    What's included

    What our iOS app submission service covers

    One package for everything between your code and the App Store – set up in your own accounts and documented, so your team can ship every future update itself.

    iOS CI/CD

    Automated builds to TestFlight & the App Store

    We build your release pipeline with fastlane and the CI you prefer – GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitrise, Codemagic or Xcode Cloud. Push a tag, get a signed build in TestFlight.

    fastlane/Fastfile Example
    # Ship a new TestFlight build
    lane :beta do
      setup_ci
      app_store_connect_api_key
      match(type: "appstore", readonly: true)
      n = latest_testflight_build_number + 1
      increment_build_number(build_number: n)
      build_app(scheme: "YourApp")
      upload_to_testflight
    end
    
    # Upload metadata & screenshots
    lane :release do
      deliver(skip_binary_upload: true)
    end
    • Automatic version & build numbers
    • TestFlight for internal & external testers
    • Release lane for App Store submissions
    • In your accounts, with documented handover

    Apple Developer Program & App Store Connect

    Help with enrollment as an individual or organization (incl. D-U-N-S number), team roles, agreements, your bundle ID and the app record in App Store Connect.

    Certificates, profiles & code signing

    Distribution certificates, App IDs and capabilities, provisioning profiles and an App Store Connect API key for CI – set up cleanly, so signing stops breaking your builds.

    App Privacy & privacy manifests

    Accurate App Privacy details in App Store Connect and a PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy that declares required-reason APIs – including the SDKs you ship.

    What you need – and what you don't

    You bring the Apple account and the code. We bring the pipeline, the process and the App Store experience.

    Not 100% ready? Book anyway.

    We can start with signing, App Store Connect and your pipeline while you finish the app – so everything is in place the moment it is ready to submit.

    Not included

    • Customizations or code changes to your app (we discuss and quote them with you upfront)
    • Apple Developer Program / Google Play Console fees and other third-party costs
    1. 1

      Your Apple Developer Program membership

      Enrolled in your name or your company's, so you keep full ownership of your app. Apple's annual fee is not included – we are happy to help you enroll.

    2. 2

      Access to your source code

      A repository with your native or cross-platform iOS project. It does not have to be 100% ready – you can book while you are still building.

    3. 3

      Team access for our App Specialists

      You invite us to your App Store Connect team and your repository with the right roles. Everything stays in your accounts – no lock-in.

    Not sure your project is ready for a pipeline or for App Review? Book a free consultation call and we will tell you honestly.

    FAQ

    iOS app submission FAQ

    Straight answers about TestFlight, App Store Connect, signing and App Review.

    Your question isn't here?

    Ask an App Specialist in a free consultation call or write to [email protected].

    Free consultation call
    Can I book if my iOS app is not 100% ready yet?

    Yes. You can book while you are still building – we start with signing, App Store Connect and the CI/CD pipeline, and our AI-assisted pre-submission check shows early what App Review is likely to flag. Customizations or code changes to your app are not included: if your app needs them, we discuss them with you and quote them separately before any work starts.

    Do I need my own Apple Developer account?

    Yes. Your app is published under your own Apple Developer Program membership (as an individual or an organization), so you keep full ownership. Apple's annual membership fee is not included in our price. We are happy to help with the enrollment – including the D-U-N-S number for organizations – and you then invite our App Specialists to your App Store Connect team.

    What if my app gets rejected?

    Then we analyse the rejection with you: which guideline App Review cited, what exactly triggered it and what needs to change. We guide you through the fixes, the reply to App Review and the resubmission using your included consultation calls. If the fix requires code changes, we quote them separately upfront. There is no money-back guarantee, because the approval decision is made by Apple – not by us. Our App Store rejection guides explain the most common cases.

    Which CI/CD tools do you set up for iOS?

    We usually build the pipeline with fastlane and the CI you prefer – for example GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitrise, Codemagic or Xcode Cloud. Everything runs in your own accounts, certificates are managed with fastlane match (or Xcode Cloud's managed signing), the pipeline authenticates with an App Store Connect API key, and you get a documented handover so your team can ship future updates to TestFlight and the App Store on its own. Costs of your CI provider (such as macOS build minutes) are third-party costs and not included.

    What does the basic security audit cover?

    It is a basic review of common risks: hardcoded secrets and API keys, App Transport Security exceptions and insecure network configuration, permission usage descriptions and requested capabilities, and outdated or known-vulnerable dependencies. You receive a short list of findings with recommendations. It is not a penetration test or a formal security certification.

    Can you help us distribute the app to managed devices (MDM)?

    Yes, as consulting. We advise on distributing your app as a custom app via Apple Business Manager, on managed distribution through your MDM solution and on how to choose an MDM provider that fits your organization. We do not operate an MDM for you.

    How do the included consultation calls work?

    The iOS package includes up to 5 × 30-min video calls with an App Specialist, the iOS + Android bundle up to 8 × 45-min calls. These are maximums per order, not per platform. Use them for the kickoff, a pipeline walkthrough, discussing a rejection or the handover. If you are not sure yet whether you need us, start with a free consultation call.
