Hi,

you’ll receive your AppID if you are allowed to sell your game on Steam. So after passing Greenlight or a custom deal with Valve or a publisher, you’ll get the AppID. Before that you can’t work with the Steam SDK.

Cheers,

Are you sure that is the case? Most game developers would not want to wait ~6 months before having a game that is greenlit to test it with many of the Steam features.
