Publishing to the Apple App Store puts your app in front of over a billion iPhone and iPad users. Rey handles the build, code signing, and submission — you focus on filling out the Configure iOS deployment dialog.

​
Before you start

You’ll need each of these set up on Apple’s side before Rey can build and submit your app.

Apple Developer account

Enroll in the Apple Developer Program ($99 USD/year).

Bundle ID

Register a unique identifier for your app.

App record in App Store Connect

Create the App Store listing your builds will be uploaded to.

App Store Connect API key

Team ID, Issuer ID, Key ID, and the .p8 private key.

​
Configure iOS deployment

Open your app in Rey, click Publish in the top toolbar, and choose iOS. The Configure iOS deployment dialog has three tabs — App, Credentials, and Assets. You can save partially and come back later.

​
Submit your app

1

Fill out all three tabs

Complete App, Credentials, and Assets in the Configure iOS deployment dialog, then click Save.
2

Click Publish to App Store

Rey builds your app, signs it with your credentials, and uploads it to App Store Connect.
3

Finish the listing in App Store Connect

Log in to App Store Connect to add screenshots, description, keywords, category, and age rating, then submit for review.
4

Monitor your review status

Apple’s review process typically takes 1–3 business days.
Make sure your app complies with Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines before submitting. Common rejection reasons include misleading descriptions, broken functionality, and missing privacy disclosures.

​
Publishing app updates

When you’re ready to release a new version, make your changes in the Rey editor and click Publish again. Rey increments the version number, rebuilds, and resubmits to App Store Connect. You don’t need to touch Xcode or any build tooling.

​
Plan requirements

Publishing to the App Store is included on all paid plans — Starter, Grow, and Scale.
