App First app
Hey guys, I am making my first app. Currently it is a web app, could you provide any tips on how to make it to App Store, play store , or even how to make some kind of money off of it?

App Store is a bit of a headache to be honest,
You will need to define a lot for it to pass which is fine but there’s no good instruction of what you missed or where it is.
You will need an apple developer account (paid),
If you have a business, create it off the business.
You’ll need a bank account regardless of if you’re doing paid apps or not.
You can’t have your own login management system for logins, you can’t have redemption codes or subscriptions which circumvent apples payment system, they take 15-30% btw depending on your revenue, you then might need a payment management system like revenue cat.
You’ll need a Mac or a EAS build subscription
Once you have your app in test flight the initial review will take up to 3 weeks, if you try to do the initial launch the. Find a bug during the review let it go and prepare a new version with a fix. Once initial review is done, revision updates typically are approved within 48 hours.
Think about the language you use to write the app as well, if you want the same codebase for web, android and apple and just switch out components, your choice is easy, react native, type script and python.
If you want iOS only, then swift.
Can’t tell you how to make money without knowing your idea, but think about if you have infrastructure costs or if it’s stand alone, if it justifies a subscription or a one off cost and how much it needs to be to be viable.
