Application Publishing
We manage the testing and release of your apps to the iOS and Google Play app stores on your behalf in order to enable the rapid release of new features and drive innovation on the platform.
Google Play Developer Console:
We will upload and manage your Android apps. Android applications are uploaded under mscripts account “Medrefill”.
Apple Development program and iTunes Connect:
Please follow the directions for giving us access to manage your iOS (Apple) apps based on your current status.
- If your organization does not have any apps in the app stores:
You must create both an Apple Developer Program account and iTunes Connect account and make mscripts an Administrator.
- If your organization has app accounts but this is your first mscripts app:
Please make us an Administrator for both Apple Developer Program and iTunes Connect.
To enroll in the Apple Developer program, you’ll need the following required information:
- D-U-N-S® number.
- Legal entity name.
- Headquarters Phone number.
- Website.
- You must have the ability to enter into legal agreements on behalf of your organization.
- Verification contact (The contact information of an employee at your organization who can verify your signature authority).
What is D-U-N-S® Number?
Your organization must have a D-U-N-S number so that we can verify your organization’s identity and legal entity status. These unique nine-digit numbers are assigned by Dun & Bradstreet and are widely used as standard business identifiers. You can check to see if your organization already has a D-U-N-S Number and request one if necessary. They are free in most jurisdictions.
Multi-banner Chains
For multi-banner chains with more than one brand, we HIGHLY recommend that you create an account for each branded banner. You will need all of the required information above (DUNS number, legal entity name, phone, website, etc.) for each banner. If possible, please provide a verification contact email with a corporate email address that corresponds to the banner rather than to the corporate umbrella organization. (For example, if the banner is called Awesome Store and the corporate umbrella is called XYZ Enterprises, the employee’s email should be employee@awesomestore.com.)
We ask you to set up your Apple accounts in this manner because Apple can sometimes reject applications in the app store if they suspect it violates their templated app guidelines, as defined in section 4.2.6 of their Developer Guidelines.
Once you have all of the above, follow these steps to enroll in the Apple Developer program.
1) Apple ID
First, create an Apple Id at the following website - https://appleid.apple.com/account#!&page=create
(Note your Apple ID and password and be sure this information is stored at your organization, so that even if you are not available, someone from your organization can access the account at all times.)
2) Apple Developer program
Then, enroll in the Apple Developer program at https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/
- Choose entity type: Company / Organization (as seen below).
