Guides

Updated August 31, 2026 · by Sardorbek Rakhimov

Practical walkthroughs of the work around every App Store release: submission checks, metadata, TestFlight, localization, and pricing. Apple-specific rules link to primary sources where available, and each guide is useful on its own — with or without ShipZen. The editorial policy explains how sources, dates, and corrections are handled.
