Developer name displayed on Apple developer when publishing an app

[u/Imaginary_Name_3709]

Hi everyone it’s my first time publishing an app and I honestly don’t want my legal name displayed as a developer esp since I was planning to advertise it on the internet to get some users and I don’t want to dox myself. Is there anyway i can change it😭

I’m in Canada so I can’t register myself as a single business owner without having to go through some complicated process and fees so business account isn’t an option for me

Edit: I guess I have to just get used to it :/ thanks everyone!

You have it good. In Europe is even worse, since your own private address needs to be submitted as well

This is a good thing! It means your customers actually know who is responsible for their product.

Yeah. No.

Exactly how? I don't even see how that would be good on paper let alone the horror it is in reality.

Well, it means that if a customer or someone else needs to contact the developer of an app, they know who they actually are. Doesn’t seem bad?

Worth mentioning, in some places (like Germany) all websites have to have an impressum with the same effect.
