Who is not welcome in App Store?


2015-02-26 06:11:34 2018-07-11 14:12:01 The struggle between the client's requirements and the rules for hosting mobile applications on the platform itself is a pain in the neck for many programmers. Indeed, App Store poses a lot of limitations and has numerous nuances. Here is a list of peculiarities which often provoke heated discussion between the client and the contractor and which are often the reason why iOS application publication is denied. Specifics of iOS-applications development App Store manuals contain conditions that are obvious for developers and inexplicable for clients. Here are some of the most common restrictions.

Eyes on the updates Instructions are regularly updated and supplemented by new conditions, and old rules are changed. At the end of 2014, just before the release of iOS 8, new sections were added to the manual. Separate paragraphs are devoted to the HomeKit, HealthKit and TestFlight functions. Software products working with them are prohibited from gathering personal data for mailing advertising information. Collecting, processing and using personal information to commercial ends is inadmissible. These restrictions can be lifted only with the agreement of particular users. There are also new requirements on metadata.

In cases of exigency the moderation period can be shortened by using the procedure of requesting a more rapid verification – Expedited Review. The service is not restricted; it can be used in the run-up to an important event, presentation or launch of a company. It is not always possible to force moderation – it requires a weighty argument.

According to statistics, the most common reason for turn-down of developed iOS applications is their uselessness. While striving to monetise an idea one shouldn't forget about the benefits for the users. The uniqueness of the program and usefulness for iPhone owners should be obvious to everyone. 14% of all denials are due to non-informative product descriptions. The other 12% include applications with stubs and obvious errors. And 5% of projects do not get into the App Store because the description doesn't match the content of the application itself.
