Apple App Store listing process

Apple App Store listing process​

The listing process is divided into seven steps, follow the steps step by step.

If you look at this process carefully, you will avoid a lot of detours. You don’t have to go through trial and error step by step. Novices can quickly master the listing process.

1. Create APP ID cards (App IDs)

2. Apply for iOS publishing certificate

3. Apply for iOS release description file

4. Upload the ios certificate to compile and package IPA

5. Create an App in iTunes Connect

6. Upload IPA to App Store under Windows

7. After uploading the IPA, return to iTunes Connect to fill in the APP information and submit it for review.

1. Create unique identifier BundleID (App IDs)

If the BundleID (App IDs) has been created before during real-device debugging , skip this step and use the previous one. Go directly to the second step to apply for a release certificate.

APP IDs will be used later to create a release file and will be used when creating an APP. (appid is very important, the entire listing process is related by appid)

1.1 First log in to the Developer Center https://developer.apple.com/account , enter the certificate page, and click on the red circle in the picture below to enter.

If the Apple account login interface is like the following, it means that you have not paid to join the developer.

Please see the tutorial below

Tutorial on applying for an Apple developer account

1.2 Select App IDs in the sidebar –> Click the + sign in the upper right corner to add a new App ID

The first item, Name, is used to describe your App ID. You can fill this in casually. There are no restrictions. (Chinese is not allowed.) For example, if your app is called Taobao, it can be set to Pinyin taobao.

The second item is Bundle ID (App ID), the ID number of the APP. The format for filling in the App ID is: com.company.appName (there must be two dots.) If the app name is Taobao, it can be compiled into com.app.taotao. Just make it up as you like, as long as it is easy to remember.

Later, the appid (com.app.taotao) will be used to apply for the ios certificate, package the ipa and create the APP in itunesconnect. The entire app listing process is related to this appid.

The third item configures service permissions. By default, 2 items are selected and cannot be modified. Other commonly used ones include Apple Pay and APP push notifications. If you want to do Apple Pay, push notifications or anything else, just check the corresponding ones. If there is nothing else If required, the default is to continue directly, next step.

Click Register directly and then click Done to complete the creation of the App ID.

2. Apply for issuance certificate
