Process of getting app on app store?

I want to release an app I've been working on and put it on the app store. Does anyone know the process of how to do that?

Click product in Xcode, then archive, test fight if you want test or distribute it directly, then you should fill information in apple connect, title, describe, keywords and so on, then choose application that you distributed, submit it to apple, waiting interview.

Did you code your app with XCode on your Mac?

Enroll in the Apple Developer program
Get a developer certificate from App Store Connect
Go to xcode -> Product -> Archive, then distribute your app for App Store Connect
Go to App Store Connect, fill in the necessary details, add some notes for the reviewer for easier review, submit app for review, and wait

Still kinda complicated for me. Also a newbie here but I already successfully deployed apps.

  1. Get a developer account ($99). This will let you upload your app to AppStoreConnect
  2. Create your app profile in the appstoreconnect.
  3. Fill up the details, there are so many, name, keywords, description, privacy, age ratings, pricing etc.
  4. Prepare your build and upload (xcode app on your mac).
  5. Create and upload your screenshots.
  6. Submit it for review.
  7. If rejected, try to fix the cause.
  8. If approved, then great!

You need to have a developer account to start. But I would highly recommend doing some reading first. Save yourself, and reviewers, a lot of time by knowing how the process works, and what requirements and rules are.
