White-Label App Delivery Checklist (Delivery)

White-Label App Delivery Checklist (Delivery)

1. 01

   Confirm the client's app store accounts and signing credentials are in hand

   Request the Apple Developer and Google Play Console access, plus any certificates or provisioning profiles, before the build starts to avoid publishing delays.

2. 02

   Map the client's core feature list to the builder's native capabilities

   Compare required features like push notifications, payments, or loyalty programs against what the platform supports out of the box. For example, BuildFire's plugin marketplace covers many common needs, while GoodBarber offers over 190 extensions.

3. 03

   Set up the white-label branding in the builder's reseller or custom domain settings

   Upload the agency's logo, colors, and app name so the client sees your brand, not the platform's. Platforms like Shoutem and AppInstitute provide full white-label options for this purpose.

4. 04

   Build the app screens using the drag-and-drop editor, starting from a template

   Use a template that matches the client's industry to speed up the initial layout. Adalo's AI assistant can generate components from prompts, while Median converts an existing website into a native app shell.

5. 05

   Configure the backend data model and any integrations before testing

   Set up the database tables, user authentication, and third-party integrations (like CRM or payment gateways) early. This avoids rework later and ensures the app functions end-to-end.

6. 06

   Run a device-level QA pass on both iOS and Android

   Test on physical devices or simulators to catch layout issues, push notification failures, and performance problems. Include the client in a review round to confirm the app meets their expectations.

7. 07

   Submit the app to the App Store and Google Play under the client's developer account

   Prepare the required screenshots, descriptions, and privacy policies. Use the builder's publishing tools to generate the store listings, then coordinate with the client for final submission.

8. 08

   Hand over admin access and document the maintenance workflow

   Provide the client with login credentials to the builder's admin panel and a simple guide for updating content. Clarify which changes they can make themselves and which require your agency's support.
