Publishing to the Apple Store

When submitting your application to the Apple store you'll need to obtain a PPID from Brother. This can be achieved by making a request here: https://secure6.brother.co.jp/mfi/Top.aspx

Without it you'll likely receive a rejection message along the lines of:

App has not been authorized by the accessory manufacturer to work with the MFi accessory
