# Publish feature importance

### Do you need the Publish feature to deploy your app?

No, the Publish feature is not mandatory to publish your app. 

However, it significantly streamlines the app submission process. Here's how it benefits you:

#### **Benefits of Using the Publish Feature**

* Publish Your iOS App Build from AppMySite
  * Save time by publishing your iOS app directly from your AppMySite account.
* Eliminates Repeated Apple Developer Account Login
  * No need to log in repeatedly to your Apple Developer account every time you submit an app update.
* Check Your Publish History
  * Monitor and review past submissions conveniently under the Publish section.

Important considerations: 

* The Publish feature is optional but highly recommended for a smoother and faster app submission process.
* You can still manually submit your app through Apple's App Store Connect if you choose not to use the Publish feature.
* Checking your Publish history allows you to track submission progress and review any rejection reasons from Apple.
  {% endhint %}

In summary, while not mandatory, the Publish feature provides a convenient, time-saving solution for submitting your iOS app to the Apple App Store directly from the AppMySite platform.
