# Creating Your Developer Accounts
*If you're looking to get an app submitted to the Apple iOS and Google Play stores, we must publish the app using your organisation's developer account. This article will give you a step by step guide covering how to setup your developer accounts.*
For app packages without a Branded Native App, you can still benefit from the native experience by using our Native CrowdComms Container app.
### Apple: iOS App Store
- If you do not already have a developer account for CrowdComms to submit under, the next thing to determine whether your organisation has a [D-U-N-S number](https://developer.apple.com/support/D-U-N-S/), issued by Dun & Bradstreet. A D-U-N-S number is a requirement of Apple during the enrolment process. If you have a D-U-N-S number, you are ready to continue. If you are unsure, you can use this [easy look-up tool](https://developer.apple.com/enroll/duns-lookup/#/search) logging in with an Apple ID. If your organisation does not have a D-U-N-S, you can [register for one here](http://www.dnb.com/ca-en/duns-number.html) - as a note, this can take between 5-10 business days to receive.
- Visit [https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/](https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/) and sign in with the Apple ID you wish to use with the Apple Developer Program.
- *If you do not have an Apple ID or would prefer to use a new one, click Create Apple ID to set up a new account. You will be returned to this login screen after creating your new Apple ID.*
- Accept the Apple Developer Agreement
- You'll then be redirected to the homescreen of the Developer Centre. You'll need to click the "Join the Apple Developer Program" outlined below and then click the blue Enrol button. Alternatively, [you can click here](https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/) to finalise your enrolment.
- On the next page you'll see an overview of the options to register as an Individual or Organisation.
**You will be enrolling as an organisation.**
Read through this information and click Start Your Enrolment.
- You'll then be asked to select your Entity Type. The options are:
- Individual
- Nonprofit Organisation
- Accredited Education Institution
- Company / Organisation
- Government Organisation
*When selecting Entity Type on creation of an Apple dev account, do **not** select Individual / Sole Proprietor / Single Person Business as this will not allow you to add a secondary developer account or grant access to a third party.*
*Instead, **select Company / Organisation** regardless of it being a single person business. The cost is identical to you, however a Individual / Sole Proprietor / Single Personal Business will not be able to grant access to a third party, which is necessary for us to submit apps on your behalf.*
- You'll then be asked to agree to some terms and conditions and complete a form with information about your organisation. You'll then be asked to provide contact information, confirm your Apple ID and select whether you'd like to auto-renew your account.
- The next step will be to process your payment for your annual Developer license. This fee varies based on region.
- Once completed, you'll receive a confirmation email from Apple. Please note that the processing of your developer account is at Apple's discretion and can take between 5-7 business days.
- Once the account has been accepted by Apple, invite CrowdComms to the Developer Centre and iTunes Connect and we'll take the process from there. **Instructions for doing this can be read here.**
### Google: Play Store
- Visit [https://play.google.com/console/developers](https://play.google.com/console/developers) and login with your Google account. If you do not have a Google login or want to join the Google Play Developer program with an email address not
provided by Google, click "More Options" \> "Create Account" before proceeding.
- Continue through the registration process that Google outlines for you:
- Check that you agree to the Developer Agreement
- Then click Continue to Payment
- Google has a $25 Developer account fee. Process this payment by following the on-screen prompts.
- Enter your account information and developer account name.
