In App Store you can download various mobile applications for iPhone/iPad devices, and use them paying subscription fee or free of charge.
Apple Developer Program developer account is needed by a mobile app developer to publish and monetize their applications in the App Store, where iPhone users can find them, download them, and, if desired, purchase a paid subscription. It is only possible to place a mobile application in the App Store through a verified Apple developer account with a paid 1-year subscription. An Apple Developer Account can be registered to an individual or a company.
For professional developers, it is preferable to register a corporate Apple Developer account (Company/Organization), since this allows you to indicate the company name in the AppStore as the creator of the application instead of the first and last name (as in case of an account for an individual). In addition, in legal terms, a corporate account has more "weight", as well as better opportunities to defend intellectual property rights in the event of litigation. As the developers themselves note, a corporate account is more "strong" and is less likely to be banned by Apple for minor offenses.
Today, the main problem in registering and renewing an Apple Developer Program account is to pay for the annual subscription to the developer program. Recently, many developers have faced the practical impossibility of making an annual payment for an Apple Developer Account using the payment methods they have at their disposal. Apple support cannot give clear instructions on how to solve the problem and delays the process in every possible way. Also, many users have difficulty obtaining the D-U-N-S number of the organization, which is required to verify the corporate account of the Apple developer.
