Readiness Audit
Reviewing what is required to turn a functional build into a compliant, store-ready app.
Service
Publisher and App Store Operations
Majotek takes charge of the Publisher layer when an application needs to be published, monetized, and operated with professional rigor on the App Store and Google Play.
Definition
What this service entails
Publishing an app is not just uploading a binary file. It requires preparing store assets, in-app purchases, metadata, guideline reviews, and continuous operational maintenance.
The Publisher layer becomes invaluable when teams want to avoid launching into an unprepared, chaotic release cycle.
Business Challenge
What the company is resolving
Many mobile products reach 90% completion without a clear plan for store submission, compliance reviews, subscription logic, or post-launch versioning.
This introduces unnecessary launch delays and friction just when the product should be gathering live user feedback.
Fit

- Teams with a completed or near-complete mobile app.
- Apps with subscription or in-app purchase business models.
- Companies needing experienced guidance with store operations and release versioning.
Limits
When it does not fit
- Projects that do not yet have a minimum functional build to submit.
- Apps lacking basic product strategy or commercial intent.
Solutions
What can be built
- Store listing preparation and asset optimization.
- Subscription and monetization setup.

Comparison
Common alternatives
| Topic | This service | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Internal Management | Works well if your internal team has seasoned store release expertise. | When that experience is lacking, external publisher support avoids costly delays. |
| Development Only | Developing code alone does not guarantee store approval or ongoing maintenance. | Publisher bridges the gap between engineering and live store success. |
