      How to Create an Apple Developer Account

      Set up your Apple Developer account to publish your iOS app on the App Store. This grants you control over your app's presence and ensures compliance with Apple's guidelines.

      Before you begin you will need:

      1. An Apple ID with two-factor authentication turned on. Your Apple ID must be valid & up to date – including your first name, (given name), last name (family name), address, phone number, trusted phone number and trusted devices. The Apple ID should be one that belongs to the organisation’s owner/founder, executive team member, senior project lead, or an employee with legal authority granted by a senior employee.
      2. 2. D-U-N-S Number for your organisation. You can search to see if you already have one here: https://www.dnb.com/duns-number/lookup.html or you can apply for a new number here: https://www.dnb.com/duns-number/get-a-duns.html

      Join the Apple Developer Program

      1. Log in at https://developer.apple.com with your Apple ID.
      2. Click in the header “Account" (see the red box in the screenshot below)Screenshot 2023-12-04 at 10.40.04

      4. Click on "Start Your Enrolment"
      5. Verify your email address, name and country location. Then select the account/entity type that you are going to enrol as (All apps built with Grandstand will be a Company/Organisation).
        Company/Organisation allows for multiple user logins to be created and managed with varying permissions granted for each, thus allowing you and Grandstand to manage your account after enrolment is complete.

Enrolling as a Company/Organisation requires a DUNS number registered with Dunn & Bradstreet. See earlier instructions for getting this number.Screenshot 2023-12-04 at 10.57.29
