Create an Apple Developer Account & Invite Thrive as Admin

Create an Apple Developer Account

To create the account, you'll need to go to https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/ but please read the rest of the information below before doing so.

Firstly, please make sure you are singing up 'as an organisation' rather than as an individual developer.

Sign up as a new developer using a generic email account rather than your own work email address. Use something that multiple people have access to, like comms@mycompany.com for example. Either way, you will still have to provide your real name as part of the enrolment process.

Enter your organisation name and address etc exactly as it appears in your company's DUNS Dun & Bradstreet profile. It's important that this information matches as Apple will use your DUNS profile to check that your details match.

If you are not sure what your DUNS number is, or exactly what your business name and address is listed as at DUNS, you can do a lookup here:

https://www.dnb.co.uk/duns-number/lookup.html

Note the above link is for UK companies, so if you're from a different country, simply google "DUNS lookup mycountry" and you'll find the appropriate D&B link for your particular country.

You will be asked to verify your account by answering some questions and submitting some documentation. Please follow all instructions on-screen to compete this process.

You will also have to pay a yearly fee of £79 directly to Apple for this account. Please set a reminder to renew the account each year.

Invite Thrive to Your Apple Developer Account

When you have received confirmation from Apple that your Apple Developer account has been created and verified, you'll need to invite Thrive to your account so that we can create and manage your app on your behalf.

Start by going to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com and log in using your Developer account details.

After you log in, click on Users and Access, then click on the blue + icon to invite a new user:

Now in the New User box that appears, enter the following details:

• First Name: James
• Last Name: Scott
• Email: developer@theappbuilder.com
• Roles: Tick 'Admin'
• Now make sure that 'Access to certificates, identifiers and profiles' and 'create apps' are ticked.
• Click Next, then click Invite

That should look like this:

After you have sent the invite, please let your Client Success Manager know so that they can log in to that account and accept the invite.
