To publish an app on the Apple App Store, you must create an Apple Developer account. Membership to the Developer Program is £79 or $99/year and we recommend setting this to auto-renew.

You have the option to enrol to the Developer Program as an Individual or Company. Hype Burst are able to support both Developer account types, but the process for setting up is different. You can switch from an Individual to Organisation Developer account at any time.

Creating your Apple Developer account as an individual

Step 1: Head to Apple Developer website

 Head to https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/ and click 'Start Your Enrollment'. 

Step 2: Sign in using existing Apple ID or create a new Apple ID

You can either sign in using your existing ID but we recommend creating a new Apple ID with a new email used specifically for your fitness app, since you will be sharing your log in information with Hype Burst as an Individual Apple Developer account so we can upload your app. 

Step 3: Enter verification codes 

Once you have created your new Apple ID or signed in, enter the verification codes sent to your email address and phone number. 

Step 4: Read and accept T&C's

Read through and accept the Terms & Conditions and press 'Submit' once done to get to the next page. 

Step 5: Enter personal information

Enter your personal information exactly as it appears on your government-issued ID. Once you have completed, click 'Continue' in the bottom right hand corner of the page.

Step 6: Select your entity type

Select 'Individual/Sole Proprietor' and then click 'Continue'. 

Step 7: Review and accept

Step 8: Completing your purchase

We recommend to click where the arrow is pointing in the reference picture below to automatically renew your membership. This means that your app will remain available and you will be billed on an annual basis. You can go back and change this at any time. 

Step 9: Sign back in and pay 

You will be required to sign back into your Apple Developer account before completing your purchase. Once signed back in, your page should look like the reference picture below, and you can complete your purchase. 

Now that you have completed the set up and payed, you are done! You may receive an email from Apple requesting you to upload your government ID. 

You will receive a receipt from Apple from your Developer membership and then a separate confirmation email within 24-48 hours with confirmation of your Developer account. Please note that all emails from Apple will come to the Apple ID email address used to create the developer account.
