Can I reserve a name for my app?

Dear Members,


I have a generic question about reserving a name for my app which is currently under development. I have hired some developers for my app and I am very new to app development. I wanted to know if:


1. It's possible to start a project using the developer account which will ask me for an app name and I can reserve that name for x number of days. I have read some content which says I can do this for 180 days and ideally submit the app for testing/push live within 120 days. I want to confirm if this is possible, and know the process for doing so.


2. If the above is possible, can this be done using a free apple developer account or will I have to purchase the paid version (currently $99/year) before I can do this?


Many thanks in advance.


Regards,

Abhishek

Accepted Answer

1.) Yes, that will work, assuming of course the name isn't already in use. The process can be non-trivial/beyond forum capability - see: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/About.html


2.) Requires a USD$99 purchase.
