Getting Your Apple Developer Account
If you haven't already done so, please apply for an Organizational Developer account with Apple. This is required to have an iOS app in Apple's App Store - here's more on why this is a requirement. There is a $99 annual fee, but this is waived for government agencies that publish apps that are free to download.
