Publishing your app to the Apple App Store and Google Play requires active developer accounts, the correct permissions, and completed publishing details in the Buildfire Control Panel. Once everything is set up, Buildfire’s publishing team handles the submission process on your behalf.
This guide walks through everything you need to complete before clicking Publish My App.
Requirements
An Apple Developer Program account ($99/year)
A Google Play Developer account ($25 one-time fee)
A paid Buildfire plan
Admin access granted to Buildfire in both developer accounts
What do I need to publish my app?
Create your Apple Developer Program account
The cost is $99 per year.
This account is required to publish apps to the Apple App Store.
In App Store Connect, go to Users and Access, click the + icon, and add publishing3@buildfire.com with admin permissions.
Create your Google Play Developer account
The cost is a one-time $25 fee.
Choose the correct account type (Individual or Business/Organization) based on how your app is branded.
In Google Play Console, add publishing3@buildfire.com as an admin user.
Complete your publishing information
In the Buildfire Control Panel, go to Settings → App Publishing Info.
Fill out all required fields, including app details and store information.
Click Save once all fields are completed.
Submit your app for publishing
Click Publish My App.
Your app is sent to the Buildfire publishing team.
The team handles submission to both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
After submission, you’ll receive automated emails from Apple and/or Google confirming the review status, along with a separate manual update from our publishing team once the submission is completed on your behalf.
Pro tips
Only the account holder can complete enrollment and payment for Apple and Google developer accounts.
Make sure all publishing fields are filled out completely to avoid submission delays.
Once submitted, Buildfire manages the review and publishing process for both platforms.
