Publish to the App Store

Publishing on the App Store is usually the scariest part of shipping an app. In Zzz, it’s a guided flow: you answer a few questions, Zzz does the heavy lifting.

Before you start

You need an Apple Developer account (Apple charges 99 dollars per year) connected to Zzz via App Store Connect. That’s the only real prerequisite.

The publish flow

1. Connect Apple. Link your App Store Connect account once. Zzz can even create the app record on Apple’s side for you.
2. Review your listing. Zzz writes your App Store page from your actual app: name, subtitle, description, keywords, category, age rating, privacy answers. Everything is editable before it goes out.
3. Submit. Zzz builds the final binary in the cloud, uploads it, attaches the listing and sends everything to Apple review. You follow the progress from the builder.

Screenshots, handled

The screenshots are often what makes people download. Zzz generates a full App Store set from your real screens, with marketing framing and captions, in the exact sizes Apple requires. You can regenerate or tweak any of them before submitting.

After you submit

Apple reviews new apps, typically within a day or two. Zzz tracks the status for you. If Apple asks for a change, adjust in the chat and resubmit: the flow remembers everything.

Good to know

• Test on your real iPhone before submitting: it’s the best rehearsal for review. See Preview and testing.
• If your app has subscriptions, set them up before submitting: Apple reviews the purchase flow too. See Paywall and subscriptions.
• Updates use the same flow and are usually reviewed faster than the first release.
