Resources

Read beforeyou ship.

Official documentation and guidance we rely on. Filter by topic. External links go to the publishers’ own sites; we are not affiliated with them.

Pre-flight habit

Before every release, install the build from the test track on a device that has never had the app. It catches missing assets, first-run crashes and onboarding bugs that never appear on developers’ phones.

Keep a release log

One line per release: version, date, what changed, rollout percentage, anything odd. It makes support conversations and store review responses much faster.
