Most Apps Get REJECTED Because Of

How to ensure your iOS apps are NOT rejected from New Generation Applications
Saving your apps from rejection from newgenapps

• Poor app quality
• Non-conformance to new regulations (lack of awareness)
• Not enough value proposition for the end user
• Not enough use of iOS SDK to make it eligible for being released as native

App Quality

• User interface MUST be acceptable
• No crashes — check on all OS versions and devices which your app supports
• Features advertised must actually work — no discrepancies
• Releasing an app just to get user feedback? Don’t — beta versions, demos are not welcome
• Don’t mislead users — no hidden features or gathering user data without permission

App Content

• Do not infringe trademarks or copyrights
• No defamatory content against people, groups, religions
• Don’t have objectionable or crude content
• If its music/video/book, don’t release as an app
• Using in-app purchase for unlocking any content used outside the app will result in rejection
• Using any mechanism other than in-app purchase to unlock content used in apps will result in rejection
• Users must not be charged to use in-built features like camera, accelerometer or for receiving notifications

User Interface

• UI must comply with Apple Human Interface Guidelines
• App must not look similar to Apple apps
• Apps must not simulate dashboards/multi-widget experiences

User Data

• Do not get user details (email etc) unless absolutely needed for app’s functioning
• User MUST be given an option to skip registration if app’s core features do not require it
• User privacy is of utmost importance — don’t share anything without their permission

Common Mistakes

• Your app should not store user-generated content (which can be easily recreated) to iCloud
• Starting 1st May, 2013, apps must support iPhone 5 resolution (no letter-boxing)
• Apps targeting children MUST ask for a simple verification when taking them outside the app (to ensure the parent initiated it)
• Apps must conform to local laws when releasing apps
• Apps collecting donations for recognized charities MUST be free
• Push notifications must not be used for advertising/promotions
