Common Pitfalls in App Store Submissions

Submitting an app to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store is the final hurdle in mobile engineering. Unfortunately, many developers run into repeated rejections that delay launches by weeks. Knowing store criteria prevents these setbacks.

Apple Guideline 2.1: Performance

Apple will reject any app that crashes, contains placeholders, or has broken links during their testing cycle. We configure a comprehensive pre-submission test plan, testing all user pathways on physical iOS devices to ensure stability before compilation. The app must feel complete and responsive.

Data Deletion Requirements

Both Apple and Google require that if your app allows users to create an account, it must also allow them to request account and data deletion directly from inside the app. Missing this link is the single most common cause of store rejections today. We construct secure API routes to automate account scrubbing.
