Apple DeveloperEnterprise Program
TheApple DeveloperEnterprise Program allows large organizations to develop and deploy proprietary, internal-use apps to their employees. This program is for specific use cases that require private distribution directly to employees using secure internal systems or through a Mobile Device Management solution.
Eligibility
TheApple DeveloperEnterprise Program is only for the internal use and distribution of proprietary apps in specific use cases that are not adequately addressed with public apps on theApp Store, custom apps throughApple Business Manager or Ad Hoc distribution, or beta testing through TestFlight. Your proprietary app must be developed by you for use on Apple platforms.
In addition, the following eligibility requirements apply. Your organization must:
- Have 100 or more employees.
- Be a legal entity. We do not accept DBAs, fictitious businesses, trade names, or branches.
- Use the program only to create proprietary, in-house apps for internal use, and to distribute these apps privately and securely to employees within the organization.
- Have systems in place to ensure only employees can download your internal-use apps, and to protect membership credentials and assets.
- Participate in and pass Apple’s verification interview and continuous evaluation process.

Your organization must have a D-U-N-S Number, which is a unique nine-digit number assigned by Dun & Bradstreet and widely used as a standard business identifier. You cancheck to see if your organization already has a D-U-N-S Number and request one if necessary. They are free in most jurisdictions. Your organization must also have a publicly available website with a domain name that’s associated with your organization. In addition, we may contact your organization to verify other details and continue to evaluate your use of the program. If you choose to renew your membership, your organization will be verified again. Apple reserves the right to reject your application at its sole discretion.
