Want to buy a dev account

So im looking to buy a $99 ios dev account and i might make apps or not. My question is if i do buy a dev account do i HAVE to put apps through the verifaction proceess or is it if i want to or not? Also if i do put apps is it possible to change what company the apps come from?

The $99 is mostly for access to the app store. If you aren't sure if you want to use the app store, there is no point in spending the $99.
However, there is little point in trying to sell software on your own. It is a thoroughly displeasurable task and you will never find a better deal than what Apple gives you.
If you have downloaded any apps from the app stores, you should realize that the verification process is not that difficult. Supposedly it is now possible to transfer apps from one company to another. I haven't done it. https://developer.apple.com/news/

  • How old do you need to be to get a dev account?

    I want to get a dev account with the money I've saved up to summit my app to the apps store for iOS. I'm 13 right now and what I've read on other sites is that you need to be 13 to have one but you need to be 18 to have a credit card. What I want to so is create a new Apple ID for the dev account. Well I already have my debit card on the account but I have no idea what age i have on the account as I think it used to be my dads but I'm not completely sure. So what does this mean about not having a card on the account?

    Doesn't matter. You must be 18 before you can enter into the contracts that are needed to apply. After five years, you can ask to transfer those apps into your account, I think...if that process still exists then.

  • Why is it that when i want to buy something and i have money from an iTunes card on my account, it says its going to debit my purchase?

    the numbers turn out grey next to my apple id and i wanted to buy i song but it said my account was going to be debited when i have $25 still on my iTunes acct from an iTunes gift card!

    Contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Account Management>The topic is not listed.

  • Apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.

    It's real easy to create a new one and, in fact, it's too easy.  I say that because multiple IDs are a PIA.  The problem is that anything obtained from the iTunes Store is PERMANENTLY associated with the ID that was used to obtain the item(s).  iTunes items can not be transferred from one ID to another and IDs can not be merged.
    The problem arises when you want to update an app.  If you're doing it from iTunes on your computer, you must log out and back in to get to the correct ID.  Then you update and log out/in again to get back to where you started.  It's slightly easier if you update from the iPad/iPod device as there is no need to log out/in BUT you still need the correct password for the appropriate ID.  Of course, with a disabled ID, the problem is much worse!
    A replacement Apple ID makes sense ONLY if you wish to start out absolutely brand new with zero iTunes Store purchases.
    If you're really butting your head aginst a wall and you're reasonably close to an Apple Store, my suggestion is that you make an appointment with the resident "Genius" and get his/her help.
    One last thought...  If your brother actually got a human on the phone to dispute the charges, go there and explain the problem.  Of course, if Apple did not accept his explanation of what occurred, that could be the whole issue.  Apple believes that money is owed on the account!

    Hi
    I have a Macbook air & iPhone 4.
    what do I need to do if I want to buy a book (ebook) or an application that is not available in the iTunes store in my area i.e. Africa (Egypt)?
    Do I need to open a different account in the iTunes store in the other area i.e. USA ?
    Please advice
    Thank you

    You can only buy content from your own country's store i.e. the Egyptian store if you are in Egypt - you need to be in a country to use its store, so to use the US store you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account. If there is an app or any other item that you would like to be buy that isn't currently available in the Egyptian store then you can try requesting that it be added, but unless the app's developer or rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

    Heya Katie!!
    So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
    But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
    When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
    Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
    And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

  • I want to buy my 2 children a iPad each, will they be able to share apps, music etc if they both have different accounts?

    I want to buy my 2 children a iPad each, will they be able to share apps, music etc if they both have different accounts?

    Only if you have one iTunes account on one computer and then they sync their iPad to that same computer. Make sure that each iPad is named different. And then each can share the same apps or not share as they wish.

  • I want to change my iCloud account. Buying iPad we gave a virtual (forwarding) email addr. We need to change to a real address. But when we try to change the iCloud account, we can only change the password. Note: we don't have Mac, only iPad and Windows.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.

    Dear sir,

    You can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it

  • Two hotmail account, 1 want to use, other has the dev account?

    I have two hotmail accounts (a .com and a .co.uk).  I've been using the .com one fine and its registered as a dev account (for mobile 8 - it would appear that it isn't for windows apps) but pretty much all my actual stuff I (personal) use is on my .co.uk
    account.
    My windows 8 phone was registered under the .com and today I've reset it so that I can use it with my .co.uk account.
    Now I want to install the developer app with it, but I can't as the .co.uk account isn't a developer account.  I went to set up the .co.uk account as a dev account but I can't see a way to link it to the .com  
    Logged into .com account and it appears that although its a win mobile 8 dev account, its not a windows app dev account. (been about a year since I last did anything so likely things have changed). Going through this process looks like the .com account is
    also looking for the £12 registration fee (same as the .co.uk) but I do not want to pay twice when I just want to use the publisher ID from one account and make the .co.uk account let me get the dev preview for my win mobile.
    If I have to set up two separate publisher accounts then fine, but I'd rather not. Long winded, but hopefully someone can advise.

    You don't have to use the same ID for iCloud as you do for purchasing.  You can just set up iCloud using your other ID. 
    If your have already have another account, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted, set up your new account with the other ID, turn on your iCloud data syncing and when prompted, choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.
