Introduction

If you're an independent developer, you're likely to go through a few different stages of development. The first stage will find you testing your app on your personal iOS or Android device. After exhausting this stage, you're probably going to want to share it with a select group of people to get user feedback. Eventually, you're going to reach a point where your app is ready to be released into the world via app stores. This chapter will walk through each one of these stages and cover pushing updates to your app, along with a few optimization tips.
