App Store Deployment Guide

A complete, practical guide to getting your iOS app published — from zero to live on the App Store. Based on real deployment experience, not just documentation.

What This Skill Covers

  1. Apple Developer Account Setup — Individual vs Organization, D-U-N-S numbers, business entity requirements
  2. Certificates & Code Signing — Development, distribution, provisioning profiles, push notifications
  3. App Store Connect — App listing, metadata, screenshots, privacy nutrition labels
  4. Building & Submitting — Both Xcode (native) and Expo/EAS (React Native) paths
  5. TestFlight — Internal and external beta testing
  6. App Review — Common rejections and exactly how to fix them
  7. Subscriptions & Revenue — Apple's commission, RevenueCat, Small Business Program
  8. Privacy & Compliance — ATT, nutrition labels, export compliance
  9. Post-Launch — Crash monitoring, ASO, phased releases

Key Gotchas (Preview)

These are the issues that cost real developers days of wasted time:

  • ⚠️ Build number must increment every submission — or Apple silently rejects your upload. Hours wasted on free-tier build queues.
  • ⚠️ Account deletion is REQUIRED — Apple mandates users can delete their account from within the app
  • ⚠️ Password recovery is REQUIRED — No reset flow = guaranteed rejection
  • ⚠️ Organization accounts need a D-U-N-S number — free but takes up to 30 days
  • ⚠️ Privacy nutrition labels — you must declare every data type your app touches
  • ⚠️ Demo account required — if your app has login, reviewers need test credentials

The premium version explains each of these in detail with step-by-step solutions.
