Mobile Publisher needs certain pieces of information from your Apple Developer account to distribute your branded app. To participate in the Mobile Publisher program for iOS apps, you must have an Apple Developer Program account enrolled as an organization. See the Enrolling as an Organization section in [What You Need To Enroll](https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/).

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-mysalesforce-264-0-0-production-enus/a39debb4-ddcf-4d21-ae97-ca8229316d3a/images/icon_important.png)

Important To distribute your Mobile Publisher app using the Fully Managed or Binary Upload distribution methods, your Apple Developer account must have an [iOS distribution certificate](https://developer.apple.com/help/account/certificates/certificates-overview/) available for your app. By default, Mobile Publisher generates an iOS distribution certificate from your Apple Developer account. However, if you’ve reached the limit for iOS distribution certificates, you must make one available to distribute your app.

Before you submit your app, verify that your Apple Developer account has an iOS distribution certificate available. To verify, log in to your Apple Developer account, go to the **Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles** page, and click **+** to add a new certificate. If you get an error that there are no iOS distribution certificates available, then you’ve reached the limit and you must make a certificate available for your Mobile Publisher app. If you don’t get an error, you can cancel the new certificate and proceed to submit your app to Mobile Publisher.
