Original: Shopify App Store Submission — 14 Things I Wish I Knew Before My First Submit

Short summary

A developer shares 14 hard-won lessons from submitting Shopify apps to the App Store, covering exact screenshot dimensions (1600×900), mandatory screencast videos, listing copy rules that reject absolute claims and keyword stuffing, and hidden capability checkboxes that only appear after category selection. The post includes a pre-submission checklist covering icon size, screenshot specs, feature media, SEO fields, privacy URLs, and testing instructions. Review times were 3 days rather than the commonly cited 3-5 weeks, suggesting developers should submit early and iterate.

  • Exact screenshot dimensions are 1600×900 with devicePixelRatio=1; HiDPI screens silently produce rejected 2400×1350 images
  • Listing copy must avoid absolute claims, comparative language, and keyword stuffing — describe mechanisms instead
  • Review took 3 days not 3-5 weeks; submit and iterate rather than waiting for perfection
