Apple apparently has begun to enforce a new rule when it comes to submitting new apps to the app store. You can no longer make an app for a client and submit it under your own developer account.
This is of consequence for two kinds of apps:
- apps that are truly owned by the client of a contractor
- apps that are owned by you but are branded or contain content under license from a third party
Often there are contractors who published apps under their own account because that saved the client from having to go through the process of establishing a paid Developer Program account.
