Does iOS app publisher also need Mac, or only developer needs it?


I'm a contractor who develops apps for companies other than my own. My client plans to distribute game with his legal entity name as the “Seller”, so he enrolled iOS Developer Program.

I own Mac connected with my developer account, and builds of our game signed with my provisioning profile and certificates (for Ad Hoc testing).

Now we want to publish game using my client's account.

Should I tell him to buy Mac? Or maybe I can use my Mac to build game with my certificates and provisioning profiles and then use his account to publish game signed by me?

I would highly appreciate any suggestion, I have not found any revelant documentation in Apple support. It would be great if my client wouldn't need to buy new machine just to sell game that is already developed.

Thanks in advance,

Kris


Solution

  • You can use your own mac and sign the app with your client's provisioning profiles and certificates (they have to make you a Developer profile in their Apple Dev team). Then, the thing you need is your client's Itunes Connect account to upload the app with the Application Loader.
