Configuring iOS Version Information

iOS Previews and Screenshots:

Here is where you can upload your app’s screenshots and an app preview (video), according to Apple Dimensions, to be represented with your app on the Apple Store. Make sure to upload both the iPhone 5.5” display and the iPhone 6.5” display, as they are mandatory.

Note that screenshots and app previews MUST be taken from the actual app, as Apple will reject your submission if your screenshots and previews are not compatible with the app preview on your device.

For more information regarding screenshot dimensions, check out this Apple guide.

Note that App screen recording is a must, as Apple will reject your app if you don't provide a video preview of your app:

1.) You can upload your iPhone screen-recorded video and screenshots to the iOS Previews and Screenshots section, and if you have an iPad, you can also upload them for your iPad version.

2.) Or you can upload it to YouTube or any website capable of turning your video into a URL. Then add it to the Notes section in the App Review Information section.

Version Information:

  • Promotional Text: To tell App Store users about any new features of your app without having to submit an update.
  • Description: Provide a detailed description of your app's functions and how it works regarding app functionality and features

Note that your app's promotional text and description are very important, as Apple will reject your app if both are not unique enough. As an app owner, you should mention what exactly your app represents; we don’t recommend adding a description like "Messenger app", as there are a lot of messenger apps on the Apple Store that serve the same functionality.

  • Keywords: Add one or more terms that describe your app. Keywords make it easier to find what you want in the App Store. Use an English comma, a Chinese comma, or both to separate terms.
  • Support URL: Add your support link.
  • Marketing URL: Add your marketing URL. [Optional]
  • Version: Add the number of the app's version that you are adding.
  • Copyright: Add the name of the person or organization that owns your app's exclusive rights.
  • Routing App Coverage File: Indicate in which regions your app works. The file type must be geojson format, and you can only have one MultiPolygon element. [Optional]
