Hey! 👋 Here's what I promised you:
The complete guide to publishing on both stores
App Store (Apple) — the review is a bit strict and takes time to get validated, and you pay $99 per year (Apple Developer Program).
Play Store (Google) — easier for developers: the review is fast, they have easy and quick beta testing, and you pay $25 once in your lifetime.
My recommendation: start with Play Store — put the app up right away, test it, see the users' feedback, then move to the App Store once the app is polished.

- Create an account on Google Play Console and pay the $25 (one time, not per year).
- Create app → fill in the store listing: name, description, screenshots, icon.
- Upload your build (AAB) to a testing track first — run a beta with testers and collect the feedback.
- Then move to Production — Google's review is usually fast and you publish quickly.
- Once the app is polished with the feedback: create an Apple Developer account ($99/year) and upload the app via App Store Connect — and expect a slightly longer and stricter review.
