Hey DEV Community! 👋
I'm an independent mobile app developer, and I've spent years building and publishing applications.
One thing I've learned is that building an app is only part of the challenge. Getting it ready for release is another.
Every release comes with repetitive tasks:
- Preparing screenshots for different device sizes
- Managing App Store and Google Play listings
- Updating descriptions across languages
- Maintaining release notes and version history
- Reviewing permissions and submission requirements
- Dealing with unexpected app review rejections
I've faced these challenges while publishing my own applications.
So I started building ReleaseYour.App.
🚀 What is ReleaseYour.App?
ReleaseYour.App is a workspace designed to simplify release preparation for iOS and Android developers.
Instead of managing screenshots, descriptions, release notes, and checklists across different tools, the goal is to bring everything into one place.
🛠️ What I've Built
📱 Screenshot Management
Organize App Store and Google Play screenshots for different devices and releases.
🌍 Localized Store Listings
Manage app descriptions and metadata across multiple languages.
✅ Pre-Release Checklists
Track important tasks before submitting your application.
🔍 Rejection Risk Checker
Identify potential App Store submission issues before sending your app for review.
This checker doesn't guarantee approval, but it can help developers spot potential problems earlier.
📝 Release Notes and History
Keep track of release notes, assets, and changes across app versions.
🎯 Looking for My First 10 Developers
The platform is live, and I'm looking for 10 developers willing to test it during a real app release.
I'm especially interested in feedback from:
- Independent iOS and Android developers
- React Native and Flutter developers
- Mobile app development agencies
- Developers who frequently publish app updates
I'll personally help early users get started.
💬 I'd Love Your Feedback
I'm curious about three things:
- What's the most frustrating part of preparing your app for release?
- Have you experienced App Store or Google Play rejections?
- What would make your release workflow easier?
You can explore the platform here:
I'm building this independently, and feedback from other developers would mean a lot.
Thanks for reading! 🙌
