Day 19: The slopes of Mount Doom
Monday, August 11, 2025
I finally made it. I’ve sent the last TestFlight out to my beta testers, and everything seems to be working properly. The paywall had some last-minute tweaks it required to support dark mode. And everything on the App Store side of things is all squared away. I’m submitting the final initial release build to App Review tonight with the hopes of launching the app in the next day or two after approval.
During this time, though, I’m going to be working on all the marketing material I plan to send out to a handful of online news outlets to promote the app. I’m going to hold off on doing this until I know the paywall and everything works in production once the app is on the App Store. However, I feel like the hard work, and the work that usually is the most important initial, is getting these marketing materials all squared away and professional-looking.
