How to find and accept updated agreements from Apple

Art. no. 216101941

No alt text available

Apple regularly updates their agreements to use its App Store platform. Apple usually updates the agreements several times a year.

Each time Apple updates the agreements it will be up to the account holder to review the updated agreement and eventually approve it, as the agreement updates will block Prenly to administrate your iOS app.

Reviewing and approving the updated agreement(s) is quick and easy. 
All you will need is a computer and access to the account holder's AppleID (an e-mail address, password, and two-factor authentication), i.e. the information you use to log in to your Apple Developer account.

Step 1. Sign in to your Apple Developer account as the account holder by visiting https://developer.apple.com/account/.

You may also visit https://developer.apple.com/ and select Account in the menu.

Sign in to Apple Developer.

Sign in to Apple Developer.

Step 2. At the top of the Apple Developer overview you will see active statuses regarding your membership:

• Updated agreements
• Apple Developer Program membership active expired/renewal

See the section The program license agreement has been updated.
In it, you will be able as the account holder to find a link to your agreement page. Click the link to be taken to the agreement page at the Business section.

Follow the instructions provided by Apple in this section.

Alternatively, you can swipe down to the section Program resources and select the link labeled Business.

Step 3. It is time to review and eventually approve the updated agreement.

Depending on your app's requirements you might see two agreements, one for the mandatory Free Apps but also one for Paid Apps. Both agreements need to be up-to-date.

See the agreement's status in the tabular column Status. If it's Active without further information on new agreements, you are done – else review the new agreement.

To view the agreement select View, review the agreement and approve it.
