LimAI handles the parts that usually take a week β€” icon, screenshots, EAS build, signing, submission. You sign in to Apple once; the rest is a wizard.

Before you start

  1. Active Apple Developer Program membership ($99/yr).
  2. A team or individual App Store Connect account.
  3. Your app at a point where you're proud to show it.

The publish wizard

  1. 1
    Connect Apple Developer

    Generate an App Store Connect API key in your developer portal and paste it once. We store it encrypted, scoped to your account.

  2. 2
    App icon

    Claude proposes 3 icons generated from your app's vibe. Pick one or upload your own.

  3. 3
    Screenshots

    We run your app through the screens, capture frames, and add headlines tuned for App Store search. Re-roll until you like them.

  4. 4
    Rejection scan

    Before submit we sweep for the common rejection triggers β€” missing privacy policy, account deletion, IAP wording, 4.7 grey zones.

  5. 5
    Build + submit

    EAS Build produces the binary. EAS Submit pushes to TestFlight or the App Store. You get an email when it lands.

⚠️
Apple guideline 4.7 (mini-apps)

If your app generates other apps or lets users execute arbitrary code, you're in a grey zone. LimAI's rejection scan flags this β€” read the warning carefully before pushing to production.
