Building the app is only half of the work. Both app stores review and can reject an app, so plan for approval as part of the project.
What you need ready
Gather these before you submit.
- Developer accounts for each store, in the business name
- App name, description and screenshots
- A privacy policy that matches what the app collects
- Test logins for the reviewers
- Contact and support details
How long it takes
Reviews often take a few days, and the first submission usually takes longest. Build some slack into your launch date.
Common reasons for rejection
Apps are sent back for crashes, missing or vague privacy information, broken login for reviewers and features that do not match the description. Test thoroughly and be accurate.
