Trials and Tribulations Of Launching My First Mobile App
Even after all this time, creating mobile apps is a pain in the nether regions.
- I had a Google developer account which I let lapse some years ago. I cannot use the same email address for a new account even though the old account had $0 and 0 transactions through it.
- I can't register a new organisation account using my own non-Gmail email account without setting up a full google workspace, which means pointing my domain to them and paying a fee for a service I'm never going to use.
- I had an apple developer account, similarly lapsed, and need to reset my Apple ID password. I don't have any apple devices, so I have to wait for them to manually review my password request. FFS.
- Google and Apple require a DUNS number for my business. Every business has one. My business is listed on D&B UK. I have to wait for a - you guessed it - manual process to get the DUNS number for my own business.
It's all going to be worth it, right?
