Apple Developer & Signing

To build and publish iOS apps you need a paid Apple Developer Program membership (US$99/year) and a Mac with Xcode.

1. Join the program

developer.apple.com → Account → enrol. Use an Organization account if you have a company (recommended for store presence).

2. Create App IDs

Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles → Identifiers → register an App ID per app, using the bundle ids you chose:

Customer

com.yourcompany.shop

Delivery

com.yourcompany.delivery

Seller

com.yourcompany.seller

Enable the capabilities each app needs: Push Notifications, and for the Customer app also Sign in with Apple.

3. APNs key (for push)

Keys → + → enable Apple Push Notifications service (APNs).
Download the .p8 key (you can only download it once — keep it safe).
Upload it to Firebase → Project settings → Cloud Messaging, with the Key ID and your Team ID.

4. Signing (the easy way)

In Xcode → Runner target → Signing & Capabilities, tick Automatically manage signing and pick your Team. Xcode creates the certificates and provisioning profiles for you. This is the simplest path for most publishers.

🔑

Prefer manual signing or CI builds? Create a Distribution certificate and an App Store provisioning profile per App ID under Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, and select them in Xcode.

5. App Store Connect

appstoreconnect.apple.com → My Apps → + → New App.
Pick the bundle id, set name, language, SKU.
Upload a build (from Xcode Archive or Transporter), add screenshots, description and a privacy policy, then submit for review.

📝

Apple requires an accurate privacy policy and App Privacy "nutrition label" (what data you collect). Prepare these before submitting or the app will be rejected.
