Why You Should Know Rejection Reasons Before You Submit
App store review combines automated and manual checks, so even similar apps can get rejected for slightly different reasons. Still, real-world rejections tend to follow a pattern: visible crashes or bugs, a missing privacy policy link, screenshots or descriptions that don't match the actual app, missing test account credentials for reviewers, in-app purchase bypass or other payment policy violations, apps that look like spammy templates, and broken links or unfinished screens.
This checklist takes those seven common rejection reasons, applies a weight to each, and shows you an estimated pass rate and risk level. It doesn't guarantee an actual outcome, but it's a quick way to catch something you might have missed right before submission. The more boxes you check, the more worth it is to fix those items first before resubmitting.
