App Review Horror Stories and How to Overcome Them
summary
Rejects are concrete: one app is kicked for manipulating the status bar; another for a tiny, hidden link to an external account management page that gets fixed and then approved; a mature app hits a 10–15 review exchanges loop over subscription flow before a clearer response pushes approval; an NFT gallery built with widgets and AR that reads via the OpenC API using only a public wallet address must be reworked, appealed, and after two weeks finally clears TestFlight and the App Store.
