Once you have created your Apple ID, setup the Two Factor authentication, made the payment of $99, then you can upload your app on the IOS store.

“4.2.6: Apps created from a commercialised template or app generation service will be rejected.”

Apple has now made a ruling and guideline for the app developer companies:

4.2.6 Apps created from a commercialised template or app generation service will be rejected unless they are submitted directly by the provider of the app’s content. These services should not submit apps on behalf of their clients and should offer tools that let their clients create customised, innovative apps that provide unique customer experiences.

In other words: applications such as “Infirupee” are given a green light, as long as they are submitted by the owners themselves, using their own App Store account, or to use its proper name, Apple Developer account ($99) – a not - so-unfortunate side-effect for Apple.

Question : What documents are required for creating an Apple ID ?

You need following details to create the Apple ID and upload the application :

• An Apple ID that isn’t linked to a developer account
  
• D-U-N-S number (company only)
  
• Your company information (company only)
  
• A person with authority to sign legal contracts (company only)
  
• A credit card to affix the recurring fees of $99 per year
  

Duration required getting app live: - If your company needs to request a D-U-N-S number, the entire process will take 2 to 3 weeks. If you already have a D-U-N-S number or aren’t a company, the entire process usually takes about 5 business days, sometimes less. Do make sure to request an Apple Developer account a lot earlier than you want your app to go live in the App Store. If Apple rejects your request, for whatever reason, you may be in for some slow back - and - forth communication.

 Question : How to create an apple ID ?

Please find the process for CREATING AN APPLE ID

If you already have an Apple ID that isn’t linked to a developer account, you can skip this step.

You will now receive a verification code by mail. Enter it in the following popup and continue.

REQUESTING A D-U-N-S NUMBER

If your company is a one-person business, i.e sole proprietary firm, you can skip this step.

For companies and educational institutions, a D-U-N-S number is required to sign up for an Apple Developer account. 

You will need to enter some (legal) information about your business, such as address, contact information, CEO details, number of employees, etc. It’s important to note here that the legal company name you fill out for the D-U-N-S number will also be the name Apple uses for your Developer Account, and the name that will appear when you place apps in the App Store. If your company’s legal name and brand name aren’t the same, the only way to change this is by contacting Apple Support once your Developer Account has been created and approved. Normally, they will update the account name for you, free of charge.

It can take up to 14 business days before the D-U-N-S information is passed on to Apple, so don’t postpone this step.

Should your request be rejected, you will receive an email explaining the reasoning behind the decision – however, you’ll not always get an explanation of what steps are required to be approved. While you could reply directly to the rejection email, you’ll have faster results by simply calling the phone number that’s included in the email. Mention your case number and ask for a detailed explanation the steps you need to take to rectify the situation.
