Before publishing
- 1Finish the builder checks
Test signup, sign-in, sign-out, password recovery if used, and owner/member separation. Create a real record and confirm it stays after a reload. Check phone screens, keyboard access and readable text.
- 2Connect only services you need
Place each private key in your own app's secure secrets form. AppLab records setup status, not the key. Never put a private key in browser code.
Services and keys - 3Check legal and payments
Use working privacy, terms and support links. If charging, test successful and failed payments, access after payment and refunds. Clearly distinguish test transactions from live ones. Verify current fees with each provider.
Publish and verify
- 1Publish in your builder
Use your builder's publishing controls. Connect your domain following its instructions and wait until HTTPS works. AppLab's own domain is not your customer app's hosting.
- 2Check the public address
Open the deployed app in a fresh browser, then sign in and repeat the important customer flow. Check links, emails and return addresses use your live domain, not a preview address.
- 3Keep reporting honest
Confirm your app's reporting connection and manual arrive in Build monitor. If a status is stale or a check fails, investigate it instead of treating it as fresh.
Check the app status - 4Release carefully
Keep a backup and a way to roll back. Preserve existing accounts and data during updates. Start with a few real users before promoting widely.
