Apple App Setup

Apple is requiring organizations to have their own Apple account to maintain their app and pay the yearly membership fee of $99 unless you are a non-profit in which case the fee is waived.

This is just a ploy to increase profits by having the customer pay a yearly fee to keep it available.  Therefore please follow the steps below on creating an Apple Membership and read all steps before starting.

Non-Profits

If you are a non-profit, school or government entity, you can waive the $99 yearly membership fee from Apple.  Please do not pay the Apple membership fee if you go this route.

Apple Developer Account Setup

1. Login with existing Apple ID or create a new Apple ID. You can use your existing Apple ID.
2. Once you are logged in start the enrollment process BUT choose Company / Organization or Government Organization for the Entity Type, NOT INDIVIDUAL.  We won't move forward with an individual account if you do so.

Note: Apple requires us to submit apps under a company account, not a personal, individual name.

DUNS number troubleshooting

If you run into issues with Apple accepting your DUNS number you received please contact Apple about the error you are receiving with your DUNS number and wait for their reply on what next steps are.
