Complete these four steps below to prepare for branded mobile apps.

​
1. Enroll in the Apple Developer Program

  • Prepare an Apple Account for your organization. Create it here.
  • Get a D-U-N-S Number. Request it here.
  • Apple charges US$99 per membership year, or the local price shown during enrollment.
  • Nonprofit organizations in certain countries can have fee waivers (eligibility).
  • Enroll as an organization with an Apple Account and a D-U-N-S number here.
  • Depending on your country, the enrollment process could take up to two weeks.
Enrolling as an individual is not supported. Make sure you enroll as an organization with a D-U-N-S number. Joining the Apple Developer Program as an organization requires you to have the authority to enter into legal agreements with Apple on behalf of your organization. A sole proprietor/single-person business can not enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an organization.

​
2. Prepare your Apple Developer account for the new app submission

Apple requires developers to provide trader status to submit new apps or app updates for distribution in the European Union. To comply with the Digital Services Act, trader status is needed. Follow these steps to submit it: ​
  1. Go to the Business section in your Apple Developer account.
  2. Press Complete Compliance Requirements at the top > choose your trader status and proceed with the following steps on the screen.
Refer to Apple’s documentation to understand what your trader status is.

​
3. Invite us to your Apple Developer account

For us to submit your app under your Apple Developer Account and maintain it, we need to be invited as administrators to your App Store Connect account. Follow the steps to send the invite:
  1. Go to App Store Connect and log in with your Apple Account.
  2. Open the Users and Access page and click on the + button.
  3. Enter the information of the new user and assign permissions to the new user:
Our team will not be able to publish your apps without the Admin role and certificate access.
  1. Click Invite to email the invitation to Rntor’s publishing team.
From time to time, you will receive transactional emails from Apple whenever a new app version is approved or a message from the app review team is received. You can ignore these messages as our Product Team is also receiving them and taking full care of your application publication. We’ll let you know if there’s anything important you need to know.

​
4. Generate an App Store Connect API key

On a desktop, follow Apple’s API-key instructions:
  1. Open Users and Access > Integrations > App Store Connect API > Team Keys.
  2. Click Generate API Key or +, name the key, choose Admin, then click Generate.
  3. Click Download API Key to save the .p8 file. Apple allows one download; store it securely.
  4. Record the Key ID and Issuer ID shown on the page.
Use a key with the Admin role. Rntor does not accept keys with lower access. Replace a lower-role key with an Admin key and revoke the old one.

After granting access, enable I have granted access, enter your Entity name and Team ID from Membership Details in Apple Developer, and click Continue. For a new app, continue with app setup and submit the .p8 file, Key ID and Issuer ID with the remaining details. If your iOS app is already published, open Network settings > Member mobile app as an owner, click Continue, upload the .p8 file, enter Key ID and Issuer ID, then submit.
