Avoiding common issues

We’ve highlighted some of the most common issues to help you better prepare before submitting for review. On average, over 40% of unresolved issues are related to , which covers crashes, placeholder content, incomplete information, and more.

Watch “Tips for preventing common review issues”

Crashes and bugs

Submit items for review only when they’re complete and ready to be published. Make sure to thoroughly test on devices running the latest software and fix all bugs before submitting. .

Broken links

All links in your app must be functional. A link to user support with up-to-date contact information and a link to your privacy policy is required for all apps. View and .

Placeholder content

Finalize all images and text before submitting for review. Items that are still in progress and contain placeholder content are not ready to be distributed and cannot be approved. .

Incomplete information

Enter all of the details needed for review in the App Review Information section of App Store Connect. If some features require signing in, provide a valid demo account username and password. If there are special configurations to set, include the specifics. If features require an environment that is hard to replicate or require specific hardware, be prepared to provide a demo video or the hardware. Also, please make sure your contact information is complete and up to date. .

Specific documentation is required for certain scenarios and types of apps. Here are a few examples:

• If the app is for kids and contains third-party ads, provide a link to the ad services’ publicly documented practices and policies for Kids category apps, including human review of ad creatives for age appropriateness. .
• If the app works with medical hardware, provide a copy of regulatory clearance for the locations where the app is available. .
• If the app features third-party trademarks or copyrighted content or lets users stream or download third-party content, provide the authorization to do so. Examples include video streaming and marketing that uses imagery of celebrities, sports, movies, or music. View and .
• If the app facilitates services requiring licensing, such as real money gaming and gambling, lotteries, raffles, and VPN licensing, provide the authorization to do so. Note that licensing requirements may vary depending on region. .

Privacy policy issues

Make sure your privacy policy adheres to and:

• Identifies the data the app collects, how it collects that data, and all uses of that data.
• Confirms that any third party with whom the app shares user data provides the same or equal protection of user data as stated in the app’s privacy policy.
• Explains your data retention and deletion policies and describes how a user can revoke consent and/or request deletion of their data.

Unclear data access requests

When requesting permission to access user or usage data, you should clearly and completely describe how your app will use the data. Including an example can help users understand why your app is requesting access to their personal information. .

If your app’s code references one or more APIs that access sensitive user data, the app’s Info.plist file should contain a $!{infoPlistKey} key with a user-facing purpose string explaining clearly and completely why your app needs the data. All apps submitted to the App Store that access user data are required to include a purpose string.

Inaccurate screenshots

Screenshots should accurately communicate value and functionality. Use text and overlay images to highlight the user experience, not obscure it. Make sure your UI and product images match the corresponding device type in App Store Connect. .

Substandard user interface

Apple places a high value on clean, refined, and user-friendly interfaces. Make sure your UI meets these requirements by planning your design carefully and following our design guides and UI Design Dos and Don’ts.

Web clippings, content aggregators, or a collection of links

Your app should be engaging and useful, and make the most of the features unique to iOS. Websites served in an iOS app, web content that is not formatted for iOS, and limited web interactions do not make a quality app. .

Repeated submission of similar apps

Submitting several apps that are essentially the same ties up the App Store Review process and risks your apps not passing review. Improve your review experience — and the experience of your future users — by thoughtfully combining your apps into one. .

Misleading users

Your app must perform as advertised and should not give users the impression the app is something it is not. If your app appears to promise certain features and functionalities, it needs to deliver. .

Not enough lasting value

If your app doesn’t offer much functionality or content, or only applies to a small niche market, it may not be approved. Before creating your app, take a look at the apps in your category on the App Store and consider how you can provide an even better user experience. .

Submitted by incorrect entity

Certain types of apps must be submitted by the legal entity that provides the services rather than an individual developer. These apps include, but are not limited to, those that require sensitive user information or provide services in highly regulated fields, such as banking and financial services, cryptocurrency, healthcare, gambling, and air travel. If you need to provide partnership documentation or authorization, attach the files in the Attachment section in App Store Connect and provide any descriptions or links in the Review Notes field.

Expedited reviews

You can request the review of your app to be expedited if you face extenuating circumstances, such as fixing a critical bug in your app or releasing your app to coincide with an event you’re directly associated with. Expedited reviews are granted on a limited basis and we cannot guarantee that every request will be expedited.

Critical bug fix. When submitting an expedited review to fix a critical bug, include the steps to reproduce the bug on the current version of your app on the App Store.

Event-related app. For apps associated with an event, we recommend you plan and schedule the release of your app in App Store Connect. However, if your app is still in review and the launch of your event is quickly approaching, you can request to have your app review expedited. Make sure your request includes the event, date of the event, and your app’s association with the event.

Request an expedited review
