Getting an Apple Developer account
As you have seen in earlier chapters, all you need to test your app on a device is a free Apple ID. But the apps will only work for a few days, and you will not be able to add advanced features such as Sign in with Apple or upload your app to the App Store. For that, you need a paid Apple Developer account. Follow these steps to purchase an Individual/Sole Proprietorship Apple Developer account:
- Go to https://developer.apple.com/programs/ and click on the Enroll button.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Start Your Enrollment.
- Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.
- On the Trust this browser? screen, click Trust only if you are the only person using this browser, otherwise, click Not Now. This is to safeguard your account information.
- Click Continue enrollment on the web >.
- On the Confirm your personal information screen, enter your personal information and click Continue when done. ...
