Rork builds and uploads for you, on its own machines. You do not need a Mac, Xcode, or Android Studio. What Rork cannot do is be you. Each store wants an account in your name, your identity verified, and your listing written. Start those early, because the waiting is the slow part, not the building.

Pick your route

The web

Fastest. No account, no review, no install. Publish and share a link today.

App Store

An Apple Developer membership at $99 a year, and Apple’s review.

Google Play

A $25 one-time registration, and a closed test for new personal accounts.
The three are not exclusive. One project can hold an iPhone app, an Android app, and a web app, and many founders publish the web app first to test the idea while the store accounts are being verified. See Convert your app between iOS, Android, and web.

Before you submit anywhere

  • Test the thing you are shipping, on a real device, not only in the preview.
  • Have your policies ready. Both stores ask for a privacy policy, and a subscription needs terms. See How to create a privacy policy.
  • Decide how it makes money before the listing, because pricing and paywalls affect review. See How to add a paywall with RevenueCat.
