This account is needed to publish your app live on the Apple App Store. Navigate to https://developer.apple.com/
Select the ‘Enrol’ button in the top right corner and complete the signup process.
You will be asked if you are an Individual or Company. If this is your first app and you have not yet created a business entity just yet thats fine you can start as an Individual and then you can later apply to Apple to change from an Individual to business entity.
You must have an Apple ID. If you do not have one you must create one first and you can do this by visiting https://appleid.apple.com/.
Once you have added your AppleID and completed your enrolment forms, you then need to agree to Apple’s licensing agreement and pay the £80 developer account fee that is payed yearly. (at the time of writing this document).
