If you want to make your APP available on iOS, the only way to do that is on the APP Store, with the exception of TestFlight, of course, but no one wants to use a beta version and have to go to the next TestFlight. So let’s see how to upload to the App Store for approval. Of course, many people may think that the App Store is not very easy, ipA package is developed, how difficult it is to upload the market, is not the same as the Android market. This is not necessarily oh, if for a white, maybe even uploading IPA to the background is a laborious thing, and when you face a foreign development platform, some words may not be clear understanding. So if you’re a big shot, take a detour, and if you’re a big shot, take a look.

1. Log in to iTunes Connect and click on my APP to create an APP.

2. Click the + sign in the upper left corner to select new APP and select iOS platform;

Fill in the following information: * APP name: Name of the APP

  • Language: APP language, Chinese or English.
  • Package ID :(application ID, appid, package name, which should be the same as those used for certificate application)
Sku: You can't write Chinese, just use pinyin to make one up for easy recognition. For example, if the app is called Taobao, enter Taobao. User access permission: Select full access permission. To create APP, upload IPA file in the next step first. Other relevant information is not needed to fill in for the time being.Copy the code

3. Before uploading IPA, configure a special password for uploading (in fact, this password is not used in the development project, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t use it)

App-specific password is specifically used for uploading IPA files a password, is a kind of Apple security mechanism! The Apple developer account now has two-factor authentication enabled, and this password is required when submitting IPA files! Features: – Does not fail – can generate more than one (forget can re-apply) – different APP shelf general (no need to repeat generation) generation steps:

  • Log in to the Apple Developer account
  • Log in to find the security project, click generate special password;
  • You can just type in your password tag, 123, APP, whatever.

Click Create Generate (note that the password tag is not a special password, but a string of passwords generated by Apple’s system).

4 Upload the IPA package

There are many tools for uploading, such as XCode’s “Application Loader”, which has been officially abandoned. The Transporter tool is now available in the Apple Store. This tool requires you to log in with a developer account. After the IPA package is successfully uploaded through the Transporter, the ipA package is delivered to the background. The uploaded IPA package is displayed in the background, but the version cannot be selected. Generally, it takes several to ten minutes for the background to process the IPA package.

5 Set background information about the App Store.

Once the IPA is built or tested internally, you can start configuring the information. Only some key information is given here. Fill in the rest as required.

  • 1 Screenshot of APP; ; 6.5 inches, this is a must;
  • 2. Promotional text: one-sentence introduction of app; Description; Key words, technical website;
  • 3. Click build version ‘+’ to select the previously uploaded version; If the previous version cannot be selected, the build is incomplete and waiting to be completed.

Note: You can download the Connect software on your mobile phone, and there will be a message when the build is complete, or you can go to the background, as long as it shows “processing”, the background is still processing.

  • 4 Copyright: can refer to the format to write. © +APP name or company name; Version is set to display the version number after the launch, and it does not need to be consistent with the IPA version number you upload, for example, ipA version is 2.1.0, the version can also be set to 1.0. Classification, test account, phone format before +86; Finally, click Save, submit;

Note: If there is an advertisement logo, you need to select the corresponding option in the App privacy section. Otherwise, the submission will fail. At this point, the entire submission is successful, an email will be sent to the specified mailbox or connect with relevant notification; The general audit is submitted today, and results are available the next morning or within a day or two. The audit result will still be notified through connect and email. If the email is “App has been approved for the App Store”, it is approved. Review however, make changes for the reasons given. Note: If the first version is not approved, the next version must be higher than the previous version. Otherwise, the Transporter will fail to submit the version. In addition, the uploaded version cannot be deleted in the background.

Tips:

Tip1: ICONS in ipA packages cannot have transparent and alpha channels. Otherwise, the Transporter will prompt “Invalid App Store Icon” when submitting IPA. Tip2: After submitting to the background, developers can add internal testers to test in TestFlight to see if there are any problems before submitting to the market. You can also apply for an external test, which can be approved in a day or two. By then, the test user will open the public link through TestFlight and use it. However, the test user will have an expiration date of about 80 days. If there is an inaccurate description, welcome to add or correct!!
