App Development

Table of Contents

Here is a general outline of the steps involved in releasing an official app to the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store:

Develop your app: The first step is to develop your app using the appropriate tools and frameworks for the platform(s) you are targeting. For iOS, you will need to use Xcode and the iOS SDK, and for Android, you will need to use Android Studio and the Android SDK.
Test your app: Once your app is developed, it is important to test it thoroughly to ensure that it is stable and functions as intended. This may involve testing on different devices and operating system versions to ensure compatibility.
Create an account with the app stores: In order to submit your app to the app stores, you will need to create a developer account with each store. For the Apple App Store, you will need to pay an annual fee of $99, and for the Google Play Store, you will need to pay a one-time fee of $25.
Prepare your app for submission: Before you can submit your app, you will need to prepare it for review by the app stores. This may involve creating screenshots and videos to showcase your app, writing a description and keywords for your app, and creating icons and other graphics for the app listing.
Submit your app for review: Once you have prepared your app for submission, you can submit it to the app stores for review. The review process can take a few days to a few weeks, depending on the store and the complexity of your app.
Publish your app: If your app is approved by the app stores, you can publish it to the store(s) and make it available to users.

If your wanting to make a web app ( app that links to your website ) for iOS then all you have to do is start a new Xcode project and select the iOS -> App template. Enter your product name and select “SwiftUI” for the interface and “Swift” for the language. Once your project loads select the “ViewController” on the left side of the screen. Now replace all the code with the code shown below.

import UIKit
import WebKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate {
var webView: WKWebView!

override func loadView() {
webView = WKWebView()
webView.navigationDelegate = self
view = webView
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()

let url = URL(string: “https://AddYourWebsiteHere.com”)!
webView.load(URLRequest(url: url))
webView.allowsBackForwardNavigationGestures = true
}

}

Now all you have to do is replace the URL that says “AddYourWebsiteHere” with your websites address.

Now you can build and run your new iOS App!
