How to Successfully Publish Your App on the App Store or Google Play

As someone who has released many apps starting in 2015 using frameworks such as Cordova and Ionic, and more recently using React Native and Expo, I have learned that the rules for publishing apps can change frequently and can sometimes be challenging to navigate. With that in mind, I want to provide a brief guide to help others navigate the process. While this guide may not cover every aspect of publishing an app, it does cover general tips and information that should be useful for anyone looking to release their app on the App Store or Google Play.

Metadata

Keywords, Description, Screenshots, App Name, Promo Videos

There are significant differences between Apple and Google when it comes to metadata. Apple is generally stricter than Google, so it is advisable to follow Apple's guidelines to ensure the best chances of success on both platforms. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

1. Keep your screenshots and promo videos separat

I started using React Native in September 2018. I always forget some things when I build new apps, so I'll keep track of the gotchas on this post.

Some topics, such as navigation, will be fundamental to how I think about apps. Others, will be one-line helpers that make apps work more smoothly.

It's gotten to the point where I find my own answers from 6 months before on certain Github issues.

I'll keep adding over time as I think of more. If anyone thinks these topics would be useful, let me know and I'll elaborate.

I have made libraries to address a number of the topics here, from navigation to design.
