Developer Account Requirements
Most major platforms require a paid developer account and strict identity verification.
Apple App Store: Requires an Apple Developer Program membership ($99/year). You must provide a legal name, contact details, and for organizations, a D-U-N-S number.
Google Play Store: Requires a one-time $25 registration fee. Effective September 2026, Google will mandate developer verification for all Android apps (including sideloaded ones) in certain regions like Brazil and Indonesia, rolling out globally in 2027.
* Technical Submission Requirements
Apps must be built using current development kits to ensure security and performance.
Apple (as of April 2026): Apps must be built with the iOS/iPadOS 26 SDK or later. WatchOS apps must include 64-bit support.
Google Play (as of August 2025/2026): New apps must target Android 15 (API level 35) or higher. First-time publishers on personal accounts must also have their app tested by at least 20 people for two weeks before they can apply for production access

App Information: Name (30-char limit for Apple), subtitle, and a detailed description (up to 4,000 chars).

Financial & Tax Setup
If you are selling a "Paid" app or using In-App Purchases:
Banking: You must link a bank account and provide tax information (a U.S. tax form is mandatory for all Apple developers).
Commerce Laws: In regions like the Philippines, the Internet Transactions Act requires online merchants to be registered with local authorities (e.g., DTI or SEC) and issue official receipts.
We might not sell into certain countries that require too much. One example is Philippines where I live as an American Citizen.
* App must have ways to pay. I do not think we need credit cards but I am not sure. There is many ways buyers of the app can pay. We will figure this out.
It is BEST if you have ALREADY DONE all to have an app selling on Google Play and Apple
