Introduction
To submit your new campus app to the Apple App Store, your institution will need to enroll in the Apple Developer Program and add Ready Education as an admin. Once Ready Education has been added as an admin, we will be able to submit the app and publish all updates on your behalf.
This article will walk you through the necessary steps to complete this process.
Please note: If your institution is already enrolled in the Apple Developer Program, please ensure you have access to the associated Apple ID and the ability to invite new developers to the account. If you're unsure if your institution has an account, or don't know who has the Apple ID, you will need to reach out to Apple Support: https://developer.apple.com/contact
The sections in this article are as follows:
1) Creating an Apple ID through the Apple Developer Program
2) Enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an Accredited Educational Institution
3) Adding Ready Education as an App Store Connect Admin
Creating an Apple ID through the Apple Developer Program
To create an Apple Developer Program account, you will first need an Apple ID. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one using an existing email address associated with your institution. We recommend using an email address that multiple people can access, such as your support or IT team email. To create an Apple ID, please follow the below steps:
1. Navigate to: https://developer.apple.com/account/ [Figure 1]
a) Click ‘Create Apple ID’ to create a new Apple ID
Figure 1: Apple Developer Sign In Page
2. You are redirected to the ‘Create Your Apple ID’ page [Figure 2]
a) Fill in the required fields and click ‘Continue’
b) A 6-digit verification code will be sent to you via email. Enter the code in the pop-up that opens. Please note: this code will expire three hours after the email was sent.

3. You are redirected to the ‘Apple Developer Agreement’ page [Figure 3]
a) Read the agreement and check the ‘By checking this box I confirm that I have read and agree to be bound by the Agreement above’ box
b) Click ‘Submit’

4. You are redirected to the ‘Getting Started’ page [Figure 4]

Enrolling in the Apple Development Program as an Accredited Educational Institution
Once you have created an Apple ID you can enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Accredited Educational Institution.
In addition to an Apple ID, you will require the following to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an organization:
- DUNS Number
- Legal Entity Status
- Legal Binding Authority
- Trusted iOS device to setup two-factor authentication
DUNS Number
The DUNS Number is a unique nine-digit number that identifies business entities on a location-specific basis. Assigned and maintained by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), the DUNS Number is widely used as a standard business identifier. Your institution most likely has a DUNS Number, as they are used for many other purposes, such as applying for research grants.
Ready Education will supply you with your DUNS number. If we have not, please contact your Customer Success Manager. DUNS numbers can also be looked up here: https://www.dnb.com/duns-number/lookup.html (or https://www.dnb.com/ca-en/duns-number/lookup.html for institutions in Canada).
Legal Entity Status
Your institution must be a legal entity to enter into a contract with Apple.
Legal Binding Authority
As the person enrolling your institution in the Apple Developer Program, you must have the legal authority to bind your institution to legal agreements. You must be the institution’s owner/founder, executive team member, senior project lead, or have legal authority granted to you by a senior employee.
Two-Factor Authentication
You will require a Trusted iOS device (iPhone or iPad) to setup two-factor authentication. You can use a personal device, however, you will need to log out of your personal iCloud account and login with your newly created institution Apple ID. Full details are available in the ‘Two Factor Authentication’ section below.
