How to apply for a contract

-------------------------------------------------------------

If you're going to sell apps on itunes, you'll need to apply for a contract with Apple. The following figure:

You can apply for the iOS Paid applications (paid application contract) and IAD network (AD contract) after you click here to apply for the contract page. Their application process is basically the same. We take the IAD contract as an example, click on the Request button to the right of the list, read the agreement before signing in the new page, click Agree and continue.

Check your registered mailbox, you will receive a mail from do_not_reply@apple.com, email attachment is a PDF containing the terms of the contract, read carefully, you can go back to the itunes Connect contract page to continue to complete the application process.

As pictured, the rightmost status in the list is the current contract status, as shown in the figure as pending Tax, contact, meaning the tax rate information and contacts information are not filled in. Because I have applied for a paid application contract before, have already filled out a bank information, otherwise the status shown here should be pending Tax, bank, contact.

Fill in the bank information

Click on the Bank's setup button in the list to enter the edit page of the banking information.

First select China in the Drop-down list, then click Next

The new page needs to enter the bank's Cnaps (National Automatic Payment System) code, which is China's bank-connected pay system number, which every bank has. The following figure, click Up your bank, you can query your bank information.

In the next bank query system, you can retrieve your account bank information by bank name, city, and post code (Zip), and each query condition can specify start with (starting with a keyword) or contains (included). For example, to inquire about a branch of Bank of China in Beijing, select Start with in Bank name and fill in "bank"; Fill out "Beijing" in the city, and you can list the names of all the banks in Beijing that start with "bank".

Select your bank from the list and click Next. So cnaps code will be automatically filled in, you just need to fill in the next page account information.

As shown in the bank account number and confirm bank accounts, enter a password, in account Holder name, enter the name of the accounts holder (Hanyu Pinyin), pay attention to the use of Hanyu Pinyin, and must be the Passbook or the name of the bank card holder, and finally in the bank account currency fill in the money unit. This will complete the bank information.

Contact person Fill in

In the contract list, click the contact information corresponding Setup button to enter the contacts fill out the page. Contact to fill out relatively simple, click Create New person to create a contact, and then specify what the contact is the identity, as shown in the figure, can be designated as senior managers (Senior Manager), Finace (finance), Technical (technical support), Legal (Legal department), promotions (market promotion) and so on. If you are a personal account, then use all of your own.

Fill in the tax information

Clicking on tax's corresponding setup in the contract list is the tax information (my biggest headache), but it's not a no-brainer for developers in general in mainland China.

Select the type of tax on the first page first. As shown in figure:

If you are a Canadian developer, click the setup below Canada Tax forms, or if you want to sell apps in the Japanese app Store, notice that there is a row of small print for developers residing outside of the Japan who want To sell apps in the Japan App Store, learn more about optional Japanese tax forms. Click Learn to learn more about the tax information related to the Japanese app store. If you are not both, click the Setup button below U.S Tax forms to go to the next page.

The next page is a multiple-choice question that asks if you are a U.S. taxpayer. The following paragraph of the question describes two conditions that are considered to be American taxpayers:

1 You are currently a legitimate and permanent American citizen.

2 You have lived in the United States for 31 days this year, and have been living in the United States for 183 days in this year, last year and the previous three years.

Match one of these two conditions, select Yes, or select No. Then continue.

The next page is still a multiple-choice question that asks if you have any business activities in the United States. If you have employees in the United States, or if you have equipment (or rental equipment) that is profitable in the United States, then you choose Yes, or no, continue.

The last page is easy to choose, you are the type of beneficiary (if you choose Individual/sole Proprietor), and finally confirm your name and address (Sir, Madam, or position), you can click to complete the tax information.

In this way, the process of applying for the contract is completed, the next 1-3 days can be the landing page to view (I did not receive an email notification), if the application is successful, the contract will be moved to the contracts in effect list, so that your contract will be effective.

How to manage applications

------------------------------------------

You can manage all of the apps you've created in itunes Connect, including giving applications a name, adding thumbnails, adding descriptive text, and specifying prices.

First click on the Manage Your applications in itunes connect to access the application's admin interface.

Create an application

If you create a new application, click the Add New App button in the upper-left corner of the page and go to the Create page, as shown.

Note: All the information here should be filled in English.

App Name: Name of application

SKU number:stock Keeping unit, item number. If you have many applications, assigning a unique item number to each application will help you manage the application library. You can use numbers or letters to casually specify your item number.

Bundle ID: This is a very critical setting that concerns whether your application can be posted to the store normally. Here you will see a drop-down list of all the app IDs created in the developer's licensing system description. Select the app ID you want to add, and then in the expanded bundle ID suffix, fill in the bundle ID (such as com.jamesli.stanley2) in that domain format, note: This bundle ID Suffix must be identical to the bundle ID created in the developer authorization system, otherwise the application file cannot be uploaded correctly. Confirm the correct and then click the Continue button, otherwise the application can not go back after the save to modify this value, only remove the app to add again.

Price to apply

The next step is to price the application. As shown in Availabilities date, select the effective time for the application, and then select the price you intend to sell in the Drop-down list below, and click See Pricing Matrix for all the price criteria. If you choose not free, you must have an iOS Paid app contract in effect, or you will need to apply for a contract in the upper part of this article.
