App Store Submission Packager

Checklist-driven preparation for mobile store submissions. Does not handle credentials or automated upload unless user explicitly configures CI with secrets.

When to use

• First submission or major version bump
• Review rejection remediation
• Cross-platform release alignment

When not to use

• Internal TestFlight/Play internal testing only (see `ios-testflight-github-actions`)
• Web-only deploy

Pre-submission checklist

App binary

• [ ] Release configuration (no debug flags, correct signing)
• [ ] Privacy-sensitive APIs declared (iOS Privacy Manifest / Play Data safety)

• [ ] Keywords / category appropriate
• [ ] Support URL and privacy policy URL live
• [ ] Age rating questionnaire complete

Assets

Compliance

• [ ] Export compliance / encryption questions answered
• [ ] Third-party SDK disclosures (ATT, analytics, payments)

Platform notes

| Platform | Common rejection causes | |----------|-------------------------| | iOS | Incomplete metadata, broken links, guideline 4.x privacy, login demo missing | | Android | Data safety form mismatch, target API level, permissions justification |

Output

• Completed checklist with blockers highlighted
• Draft release notes for store listing
• List of assets still missing

Safety

• Never commit provisioning profiles, keystores, or API keys
• Use team secret stores for signing material
