DRM requires special setup steps for iOS and tvOS platforms. Apple requires a FairPlay Streaming (FPS) Deployment Package Certificate. The owner of your Apple developer account must request this information. Uscreen can not do this for you, but we can support you with these instructions!
Here's how you request the FairPlay Streaming (FPS) Deployment Package:
Sign into you Apple Developer Account with your owner account. Only the owner can do this.
Fill out the form with details below
Approval may take several days
Once approved, notify your Uscreen App Specialist, who will then complete the remaining steps to setup DRM on your Apple devices.

Once you have been approved for FairPlay access by Apple, the App Launch Team will provide to you the files and instructions you need in order to proceed.
These instructions will be sent to you directly along with these files, but you will receive two CSR files from us. Using these, you will do the following:
Navigate to developer.apple.com > Certificates > FairPlay Streaming
When you click to create a new certificate, the first page will ask you to select the SDK, for which you will want to select the top option listed
Then, it will as to provide two CSR files, one with 1024-bit encryption and the other with 2048-bit encryption.
Once finished, it should present a new ZIP file for you to download. Feel free to either add that file to the same Drive folder, or just attached it to this email.
After the App Launch Team receives these from you, we will send everything to our 3rd party streaming infrastructure provide and confirm with you once DRM protection is in place!
