  10. Version Information:
    • Choose the version number and build number for your app.
    • Add release notes if there are any significant changes.

  11. Submit for Review:
    • Carefully review all the information you've provided.
    • Click Submit for Review to initiate the app review process.
  12. App Review and Release:
    • Apple's review team will assess your app.
    • Address any feedback they provide and follow up with the review team if needed.
    • Once approved, your app will be available on the App Store!

Additional Notes:

  • Apple's review process can take time. Be patient and prepared to address any feedback they provide.
  • For detailed information and screenshots, refer to Apple's official App Store submission guide (https://developer.apple.com/ios/submit/).

This guide should help you navigate the App Store publishing process. Remember, providing a high-quality app with accurate information increases your chances of a smooth review and successful launch.

Today, we'll embark on a beginner-friendly adventure to understand its basics. Learning the ABCs:  The Fundamentals of Java Imagine Java as a set of instructions a computer can understand. Just like you follow steps to build a Lego set, Java code gives clear instructions to create programs. We'll start by learning these essential building blocks: Variables : These are like tiny boxes that hold information you use in your code, like numbers or text. Operators : Think of them as tools.

Git Challenge V

  Git Challenge V Challenge 1: Show all the details of commits that mark items as “done” For this challenge, you need to find all of the commits where items have been ticked off as “done”; that is, ones that have an “x” inside the brackets, like so: `[x]` Solution You’ll need to search for the above string, and you’ll need to use an option to not only show the basic commit details but also show the contents of the changeset of the commit.
