About this project
There is no substitute for going through App Store Connect: certificates, profiles, screenshots, App Review, the rejection cycle, the metadata. Pick a small but real app — a habit tracker, a recipe scaler, a tip splitter. Ship it. Recruiters care a lot more about App Store presence than about any tutorial-following.
Why build this in 2026?
One shipped App Store app outweighs any 5 tutorial projects on your iOS resume.
What you'll ship
- App live on the App Store (free is fine)
