iPhone App Store Submission Checklist

Submitting your app to the App store can be confusing and oftentimes a difficult process to navigate. Developers run into obstacles all the time when submitting the app.

Our developers have a basic checklist which has saved many headaches and prepared us for the ultimate app approval:

1. Company Name* : (If this is your first time uploading an app to the app store, and you enrolled as an individual developer, you’ll be asked if you want to set a Company Name. Think carefully about this – once you set it, you can NOT change it without calling Apple and going through their phone support line. If you set a company name then all of your apps will show it.)
2. Default Language*:
3. App Name*:
4. SKU Number: Developer can add this, just a unique combination strings is enough
5. Availability Date*: (The date your app will become available on the App Store.): Date selector available, we can select current date
6. Price Tier*: (Free / Tier 1 (0.99) / Tier 2 (1.99) / Tier 3 (2.99) etc)
7. Discount for Educational Institutions*: (YES/NO)
8. Custom B2B App*: (YES/NO)
9. Version Information

1. Version Number*: By default, initial version will be 1.0
2. Copyright*:  The name of the person or entity that owns the exclusive rights to the app, preceded by the year the rights were obtained (for example, “2013 Mobomo LLC.”).
