Apple membership and account

From Code to Customer

Join the Apple Developer Program to reach customers around the world on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and iMessage. Membership includes all the tools, resources, and support you need to develop and distribute apps, including access to beta software, app services, testing tools, app analytics, and more.

Get the latest betas.

The incredibly rapid adoption rate of new software by Apple customers means you’ll want to integrate the latest innovative Apple technologies into your apps quickly, so they’ll seamlessly integrate with the latest advances in iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS as soon as they’re released. You’ll always be ready for what’s coming next as you create your most innovative apps ever.

Access comprehensive services.

Leverage Apple’s tightly integrated hardware, software, services, and capabilities to create useful and engaging experiences. Allow your users to subscribe to special content, experience your app in new ways using augmented reality, create intelligent features with on-device machine learning, and quickly purchase items within your app with Apple Pay, sign in to your app and website with their Apple ID, get things done with just their voice using Siri, and much more.

Test your apps.

Collect valuable feedback before releasing your apps and App Clips. With TestFlight, you can invite up to 10,000 external users to try out your beta builds using just their email address or by sharing a public link.

Distribute apps worldwide.

The App Store makes it easy for users in 175 regions to discover and download your apps, games, and extensions across Apple platforms. Apple handles worldwide payment processing, offers unlimited hosting and bandwidth — even for free apps, verifies user accounts, and much more to empower you to scale your app distribution. With Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager, you can offer your app in volume or custom apps only to organizations you specify. You can even choose to distribute your Mac apps outside the Mac App Store using your Developer ID certificate and Apple’s notarization process, which reassures users that you’re a trusted developer.

Dive deep into analytics.

Measure user engagement, marketing campaign performance, and monetization with App Store Connect, which includes information you won’t find anywhere else and requires no technical implementation.

Get help from Apple experts.

Learn how to take your apps to the next level at special events for program members. And request code-level support from technical support engineers, so you can fix a bug, implement a specific technology, and get your questions answered.

Apple Developer Enterprise Program

The Apple Developer Enterprise Program allows large organizations to develop and deploy proprietary, internal-use apps to their employees. This program is for specific use cases that require private distribution directly to employees using secure internal systems or through a Mobile Device Management solution.

Eligibility

The Apple Developer Enterprise Program is only for the internal use and distribution of proprietary apps in specific use cases that are not adequately addressed with public apps on the App Store, custom apps through Apple Business Manager or Ad Hoc distribution, or beta testing through TestFlight. Your proprietary app must be developed by you for use on Apple platforms.

In addition, the following eligibility requirements apply. Your organization must:

• Have 100 or more employees.
• Be a legal entity. We do not accept DBAs, fictitious businesses, trade names, or branches.
• Use the program only to create proprietary, in-house apps for internal use, and to distribute these apps privately and securely to employees within the organization.
• Have systems in place to ensure only employees can download your internal-use apps, and to protect membership credentials and assets.
• Participate in and pass Apple’s verification interview and continuous evaluation process.

Applying

Application

As the person applying to the Apple Developer Enterprise Program on behalf of your organization, you must have the legal authority to bind your organization to legal agreements. You must be the organization’s owner/founder, executive team member, senior project lead, or have legal authority granted to you by a senior employee. To start your application, sign in with your Apple ID with two-factor authentication turned on. If you’re already enrolled in the Apple Developer Program for distributing apps on the App Store, or have an iTunes Connect account for distributing another media type (music, TV, movies, or books), you will need to use a different Apple ID.

Verification

Verification is conducted to authenticate your organization’s information, to validate your intended use of the program, and to ensure that the App Store, Apple Business Manager, Ad Hoc distribution, or TestFlight would not adequately meet your needs. Your organization must have a D-U-N-S Number, which is a unique nine-digit number assigned by Dun & Bradstreet and widely used as a standard business identifier. You can check to see if your organization already has a D-U-N-S Number and request one if necessary. They are free in most jurisdictions. Your organization must also have a publicly available website with a domain name that’s associated with your organization. In addition, we may contact your organization to verify other details and continue to evaluate your use of the program. If you choose to renew your membership, your organization will be verified again. Apple reserves the right to reject your application at its sole discretion.

Agreement and Payment

If your organization is approved for membership in the Apple Developer Enterprise Program, you will receive the enterprise program license agreement for review and acceptance. The Apple Developer Enterprise Program is 299 USD per membership year or in local currency where available.

Getting Started

The Apple Developer Program allows you to distribute public apps on the App Store, beta versions of apps through TestFlight, and custom apps to specific businesses, including your organization, through Apple Business Manager or Ad Hoc distribution. The Apple Developer Enterprise Program is only for specific use cases that are not addressed with these options. Before applying, use the drop down below to find out which program is best for you.

What types of apps will you distribute?

Please enroll in the Apple Developer Program instead. You’ll get access to resources for public app distribution on the App Store, distribution through Apple Business Manager, Ad Hoc distribution, and beta testing through TestFlight.

Please enroll in the Apple Developer Program instead. You’ll get access to resources for custom app distribution through Apple Business Manager, Ad Hoc distribution, beta testing through TestFlight, and public app distribution. Your customer can use Apple Business Manager or redemption codes to privately distribute custom apps. (Note: If you’re an organization purchasing an app that has been customized for you, simply create an account to access the app on Apple Business Manager. You do not need to join a developer program.)

Please learn about the Apple Developer Program first. The Apple Developer Program is the right option for most organizations that want to distribute proprietary, internal-use apps. It allows you to use Apple Business Manager, Ad Hoc distribution, or redemption codes to privately distribute custom apps to employees, and TestFlight to test beta versions of your apps.

The Apple Developer Enterprise Program is only for specific use cases that cannot be addressed using these methods. Before applying for the Apple Developer Enterprise Program, learn more about the Apple Developer Program to see if it addresses your use case. If not, you can start your application.
