Make sure to download the placeholders.zip file which contains temporary files to use during the creation of a new app in iTunes Connect
Note: You can use Photoshop or GIMP (100% free - www.gimp.org) to create your own icons and images. You can also buy icons on Fiverr.com for $5.
Here, we're modifying the required images to make the game unique, and going through the images that are not necessary to update but is recommended.
Here we learn about how to modify sound effects and the background music.
Testing the game one last time prior to publishing it.
Going through the submision process so that an Apple technician can approve the game and deploy it in the Apple app store.

Once you've published the game, this is only the beginning, it keeps getting better.
A variety of resources to help you strive in the mobile app flipping industry.
A quick crash course on how to maximize your exposure in the app store using App Store Optimization (iTunes keyword SEO)
Showing you where to look at how your game or app performs in the app store.
Tips and Ticks on how to ride the next trend.
Being on time to ride a trend is a must in the mobile app reskinning world.
You want to be informed of the upcoming trends and deals before anyone else.
Must have icons to become a professional app publisher.
This course's main objective is to become the go-to source for anyone willing to enter the iPhone app industry.
The course starts with us in front of a regular Apple computer (or MacInCloud for PC users) and I will guide you through all the step necessary to set up your computer for development. I will also go through each steps to become a licensed iOS developer.
We will then install the game from the source code(included with this course), run the game on the simulator, then modify the graphics and sounds to customize the 'match 3' game into one of your own.
Then we will setup three advertising channels to ensure money coming in. Then we will publish the game to the Apple app store.
This course is not about theories. Once you complete this course, you have a real product of your own in the app store, bringing in profit. You can't pass this opportunity.
There has been plenty of reskins of these apps by myself and by many students.
Also feel free to ask me anything that goes through your mind, I love to help!
Cheers!

*The sourcecode is not Candy Crush's source code, it does have the same match-3 game mechanics.
