Many review problems begin before submission. The listing may promise a feature that is hard to find, the demo account may not work, or the privacy answers may not match the app.

Test the first-run path on a clean device. Check sign-up, login, purchases, permissions, offline behavior, and any feature named in screenshots. If the app needs special hardware or a server, explain the setup in review notes.

Keep copy factual. Apple review rules change, so read the current guidelines before submitting. Treat a rejection as a specific test request.

Use this in your next ASO review

Turn the advice above into one small, traceable change. A simple review keeps your listing accurate and makes it easier to learn what helped.

  1. Open the current App Store Connect entry for your app and copy the app store review rejection material you want to check.
  2. Compare it with the current product behavior, supported locales, and the source linked below.
  3. Draft one improvement, record the reason, and validate every field limit or submission rule that applies.
  4. Ask a person to approve the draft before it changes a live listing.
