Getting your React Native app into the App Store is a thrilling moment-your creation is about to reach iOS users everywhere! Submitting to the App Store might seem intimidating, especially if it’s your first time, but don’t worry. This beginner-friendly guide will walk you through every step of submitting a React Native iOS app using Expo SDK 51, compatible with React Native 0.75.4 and Xcode 16+ (iOS 18 SDK). We’ll cover setting up your project, preparing for Apple’s review, and launching your app, all on macOS (required for iOS submissions). No prior App Store experience is needed, and we’ll explain key terms along the way. For a quicker start, explore prebuilt templates at Instamobile or Dopebase.

Let’s see how we can avoid the notch in React Native projects, with the help of SaveAreaView, a component that’s built into the React Native core.
