# Publishing an app to the App Store and Google Play from Iraq: steps and requirements

> To publish from Iraq you need an Apple developer account (annual membership) and a Google Play account (one-time registration fee), ideally in your company’s name. Then prepare the listing, screenshots, privacy policy and a reviewer test account, and submit for review, which usually takes a day to several days.

## Why the account should be in your company’s name

An app published from a developer’s personal account stays under their control; if the relationship ends, transferring it can be hard. Open accounts in your company’s name and add the developer as a team member with limited permissions.

## What to prepare before submitting

- App name and short/long descriptions in Arabic and English
- Screenshots at each store’s required sizes
- A high-resolution icon
- A privacy-policy URL on your website
- A reviewer test account if login is required
- Contact and support details

## After publishing

Monitor ratings and crashes, and update with new iOS and Android releases, as stores may require old apps to be updated to stay listed.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I publish on one store only?

Yes, but with Flutter, publishing on both adds little development effort.
