Any business that wants to publish an iOS app must join the Apple Developer program. This also applies for WellnessLiving businesses looking to get started with the Achieve Client App. There are a few prerequisites for this, and this article will guide you through them.
Key tips before we begin
This procedure is done through Apple's website. For any support involving this procedure, see the Apple support center.
This procedure for enrolling as an individual is meant for businesses that are sole proprietorships or single-person companies. If your business is a corporation, you must enroll as an organization.
If your company is a corporation (Corp., Inc.), limited liability corporation (LLC, LC, Ltd. Co.), or a legal entity (GmbH, AG, KG, oHg, etc.), you can’t enroll as an individual or your app will be rejected.
If you want to list your company as the seller for your app on the App Store, you must enroll as an organization.
Apple charges a $99 (USD) annual publisher fee to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. The fee is the same whether you enroll as an individual or an organization.
