To enroll in the Apple Developer Program, you will need to pay a $99 (USD) annual publisher fee – charged by Apple.

Please follow the steps below to complete the Apple Developer Account Program.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Create an Apple ID.

If you already have an Apple ID, please move on to #2. Please note that creating an Apple ID is not the same as creating an Apple Developer account. Follow this link to learn how to create Your Apple ID.

*Note: If your business is a corporation (e.g., LLC, Incorporated, etc.), you must enroll as an organization. If your business is a sole proprietorship, you must enroll as an individual.

*Note: If Apple updates the license agreement for the Apple Developer Program before your Achieve Client App is assembled, you must accept the agreement before your app can be built.
