Publishing assistance

Publishing, without the thicket

Store submission is where many finished apps stall. We help you through accounts, signing, listings, privacy declarations and review — whether we built the app or not.

Your accounts, your keys

Apps should be published under developer accounts owned by your organisation. We guide you through enrolment with Apple and Google, then work as invited team members. Signing keys and certificates are stored where you can always reach them — never only on our machines.

For organisations, Apple and Google may require verification steps such as a D-U-N-S number or identity checks. We explain these early because they can take time outside anyone's control.

Release path

  1. Accounts and access

    Developer programme enrolment, team roles, two-factor authentication and agreements accepted by the right person.

  2. Builds and signing

    Release configuration, version numbering, signing certificates, upload keys and a repeatable build process.

  3. Store listing

    Name, subtitle, description, keywords, screenshots for required device sizes, category and age rating questionnaire.

  4. Privacy declarations

    App Store privacy details and Google Play Data safety form completed accurately from what the app actually collects, plus a hosted privacy policy.

  5. Testing tracks

    TestFlight and Play internal or closed testing to catch issues on real devices before public release.

  6. Review and rollout

    Submission, clear replies to reviewer questions, and phased or staged rollout so problems affect a small group first.

Common rejection reasons we help resolve

Incomplete information or broken demo access

Reviewers need working demo credentials and notes on any hidden features. We prepare review notes so nothing blocks testing.

Privacy labels that do not match behaviour

Third-party SDKs often collect data the team did not expect. We audit included libraries and align declarations with reality.

Minimum functionality concerns

Apps that simply wrap a website may be rejected. We help identify genuine native value or advise on alternatives.

Account deletion and sign-in requirements

Stores require in-app account deletion where accounts can be created, and specific sign-in options in some cases. We implement these correctly.
