Apple Rejected My App: Avoid These 5 Mistakes

[@JayeshLathiya77]

(1) 1:28 Allow user to request to delete own uploaded data. (2) 3:12 Allow users to report offensive content on the App. (3) 3:38 Have a system to monitor reported content. (4) 4:14 Allow user to bloc other users. (5) 5:25 Should have Terms of service.

Those are the 5 that got me 😬. They are also listed in the description

@@1ManStartupinstead of putting it in the description, doesn’t KZbin have a native way of putting sections on the video?

[@1ManStartup]

@@3litepker Not that I've seen yet but maybe it's a new feature, I believe putting it in the description will make the sections.

How many versions did you submit before getting approved?

[@mohammedasif7306]

hey i was wondering where did you learn to code apps

[@1ManStartup]

Mostly from online, for me I always have an app idea and then figure out how to build it feature by feature.

[@robinsola1115]

great stuff, definitely brought up things I didn't think about, so thanks!

[@yantech.4249]

Amazing advise, Thank you

[@1ManStartup]

Glad it was helpful!

How did you go about the blocking feature? I’m using Adalo and I’m scared of getting rejected due to not having a blocking feature.

[@1ManStartup]

The app was already setup with friending statuses (requests, accepted, denied) so I added an additional status 'blocked' - then the block button will change the friend status, and I also updated all the queries to filter out blocked users for the current user. There are a few ways this can be improved but the setup I have works for my current usecase

How did you go about dealing with reported content?

[@1ManStartup]

I created a content report model which can associate to a recording/post. Then in the app there is a simple button where a user can click "report content" which will create that new entry & notify me. As of now, since the app is small, I will just review myself and remove content as needed. Additionally, I have a bool on the recording/ post model (called blocked) where if true the content won't show to anyone except the owner.

Am working on an app and the registration is from a web link, i don't think all this laws will apply this my clients app and besides is just to manage account and do transfer of funds. What do you guys think?

It's hard to say without knowing the full scope but you can read more here developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#data-collection-and-storage

[@ivank.2040]

Hi! Did you show how you block and remove reported content to Apple reviewers?

[@1ManStartup]

No, that wasn't necessary for me. As long as the ability to report it is in the app they didn't question the logistics of how it actually happens.

[@ivank.2040]

@@1ManStartup Thanks. That is cool. I just preparing my app with user-generated content for reviewing. Your video is extremely helpful.

[@1ManStartup]

@@ivank.2040 Glad to hear, hopefully you get approved on the first time!

[@ivank.2040]

​@@1ManStartup One more thantk, man! Your video advice works! After implementation of all these steps I got approved!

5:22 number one thing devs tell you is Unique ID which is what most games to recognize users

I'm not sure what you mean?
