Submitting to the App Store

June 02, 2026 • 1 min read

Shipping an iOS app means archiving a signed build and submitting it through App Store Connect.

Steps

  • Join the Apple Developer Program ($99/yr).
  • Set a unique Bundle ID and configure signing (Xcode → Signing & Capabilities).
  • Select "Any iOS Device" and Product → Archive.
  • Upload the archive to App Store Connect from the Organizer.
  • In App Store Connect: add screenshots, description, privacy details, then submit for review.
Tip: Use TestFlight to send beta builds to testers before the public release.
Common mistake: Apple's review checks privacy, crashes and guideline compliance. Fill the privacy "nutrition label" honestly to avoid rejection.

Summary

Archive a signed build, upload to App Store Connect, complete the listing and privacy info, and submit for review.
