Publish to the App Store (Coming Soon)
Turn your OverSkill app into a real iPhone app on the App Store — published under your own Apple account, with your own name and icon.
Coming Soon — App Store publishing is in early access. Contact support to join the waitlist.
Your OverSkill app already works beautifully on phones straight from the browser. Soon you'll be able to take it a step further: publish it as a real app on the Apple App Store, listed under your own name and icon, that people download the way they download any other app.
This isn't a copy or a rebuild. It's the same app you already built — wrapped in a native app shell so it can live on the App Store, send notifications, and use the phone's camera and other features like any App Store app.
What you get
- Your app, on the App Store — searchable, downloadable, with a real listing and reviews.
- Under your own Apple account — you own the app and the developer account. Your brand is front and center; OverSkill stays invisible.
- Your icon and launch screen — from a single square image, we generate the complete set of app icons plus a matching branded launch screen.
- A native app shell — so your app feels like a real iPhone app, not a website in a box.
- Push notifications — reach people right on their home screen (see Mobile app capabilities for what's supported).
The flow, start to finish
Setup is a guided wizard — plan on about 15–20 minutes of hands-on work, spread across five steps:
- Apple account — set up your Apple Developer account and tick off a short checklist. See Prepare your Apple Developer account.
- Connect — paste in a secure key so we can upload builds and manage your listing for you (no wrestling with Xcode).
- Branding — set your app's name, icon, and launch colors.
- Capabilities & privacy — review what your app can do and what data it touches. We detect this automatically.
- Review & publish — confirm how you sell (this differs by country), then tap Publish.
After you publish, you can watch the progress: Build & sign → TestFlight → App Review → Live on the App Store. Every build lands on your own phone first (through Apple's TestFlight) so you can confirm it looks right before it ever reaches Apple's review team. App Review itself usually takes 24–72 hours; a brand-new Apple account's very first app can take up to about two weeks.
What OverSkill handles — and what's yours to do
We handle the heavy lifting:
- Wrapping your web app in the native app shell
- Generating your full app-icon set and launch screen
- Code-signing, building, and uploading the app
- Pushing your listing details and submitting for review
You handle the parts only you can:
- Enrolling in the Apple Developer Program (it's your account — see the next article)
- Accepting Apple's agreements
- Creating the app's record in App Store Connect (one quick manual step Apple requires)
- Choosing your branding and confirming the test build on your phone
Current status
App Store publishing is in early access. During early access, the OverSkill team runs the builds for you behind the scenes — so you complete the setup wizard and we take it from there. Fully automated builds and live App Review tracking are on the way as the feature matures.
