Launch on App Store & Google Play

You built it with RapidNative. We'll handle the rest: certificates, builds, store listings, and submission. Stress-free.

For pricing, payment, and to start, visit rapidnative.com/deploy.

Why this exists

Building the app is the easy part. Getting it into the app stores is where most people get stuck:

  • Certificates & Code Signing. Apple certificates, provisioning profiles, code signing. It's confusing and one mistake means starting over.
  • Store Listings & Compliance. Screenshots, descriptions, privacy policies, data safety forms, content ratings. Every platform has different requirements.
  • Rejections & Delays. One wrong setting and Apple rejects your app. Then you're debugging review guidelines instead of building your product.

Plans

Launch — $499 one-time (single platform)

  • App Store OR Google Play submission
  • Code signing & certificate setup

Add-ons

How it works (4 steps)

  1. Choose Your Plan. Pick Launch or Launch Pro and complete payment. You'll get instant access to the onboarding form.
  2. Share Access. Invite us to your App Store Connect and Google Play Console with limited permissions. Share your RapidNative project. We'll walk you through every step.
  3. We Build & Submit. We export your code, configure everything, create the store listing, and submit to Apple and Google for review.
  4. You're Live. Apple typically reviews in 1-3 days, Google in hours to 2 days. Once approved, your app is live and we send you the store links.

What you provide

Required:

  • Apple Developer Account ($99/year). Apple requires identity verification, so we can't create this on your behalf.
  • Google Play Developer Account ($25 one-time). Same requirement.
  • Your RapidNative project (we'll export the code).
  • App name and a short description of what it does.

Nice to have:

  • Your own app description or marketing copy
  • Brand colors / style preferences for the listing
  • Specific keywords you want to rank for

What we handle

  • Full store listing copy (descriptions, keywords, category)
  • Screenshots, generated from your app
  • Privacy policy, generated for your use
  • Content rating questionnaire
  • Data safety / App Privacy forms
  • App icon formatting (or custom design as a Launch Pro feature / +$99 add-on)

Timeline

  • We submit within 5 to 7 business days for a single platform (Launch), 7 to 10 for both (Launch Pro). Add expedited for 3 business days.
  • Apple review usually takes 1 to 3 days after submission. Google is usually faster (hours to 2 days).
  • Total time from start to live: roughly 2 to 3 weeks depending on the platforms and any rejection fixes.

Account security

You stay the owner. We don't store credentials.

  • For Apple, you invite us to App Store Connect as an App Manager (a limited role). We never see your password.
  • For Google, you invite us with Release Manager permissions on your Play Console.
  • Once your app is live, you can revoke our access immediately.
  • If you'd rather not invite a third party, we can run the submission via a screen-sharing session instead.

Ownership

100%. Everything is published under YOUR developer account. We never own or control your app. You can revoke our access anytime after launch.

Rejections

Rejections happen, it's normal. The Launch plan includes one round of rejection fixes. Launch Pro includes two rounds. Common rejection reasons include missing privacy policy, incomplete metadata, or UI issues. We fix these and resubmit.

Refund policy

  • If we haven't started work yet: full refund.
  • If we've started but your app isn't submitted yet: 50% refund.
  • Once submitted: no refund (the work is done).
  • If your app gets rejected and we can't fix it after the included rounds: 50% refund.
