Get your iPhone or iPad app from a finished build to live on the App Store: accounts, signing, TestFlight, listing, privacy details and review, handled by a developer who has published 8 apps.

**Quick answer:** I publish iPhone and iPad apps to the App Store: App Store Connect setup, certificates and signing, TestFlight builds, the store listing with screenshots and keywords, privacy nutrition labels, and taking the app through App Review, including fixing rejections. I have designed, built and published 8 apps of my own on the App Store.

## What I build

- **Account and App Store Connect:** Developer account setup guidance, app record, bundle IDs, agreements, tax and banking details checked.
- **Signing and builds:** Certificates, provisioning profiles and archived builds from Xcode, Expo or your AI tool’s export, uploaded correctly.
- **TestFlight:** Internal and external testing groups, so you and your testers try the real build before launch.
- **Store listing:** Name, subtitle, description, keywords, screenshots and preview sizes for every required device.
- **Privacy and compliance:** Privacy nutrition labels, privacy policy and support pages, account deletion and permission texts that match what the app does.
- **Review and rejections:** Submission notes, demo accounts and fixes for rejections, through to approval and release.

## Results on real products

- **8 apps on the App Store:** Published solo — UK Test Prep, RoadTick, Resume Builder, SnapText, Picture to Text, Magnetic Blocks, Cheatly and Secret Codes, each taken through review.
- **Privacy-first apps:** On-device processing — SnapText and Picture to Text read text on the device, with privacy labels and pages that match exactly what the apps do.
- **Support and privacy pages:** Live for every app — The support and privacy pages App Review requires, published on this site for all 8 apps.

## Tools I use

App Store Connect, Xcode, TestFlight, SwiftUI, Expo, Fastlane, StoreKit, Privacy manifests

## How a project works

1. **Scope call.** We talk through the goal, the current state of the product and what success looks like.
2. **Written plan.** You get fixed milestones, delivery dates and a clear price before any work starts.
3. **Build in small pieces.** I ship in small steps with regular progress updates, so you always see what is built.
4. **Tested delivery.** Delivery includes tests, documentation, handover and free support afterwards if something breaks.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you publish an app built with Bolt.new, Lovable or another AI tool?

Yes, if it is a native or Expo/React Native app that can be built for iOS. Web apps need wrapping first; I tell you upfront which route fits.

### Do I need my own Apple Developer account?

Yes. Apps are published under your account, so you own the listing. I guide you through enrolment and work in it as a team member.

### How long does App Review take?

Usually one to two days, sometimes longer. Preparing the listing and fixing issues first is what saves the most time.

### What are the most common rejection reasons?

Crashes, incomplete features, missing account deletion, privacy labels that do not match the app, and unclear in-app purchase details.

### Can you fix a rejected app?

Yes. I read the rejection, fix the app or the listing, reply in Resolution Center and resubmit.

### Do you create the screenshots?

Yes, at every required size, with captions that explain the main features.

### Do you handle in-app purchases and subscriptions?

Yes: product setup in App Store Connect, StoreKit integration and the review notes Apple needs to test them.

### What does it cost to publish an app?

Apple charges $99 a year for the developer program. My work is a fixed price that depends on how ready the app is.

### Can you help with App Store search (ASO)?

Yes: name, subtitle and keywords chosen for what people search, the same way I set up my own apps.

### Do you also publish to Google Play?

My own apps are on the App Store; for Android I can prepare the build and listing as part of a cross-platform project.
