GETTING STARTED

In 2018, Apple changed their review guidelines and now require mobile app owners to publish branded event apps to the App Store under their own Apple Developer Accounts.
 

Rest assured, StaffConnect will still handle submitting the event app under your account, but there are some steps that you'll need to take to get the ball rolling.












To get started: An Apple ID is required to use Apple Services. If you don't have an Apple ID, you can click here to create one. You will not be able to proceed until this step is done.

Please keep in mind the Apple Developer account costs around $99 per year. Some Nonprofit organizations qualify to have this fee waived by Apple.  See if your Nonprofit is eligible here

ENROLL

To enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an organization, you’ll need your Apple ID as well as a
D-U-N-S number. You can acquire a D-U-N-S number here.
By joining the Apple Developer program you will enter into contracts with Apple, so you must have the ability to enter legal agreements on behalf of your organization.

Enroll in the Apple Developer Program.

To start the enrollment for the Apple Developer Program, visit this page and select the “start your enrollment” option at the bottom of the page.

Login to the developer section with your Apple ID.

After logging in, you will be prompted to accept the Apple Developer Agreement in order to proceed.

Proceed to the next screen and page fill out your organization’s information, agree to the legal agreements and then select the purchase button.

That’s it! You now have a fully functioning Developer account with Apple!
