Ready to go live?

Ok, now for the exciting part - going live! You have done an excellent job in preparing your app, it's time to show it off to the world. This guide will outline the process to making your app available worldwide for anyone to download on the App Store and Google Play Store. 

NOTE: WE RECOMMEND TO TEST YOUR APP BEFORE GOING LIVE TO ENSURE THE BEST USER EXPERIENCE. SEE THE FOLLOWING GUIDE ON TESTING YOUR APP [LINK].

Step One: Test your app 

The test version of your app is exactly how customers will see your app. You should make sure everything is in order before going live to avoid customer complaints and a negative user experience. Follow the testing guide before going live here [LINK]. 

Step Two: Submit to Hype Burst for launch!

Once you are happy with your app and the content within, submit a request to Hype Burst to make your app live. The Hype Burst publishing team will then prepare your app for submission to the App Store and Google Play Store for review. To do this, email us on [e-mail]. You can use the following template:

Step Three: App review by App Stores

Hype Burst will prepare your app submission to the App Stores for review. iOS review times vary from 1 - 5 days depending on how busy they are. Google are generally able to publish an app within 1 day. Each platforms review team will check that your app meets their guidelines before making it "Ready For Sale" and publishing in the App Stores. You will receive an email confirmation once your app has passed the review phase and is officially published in the App Stores. 

98% of Hype Burst apps are published after first review. If your app has been rejected, don't worry, we will let you know what you need to change and resubmit the app for you.
