Release & Update Ride-Share App on Stores
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Play Store Production Release + iOS App Store Upload for Ride-Share App - 14-Day Test Already Complete
Description:
I have a completed iOS + Android ride-share app for Greytown, SA. App is already uploaded to both Play Console and App Store Connect. I need an experienced publisher to upload a NEW build and get it approved. I already got the new files ( .aab and .ipa ) right of the new updated build i made as improvement on the app so i need these new files uploaded as update before applying for production, as i havent done that yet .
Critical context you must know:
1. Android/Play Console: Closed Testing with 14 testers ran for 14 days and PASSED. The 14-day period expired ∼maybe a month ago. I did NOT click "Apply for Production" yet. App is still stuck in Closed Testing. I’m worried if I just hit “Promote to Production” now Google will reject due to missing updates/metadata. Which i made just didn't upload it still has the whole app from before the 14 trail the one i didn't update during 14 trail.
2. iOS/App Store Connect: App uploaded but needs updated .ipa build + new screenshots + metadata.
Your mission:
1. I’ll WeTransfer you: new .aab, new .ipa, new screenshots, new 1024x1024 logo, updated descriptions, demo logins for driver + passenger.
2. Android/Play Console - this is the tricky part:
◦ Upload new .aab with incremented versionCode/versionName
◦ Review if Google still allows "Promote to Production" after 14-day test expired. If yes, do it immediately, of course after solving all my problems so we dont get rejected i prefer to restart 14 trail.
◦ If Google requires a new test or rejects, use your experience: either fix issues + re-run 14-day test, OR advise best path to avoid delays. I prefer you fix + push to Production in 1 go if possible.
◦ Complete all "App content": Data safety form, Content rating, Target audience, Ads declaration
◦ Upload new screenshots, feature graphic, new logo
3. iOS/App Store Connect:
◦ Upload new .ipa via Transporter/Xcode with higher build number
◦ Update app name, description, keywords, screenshots, logo
◦ Fill App Privacy questionnaire
◦ Add demo login credentials in "App Review Information" for Apple reviewer
◦ Submit for review
4. Monitor both stores. Handle any rejection feedback and resubmit until approved.
Access: I’ll invite you as "Admin" in Play Console + "App Manager" in App Store Connect. You use my accounts only.
Mission Success = Done when:
1. Android app status = "Published" in Production track. Live on Play Store.
2. iOS app status = "Ready for Sale". Live on App Store.
3. You send me screenshots of both live listings + a 1-page handover doc: versionCode/build used, what you changed, so I can update myself next time.
Requirements:
1. Proven experience promoting app from Closed Testing → Production AFTER 14-day test expired. Tell me how you handled it on past apps.
2. 10+ apps published to both stores. No first-timers.
3. Own Mac + Xcode + Transporter for iOS
4. Can start in 24h and keep me updated daily
Budget: $40-60 fixed. Timeline: 3-5 days incl review time.
