The free developer accounts don't get your apps into the iOS app store. That requires a paid up $99 developer account.

I think (but am not sure) that you can use them (for now) to sign a macOS app that you distribute from your own download somewhere, and Mac uses can download your apps and click through the "Yes, I trust apps signed with that Satoshi Nakamoto certificate" dialog and install them.

You don't get even free macOS notarization without paying $99. Really, could I get a link to where this mythical free account is and what it provides?
