For iOS developers who already have an app running (on simulator or device) and want to publish it on the App Store without the pain. No prior release needed — this is made for your first time.

No. You can read the guide alongside development to anticipate every step (Apple Developer account, certificates, screenshots, ASO). Most traps are fixed upstream, not the day before review.

A big half-day to skim everything, then one to two days to apply each step to your app. The Apple Developer account takes 24 to 48 hours to validate, factor that into your timeline.

No, it's an Apple subscription at 99 USD/year, paid directly to Apple. The guide helps you choose between Individual and Organization, avoid the payment traps, and set up your team correctly from day one.

An entire part is dedicated to it: what gets you rejected (mandatory login without a test account, badly configured in-app purchase, misleading metadata), how to write review notes, and how to respond cleanly to a rejection when it happens.
