Publish to the App Store
Overview of the iOS journey — the steps to follow, in order, to bring your app to the App Store.
This section walks you from zero to publishing your app on Apple's App Store. Every page describes what you see on screen and what to do, without technical knowledge.
How to follow this guide
Follow the pages in order — each one prepares the next. Plan a first pass to create your Apple accounts (the developer membership is paid, $99/year), then the following steps take just a few minutes each.
