do not accept DBAs, fictitious businesses, trade names, or branches.

  • Legal Binding Authority
    As the person enrolling in your organization in the Apple Developer Program, you must have the legal authority to bind your organization to legal agreements. You must be the organization’s owner/founder, executive team member, senior project lead, or have legal authority granted to you by a senior employee.

Creating an iOS Developer account

  1. First, go to https://developer.apple.com/enroll and click "Start your Enrollment'. Sign in using your Apple ID (or create an Apple ID if you do not have one yet).

2. Go over the Apple Developer Agreement, check the box confirming that you have read it, and click on 'Submit.'
​

3. Confirm that all your information is correct (email, name, location), then choose an entity. Please read Apple's explanation of entities below before you make a choice.
​

Explanation from Apple:
The Developer name listed on the App Store is based on the type of account selected from the options below. Apps published to Individual Developer Accounts will display the name listed on the iOS Developer Account. Apps published to Company/Organization Developer Accounts will display the Company Name entered within the iOS Developer Account.
​
‼️PLEASE BE AWARE YOU NEED Company/Organization type for GURUCAN‼️
​

Entities:

  • Individual/Sole Proprietor/Single Person Business: Individuals or companies without an officially recognized business (company without a Dun and Bradstreet number). This account only allows for a single primary login to be created to the iOS Developer Account.

  • Company/Organization: Legally recognized Companies with a Dun and Bradstreet number can select this option. This will allow multiple user logins to be created and managed with varying permissions capabilities for each login. See here to check if your company is a legally recognized company with a Dun and Bradstreet (DUNS) number.
