How to submit to Apple App Store

  1. Open the Apple App Store submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Create an account

    Apple App Store asks you to sign up before you can submit.

  3. Have your assets ready

    Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.

  4. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Apple App Store (iPhone, iPad and Mac users worldwide), not for search engines.

  5. Wait for review

    A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.

Tips for Apple App Store

  • Read the App Review Guidelines before building; Apple says every app is reviewed by experts and scanned for malware.
  • If your proceeds are under $1M a year, apply to the Small Business Program for the reduced 15% commission.
  • Declare any Associated Developer Accounts; they count toward the Small Business Program threshold.

From Apple App Store’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for mobile app directories.

  • Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
  • A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
  • Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
  • 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
  • The exact page you want the link to point to
  • Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
  • App Store and Google Play links (the public listing, not a TestFlight link)
  • Phone-sized screenshots in the store’s aspect ratio, plus an app icon at 1024×1024 px
  • Price, in-app purchases and subscription terms, stated plainly
  • Promo codes for reviewers, if it’s a paid app

Is Apple App Store worth it?

Good for discovery, not link equity

Links from Apple App Store listings carry rel="nofollow", so they pass little or no ranking value. Submit if its audience matches yours: the value is visitors and being findable where people browse.

  • No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
  • A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
  • Listing costs money. Pay for the audience, not the link: Google’s spam policies treat buying links that pass ranking value as a link scheme.

This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
