Why can’t I go with an individual account?
There are a few reasons why we no longer operate with individual iOS developer accounts:
- There are technical obstacles (such as the limitation to properly add moderatos to the individual account) that prevent a third-party developer company to properly manage an individual account.
- There are legal limitations to the submission of an app that represents a legal entity under an individual account and most of the apps that are published with Shoutem are in one way or another represent legal entities
Android
