Enroll in the Apple Developer Program

Introduction

Ready Education will upgrade multiple features in our product suite to offer our customers the most up-to-date, innovative, and stable product. To take advantage of the latest releases and updates, it is required that your Campus App be hosted in your Apple Account, for which your institution will need to enroll in Apple Developer Program as an Organization.

Apple now requires you to publish your campus app under your developer account.
