Questions about publishing
Websites online, domains, and phone apps in the stores.
Websites
How do I publish my website?
Click Publish at the top right of the editor, then Publish in the window. The website is online at a frascati address at once. See Build your first website.
I changed my website. Why does the live website look the same?
Changes go live when you update: open the Publish window again and click Update.
How do I take my website offline?
In the Publish window, click Unpublish. You can publish it again at any time.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, with Pro and Business. You set a few DNS records at your domain provider, and frascati does the rest, including HTTPS. See Connect your own domain.
Why does my domain still show my old website?
Routers, computers and internet providers remember DNS answers for a while. Check on your phone over mobile data, or wait a few hours. The status in the Publish window is checked from frascati's servers. See Why you may still see the old website.
Will Google find my website?
The SEO view in the editor shows how search engines see your website and what to fix. On your own domain, every page has its own address and your website has its own sitemap. See SEO for your website.
App Store and Google Play
What do I need to publish an app in the App Store?
A membership in the Apple Developer Program, 99 USD a year, a paid Pro or Business plan, and about an hour. See Publish your app in the App Store.
Why does the app need my own Apple account?
Apple takes apps from app builders only when the owner submits them in their own developer account (App Review Guideline 4.2.6). frascati does the building, signing and uploading for you in that account.
Do I need a Mac?
No. frascati builds and uploads the app. You need an iPhone to test it with TestFlight, and a way to take screenshots in the sizes Apple asks for.
How long does Apple's review take?
Most apps are reviewed within two days. Apple emails you the result, and the Publish window shows it too.
Apple rejected my app. What now?
Open Publish, click Send in Apple's message and paste Apple's text. The AI fixes the app and tells you what to change in App Store Connect and what to answer. Then build again and submit. See If Apple rejects the app.
How do I publish an update?
Raise the version in the Publish window, build the app and submit it the same way. frascati asks what is new in it.
Can I publish on Google Play?
Yes, yourself: Download app project has a guide. Google charges 25 USD once for a Google Play Console account, and new personal accounts first test the app with at least 12 testers for 14 days.
Can I sell things in my app?
Goods and services used outside the app, like a coffee or a class, through your own Stripe account. See Payments with Stripe.
