# Publishing overview

Pick a store in Publish, do the step it marks next, and follow your app through review to release.

Pick a store; the step to do now is on top, with everything it needs.

## Steps

1. Click **Publish** in the project bar (on a narrow window, in the app menu).
2. Pick **App Store** or **Google Play**. Each shows how many steps are done.
3. Do the step in the card at the top: a form, a button, or a console page with the values to copy.
4. Repeat until the card offers **Open Releases**.

## Who does what

| FluxNative | You |
| --- | --- |
| Builds and signs the IPA and App Bundle | Join Apple's Developer Program and create a Google Play developer account |
| Sets up signing: bundle ID, certificate, profiles | Accept Apple's agreements, tax and banking |
| Uploads to TestFlight and internal testing | Create the app in each store; upload the first Play bundle by hand |

## Time and fees

| Account | Fee | Lead time |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Apple, individual | US$99 a year | Usually a day or two |
| Apple, organization (D-U-N-S number) | US$99 a year | Often one to two weeks |
| Google Play, personal, created after 13 November 2023 | US$25 once | Three to four weeks, closed test first |
| Google Play, personal, older | US$25 once | Days |

## Good to know

- Apple usually answers a review within a day or two, Google within a few days; a first review can take longer. Fees go to Apple and Google.
- Nothing is submitted or released until you confirm. The assistant can do these steps too, each as a card you approve.
- By default, only owners and admins connect store accounts, send, submit and release.
