Apple iOS App Store listing process

Apple iOS App Store listing process
After completing the development and internal testing of an iOS app, many developers face the next step of submitting it to the App Store. However, the submission process may be unfamiliar to some. Here is a detailed guide on how to submit an iOS app to the App Store.
Create a developer account: The first step is to create an Apple Developer account. You can follow the instructions in this link for the specific process: [Link].
Certificate creation: Before submitting to the App Store, you need to create the necessary certificates for your app. You can refer to this link for detailed instructions: [Link].
Submit to the App Store: a. Submit the app to the App Store: In the developer center, navigate to "My Apps" and click on "New App". Fill in the basic information of your app, such as the name, subtitle, and description. b. Set price and availability: In the "Pricing and Availability" section, choose the appropriate price and sales territories for your app. c. Configure app privacy settings: In the "Privacy" section, configure the required privacy settings for your app. d. Submit for review: After completing the above steps, submit your app for review. The review process usually takes around one working day, but it may be longer due to delays or other factors. e. Once approved, your app will be available for sale, and users can download it from the App Store.
That's the complete process of submitting an iOS app to the App Store. We hope this guide is helpful to you. If you have any questions or need further guidance, please don't hesitate to ask.
Additionally, today we would like to share a convenient tool called "appuploader" for certificate uploading.
Certificate management: Click on "Certificate Management" on the homepage.
Create a new certificate: Click on "Add" to create a new certificate file.
Please note that certificates created with a free account are only valid for 7 days and do not support push notifications. Push certificates are used for configuring push notifications on websites, not for packaging and compiling apps. Free accounts can only create development certificates and cannot submit apps for distribution or use Apple login, payments, or push notifications. The red circle represents the development certificate, while "distribution" and "managed" certificates require a $99 payment to Apple.
Use appuploader service to synchronize certificates: If you check the box for "Use appuploader service to synchronize certificates," you can download and use the certificate on different computers. This allows you to upload the IPA file to the App Store for review without needing a Mac computer or Xcode. It's a simple and convenient method.
After creating the certificate, save the file in your desired location using the "Save As" function. The certificate will be in .p12 format and does not require conversion.
