Details of Whitelabel submission to Apple

Key things to remember

• The app has to be submitted to your clients Apple Developer Account, and cannot be submitted to your own or any 3rd party account

• If using a personal account the client will be required to provide evidence of business ownership, and cannot simply be an employee of that business

• An Apple developer account costs $99 USD and is payable annually directly to Apple.

• Apple developer accounts require Two Factor Authentication

• When providing authentication via the AppBuilder this lasts a maximum of 8 hours
