When people install an app from the App Store, they want to feel confident that it’s safe to do so-that the app doesn’t contain upsetting or offensive content, won’t damage their device, and isn’t likely to cause physical harm from its use.
Update your contact information in case App Review needs to reach you.Ensure that all app information and metadata is complete and accurate.If your app no longer functions as intended or you’re no longer actively supporting it, it will be removed from the App Store. This doesn’t replace the guidelines or guarantee approval, but making sure you can check every item on the list is a good start. To help your app approval go as smoothly as possible, review the common missteps listed below that can slow down the review process or trigger a rejection. We’re really trying our best to create the best platform in the world for you to express your talents and make a living, too.
We love this stuff too, and honor what you do. This is a living document new apps presenting new questions may result in new rules at any time. We hope these guidelines help you sail through the App Review process, and that approvals and rejections remain consistent across the board. Review our documentation on to learn more about entitlements. For example, we offer entitlements for CarPlay Audio, HyperVisor, and Privileged File Operations.
Consider using Xcode to install your app on a device for free or use Ad Hoc distribution available to Apple Developer Program members. If you build an app that you just want to show to family and friends, the App Store isn’t the best way to do that.
For everything else there is always the open Internet. We do this by offering a highly curated App Store where every app is reviewed by experts and an editorial team helps users discover new apps every day. The guiding principle of the App Store is simple-we want to provide a safe experience for users to get apps and a great opportunity for all developers to be successful.
