After setting up your Apple developer account, upload your iOS app using this guide. The publishing process can vary depending on the plan you subscribe to. Let’s get started:
To get started, you will need access to a MAC operating system. This is a necessary step to install the Transporter app, which will bridge your Apple developer account and AppMySite.
The Transporter app further simplifies uploading your iOS app build directly to your App Store Connect. Before getting started, it's important to ensure that you have the following in place:
Access to a MAC operating system
Transporter app downloaded from the App Store
Finally, here are the steps to upload your app using the Pro plan:
Search “Transporter” in the Spotlight to launch it.
Log in to the Transporter app with your App Store Connect credentials. You may be asked to create an app-specific password during this step.
Drag and drop to upload the .ipa file you downloaded from your AppMySite account to the Add App screen of Transporter.
Now you will see the overview of your mobile app. Click on DELIVER to initiate app upload.
Uploading your iOS app can take up to 15-20 minutes. Once you click the DELIVER button, your iOS app will automatically be moved to your App Store Connect account, in the TestFlight module.
Finally, click on Submit for Review on the top right corner of your App Store Connect account. You will be taken back to your app listing now and the status should have changed to Waiting for Review.
Automatically deploy your iOS app to the Apple App Store with Publish feature. With a premium plan, you don’t need access to a MAC operating system to upload your app.
The following steps explain how you can submit your iOS app to the App Store directly from your AppMySite account.
Step 1: Connect your App developer account to AppMySite
Navigate to Publish in your AppMySite account.
Click on the "+ Connect" button
Enter the Apple ID, Issuer ID, and Key ID and upload the Key file.
How to Generate These Details
