Set Up Your Apple Developer Account For Your Branded App

Your branded app is published on the App Store under your business name, from your own Apple Developer account. Apple requires this for every branded app, and it means the app belongs to you.

You complete a one-time setup of about 30 minutes, and Gymflow builds, submits and updates your app for you from then on.

Check the Prerequisites

Your business must be a registered legal entity, such as a limited company or LLC, to hold an Apple organisation account. If you aren't a registered legal entity, you'll need to use the Gymflow Members app instead and we'll switch your plan to the lower rate.

You'll also need:

• A public website on your business's own domain.

• A business email address on that domain.

• Authority to sign agreements for the business, for example as the owner or a director.

Recommended: use a shared business inbox for your Apple Account, such as apps@yourgym.com, rather than a personal email. That way you never lose access if someone leaves your business.

Get a D-U-N-S Number

Apple uses a D-U-N-S number to verify your business. It's free and can take up to 5 business days.

1. Go to Apple's D-U-N-S lookup.

2. Search for your business to see if you already have a number.

3. If you don't, follow the steps to request one.

Create Your Apple Account

1. Go to account.apple.com.

2. Sign up with your business email address.

3. Turn on two-factor authentication.

Enrol in the Apple Developer Program

Apple usually takes 3–5 business days to verify an organisation.

1. Go to developer.apple.com/programs/enroll.

2. Sign in with your business Apple Account.

3. Choose Organisation, not Individual.

4. Enter your D-U-N-S number and business details.

5. Pay the $99 annual fee when Apple asks.

Accept Apple's Agreements

1. Sign in to App Store Connect.

2. Go to Business.

3. Accept all pending agreements, including EU trader details if shown.

Invite Gymflow as Admin

1. In App Store Connect, go to Users and Access.

2. Click +.

3. Enter hello@gymflow.io.

4. Select the Admin role.

5. Tick Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.

6. Click Invite.

Turn On API Access

API access lets us release your app updates automatically. Only the Account Holder can turn it on.

1. In App Store Connect, go to Users and Access > Integrations.

2. Click Request Access.

3. Accept the terms, then click Submit.

Send Us Your Team ID

1. Go to developer.apple.com/account.

2. Copy your Team ID from Membership details.

3. Send it to your onboarding contact.

Understand What Happens Next

We build your app, submit it to Apple, and let you know as soon as it's live, usually within a few days of receiving your Team ID. Until then, your members can use the Gymflow Members app.

Keep Your App Live

• Accept new Apple terms when Apple emails you about them. App updates are blocked until you do.

• Renew your membership each year. If it lapses, Apple removes your app from the App Store.

• Never share your Apple password. We only need the Admin invitation.

If you get stuck on any step, contact your onboarding contact and we'll walk you through it on a short call.
