For Gene ontology analysis in R by using edge R and limma

I am using R studio for the analysis of RNA-seq data related to my research work. I have done my differential analysis and now trying to do GO analysis. Through my reading, I came to understand that is it necessary to link gene symbols to their definite IDS. As "gonna function" is not working .

If it is so then please tell me how I convert my gene list which is (15481) to Enterzids.

Thanks.

You can convert gene symbols to Entrez Ids either using the appropriate organism package (e.g., org.Hs.eg.db or org.Mm.eg.db) or by using the limma function alias2SymbolUsingNCBI.

Thank you. Can I use this recommended function after performing "glmFtest" and "glmtreat".If so, can this recommended function help me to perform GO analysis?

I used edgeR limma and voom and have a differential expression list but I could use gonna as I didn't find my organism package, apple (Malus domestica). How can I proceed with GO?
