App rejection on the App Store is very common and most of the reasons are trivial if the developer is aware. We bring you the top reasons why your app might be rejected. This is a good point of reference to take into consideration before planning out an app's functionality or before submitting an app to the App Store. There might be other reasons why your app is rejected by Apple, more specific to the app's use cases and functionality. But we can always help with that if needed.

Saving your iOS apps from REJECTION
Poor app quality Non-conformance to new rules (lack of awareness) Not enough value proposition for the end user Not enough use of iOS SDK to make it eligible for being released as native Most Apps Get REJECTED Because Of
App Quality 1
User interface MUST be acceptable No crashes - check on all OS versions and devices which your app supports - actual devices Features advertised must actually work - no discrepancies Releasing an app just to get user feedback? Don’t - beta versions, demos are not welcome Don’t mislead users - no hidden features or gathering user data without permission
App Content 2
Do not infringe trademarks or copyrights No defamatory content against people, groups, religions Don’t have objectionable or crude content If its music/video/book, don’t release as an app Using in-app purchase for unlocking any content used outside the app (physical goods) might result in rejection Using any mechanism other than in-app purchase to unlock content used in apps (digital goods) will result in rejection Users must not be charged to use in-built features like camera, accelerometer or for receiving notifications
User Interface 3
•UI must comply with Apple Human Interface Guidelines •App must not look similar to Apple apps •Apps must not simulate dashboards/multi-widget experiences
User Data 4
•Do not get user details (email etc) unless absolutely needed for app’s functioning •User MUST be given an option to skip registration if app’s core features do not require it •User privacy is of utmost importance - don’t share anything without their permission
Common Mistakes *
Your app should not store user-generated content (which can be easily recreated) to iCloud Make sure your app is tested with the latest beta release (if any) Apps targeting children MUST ask for a simple verification when taking them outside the app (to ensure the parent initiated it) Apps must conform to local laws when releasing apps Apps collecting donations for recognized charities MUST be free Push notifications must not be used for advertising/promotions
