Android · iOS launch prep community
Work through what blocks your launch, together
SmallDev is not only for recruiting testers. It is a hub for Google Play and App Store launch prep, review responses, privacy answers, store assets, and pre-launch feedback.
iOS
App Store launch prep
- Prepare TestFlight internal/external tester flow and beta review details
- Line up App Privacy answers, privacy policy, and tracking disclosures
- Check screenshots, keywords, review notes, and demo account access
Self-check topics before you submit
On the web we start with checklists people can read and discuss. Automated diagnosis is a separate track tied to in-app analytics.
Review pass likelihood
Start with what stops a review outright: policy violations, blocked sign-in, blank screens, missing demo accounts.
Testing status
Not just the tester count, but whether installs, launches, feedback, and return visits actually happened.
Store listing
Compare your app name, description, screenshots, keywords, and category against how the app is really used.
Privacy and permissions
Match data flows from SDKs, sign-in, analytics, ads, location, and photo access to your store answers.
Feedback loop
Build a board flow that carries a tester's report through reproduction, prioritization, and fix confirmation.
Search visibility
Accumulate questions, retrospectives, and checklists so your work is findable in search before launch.
Community topics
So a developer arriving from search can ask immediately or read an existing case, launch-prep topics link into board search and the feedback exchange.
