How to Set up Apple store account? – Step by step guidance

To submit apps to the iTunes Store/App Store you need an iOS Developer Account. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to set up this account.

Please note that with Apple’s recent change to its App Review Guidelines, it is key that apps are submitted directly by the provider of the app’s content using their own Apple Developer Account. If the app and the developer account do not match, Apple will potentially reject the app. 

Note: For this account, Apple charges an annual fee of $99. It is required by Apple to have a unique developer account for each app you submit (We recommend that the ‘team name’ will be identical as the app name).

The good news is, once you have setup your developer account, we can do the rest for you!

Once your developer account has been approved, we can submit your app to the marketplaces for you—one of the services included for those who have purchased a Swiftic app plan.
