Guide for Launching an App on Apple’s App Store (Part 2)

A week ago, we discussed some fundamentals and steps to launch your application Apple’s App Store. Maybe your reason will get change for launching your app from start-up to sponsorship but it’s more important for you to understand the about steps you need to take for distributing your app on the platform and how it will work.

You should keep in mind that success will not always come in your path but you have to sure that people who are looking for it would be able to see your app in the app store. So now let’s come to the point from where we left off.

In our previous article, we briefed about the things which are required for uploading, business documentation and any necessary information for Apple app store before you begin the process. Imagine you have already done each and every single thing required in that part (Agreements, Tax Specifications and Important Banking Information, Your User Accounts setups), now it’s the time to look – how we can submit the app in the app store for distribution? And what next step so that viewers can see our app?

The Breakdown

The first thing you have to do is, enroll yourself in an Apple Developer program. Being a member you will get access to resources like – configuring application services, submitting new updates and new apps. But one thing, if you are not a developer then you have to contact the developers whom you have gave the contract for completing this step or you can ask help for the same. Because there are some technical words which only developers will know and there is no shame in asking help and admitting that you don’t have any knowledge for this, in fact, this is completely fine.

Adding Services to Your Application

If your app contains some additional services in it like – games, Newsstand apps, In-App Purchases and iAd Network. These are available only for the members of the Apple Developer Program who distribute their apps through the store. One more thing Mac App Store and App Store both are two different platforms which mean you need to submit the app and its configuration on both individually.

Apple uses an underlying security model for the protection of both user data and your app from being modified and distributed without your knowledge. Hence, your app is code signed and provisioned to use only the app services that you specify and this is only possible with the best iOS mobile app development company which provides a secure app to their users and we are one of them so you can contact us anytime for any query and help.

Preparing Your App for Distribution

Yes! Preparation for your app distribution, it is necessary before you test or submit the app to the App store for approval. You need to check the Configuration for your Xcode project; this is something technical which only these IOS mobile app developers can do as I have said before. So if you are not a developer, this the time you need their help because they are qualified IOS developer and they know what should be done at this moment.

Testing Your App on Multiple Devices

One of the main steps is testing your app because after testing it you will need some beta testers having knowledge of running the app. There will be some bugs and errors in the app and those one can be noticeable once you launch the app in the app store, so at that time you will a beta tester. If you haven’t hired any beta tester than this a good time to do so.

You will get this tester easily from Google search only; you will get multiple users who can do this testing for you at minimal cost.

The Wrap-Up

Finally, you have reached the last step. Finished with all agreements, tax specifications and banking information, user account setups, submission of the app to an app store, the addition of services, app distribution, test on every possible device.

Now your app is ready to hit the platform and users.
