Everybody what's going on.
This is Caleb with Debb slopes dot com and in this video we're going to take a look at the apple documentation
for building sticker packs.
We're going to take a look at some of the requirements and some of the AHA's that I had when reading
through it that you may not think of just immediately right.
As you think about oh sticker pack just drag some images and it's not necessarily that easy.
So we're going to take a look at it now.
Pull open Safari and if you go to developer dot apple dot com slash stickers what you can do is you
can just read through the information here.
But I want to show you a few key pieces of information obviously getting started.
You need to know about the types of images you can use now sticker packs can utilize PFG jpeg or gif
format.
They can be animated using a ping which is animated TNG or gif format.
We're going to talk about all of these when we actually build our sticker packs.
Don't worry we'll cover it all.
And if you want to read more you can read about the human interface guidelines as well as creating stickers
with motion.
And if you know if we pull open that it basically describes how you can make an animated image which
is pretty cool you can export it as an a ping using motion which is an app that is built in to your
Mac on Mac OS which is pretty sweet.
So that's loading.
We're not going to necessarily check out motion in this project but you definitely could.
Next for icons It says you'll need to create several sizes of your sticker pack icon to be used by the
App Store for a message and it says that they have photoshop and sketch templates which they do but
I have a tool that makes it even easier for you.
So we'll check that out as well.
Code developer tools.
We already have X code if you're taking this course if you don't download it now x code 9 not X code.
And then building your sticker pack.
This has some some information some tutorials but you wouldn't be here if you were there would you.
So this Tauriel is going to be even better I'm going to show you some things that Apple will not show
you that make it just easier and a little more fun to create a sticker pack then getting ready for the
App Store basically means you have to set up your name or description your icons screen shots and your
price in iTunes Connect just like submitting any other app on the App Store.
And of course it will be reviewed and approved or denied depending on you know the level of quality
or if there is any like objectionable material.
Apple might reject it.
You can also utilize test flight for people to beta test or sticker pack which is pretty neat and yagis
that's what you need to know.
The most important thing though is that you need to know that we can use PRNG jpeg or gif format and
they can be animated using AP Engy or gif.
OK we'll talk about that even more.
I just wanted to show you this page and show you that there are lots of resources and things you can
read here all about sticker packs.
So let's go ahead and let's head over to the next video where we're actually going to create our project
very very exciting stuff.
Let's head over there now.
