Guide to submitting new apps to the App Store for review in Apple iOS 9

In the tenth lecture, we mentioned the details that need to be paid attention to when updating applications and the use of Apple’s shortcut channels. Today, we will further explore the veil of iTunes Connect, present to everyone the information that new apps need to prepare before review, and further share the App Store mailbox function. Pre-trial documents As we all know, when uploading a new application in the iTunes Connect background, you need to fill in various complicated information. It seems complicated. If you can figure out all the information and prepare it before uploading the new application, the review will be relatively simple. The following will focus on introducing the various materials that need to be submitted when uploading a new App in the iTunes Connect background. Do not wait until the upload to start preparing, as this will seriously affect your upload process and material quality. If serious, it may even affect the App’s review results and subsequent promotion plans. I hope you can pay enough attention to it. 1. Basic App Information (1) App Name: The name of your App displayed in the App Store. The name length cannot exceed 255 characters; (2) Primary language: If the app information is not localized for a particular country's App Store, the app information will be presented in the primary language (ie English); (3) Category: The category that best describes this app. After iOS 8, the "Category" option is increased to two choices. The first column is required, and the second column is optional. When selecting a "Category", you need to consider the relevance to the App and the competitive pressure; (4) Rating: This App rating will be displayed in the App Store of all platforms. It is based on the most complete rating on the App platform, that is, over xx years old. Taking sex toys as an example, their rating should be "17+", which means adults; (5) Version: The App version number you want to fill in. The numbering should follow the software version specifications. Keyword changes can only be made when the version is updated; (6) Description: A description of your App, which is used to explain its features and functions in detail.

Limited to 4,000 characters; (7) Keywords: One or more keywords to describe your App. Keywords will make App Store search results more accurate. Keywords are separated by commas. If the daily additions of the App itself are OK and you want to increase the coverage of keywords, you can consider removing the English commas. The keyword length cannot exceed 100 characters; (8) New features of this version: Describe the new features of this version of the App, such as what new features have been added, what improvements have been made, and what errors have been fixed.

App Store official email list In communicating with operation partners and developers, I found that everyone did not quite understand the official email address provided by Apple, nor did they know exactly what functions the email address had. Today, I will list the functions of these email addresses. 1. [email protected] is an email address for inquiries or consultations regarding App review and in-app purchases.
