iOS app publishing - publishing under different author name

Question

I have been developing and testing an iPhone app under a family members Apple Developer account. He paid for the account and it's registered under his business.

When it comes time to publish, will it appear in the App store (and for that matter anywhere else where the author name is published), under his name or his company name?

Can this be changed? Is it possible to publish an app on a developer account but under a different author name?

Answer 1

Yes, it will appear in the App Store under his name (if registered as an individual) or his company name (if he's registered as a company).

Answer 2

Can this be changed? Is it possible to publish an app on a developer account but under a different author name?

No, and no. The name the developer account is registered to is the name that appears in the App Store for any apps published by that developer account.

Answer 3

If the person named on an individual iOS developer enrollment incorporates an app business and obtains a DUNS number for that corporation, Apple may allow changing the developer account to a company enrollment using that corporation's legal name. This would then allow publishing apps in the App Store under that corporation's name, instead of under the original individual's name.
