iOS app progress report: Publishing (Patreon)

I am currently waiting for the new Mastodon legal entity to be entered into the German company register so I can get a D-U-N-S number and apply for an Apple developer account, which would allow us to get a Testflight of the app going. Until then, the UX design part of the project is on hold, with all screens from the roadmap completed but with the expectation that once a real build will be testable there might be more adjustments.

That Mastodon legal entity part warrants its own announcement, but the summary of it is that I'm founding/have founded Mastodon gGmbH (gGmbH roughly translates to non-profit limited liability company). That process took 8 months since the day I decided to proceed with it. Actually unbelievable how the time flew. Anyway, I've got to write a separate post about all that. Now onto the publishing part of the app.

It's all pretty self-explanatory. I like how it looks. Especially like the progress bar and the success message when it's done, I think it's a nice detail.

Here is where the implementation is at:
