Submit 4.0-based app to Apple App Store

[freedomtan]

Let's check what need to be done before submitting to App Store

• [ ] screenshots
• [ ] requirement 2

And then submit it.

[freedomtan]

ask @nathanw-mlc for the App Store account

[nathanw-mlc]

Anh already has access to the App Store accounts. Will anyone else need access?

[RSMNYS]

Hi guys! We need screenshots with such sizes:

Based on this: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/screenshot-specifications

6.5":

iPhone 14 Plus iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone 11 iPhone XS Max iPhone XR

5.5":

iPhone 8 Plus iPhone 7 Plus iPhone 6s Plus

Unfortunately we can't make the screenshots from the simulators as it has Debug label on the screen, and such screenshots are not acceptable. So we need to find these devices to prepare the screenshots for the submission.

[RSMNYS]

Actually it's possible to remove that label for the debug flutter mode.

Let me know if I should prepare all screenshots and upload to the App Store. My email is: Sergij.r@scopicsoftware.com.

@nathanw-mlc Please assign @RSMNYS a role so he can prepare the app for the App Store release. Thank you.

[nathanw-mlc]

@RSMNYS What Apple ID email address should I use to grant you access to the App Store? If you don't want to post it publicly in this thread, you can email systems@mlcommons.org.

[RSMNYS]

Sergij.r@scopicsoftware.com. Thank you

[nathanw-mlc]

Thanks, invitation sent.

@nathanw-mlc please change my role to the app manager, with the developer role I'm not able to upload the screenshots.

Thanks

[nathanw-mlc]

@RSMNYS, I've updated your role as requested.

[RSMNYS]

[nathanw-mlc]

Do we want screenshots with the blue background of the official release, since presumably that's what people will be downloading? If you need, I can provide them.

@Mostelk let's try to discuss the privacy policy statement issue in the working group policy meeting.

An example result.json file on iPhone 13.

Currently, besides benchmark numbers, what we collected in the app are:

@RSMNYS Please go ahead with these for the configuration of the store. We can go with this and then later add if needed

@peladodigital I think you've missed the original request. Let me share it again. To submit the app to the store we need to check and fill the next points:

• privacy policy statement: how user-generated data are treated (where are they stored, how they are to be used by MLCommons), etc. https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-privacy-details/
• app description: short and long description
• test accounts: pre-created accounts for Apple to test? or ask them to create accounts in the App? we have to create accounts for them before submission

@peladodigital can you help with this please?

Here is the link to the app store: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps/1629525778/appstore/privacy

[freedomtan]

@TheKanter and @peladodigital Please help provide the privacy policy statement, c.f. https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-privacy-details/.

@RSMNYS please pick one from TestFlight.

[TheKanter]

I'm working to get one generated for us. Do you have any examples I can share with our attorneys? Ideally a simple one.

@TheKanter You may use one of the templates from: https://termly.io/products/privacy-policy-generator/

[freedomtan]

maybe we need both "terms of use" / "EULA" and "privacy policy"

[TheKanter]

In on it with our lawyers.

@RSMNYS and @anhappdev can we submit the iOS app to mac app store? Or we need native macOS UI?

[anhappdev]

@RSMNYS and @anhappdev can we submit the iOS app to mac app store? Or we need native macOS UI?

Yes, we can but the app will work only on Mac computers with Apple silicon (M1, M2, ...) https://support.apple.com/en-vn/guide/app-store/fird2c7092da/mac

[TheKanter]

That’s fine to only test Apple silicon. We also should have TOU and privacy policy soon.

Let's enable macOS compatibility for TestFlight, then we can test the app on both iOS and macOS (apple silicon machines)

[TheKanter]

I have a MacBook Air we can use!

[anhappdev]

The app should be already available on TestFlight for Mac (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/testflight/id899247664)

[freedomtan]

@@RSMNYS please check if you got the term of use and privacy policy docs. If yes, let's try to make this into the app store.

@freedomtan to check if those docs are available to @RSMNYS and @anhappdev.

[freedomtan]

open source: TensorFlow: include TensorFlow's apache license models: apache license should be enough

@freedomtan to crease an issue to track this and check open source third-party libraries we used. Check other benchmark programs.

---

vendor spec (for Android):

• SNPE: binary libraries included, should be OK to re-distributed, @mohitmundhragithub will help check that
• Samsung: binaries should be fine, @Mostelk

[anhappdev]

@RSMNYS Since we have a new design for v4.0, can you please update the screenshots in the App Store Connect?

[RSMNYS]

@anhappdev are those screenshots correct? I'm using the v4.0 branch, official_build, but see a bunch of UI issues as below. Where we use black text on blue background, and other components also looks wrong and visibility is bad. Please let me know.

I am not sure why your build looks different, maybe you used a different Flutter SDK version? For iOS, can you use the version 4.0 (build 125) from TestFlight? The UI looks correct on my iPhone with the build from TestFlight.

[RSMNYS]

You're right @anhappdev. Now have everything looks good. By the way, we can use the fvm to manage the flutters versions, and lock the flutter version for the project. So everyone can use the same version of the flutter sdk. What do you think?

We have already defined the Flutter SDK version in the pubspec.yml file. And we don't change the Flutter SDK version often, so I am not sure if we need yet another tool.
