How to Publish Your App to the App Store in 2026
Blog post from Bubble
Publishing a Bubble app to the App Store involves enrolling in Apple's Developer Program, preparing and submitting the app through App Store Connect, and ensuring compliance with Apple's technical and privacy requirements. This process requires setting up an Apple Developer account, creating an app record, connecting API keys, and packaging builds, all of which can be done without a Mac or Xcode using Bubble's one-click publishing feature. Developers must focus on providing accurate app information, metadata, and privacy disclosures to avoid common rejections, such as broken demo credentials or undisclosed data collection. Bubble simplifies the technical aspects by automatically managing SDK compliance and build uploads, allowing developers to concentrate on the business and user experience aspects of their app. Testing through TestFlight is recommended before submission to catch potential issues, and after approval, developers can choose how to release their app, whether automatically, manually, or on a scheduled basis.
