Apple

Part 1) Create an Apple ID

An Apple ID needs to be created. This Apple ID will be the Apple account used to apply for your developer account permissions. We recommend creating an Apple ID named after your organization rather than an individual person.  

1. 1. Go to https://appleid.apple.com/account ;

   2. Fill in the fields. You need to use an email and phone that you have access to in order to complete the Apple ID setup and enrollment process. Verification codes will be sent by email and phone.

      1. You should use a group email instead of a personal email to allow for multiple representatives to have access if necessary. Something like admin@yourcompany.com.

   3. As mentioned above, this Apple ID will represent your organization. We recommend that you use a First and Last Name that represents the entity who owns your dispensary. Such as first name "My Dispensary" and last name "LLC". For the birthday, use something that makes the account be 18+ years old.

      1. You will add your personal contact information later when submitting the Apple Developer application

   4. (Optional) Want to give 2FA access to more users? Add additional phones to your Apple ID here: https://appleid.apple.com/#!&page=signin .

      

Part 2) Enroll in the Development Program

1. Go to https://developer.apple.com/enroll/ and login with the previously created Apple ID.

2. Accept terms and conditions.

3. Enter the personal details of the individual that will be responsible for the enrollment process. This person may be contacted via phone call or email to confirm they have the authority in your organization to confirm a legal agreement with Apple.

4. Select your entity type as a company/organization (Different from screenshot).

5. Fill the name of your Legal Entity and the DUNS number. This should be the entity that the DUNS number is registered under.

6. Fill the organization information and in which capacity the person that is registering the organization is acting on - full autonomy or delegated powers.

   

   1. Pick full autonomy (I am the owner/founder and have the authority...) and you will not need to provide a reference contact that validates if you are mandated to complete the process. We recommend this option.

      

   2. If you select delegated powers (My organization has given me the authority...), you will need to provide a reference to a person in the company that can attest to delegating powers to you. Apple will call the reference to verify. 

      

7. Confirm all the information and submit. Take a note of the enrollment ID for future reference.

8. Apple's verification process takes approximately 2-3 business days. They will send an update to the email on your Apple ID when completed.

   1. You can also check your status on the developer homepage linked here. 

9. Once accepted, an email will be sent with instructions to complete the enrollment by paying the annual developer fee of $99.

   1. We recommend enabling auto-renew when entering payment information to ensure your account doesn't expire in a year
