iOS Application Publication Guide
This guide is designed for those picking up iOS application publication to get started. Before publishing an iOS application, there are several guidelines you must follow. These are all listed below.
In order to publish iOS applications, we need access to a paid iOS Developer account (currently stipulated at $99/yr). The account we use for development is an iOS University Developer account and does not have permission to publish applications to the Apple App Store. Therefore, the iSENSE team will be publishing all iOS applications through the University of Massachusetts Lowell's iOS Develop account.
The University first requires us to fill out a software disclosure form to get the apps in their system. A separate form must be filled out for every individual app.
The software disclosure form asks you to attach any third-party license to the form when submitting. We do use third party code, so do not forget this step. As of this writing, we use the DLAAlertView and Toast classes provided at the linked Github repositories. Each of these repositories linked will have a license file that you are to copy and attach to the CVIP disclosure form. Additionally, you should check through both your app and the iOS API to ensure no additional third-party code has been utilized. In the event that you find additional third-party code, edit this Wiki to include it above and attach the license(s) to the CVIP form as well.
Every iOS application must have a splash screen that matches the app's icon theme. Please follow the exact template as below:
Sample icon:
Sample splash screen:
The University software team will not publish your application until you submit a Github repository link to them via email for personal review. Be prompt and fix everything they request to speed up the provisioning process. The email to submit to will be dependent on who currently works for that team (we submit to their personal emails, not a unified email), so you will have to figure this out on your own.
In addition to the link to our repository, be sure to also attach a few sample screenshots of the application running. It must be stressed that you ensure our application is not pushing to dev before submitting it to this team. The application in our repo should always be configured to push to live.
iSENSE is published under the BSD 3-clause license. Therefore, you should include the license exactly as follows at the top of every original source file in your iOS application:
