What is the Apple Developer Program?

The Apple Developer Program is Apple’s membership for distributing apps on the App Store. It costs $99/year and gives you access to:
  • Publishing apps to the App Store and TestFlight
  • App Store Connect for managing your app listings, builds, and submissions
  • Code signing certificates and provisioning profiles
  • Access to beta versions of iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms
You need an active Apple Developer Program membership to upload your app to the App Store through a0.dev.
