# Publish your app

#### How to publish your app?

Publishing your app makes it available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store so users can download it. The process is slightly different for Android and iOS, but you can manage both from your AppMySite dashboard.

#### Publishing on the Google Play Store

1. [**Generate your Android build**](/app/download/android/generate-android-app.md#how-to-generate-a-ready-to-publish-android-app-build) (AAB file) from the dashboard.
2. Sign in to your [**Google Play Console**](/app/download/android/create-google-developer-account.md) account.
3. [**Prepare**](/app/upload/android/prepare-for-android-submission.md) your Google developer account for submission
4. [**Upload**](/app/upload/android/upload-android-app.md#how-to-upload-my-android-app-on-my-google-developer-account) the AAB file.
5. Submit the app for review.

#### Publishing on the Apple App Store

1. [**Generate your iOS build** ](/app/download/ios/generate-ios-app.md#how-to-generate-an-ios-app-build-that-is-ready-to-publish)(IPA file) from the dashboard.
2. Sign in to your [**Apple Developer account**](/app/download/ios/create-apple-developer-account.md) and open App Store Connect.
3. [**Prepare**](/app/upload/ios/prepare-for-ios-submission.md#how-to-prepare-your-apple-developer-account-to-publish-your-ios-app) your Apple developer account for submission. 
4. [**Upload**](/app/upload/ios/upload-ios-app.md#how-do-i-upload-my-ios-app-on-my-apple-developer-account) the IPA file using the Transporter app or Xcode.
5. Submit the app for review.
