Preparing for the App Store

The final step of our app's distribute chain in iOS is the App Store. In this recipe, we will review some important aspects related to submitting our app to the App Store.

Getting ready

In this recipe, we need an already packaged app, so we will use the one in recipe Packaging for iOS in this chapter.

How to do it…

The App Store is the only mean by which we will make our app available to the users and is a little tricky process. If our app is ready for the App Store, then we must perform the following tweaks:

1. Visit the App Review site:

   https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/

2. Personalize the icon for your app in Xcode.

3. Minimize the build/python/lib/python27.zip file.

4. Put the images in the resources folder in Xcode (not in your application folder).

5. Visit the iTunes Connect page at the following:

How it works…

In this recipe, the first step was probably the most important step. Please read the document carefully...
