Tips for a successful AppStore submission? [closed]

Answer 1

Display name and name should be similar or identical unless you know that they don't need to be (for example twitteriffic and twitteriffic premium both display as 'twitteriffic' on the iphone but they're different apps with different names).

Bundle identifier is the Apple equivalent of a registry path in some ways, windows developers would use HKLM\Software\Company\Application - Apple uses a convention more like com.companyname.appname.

(Disclaimer: no knowledge of AppStore development, just a small amount of knowledge on Macs and plist files)

Answer 2

When you submit there is a box for you to enter any demo account details that might be needed by your application.

This box is also a good place to put any extra details that the reviewers may find helpful when checking your application.

Answer 3

If it's an iPad app, don't mention iPad in either the app name when you submit it or the display name in your Info.plist.

This was a bit of a bugbear for me because I have "one" app (two binaries) that has a different interface for iPhone and iPad - I couldn't call the iPad version "Symmetry Lab" because that's what the iPhone app is called, couldn't call it "Symmetry Lab iPad" because you can't say iPad in the name, and didn't want to call it "Symmetry Lab HD" because it has more differences than resolution. I ended up settling for "Symmetry Lab Pro."
