This section describes how to set up Apple App Store and Google Play accounts needed for making your app publicly available.

Note! We strongly recommend using a shared email account (and not a personal account) for the account owner email(s). In some cases, information or functionality is only available to the account owner so it's good if several people with your organization have access.

 

Apple (iOS)

Cost for Apple account is 99 USD/year

  1. Go to https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/
  2. Read through steps for “Enrolling as an organization”
  3. Click “Start your enrollment” bottom of page
  4. When account is set up, log in to App Store Connect and invite dev@futureordering.com as admin (under “Users and Access" > "People” in the top menu)
    1. Go to Users and Acccess  in the top menu

Google Play (Android)

Cost for Google account is 25 USD, one-time fee.

Note! We recommend forwarding any emails reaching the Google Play account to support@futureordering.com as Google usually communicates with the account owner email address only (whereas Apple usually sends out an email to at least the account owner + all admin accounts).

  1. Go to https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6112435
  2. Follow steps 1-4
  3. When account is set up, invite dev@futureordering.com as admin (under “Users and Permissions” in the left menu). 
    Note! 
    1. Go to Users and Permissions in the left menu, on root level.
