Publishing overview¶
Your app is configured in its manager. For it to reach phones, it must be published on the App Store (Apple) and on Google Play (Android). Here is the path, step by step.
Two ways to publish¶
- With your own developer accounts (the general case): the app appears under your company's name on the stores. An assistant guides you step by step in the manager.
- With our accounts: we publish for you.
Available on request
Publishing your app with our accounts : this feature is offered on request. Open a ticket from your customer area or write to us: we will take care of it with you.
The main steps¶
- Prepare your app in the manager: name, theme, visuals, menu. See Open the manager.
- Open your developer accounts: Apple Developer and Google Play Console.
- Follow the publishing assistant: it checks each step for you. See Use the publishing assistant.
- Build a version: we prepare the app and upload it to the stores in test (TestFlight for Apple, internal testing track for Google).
- Go live: you approve publication to the public from each store's console. It is never automatic.
What to plan for¶
- Paid developer accounts: an annual subscription for Apple, a one-off payment for Google. They belong to your company.
- A few days of delay: Apple can take up to 48 hours to validate an enrolment, and a company must provide its D-U-N-S number. The stores then review the app before putting it online.
- One identifier per platform: choose it carefully, because it no longer changes after a first version is sent.
- Visuals in the right dimensions: see The app visuals.
