Apple Submission Check List

Now that you believe you're done with testing and your App is ready, you will proceed to the developer's holy temple, iTunes Connect. It is designed to give you access to all resources you need to manage your App.

Back when I thought iTakeNotes would be ready in no time, I registered on iTunes Connect right from the start and paid for my developer's license too early. I suggest you do that when your App is maturing, no need to rush.

Apple is very tight on registration so make sure all necessary company numbers are ready and that your company exists. In case you're an individual entrepreneur, I believe the process is a little easier.

Anyway don't even think about talking to anyone at Apple at this stage, the whole process is highly industrialized. You do as they say or you just won't access the millions of iPad users waiting for you.

Just do as Apple says

Once registration is done, you can proceed with your app. BUT... there are important things you need to have when you arrive at this stage:

- An App name
- An App icon appealing enough for the App Store in color and in design
- A list of keywords
- A 10 lines marketing pitch describing your app making good use of reading patterns
- 4 Screenshots of your app
- A fancy website with in depth explanations
- A demo video if you are good at it
- Email adresses for inquiries and customer support
- A price
- A banking account in case you end up doing revenues

Did we have all that when we came up on iTunes Connect? Well, partially. So we had to fill up the gaps ourselves. And since we believe in our guiding principle, "Do It Yourself" , we did everything ourselves.

Our upcoming posts will describe each of these items in details, one by one, yes we can!
