Xcode is intelligent and holds the caliber to conduct such steps by itself.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To create a complete archive, you should first pick the Generic iOS Device from the simulators&#8217; list.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Go to &#8211;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Product &gt; Archive<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And, next, allow it to bundle your application. The size of your app will decide how much time this process will take.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After it&#8217;s done, you will see the Archive window from where you can manage the entire archives that Xcode has generated.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whenever you pick Archive in the menu, Xcode will bundle a new archive for your App Store Connect.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can delete the old bundles or duplicates from the list, if any.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Next, select the archive and pick <\/span><b>Distribute App<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It will show you various distribution methods you can choose, like iOS App Store, Ad Hoc, Enterprise, and Development.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After choosing iOS App Store, they will start with checks and validations to ensure your app is not broken.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If everything goes well, it&#8217;s good, but if something happens in between, Xcode will store you and take you back to coding or appending missing assets.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If Xcode finds everything perfect with the archive, the upload process will constantly run. The time it takes to complete the uploading of the app will rely on the archive size and the speed of your internet connection.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once it&#8217;s done, a final window will appear with a message,&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>&#8220;App &#8220;LOSTLocations&#8221; successfully uploaded.\u201d&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, your app needs to go halfway to get published on the iOS App Store.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#6. <b>Submit You App for Review<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Submit-You-App-for-Review.jpg\" alt=\"Submit You App for Review\" class=\"wp-image-16780\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, you need to append the build you exported from Xcode. Xcode receives the archive, but App Store Connect will take some time to process it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That&#8217;s all!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the top-right corner of your screen, choose the Save button, and next, you will see the \u2018<\/span><b>Submit for Review<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2019 button that will turn blue.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before that, a couple of questions will emerge on the screen that you need to answer and press the &#8216;Submit&#8217; button.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#7. <b>Go Live!<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Go-Live-with-your-ios-app.jpg\" alt=\"Go Live with your ios app\" class=\"wp-image-16776\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, your app will join the waiting list for the review team and Apple&#8217;s certification. It will show a yellow color tag.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Earlier, this review process used to take 1-2 weeks, but today it only gets closed within 3-4 days only. Moreover, an app update finishes faster.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After the approval, you will receive an email.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Voila!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>If Rejected<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before resubmitting, you will need to make important fixes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With App Store Connect, you can communicate with Apple for any queries. Moreover, if you believe your app is unfairly rejected, raise an issue and submit an appeal.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most apps face rejections because of their poor performance. So, you need to be sure that your app is bug-free and performs as expected. You can use a bug reporting tool like Firebase, Crashlytics, Xcode, and more to perform beta testing to decrease the chance of your app rejection.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>If Approved<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, you can view your app&#8217;s sales, downloads, ratings, and reviews directly in App Store Connect.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"App_Store_Submission_Checklist\"><\/span><b>App Store Submission Checklist<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Test Your App<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Review App Store guidelines<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Add your app&#8217;s details, like name, category, and more<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Create your app&#8217;s screenshots and upload<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Register for the Apple Developer Program<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Setup your iTunes Connect Account<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prepare your app for distribution<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Upload your app<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Submit your app for review<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_Emizentech_Help_You_Submit_An_App_To_The_App_Store\"><\/span><strong>How Can Emizentech Help You Submit An App To The App Store?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Posting an app on the App Store may look simple when you look at the steps (mentioned above).
