You finished creating your native iOS app and are ready to publish it in the Apple App Store?  Once your app is approved by our Review, you are almost set to submit it to Apple. Once last step to finalize: creating your Apple Developer Account. It is mandatory to do so before submitting your app. In this article we will cover all the steps necessary to create your Apple developer account (Apple Developer Program).

How to choose your Apple developer account?

The first thing you probably want to know is the price: the Apple Developer Program costs $99 per membership year. The account can be used to submit more than one application. If you have more than one application to submit, you can use the same developer account. 
In compliance with the App Store guideline 4.2.6, in order to publish an app on your developer account you must be the app final owner.

Example: for a town hall app, it must be submitted under the town hall Apple developer account . Never under the account of the employee in charge of the project or the app provider.

Go to the website Apple Developer.
Depending on your legal status, you can choose between:
- Enrolling as an individual. This one suits a personal project just fine. Just pay attention to the fact that your personal name will appear in the "Seller" field in the application profile over on the App Store.
OR
- Enrolling as an organization. If you are a company / business/ NGO/ association etc., it is advised to use this account. Its advantage is that the name of your company will appear in the App Store instead of yours. Noteworthy point to declare who is the app final owner.
