App Store Review

We review all apps submitted to the App Store in an effort to determine whether they are reliable, perform as expected, and are free of offensive material

Review process is manual and can take up to several days

App Store Guidelines

• Please don’t treat App Review as a software testing service
• Turn on your back-end service
• Make sure to replace all placeholders
• Apps should be self-contained in their bundles
• Apps should use APIs and frameworks for their intended purposes

App Store Content Guidelines

We will reject apps for any content or behavior that we believe is over the line.

App Store Content Guidelines 2

Apps should not include content that is offensive, insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust, or in exceptionally poor taste

App Store Content Guidelines 3

Apps should not urge customers to use their devices in a way that contradicts safety documentation for Apple hardware, risking damage to the device or physical harm to people

App Store Content Guidelines 4

Apps with services that end up being used primarily for pornographic content, objectification of real people, making physical threats, or bullying may be removed without notice

App Store Content Guidelines 5

“Enemies” within the context of a game cannot solely target a specific race, culture, real government, corporation, or any other real entity

Dealing with Rejection

You can correspond with Apple through the Resolution Center until you resubmit the build to App Review

Multiple failed attempts may lead to removal from the Developer Program if seen as spam
