After the upload, the work moves to the App Store Connect 10 website, the same for every framework (App Store Submission covers the Xcode 10 route). From Apple's documentation, September 2026, not run here:
Export compliance. Every build asks about non-exempt encryption. BookNest uses only HTTPS, so "ios": { "config": { "usesNonExemptEncryption": false } } in app.json answers it in Info.plist once.
Internal testing. Up to 100 members of your team install the build from the TestFlight 10 app as soon as it has processed.
External testing. Up to 10,000 testers by email or public link, after the first build in a group passes Beta App Review, which needs a beta description and review contact. Each build stays testable for 90 days.
The App Store 10 version. Screenshots (Store Listings and Screenshots), description, keywords, support and privacy policy URLs, App Privacy answers (Privacy Manifests) and age rating, then Add for Review.
Release. After approval, at once or on a date; later updates can use a phased release over seven days.
Checkout needs a sign-in (Authentication), so put a demo account in the review notes, or App Review rejects the app at the sign-in screen.
