Apple Developer Price: How to Start Making iOS Apps

Before applying for the membership, make sure that you meet all the criteria specified by Apple for the enterprises who wish to enroll:

• The software you will build is only for the internal usage within your organisation, not for general distribution
• You are authorised to sign your business up for the Apple Enterprise Developer Program.
• Your company is registered in the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS). If you do not have a DUNS number, you will need to get one.
• To develop iPhone apps, you need to have a Mac computer running OS X Mavericks or a later version.

To get an enterprise app developer account, you need to sign up using your Apple ID. If you already have an accounted registered for your Apple ID, we would recommend you to create a new one specifically for the enterprise use to avoid any confusion.

If you have decided to get a new account, you need to click on the “Create Apple ID” button. Then, input all the information that is required on the page. It includes the information on your name, address, password, security, billing details and so on. When you are finished, click the “Create Apple ID” button at the bottom.

Then you will be asked to verify your email address. Go to the email box you have registered with and open the email sent by Apple, where you will need to follow the instructions, clicking the “Verify Now” button and getting redirected to the Apple’s website with your verification ready. Now, you can proceed to getting your license.

Go back to the page you started with and log in using the Apple ID you have just created. Once you have accepted Apple’s terms and conditions, you can be congratulated on becoming an official Apple developer. So so not waste any more time, read the terms and check the box to accept them.

The next screen you will see will be Apple asking you to tell it about yourself. Fill all the forms and continue by clicking the “Register” button.

At the next step, you will be required to enter the information that confirms your legal authority to bind your organization to the Apple Developer Program. Do not forget that you must be an owner of the enterprise or to be authorised to register the account.

On the next page you will be asked to provide the information about your company, including the DUNS number. Make sure that your DUNS information is up to date because Apple will automatically use the address listed in the system. When you have entered all the obligatory data, you will need to review and submit the details to finalise your registration. Click “Continue” to enroll in the program. You will get the membership ID and an automated email from Apple.

However, do not get excited too soon - you will need to wait until the Apple confirms your legal authority to register your company for the program. The process can take from one to four weeks. When Apple is done, they will give you a call, asking two questions to make sure that you understand the purpose and the terms of the enterprise license. Let us remind you just one more time - you need the Enterprise Apple Developer license if you want to create iOS apps that will be distributed among the employees of your company, otherwise you will need to sign up for another program. The first question company's representative will ask you is: “How are you going to distribute your applications?” While the second is “Are you authorised to sign up for the license on behalf of your organisation?”. These questions are just a formality aimed at ensuring that you have the legal authority or you are the owner of the enterprise. If you give the correct answers, your membership query will be approved. You will receive another email with instructions on how to complete the registration.

Click the links to the Program License Agreement and accept the terms.

Then you will need to pay £249 for one year of membership. Provide your payment details and get enrolled.

You will then receive an email with the confirmation that the payment has been successfully done and the another email saying that your account has been activated.
