Process

Submit your app

Promote your app

This will probably be your first time submitting an app. As a first-time submission, App Store administrators will need to approve your app first. After approval, you will receive an email with a link to your new app page.

Go to your app page. Make sure you're signed in first.

You're now in the app page editor. Make sure to fill out the following:

  1. An icon

  2. A short description of what your app does

  3. Add categories that are appropriate for your app

  4. Add screenshots that show off your app

  5. Fill in details that go into the specifics of your app

  6. Add author information

  7. Fill in links in the resources section.

    • Here you can add links to your app's website, tutorial, or source code repository.
    • After publishing an article about your app, you can add the article's PubMed ID.

    • You can add a link to your app's license. Here's a list of common open source licenses. We recommend LGPL, which is what Cytoscape uses.
