Apple App Store
Apple Inc.
Apple's mandatory, review-gated storefront for native iOS, iPadOS, and macOS apps, with Apple as Merchant of Record for paid content.
Mobile OS app stores — iOS and Android — for native apps distributed to phones and tablets.
2 marketplaces in this directory match this tag.
Mobile means the two native OS stores in this directory — Apple App Store and Google Play Store — for apps built with each platform’s own SDK (Swift/SwiftUI, Kotlin/Java) and distributed to phones and tablets. This is the largest consumer audience in the directory by device count.
Both stores run mandatory review before any release goes live (Apple’s is typically 24–48 hours, Google’s more variable, especially for new developer accounts), and both charge a one-time or annual developer-registration fee rather than a marketplace listing fee. Plan your release cadence around review turnaround, not just development time.
