We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding.

iOS Mobile App Developer Guide

  • Updated:

This article outlines how to set up and manage a developer account with Apple.

 

Tips for Setting Up Apple Accounts

  • The person registering the accounts with Apple must have the Legal Authority to sign an agreement on behalf of the organization. Apple frequently requests written proof of that authority during the registration process. At times, this has meant the person required to set up the accounts is the town or city manager.
  • Be sure to use an email address from your organization and not a personal email address when registering.
  • The process requires setting up two-factor authentication for Apple ID. This generally requires that the person setting up the Apple ID has access to an Apple device. If you do not have access to an Apple device, you will need to contact Apple support directly and ask for a waiver of this step.

 

Create Apple Developer and App Store Connect Accounts

  1. Identify an existing Apple ID or create a new ID
    Note: The ID must be for the person who is or will be the Team Agent. The team agent is the person with the developer account Team Agent role who is responsible for entering into legal agreements with Apple, including app transfer agreements.
  2. Using the Apple ID, enroll in the developer program as an Organization.
    Note: You will need to provide details about your organization and the person being authorized as the Team Agent.
  3. Log in to App Store Connect with the Apple ID. 

 

Waiver of Annual Developer Fee

There is an annual $99 fee charged by Apple to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. Apple waives this for nonprofit organizations, accredited educational institutions, and government entities based in the United States. You may request the waiver during enrollment or if you are already a registered developer.
