Introduction
In the past, it used to be very cumbersome to build and successfully publish an app. However, there is much documentation and many unofficial instructions on the Internet today that can pretty much address any problem that you may run into. In addition, Ionic also comes with its own CLI to assist in this process. This chapter will guide you through the app building and publishing steps at a high level. You will learn how to:
Build an iOS and Android app via the Ionic CLI
Publish an iOS app using Xcode via iTunes Connect
Build a Windows Phone app using PhoneGap Build
The purpose of this chapter is to provide ideas on what to look for and some gotchas. Apple, Google, and Microsoft are constantly updating their platforms and processes. So, the steps may not look exactly the same over time.
