The process of creating an Apple Developer Account made it easy to understand. Please follow the step-by-step guide from Omniful.

Submitting an app to the App Store requires membership in the Apple Developer Program, which comes at an annual cost of $99. If you haven't already, sign up for an Apple developer account. Skip the enrollment step if you already have an account, and proceed to the step 4 Inviting Omniful as a New Admin to your account.

To enroll in the developer program as a company, you'll need an Apple ID with two-factor authentication enabled. Additionally, you'll need to provide the following:

  • D-U-N-S Number

  • Legal Entity Status

  • Legal Binding Authority

  • Website

Apple mandates that business owners create their own Apple Developer account and enroll in the Apple Developer program to list their app under their company's name. Refer to Apple's Developer Guidelines section 4.2.6 for further details.

Once your developer account is set up, your app will be published under your account, granting you full control while maintaining your business' branding on the App Store listing.

The process comprises of 4 main steps as followings:

1. Apple ID & Two Factor Authentication

If you’re enrolling in your organization, you’ll need an Apple ID with two-factor authentication turned on. Apple Requires two-factor authentication to enroll your account into the Apple Developer program for security terms. It is a process that must be followed.

PS: We recommend creating a separate Apple ID different from the one used for your personal correspondence unless you already have an Apple ID for your business.

2. D-U-N-S Number Process

Your organization must have a D‑U‑N‑S Number so that Apple can verify its 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 look yours up and request one for free.

There are two likely cases about the D-U-N-S number.

  • You have it but don't know what number it is.

  • You don't have it.

If you don't know your D-U-N-S number, you can look for it here. After checking for it, if you see that you don't have a D-U-N-S number, you can learn about how to get it from here.

*Please keep that in mind that getting a D-U-N-S number will take around one week.

3. Developer Program Enrollment

Now, if you've created your Apple ID and set up two-factor authentication, let's get on to the steps for enrollment into the developer program:

C. Sign in using your Apple ID
