What steps did you follow to publish an app on the App Store at your previous job?

Main steps for publishing an app on the App Store:

1. App preparation:

   • Ensure the app meets Apple requirements (design guides, functionality).
   • Configure Bundle Identifier and version in Xcode.

2. Creating certificates and profiles:

   • Create developer and distribution certificates in Apple Developer Center.
   • Create provisioning profiles for build and release.

3. Building and archiving:

   • Build an archive of the app in Xcode with the required configuration (Release).

4. Uploading to App Store Connect:

   • Use Xcode or Transporter to upload the build.

5. Metadata setup in App Store Connect:

   • Fill in app information: description, screenshots, keywords, categories.
   • Set prices and availability.

6. Submission for review:

   • Submit the app for Apple review.

7. Handling review results:

   • If approved, the app becomes available on the App Store.
   • If rejected, fix issues and resubmit.

8. Monitoring and updates:

   • Monitor reviews and metrics.
   • Release updates as needed.

This process requires attention to detail and adherence to Apple requirements.
