Hi,
I’ve a question that I can’t solve alone. I should make an app for a client, the app will be on payment,
so I must not appear as a developer because the client will be the person who will receive the gain for the app. So, is it possible after completing the app with my softwares (kwik and corona) to publish with the client’s name?
thank in advance.

Yes. Your client will need to sign up for a developer account, and you just provide the client with the compiled app. Your client will need to submit it to the store. [import]uid: 132483 topic_id: 34757 reply_id: 138099[/import]
thank you for the quick reply. I would have one last question because of my inexperience:
Are there tutorials that can show me the whole process, from export to loading the app on the app store?

There are a couple of different ways to do this and I don’t know of any tutorials.
-
You have your developer account and your corona. They have their developer account and their corona. You build and test on your account. When your done, give them the source and help them build and upload the app from their account.
-
They make you an admin on their account, you keep all the source and build and upload on their account. You will need their certificates/keys and provisioning profiles.

ok thank you. I think that the second option is the most interesting. But, when you type " They make you an admin on their account", mean simply that they giving me the opportunity to use their account or is there a specific procedure to do? (maybe is a stupid question…)

Additionally, if developing for iOS (not sure about Android), there’s another big pain in the ass and that’s called XCode. It manages your certificates and keys for submitting apps to the store. However, I found that mixing two different Apple Dev accounts (e.g. the client and your own) on one environment is not a very good idea. XCode gets pretty confused, and many times builds will fail because of wrong certificates.
Easiest way to circumvent this is to make different user accounts in OSX, and use the environments separately with their own XCode instance/ADC acct. [import]uid: 106658 topic_id: 34757 reply_id: 138273[/import]
ok, so I understand that to follow the first way is the safest choice. The client will buy corona and the developers certificate and I will help him to upload the app from his account and his computer… but it can be a problem if I have a client who lives far away from me… anyway, thanks for all the info.

With things like dropbox, its not too difficult to do. I do test builds on my credentials then either use a service like TestFlightApp.com to send builds to testers or make the build files and use dropbox with a client. Then when it’s ready to do, I zip up the folder, drop it out on dropbox and then they can unzip it on their computer, build it and upload it. I’ve done quite a bit of work with out-of-town clients this way.
