PublishingPublish to app stores
Ready for the stores
What the check looks at before you send an app to a store.
The first page of the window lists what the stores will look for, and ticks what this app already has. What is missing comes with a button that fixes it.
| Check | What it means |
|---|---|
| Published on the web | Easy packages the published address, so the app has to be online first. |
| Store icon | The icon in every size the stores ask for, made when you publish. It is your own site icon if you set one, otherwise a letter on the app's colour. |
| Delete account button | Apple refuses an app people can sign up to unless they can also delete their account. If yours has none, Add with AI writes the request for it. |
| Privacy policy page | Both stores ask for a link to one, for every app. Add with AI writes the request for it. |
| Fits a phone screen | The home page is measured on a phone. When something sticks out, See it shows you where and Fix with AI writes the request. |
| Store screenshots | The pictures for the store page. See Store screenshots. |
| Store guidelines check | A second look at the app against the App Store's or Google Play's rules, with a score out of 100 and what to fix. Advice, not a promise. On paid plans. |
Not every row shows for every app. Store icon appears once the app is published, Delete account button only for an app with sign-in, and Fits a phone screen is left out for games drawn on a canvas. The privacy policy check looks for a page or file that mentions privacy, so it says the app "seems to have one".
Every Add with AI and Fix with AI here only puts a request in the chat. You read it and press Send yourself, and it costs what a change costs.
The store guidelines check, in detail
Press App Store or Google Play. The check reads the app's code and gives a score out of 100, a one-sentence summary and a list of items marked fail, warn or pass. The bar is green from 80, amber from 60 and red below. A small chip shows the change since the last score.
It uses no credits. The report is in the language of your last prompt.
Fix with AI appears when anything failed or needs a look. It puts a request in the chat and closes the window. When the change is finished the window opens again and scores the app again by itself, so you see the new score straight away. That change costs what any change costs.
Fits a phone screen, in detail
The home page is opened out of sight at the width of a phone (390 pixels) and measured. It costs nothing. When something is wider than the screen, the row says what: the top menu does not fit, or a number of parts stick out. See it closes the window and switches the preview to a phone, and Fix with AI writes the request for the chat. When the page cannot be measured, the row says so and suggests you look at it as a phone before you send it.
A landing page or a marketing site scores low on the guidelines check, and no amount of fixing changes that: to a store it is a website, not an app. Apps with sign-in, saved data and features people come back to fare best. If the stores are the goal, build a Mobile App from the start.
