The DUNS thing is a real pain.. I'd never heard of it until I applied for my Apple Developer account and it seemed to take ages to be delivered.
That process could be seriously improved to give most people their details online. I don't remember having to upload personal ID's though, maybe that's something new?
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

I had to check the URL a few times because it felt so wrong.
It was an apple URL in my apple dev account and it was secured with SSL so I guess it was real.
It really felt quite intrusive.

I disagree. None of the things he has had to do for Apple so far say anything about the security or quality of the app that he is wanting to submit to the store, which in the end, is all that actually matters.
It has mostly just been time-wasting hoops that they are making him jump through.

The differences in the levels of malware apps between the stores indicates that they're potentially doing something right. Making sure the developer is who he says he is seems sensible (although painfully slow).

It might just be a trick to slow app submissions, or a filter to remove those that are half-hearted about delivering an app. Either way, sounds like a pain.

Huh? I am an iOS developer and have never been asked for a "DUNS number" (whatever that is)

Alright then

That seems backwards.
If you work for an established company we'll run you though the ringer.... but if you're an independent (meaning I potentially work out of my garage creating hacks), then hey, no problem!! You're in!!
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

That's a funny POV. You made me LOL!! Because you are right.

Odd that it took you 4 weeks to get the DUNS as their own information says 5 business days.

It could've been some administrative on our side too, since my friend handled it.
But i know others have said it took them this long too.

Hey Rad, I'm using your password generator with my Galaxy S7. Works great except for a few little glitches. Nothing major, just little annoyances. Let me know and I can pm you with the details.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

That is so nice of you to even try it. I really appreciate you trying it out and for messaging me.
Absoutely, PM the details and I will attempt to fix things ASAP.
Thanks again, for letting me know.

So, big deal. It helps prevent a lot of malicious software making it into the app store. Work on your app while waiting.

You're right. I actually do agree with you and it looks like my complaining paid off.
I just checked my email and I've been accepted into the appledev program.

Yes, Apple makes you jump through more hoops. With Apple, you will need to renew your developer license every year, re-publish your apps with renewed certificates every year, and go through longer wait periods for your app to get reviewed. It can be a pain. However, Google Play virtually does nothing to verify your app other than scan it for viruses before allowing it to go through to the store. No real person ever looks at it in my experience, while I know Apple looks at it because Apple has a test account that I setup under my apps and I can see when they last logged in (and they've asked me follow up questions). So from developer standpoint, you might think Google Play is better because you don't have to do so much, but from a consumer point-of-view, I have a higher comfort level with Apple knowing someone is taking a look at the app to make sure it is what the developer says it is and it isn't some kind of malware.

That's great information about how the Apple Dev account works.
Thanks and I do agree with you on the safety issues.
At least the app store items are vetted and once you get there consumers have a bit more trust in the app. That's always good for those of us who are doing legit work.

Apple hates developers as far as I can tell. Haven't gotten to the play store yet. Had some apps in the Microsoft store – – very easy.

That's correct. FYI- Mine was a little more, because tax was included.
