Common Problems I Solve

"My certificate expired & build is broken" → Regenerate certificates, fix provisioning. Build in 2 hours.

"I don't have an Apple Developer Account" → Help you set one up. Guide through business verification.

"App Store rejected it 3 times" → Review rejection reason, fix issues, resubmit. Usually resolved in 1-2 attempts.

"Don't know what to put in App Store screenshots" → Write compelling copy. Suggest screenshots that convert.

"Forgot to add privacy policy" → Set up & configure. App Store accepts in next update.

"Build size is 150MB, won't upload" → Debug & reduce. Most apps can hit 100MB+ limits.

"TestFlight tester keeps crashing" → Review crash logs. Fix bugs. Redeploy.

Why This Service Matters

Most developers focus on building the app, then get stuck on deployment. It's tedious but critical:

Apple is strict. Wrong certificate = instant rejection. We know all the rules.

First impression counts. App Store screenshots & description make or break downloads. We optimize for conversions.

Process is opaque. Review times vary. Rejection reasons are vague. We handle the back-and-forth.

Updates need discipline. Each build needs proper versioning, testing, resubmission. We automate it.

Result: App live on App Store in days, not weeks of frustration.

Process

Day 1: Access your Xcode project, review build setup, identify issues.

Day 2-3: Generate certificates, set up provisioning profiles, create TestFlight build, do internal testing.

Day 4: Prepare App Store metadata (screenshots, description, privacy policy). Upload to App Store Connect. Submit for review.

Days 5+: Monitor review, handle feedback, resubmit if needed.

Launch: App goes live on App Store.
