Abstract: This article sorts out the things that need to be paid attention to when launching iOS, so as to help friends who are engaged in iOS development and App operation avoid the trouble of being rejected for review. By following these guidelines, we can successfully get your app live in a single submission and save valuable time and effort.
introduction:
Friends who are engaged in iOS development and App operations know that the review of iOS apps is very strict, and they are often rejected for various reasons. After each rejection, we need to revise the question and resubmit for review, which consumes a lot of time and effort. In order to help you pass the review smoothly, I have compiled a review guide for iOS listings, which includes matters that need special attention. By following these guidelines, we can avoid rejection as much as possible and strive for a successful submission review.
1. The app contains the function of checking for updates
The version update of the iOS application must be carried out through the App Store, and the update prompt function cannot be included in the own application. Therefore, during the development process, it is important to avoid designing such features to avoid rejection.
2. Installation detection is not done when using a third-party login
When accessing the third-party login function, it is necessary to detect whether the user has installed a third-party client. If not installed, do not show the corresponding login button. In addition, it should be noted that Apple does not allow the normal use of applications to rely on another App, so it can consider providing a web login method.
3. The device IDFA is collected but the application has no advertising function
If the app itself does not have advertising functions, but collects the advertising identifier IDFA, the review will be rejected. It is recommended to display a Banner ad during the review and place it in a more obvious position, and close it after passing the review.
4. Contains UGC but does not provide user agreement and report function
If the app contains user-generated content (UGC) functions, the user agreement must be provided and the content reporting function must be set, otherwise the review may be rejected.
5. Not using real app screenshots when uploading
App name, description, screenshots, etc. must be related to the content and function of the app, otherwise it will be rejected. Please make sure to use real and accurate app screenshots and avoid using illustrations of your own design instead.
6. The application must use the invitation code to register and use
Apple requires that the application cannot be restricted to only some users, so it should not set restrictions that can only be registered through the invitation code.
7. The name or icon of a third-party mobile platform appears in the application
Any mention of Android, Android text, icons, system interface, etc. will result in the rejection of the review. Take special care to avoid such mentions.
8. Rewards are involved in the app, and it is not stated that it has nothing to do with Apple
If there are physical rewards in the app, Apple products cannot be used as prizes, and a statement must be made that it has nothing to do with Apple officials.
9. There is no way to restore in-app purchases
If the app supports in-app purchases, be sure to add a "Restore Purchase History" button on the interface.
10. Functions unrelated to the account cannot be used without registration
For applications such as information, if the user is not logged in, do not force the user to log in to view the content, otherwise it may be rejected.
11. The iPhone application does not display properly on the iPad
Even if the app is only for iPhone users, make sure it displays properly on the iPad. Apple's review requires iPhone applications to run on the iPad at iPhone resolution and twice the resolution of the iPhone 3GS.
12. Infringement of copyrights of third parties
Apps in the video, music, and book categories are prone to rejection for copyright infringement. Also, it's best to avoid using third-party trademarks in your apps.
Recently, I found an easy-to-use iOS listing tool - appuploder , which is easy to use after personal testing. Friends who need to submit apps to the App Store can try it.
Summarize:
By following the above guidelines in the iOS Review Guide, we can greatly increase the probability of app approval, avoid rejection and save valuable time and energy. It is important to note that the functionality within the app complies with Apple's policy requirements, provide a clear and complete user agreement, and ensure that the app's description and screenshots accurately reflect its functionality. In addition, for functions involving advertisements, rewards, third-party logins, etc., pay special attention to relevant requirements and restrictions.
