When you decide to submit your app you should be aware about at least basic requirements of Apple Review Process if you want to avoid the rejection of your app. The submitting or rejection of your app will have the direct impact on your app’s future prospects.

No Bugs and Crashes

Before you send your app for submitting you should be 100 percent sure that all bugs and crashes that were detected during testing have been fixed.

Be Creative

One of Apple’s requirements is interesting content. It might sound obvious that an app should have attractive content, but many app publishers pay little attention to this aspect. Interesting content increases chances that your app will be downloaded and installed by users. Apple is very strict in this regard and they say that an app should energize users, but not make them fall asleep. So, don’t create an ordinary app, make it interesting and attractive to users. Be creative and you can easily pass this step successfully.

Provide Full Information About Your App

You should avoid incomplete information when you submit your app. Provide only real information that will not cause confusion or misunderstanding for reviewers. If they will not understand something about your app or information that you provide will not seem full, you will receive a rejection. So, make sure you have prepared all necessary information about your app before you submit it.

Take Care About Your App Design

If you want to pass submitting, you need to provide simple, but at the same time creative design for your app. Apple pays much attention to apps design, they are very cautious about how the app’s presents itself to users. So, you need to satisfy their expectations and provide layout and design which is logical, simple and attractive.

Give Credits

If you have created something, it is your right to use it without any crediting. Nevertheless, if you use something that was invented by some third parties, always give credit to them. It is also better to contact them and discuss this issue to avoid infringements of owner rights. If you meet this requirement, you will not be rejected by Apple.

Rank Your Content Appropriately

It is your responsibility as a developer to warn users if your content includes some sensitive materials. Be sure you include this piece of information before you submit your app for review. In other case, it can be rejected since you have hidden some important details about your app.

Do not Imitate Apple’s Design

So, if your app design is somehow similar to Apple’s products you are at risk to be rejected. Differentiate your app design and your app will not be rejected.

Satisfy Users’ Needs
