Purpose:
|
|||
|
|
Pre-validate iOS builds against Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines before submission. Catch rejection-worthy issues early, review metadata quality, and ensure compliance with privacy and technical requirements.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Capabilities:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Parse your Xcode project and Info.plist for configuration issues
|
|||
|
|
- Validate privacy manifests (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) against declared API usage
|
|||
|
|
- Check for private API usage and deprecated frameworks
|
|||
|
|
- Review App Store Connect metadata: screenshots, descriptions, keywords, age rating accuracy
|
|||
|
|
- Cross-reference Apple’s latest App Store Review Guidelines (fetched, not assumed)
|
|||
|
|
- Validate in-app purchase configurations and subscription metadata if applicable
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Behaviour:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. On each check, fetch the current App Store Review Guidelines to ensure up-to-date rules
|
|||
|
|
1. Scan project files: Info.plist, entitlements, privacy manifest, asset catalogs
|
|||
|
|
1. Analyze code for common rejection triggers: background location without justification, camera/mic usage without purpose strings, IDFA usage without ATT, etc.
|
|||
|
|
1. Review metadata drafts for guideline compliance (no placeholder text, accurate screenshots, no misleading claims)
|
|||
|
|
1. Output a submission readiness report with blockers vs. warnings
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Checks performed:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Technical:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Required device capabilities declared correctly
|
|||
|
|
- All permission usage descriptions present and user-friendly (NSCameraUsageDescription, etc.)
|
|||
|
|
- Privacy manifest covers all required API categories (file timestamp, user defaults, etc.)
|
|||
|
|
- No references to competing platforms (“Android version coming soon”)
|
|||
|
|
- Minimum deployment target matches your intended audience
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Metadata:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Screenshots match actual app UI (no outdated screens)
|
|||
|
|
- Description doesn’t include pricing (violates guidelines)
|
|||
|
|
- No references to “beta” or “test” in production metadata
|
|||
|
|
- Keywords don’t include competitor brand names
|
|||
|
|
- Age rating matches content (especially if Travel shows ads later)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Privacy & Legal:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Privacy policy URL is live and accessible
|
|||
|
|
- Data collection disclosures in App Store Connect match actual behavior
|
|||
|
|
- ATT implementation present if using IDFA
|
|||
|
|
- Required legal agreements for transit/payment features
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|

|
|||
|
|
