How to Publish Native Mobile Apps With Base44

Publishing to the App Store and Google Play involves more than finishing your build — both platforms have review processes with their own requirements, and it pays to prepare for them early.

Before you start: assets you'll need

App icons at multiple resolutions, screenshots for each supported device size, a privacy policy URL, and a clear, accurate app description are required by both stores before you can even submit for review.

Apple's review considerations

Apple reviews apps for functionality, design quality, and policy compliance — apps that feel like a thin wrapper around a website, or that don't clearly explain data use, are common rejection reasons worth avoiding upfront.

Google Play's review considerations

Google's review is generally faster but still enforces data safety disclosures and content policy — fill out the Data Safety form accurately, since mismatches with actual app behavior can trigger removal later, not just at initial review.

Plan for iteration

First submissions get rejected for minor issues more often than founders expect. Build in a few days of buffer between "feature complete" and your target launch date to handle at least one review round-trip.
