Rocket generates production-ready Flutter code that you can publish directly to the Apple App Store. This guide covers every step from registering in App Store Connect to submitting your build for review.
Before you start:
  • An Apple Developer account ($99/year)
  • A Mac with Xcode installed
  • Store listing assets: app name, description, icon, screenshots, and a privacy policy URL
Publishing to the App Store requires Xcode on a Mac. This process is not available in the Rocket mobile app. If you want to share your app without the store, launch it as a web preview or download an APK for Android testing.

Steps

1

Export your code from Rocket

In the Build editor, open the Code tab and click Download in the toolbar to export your project as a .zip file. Extract it on your Mac. This is the Flutter project you will open in Xcode.
