Note: Effective October 16, 2024, all app developers listed in the App Store must declare a trader status to comply with the European Union (EU) Digital Services Act. You must decide if you wish to declare as a trader with the EU App Store to continue submitting updates to your existing app or create a new app. Click here to learn more.
Finalizing the Enrollment
Tip: If you have any difficulties or questions while setting up your Apple Developer account, please visit Apple’s Support page.
- Once Apple accepts your application, you will receive an email with the subject “Continue your Developer Program enrollment.”
- Review and accept the “Program License Agreement.” For help, see here.
- After completing Apple’s enrollment, navigate to your Apple Developer account.
- On the left side of the screen, select the Membership tab.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and check the box labeled Auto-Renew Membership.
Note: If you are unable to auto-renew your membership, please reach out to Apple Support.
- The Automatic Program Membership Renewal form will appear. Check the box at the bottom of the form, then click Submit to accept the terms.
