As we all know, if you need to put an Apple APP on the shelves, you must need an Apple iOS certificate to sign the APP, otherwise the Apple mobile phone will not be able to install the APP you developed, so without further ado, just go to the tutorial.
The first step is to register an account
Two-factor authentication must be activated for Apple ID. If you are a registered individual developer, you can directly download the developer and fill in the information for payment. If you are a company, you need to register for the Dun & Bradstreet code, and then download the developer to fill in the information for payment.
The second step is to create an APP ID
Enter the Apple developer website, click account-Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, select Identifiers on the left menu, and then click the Add button. Select App IDs and click the Continue button in the upper right corner. If it is a normal application, select App, if it is an App Clip application, select App Clip, and click Continue. If it is an App Clip application, you need to select the package name of the parent application. The package name of the App Clip is composed of the package name of the parent application + your own name, and click Continue. If it is an ordinary application, select Explicit in the Bundle ID, and fill in the package name of your own application. The package name is the unique identifier of the application, which is generally the inversion of the domain name and cannot be duplicated with the existing application package name. If the application needs to use the push function, check the Push Notifications item in the Capabilities list below; if you need to support universal links, check Associated Domains and click Continue. After confirming that the information is correct, click Register to complete the creation.
