Preparing your App
In this TechNote, we'll cover what you need to do to submit your app to Apple's iOS App Store.
Apple is concerned that apps in its store work as described and do not cause any security risk. They also care that the apps provide some unique functionality and follow their Human Interface Guidelines. The results have been good: Apps in the iOS App Store are usually pretty good, and the store is now one of the largest software resellers on the planet.
The method used will be to take an AppStudio app, use PhoneGap Build to produce a .ipa file, then submitting that to Apple.
You can use this procedure for any AppStudio project. It will also work if your project uses the PhoneGap API. It will not work if you are using third party PhoneGap plug ins: for those, you will need to use the PhoneGap SDK method.
Start by testing your app as much as possible while it is still a web app. It will be much easier to make changes, fixes and improvements at this stage.
