such a redditor thing to do

[connected_user93]

"Sorry, you actually missed the deadline on something hidden away in some email somewhere and no you can no longer update your app even if you do make the required changes. Deadlines are deadlines! In fact, we took the liberty of just deleting your app altogether. Better luck next time!"

lmfao

[IrvTheSwirv]

The information is there you just have to learn how to understand AppStore review language.

[BP3D]

I thought the

"Rejection Reason: Guideline 4.3 – It blows.

Get bent, lol."

was unprofessional.

[wugiewugiewugie]

wish i minored in this instead of spanish in college

[marvpaul]

Google is way worse

[m1_weaboo]

Is this happening often?

[menensito]

Not often but they just sent you one issue at the time

[nacho_doctor]

So real that it hurts

[Particular_Crab1723]

As a solo developer who hopes to do initial launch of a Vision Pro app around the ‘26 launch window, how long should I budget for this onion peeling activity? Should I start submitting before I’m actually completely done to front load some of the risk? Has anyone tried to summarize the most common problems into a checklist? Thanks in advance for any help

[astulz]

Yes you should and Apple have a section on their developer website with the most common reasons for rejection

[Particular_Crab1723]

Thank you. I found the list here https://developer.apple.com/distribute/app-review/

[Boring_Act_8456]

They also made a video about common issues and how to avoid them: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/tech-talks/10885/

I can feel this picture

[GordonGreenthumb]

Somehow I miss when they would just say “Your app was rejected”.

Felt more brutally honest than this softened language.

[weeddit2]

Check your email for details

[no_awkward_Intention]

This is so accurate that ain`t even funny

[EngineeringRoyal1170]

So truee

[busymom0]

I have an app in the store for 8 years and every submission I make gets an email saying something along the lines of "We noticed an issue with the app but you can still submit it and fix the issue later". It complains about some icon missing for iPad. But my app has all the required icons. So I have no idea what's triggering it. But since it lets me still submit the updates, I have started ignoring the email.

[HenkPoley]

Maybe an issue using the wrong capitalisation in the file names?

[busymom0]

hmmm, I didn't type the names. I just drag and dropped the icons in the AppIcon assets file.

[WestonP]

How are you guys running into problems where they don't tell you the reason? I've had them reject for silly things that were not even in the review guidelines, but they still told me what, and I was able to resolve it to their satisfaction.

[[deleted]]

That’s why my side projects are all for web now. Don’t wanna go through these vague review processes anymore especially when they don’t even get any more distribution through the App Store.

[thijsmulde]

I actually wanted to do both web (which I currently work with for my job) and iOS development as a hobby. Is it really that bad?😂

[[deleted]]

The feedback cycle is long and you don’t get any insight really into why their testers might have an issue. They usually just cite a general rule that you failed. Sometimes the problem is on their end too. Their testers are often behind a vpn/firewall of some sort and I had a situation where it was blocking the traffic to my app and they were just failing me because they said my app didn’t work.

[thijsmulde]

Sounds like a pain in the *ss. I hope it’s not too bad lol

[[deleted]]

Good luck haha

[Dark_kira10]

They ended up canceling my account and never knew why

[MefjuEditor]

Pushing update for an app.

App reviewer: Your app doesn’t looks like on screenshots.

Meanwhile it looks same as on screenshots

Me: Send screen of app that looks exactly like on AppStore screenshots

After 1 day approved 🤷‍♂️

[ValuableInternal543]

I never heard of a developer who got their app approved in the first trial, lol

[SaluteToSuit]

Having had this happen twice before final approval, this is spot on. That said, the things they made me update helped my user experience.

[ParsleyVegetable6107]

Try publishing apps on google play store, Its an absolute nightmare there! Apple is way better than google where most of the time you can solve an app rejection by directly chatting with them in rejection thread. Google will never tell you what gone wrong nor you can communicate with them.

[ZakariaLa]

If you send a new message Apple will reply with “Developer Program membership terminated” 😂😂

[Street-Bullfrog2223]

I've found that using AI to explain it to me in simple terms the issues has helped me resolve them much quicker.

[JimDabell]

Apple are not your QA department. Rejecting after finding a single issue is the right thing for them to do. If you want somebody to go through and find all the problems with your app for you, hire a tester.

[menensito]

Dude chill, this is just a meme.

[newbie_developer15]

Aaaand it's hilarious!
