How to submit your app for Shipyard

Submitting an app to Shipyard involves ensuring that judges can reliably install and evaluate it during the hackathon without needing to go through app store reviews or release requirements. Participants must adhere to specific rules, such as creating a mobile app for iOS or Android with mandatory RevenueCat integration for in-app purchases or subscriptions. The app must be available on TestFlight for iOS or a Google Play testing track for Android, though publishing on app stores is optional and does not affect judging. Developers retain full ownership of their intellectual property, and any post-hackathon collaborations with influencers are independent of RevenueCat. Submissions should include a stable, testable MVP, with judges primarily using demo videos for initial evaluations, while winning apps undergo full installation and testing to ensure compliance with RevenueCat integration and functionality.
