The Hurdless of Releasing and Maintaining a Mobile App
summary
Building an app with Ionic NativeScript React Native is easy but releasing is full of specifics: need Xcode/Mac, pay $99 for App Store access or $25 for Play Store, hit a 99 device limit for ad‑hoc iOS installs, face 1–7 day review delays, endure 10–15 minute iOS builds and much slower UI tests, use Detox or Appium for device testing, and accept that deployed apps cannot be rolled back so implement version management, remote crash diagnostics and device‑aware debugging before shipping.
