App store submission checklist

Run through this before every submission to the App Store or Google Play. It covers the build, privacy, payments, store listing and legal items that most often hold up a release.

Build & technical

No placeholder, beta, demo or "coming soon" content.
Correct version / build number (iOS) or versionName / versionCode (Android).
Android: target API meets the current Play requirement; release build not debuggable.
iOS: complete app icon set and a launch storyboard.
HTTPS everywhere; ATS / cleartext traffic not broadly disabled.

Privacy & permissions

iOS: PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy present and accurate.
Every permission has a clear purpose string / in-context disclosure.
Android: Data safety form matches actual SDK behavior.
iOS: ATT prompt shown before any cross-app tracking.
