So, you've been playing around with XCode for a while now. Maybe you've built some cool apps on the simulator, and maybe you've even deployed them onto a real iPhone! Now, you feel like your app is ready to face the world. But how do you even begin with uploading an app to the iOS app store? It may seem intimidating at first, but it really all boils down to a few simple steps. Let's get started and share your creation with the world! 🚀

• Create an Apple Developer account
• Prepare your app for App Store guidelines
• Archive and distribute your app
• Add information about your app on App Store Connect

That's it! You may have to iterate on your app based on feedback from your reviewer, which you'll be able to find in the Apple Resolution Center (you'll receive an email about this). Once your app is approved, your app status will be "Ready for Sale," and you'll be able to find it in the App Store! How exciting! :D

• How can I do beta testing before releasing to the App Store?
• How can I publish updated versions to the App Store?
• What if I have a bug that I just really can't fix?

Feel free to reach out to me [email protected] if you have any questions :)

Special thanks to Robert Dondero and Bri Butler for all of the support in our COS333 app development process.
