Creation date: 5/6/2021 8:45 AM    Updated: 1/12/2024 7:41 PM
Before you can upload the app for review the following final steps should be completed, while the publisher's app is in the Prepare for Submission state.


STEP 01 - Create App Listing Screenshots


Screenshots are important, because they show readers what a publisher's app will look like before readers download the app.

Below are the required dimensions for the App Store screenshots:

  • iPhone (6.7") (1290 x 2796px JPG Format)
  • iPhone (5.5″) (1242 x 2208px JPG Format)
  • iPad    (12.9″) (2048 x 2732px JPG Format)


STEP 02 - Uploading Preview Screenshots

Once the screenshots are ready, login to App Store Connect > click My Apps > select the app icon.

In the next screen, click on Prepare For Submission in the left-sidebar menu.

Under Version Information, you can then either drag-and-drop the screenshots on to the designated area or click Choose File and select the screenshots from your computer.



The screenshots are autosaved after each set is done uploading. 

TIP! Upload one set of screenshots at a time.

To delete a screenshot, hover over the screenshot and then click the red “-” icon on the top-left corner of the image.

Note: this is only possible when App Store Connect is in an editable state.


STEP 03 - Select The App's In App Purchases

Next, scroll down to the In App Purchases section
Click on the “+” plus icon



In the next screen, select all the Paid Subscription as well as the first issue’s Non-consumable In App Purchase setup previously.




Once all the In App Purchases are selected, click on Done.


STEP 04 - Update the Version number of the App

The final step is to update the version number of the app.

To find the new version number go to MagCast and click on the Setup menu.
At the bottom of the Setup menu you will find the latest version number of the app.


Copy the number and then go back to App Store Connect.
Scroll down to the General App Information section and paste in the number in the Version field.



Once done, click Save in the top-right corner of the Prepare for Submission page.
