How do you prepare an iOS or Android app for release?

Bring builds, signing, closed testing and store review into one release plan.

Create the right release build

Android distribution requires a signed AAB, while iOS needs an archive prepared with distribution credentials. Teams without a Mac can use a secure cloud build or iOS rendering service; account and certificate ownership should remain with the customer.

Plan Google Play closed testing

Where Google requires a tester count and continuous test period before production access, the requirements depend on the developer account. Resolova Software can manage invitations, feedback and the production application through a 14-day closed test service.

Prepare complete store content

App names, descriptions, screenshots, privacy declarations, age ratings and support links matter as much as the binary. Missing or inaccurate declarations can delay review.

Plan beyond release

Assign responsibility for crash monitoring, versioning, certificate renewal and policy changes. Scope a one-time submission separately from ongoing maintenance.
