Here's how to not get rejected when publishing your app to the app store. If your app collects any user data like email, name, location, Apple requires you to have a privacy policy URL. No privacy policy will get you rejected instantly. The generate one for free, you can use terminally or Lubenda and it should only take you five minutes. Number two is testing. Apple reviewers will test your app on a real device. Before submitting, you need to publish your app to test, fight and download it on a real iPhone. Make sure to test it with no Wi-Fi connection so you know it works offline. Number three is sign in with Apple. If you offer any third party login like Google or Facebook, Apple requires you to also offer sign in with Apple. If you use clerks, super base or fire base, enable the sign in with Apple provider. Number four is in app purchases. If your app has any kind of subscriptions or premium features and you're sending users to an external website like Stripe to Pay, you will get rejected. Unfortunately, Apple forces you to either you store kit or payment provider like Superwall or Revenue Cat so they can take a 30% cut. However, if your app generates less than a million dollars a year, you can qualify for the small business program and pay only 15% instead of 30.
