Overview

What App Store Connect is

App Store Connect is the operational interface for distributing an Apple app. It supports app records, beta testing, submissions, analytics, and financial reports, with an API for supported automation. AI can help prepare assets or code, but the release still needs accurate metadata and review.

For a first workflow, check identifiers, roles, store information, and required disclosures. Distribute a suitable build through TestFlight and verify key flows. Confirm assets, privacy details, and release settings before submitting.
