Create/Connect an Apple developer Account
Due to Apple’s new policies, you must have your own Apple Developer Account (for $99/year) in order to publish your app on iTunes. This means that your app will be published under your name, and not through bobile.
This document will explain how to create your Apple Developer Account.
If you already have an account that is set up as Company/Organization, you can scroll down and start directly from step 2 (“Assign bobile as an agent to your App Connect account”)
If you already have an account and it’s set up as an individual, please contact Apple support and ask them to change it to Company/Organization:
Phone support: +1-800-633-2152
When your account is changed to Company / Organization, go back to this tutorial and start following the instructions from step 2 (“Assign bobile as an agent to your App Connect account”).
If you don’t have an Apple developer account yet, please follow the instructions and create your own Apple developer account:

If you’re the owner of the company, enter your organization information as it appears in your Dun & Bradstreet profile.
Type the characters in the captcha and click Continue.
