Apple's developer account registration process

During this time, I applied for an Apple account for a friend, from the individual developer account to the group account to the company account. Here to the application process to do a brief introduction to facilitate other friends, less detours, account for the early adoption.

1. First introduce the difference between the individual developer account, the group account, and the company account:

	Use	Limit	Do you need the code	Cost (RMB)	Application Address
Personal developer Account	Used by individual developers to upload and publish apps and display personal developer information on Apptore.	1. Only one developer; 2.1 iOS devices Udid test	Whether	688	http://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/
Group account	For groups, corporate developers to upload and publish apps, show community names on Apptore.	1. Allow multiple account management; 2.1 iOS devices Udid test	Is	688	http://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/
Company account	For company publishing apps, apps that use the certificate don't need to be audited, but they can't be published to AppStore	1. Cannot be uploaded to AppStore; 2. No iOS set Udid number limit	Is	1988	https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/
Education Account	Cannot formally release the application	Apple Special approval	-----	0	https://developer.apple.com/programs/start/university/

So many options, then the problem comes ..... What kind of account is the right one to apply? (not to learn the excavator which strong ....) )

The general individual developer chooses the personal developer account, the Earth people all know, the small enterprise launches the application to be simple, uses the personal developer account, also can. If it is to focus on the Enterprise VI brand, select the group account, so you can display the company name on the Apptore, there is a picture of the truth:

Then the question comes again, the Enterprise account of God horse use?

If the application is developed for internal use only and is not intended to be used by Apppstore for everyone, then the account will be used. No need to pass the official audit, seconds to send seconds update!

For example, the enterprise released an encrypted communication tool, only for internal staff use, after the release of the previous version, suddenly found that the last version has a major bug, this time the benefits of enterprise Development Account is reflected.

And then there is another situation, the enterprise developed a Life service application, to provide company employees use, but the boss hope this application also to upload to AppStore,

So the problem is, should it be swollen?

Hehe, Enterprise account + group account will be OK Caesar.

2. DUNS Number Introduction

d-u-n-s® Number, the abbreviation for the data Universal numbering system, is a unique 9-bit digital global encoding system that is equivalent to an enterprise's identity code (like a personal identity card) and is widely used in enterprise identification, Organization and collation of business information. This number is issued by the company, each with a unique business entity, and will not be reused. In other words, a number represents a company entity. With the Dunn code, visitors can quickly acquire original, rich and high-quality information products and services.

Said so much, the publisher of the code is a company, the company needs to profit, then go to the company's application of the number of the code is sure to spend money, how much? The domestic agent to help 4000 yuan per year, cheap also to 800 yuan a year, but also do not guarantee that the code in the Apple company is available, then the problem comes again, why is not available? My brother spent money to buy a code, the result is not used in Apple, this is not a tease.

The original Apple upgraded the data, the database has added a field legal entity, and the company does not have this field of the code, can not guarantee that the code is available in Apple, so, Apple said, to code it?

Find me, click on this website for free application: https://developer.apple.com/ios/enroll/dunsLookupForm.action

Now you have to spend money to buy the children's shoes, do not be fooled.

3. Application procedure

Group account:

First, you need a https://developer.apple.com/ios/enroll/dunsLookupForm.action code, enter the information to fill in:

However, it is important to note that if the audit does not pass within one weeks, do not submit more than two times.

2). Submit Company information on http://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/page after receiving DUNS number

Wait for the Apple audit, generally 1 weeks-2 weeks, will be subject to mail, or need to confirm the information, or need to modify the information, or the best notice you pay, payment is successful, the account can be used.

This time the question comes again, we apply for the time is English information, if need to display the Chinese company name, want to swollen?

After the cost is successful, we can send an e-mail to Apple to apply for a change of the company name, but only once, after confirming the error, can display the Chinese company information in AppStore.

Finally, there is a problem, learn the excavator in the end which strong?
