Mobile App Steps

Welcome.  We were able to take the steps below on behalf of ministries. However, Google and Apple changed their policy and require each ministry to make the initial steps.  After you complete everything in Section A, we'll build the App quickly and get it published.

A.  You will get these items - in the order below - if you have any problems, contact us.

1.  For your ministry, get an Apple ID and Google ID - there is no cost for this.

        Apple ID:  https://appleid.apple.com

        Google ID:  https://support.google.com


2.  If you do not have one, get a Dunn and Bradstreet/DUNs number.

        The App Stores use this to verify that you actually exist.
        They are designed for businesses, so understand their terminology and relate it the best you can to your ministry.
        You may have to wait a day or two to get the number, and they may call you.

        You will see they are looking for this information:
              Business legal name
              Business registration documentation - your Tax ID
              Name of owner or CEO - just enter the primary leader/pastor here
              Type of business
              Year the business began operations
              Headquarter address and mailing address
              Primary contact information
              Number of employees

              Fill out the form at:  https://www.dnb.com/duns-number/get-a-duns-number-registration.html


3.  Apple Developer Account - free for non-profits and churches

             Vist: 
   
              https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/​

             This step requires two-step authentication and may contact Apple Help for exact steps for your device.
             It's different for each device.

              Here's the link for Apple to waive the fee if you need it:

              https://developer.apple.com/support/membership-fee-waiver/

               *** Important:  at the end of the process, Apple may make a phone call to you.  
               In that phone call, tell them that you want John Honeycutt with email address john@givingclicks.com
               given permission to access the account.  They will relate their current policy for this.


    
4.  Get a Google Developer Account - It has been at no cost, but they may charge a one time fee for life of $25
 
                Visit:   https://accounts.google.com


     That's it.  We'll take it from there.


After you have items in number one completed, send me a message, and we’ll take the next steps.

We will…

    a.  Create the Initial Design at no charge and ask for your review.

    b.  Submit the App to the Google Play and Apple App Stores

        We will work with those stores to satisfy any requests they have or changes they want until the App is approved.

     c.  Once you are active in the App Stores, the monthly hosting will begin.
