App Publishing Checklist
Publishing a mobile app to app stores can be an effective way for businesses to expand their customer base, improve their brand image, and increase revenue. Branding can be reinforced by showcasing the identity on the app splash screen which shows when the app is loading (completed in the ‘Application’ section).
In addition to building brand awareness, mobile apps can provide businesses with a platform to connect with their customers and provide them with convenient and personalised services.
By creating a well-written app description with keywords and phrases that help people find the app and focusing on an attention-grabbing introduction, we can help business owners make their app stand out and attract more downloads.
Publishing a mobile app to app stores is a crucial step in making it available to the wider audience. In order to do so, the customer must first create a developer account on the app store platform they wish us to publish their app on.
The cost of creating a developer account for the Apple App Store (iOS) is $99 per year, while the Google Play Store (Android) requires a one-time payment of $25. Here is a short course on Apple Developer Accounts.

When publishing your apps to Apple (note if you are publishing to Google Play only, guidelines are much less stringent), we recommend you follow the guidelines below to give your app the best chance of passing. Remember that features can bee freely added or removed after publishing has been aproved.
- Add a minimum 6 native app features. Here is a list of the main native features most likely to help get an app approved
-
- Commerce Pro -
- X-Delivery -
- Appointments Pro
- Events Pro
- Calendar
- Loyalty
- Progressive Loyalty
- Form V2
Features filled with content (Apple do not like blank pages) eg if you have a ‘Calendar’ feature, add a minimum of 3 events).
Turn off the following features. Note that Apple do not like dummy content and there can be no live content until the app goes live. Also, features with logins make it more difficult for them to access the app and check it through without providing additional logins.
