Account deletion and privacy
Apps with account creation must offer in-app account deletion. This is a frequent, easily avoided rejection.
Privacy manifests and accurate data-collection disclosures are checked. Under-declaring gets caught, and it delays the release.
Sign-in requirements
Requiring an account to access features that do not need one draws a rejection. So does offering third-party sign-in without an equivalent privacy-preserving option where required.
Guest access for browsing solves most of these cases.
Incomplete review information
Demo credentials that do not work, or a build behind a feature flag reviewers cannot reach, produce an immediate rejection.
Provide working credentials, a short walkthrough note, and access to any gated features.
Where to go from here
If you are weighing store submission for an upcoming project, the useful next step is usually a short scoping conversation rather than a longer article. Bring your constraints — budget, timeline, existing systems, and the team you already have — and the decision usually resolves itself in an hour.
We run these as a fixed-scope discovery session with a written recommendation at the end, including the cases where our advice is that you do not need us.
