In order for us to build and distribute your apps then you need to enroll for the Apple Developer Program ($99 per year) and a Google Play Developer account (one-time $25).

Enrolling on the Apple Developer Program

To host your app on the iOS App Store, you will need an active Apple Developer account enrolled on the developer program.


IMPORTANT: Apple requires radio station owners to enrol as an organization. Without one, Radio.co cannot develop your iOS app(s).


We recommend using an Apple ID that is not linked to your personal iCloud account.

If you have an Apple ID then enter your email and password to continue. If you have forgotten your details then find your Apple ID. Alternatively, select Create Apple ID and fill out your details.
