Copyright risk if a programmer uploads an application to the AppStore under a corporate account, but using personal email?
I am the lead iOS developer. The customer is meticulous about registering copyright for the code. Does the customer bear any risks if I do not use his corporate mail when authorizing in AppleID?
If:
1. My personal developer AppleID is already in a corporate account, and it is the corporate account that uploads the application executable file
2. The customer's corporate account is displayed everywhere
3. Apple itself does not regulate authorship depending on the account, but it obliges you to fill in the Copyright field when publishing the application
4 I am dealing with issuing keys from a corporate account with which I sign the application, and also have access to the description of the application in the AppStore and product testing in iTunes Connect
I would like to hear arguments both from the point of view of our Russian legislation and as in other jurisdictions: the USA, Europe, South America.
Using corporate AppleIDs introduces significant difficulties in development, and for example, on Android, working with the Google Developer Console is impossible without Gmail mail. I also interviewed iOS developers from Yandex, Mail.Ru, Avito, Alfa-Bank, Sberbank, Tinkoff Bank - all of them do not oblige developers to use corporate mail for AppleID. But in my case, the experience of larger companies is not an argument.

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer and I could be wrong.
Gag: Copyright belongs to the author. Even his employer does not have copyright, but only exclusive rights to the result of copyright work - intellectual property.
You, as an employee, having written a program, have copyright on it, but you cannot dispose of intellectual property, since you completely transfer it to the employer.
As a publisher, you can publish software from your email.
If you quit, such actions on your part will be illegal.
I don't see where the problem is with the client.
