The Apple Developer Program lets you create your own iOS app and publish it on the App Store for iOS users. According to Apple"s policies and guidelines, you will need to create your own developer account so that your App can be published for iOS users.

One of the advantages of setting up a developer account is that you will have more control over your app development , and it will also boost the branding of your business on the App Store listing because your App subsists under your own developer account.

Get your organization"s info together:

It will be convenient for you if you collect some information relating to your organization prior to getting started with the application process of your developer account.

An Apple device:

You will need two apple devices because two-factor authentication is required by Apple.

An Apple ID:

You have to create an Apple ID. You might have one already, but if you don"t have one, you can do so here.

Your D-U-N-S (Dun & Bradstreet) number:

You must have your company D-U-N-S number because you will not be able to apply for developers" accounts without it.

If your company doesn"t have this number, then you can sign up for the number. It takes probably two weeks to get a new number.

A legal entity status:

pple only gives developer accounts to the legal entities, which means you cannot use branch, a DBA or trade name for applying developers account.

Legal binding authority:

The individual who is applying on behalf of you for your developer account must have the authority to legally bind your company.
