App registration has a lot of meaning, including the Apple App Store account registration, app game registration, etc., but in this article is not to say, but the app name registration. If you want to add another attribute, it is Apple AppStore app name registration. Why register for Apple app name? How do I register for the app name?

As we all know, Apple AppStore has provided more than 1 million applications for users in 155 countries or regions worldwide, more than 500,000 of which are developed for the ipad, and Apple requires software names to be different. Therefore, like trademarks, domain names, simple and well-written software names are gradually becoming scarce resources. You know, a simple and memorable name not only affects the user's memory, but also has a certain connection to the search rankings in the Apple market. Because of the lack of a dispute resolution mechanism like the domain name regulator, it is difficult to recover software names through negotiation and purchase. As a result, app registration has emerged.

In fact, as early as in the second half of 2010, there are developers found that as long as the iOS Development Program members, fill in including the software name, description and other necessary information, do not need to really submit the software can occupy the name, the other software will not be used thereafter. So, some developers began to play the attention of the software name, the first to register, hoarding a large number of commonly used word software names.
But as time went by, Apple began to crack down on the software after it discovered it, that the software was not submitted within 120 days of registering the software name, and that Apple would delete the registration record of the software name, "Allow other developers to use". In other words, previously in the AppStore just register to seize the name of the practice has not been feasible, but also must have a matching app software to upload the apple market and through the audit.

A more vivid explanation is that the app registers the following three steps:
1. ITunes Connect to create app-related meta data;
2. ITunes Connect submits binary and waits for review;
3. ITunes Connect review passed.
