How to Prepare an iOS App for App Store Submission
Connect account, identifier and build
Confirm your membership, team permissions, bundle identifier and signing configuration. The archive you upload must match the app record in App Store Connect. Validate the release on an actual target device and resolve launch or authentication failures before submission.
Complete product and privacy information
Use accurate metadata and screenshots for the devices your app supports. Inventory first-party and SDK data behavior before completing privacy answers. Supply a reachable support URL, privacy policy and review instructions that let Apple inspect the whole app.
Review the submission as a complete package
Choose the intended build, verify required fields and test any review account. Explain non-obvious hardware or regional constraints in review notes. Apple makes the final decision; a complete submission reduces avoidable omissions but does not guarantee acceptance.
