Using Xcode on a team apparently requires you to set up an Apple Developer Program account. This, in turn, requires you to get a DUNS number (an American business ID) because Apple is too lazy to localise their system for each country they operate in. After you have a DUNS number, you then pay $99 for the privilege of assigning a bundle identifier (org.domain.foo) to your team (so apps can be run in more than one copy of Xcode simultaneously) and for the privilege of submitting apps for review.

The closer you get to things that Apple considers valuable or sensitive, the more they want to control what you're doing. It's not a great feeling.

@thorthenorseman More proof that when you use Apple, you deserve what you get.
