Overview

This guide covers the steps and options for building mobile binary files for Appivo applications.

Mobile binaries are also required for applications to be listed on the Google Play Store (for Android) and Apple App Store (for iOS).

App Store Connect

An administrator must first configure one or more App Store Connect accounts before any iOS apps can be published to the Apple App Store. The App Store Connect service is part of the Apple developer program. https://developer.apple.com/programs/
