How to get your iOS app approved?

To be an Apple app developer is one of the most difficult things for a developer because of the strict policies which Apple imposes for the approval of mobile apps submitted to the App Store. Apple App Store is considered as the best software marketplace as it allows the upload of only the best of best quality apps to its store.

Even though it is hard to get mobile apps to be considered for uploading at the App Store, the demand for iOS apps is very high and so all the development companies are interested in investing in the designing of mobile apps for Apple. The following are some tricks to make your app approval easy for the Apple Store:

1. Crosschecking for errors

According to research results show that a large percentage of apps are usually rejected as they consist technical glitches. Therefore, if you are developing an Apple app, you have to be very careful while building the app features and functionality. You must pay special attention to assigning the version number to the app.

Use the latest Xcode version to write the app codes. It comes with the feature “fix it” which automatically removes small issues which involve the app’s version numbers. But, technical faults are not the only problem due to which an Apple app is rejected by the store. A thorough testing is necessary to identify other issues.

2. Design has to be simple

Before Apple App store accepts your app, you must submit a simple version of the app. You have to mention the functioning and the features in the version. Do not included complicated app qualities in the first draft of your app. Once your initial approval is given, introduce updates in future. However, you have to be careful as simple designs can also be rejected if they have very basic qualities.

3. Try not to get deviated from traditional rules

Sometimes experimentation is not good. This is because Apple has a set list of stringent instructions to follow for the approval of iOS apps submitted to the App Store.

Your app will be rejected if use employ any APIs and misspelled technical jargons. Though they do not directly affect the working of an iOS app, it is damaging enough for the authorities at App Store to refuse the upload of your software.

4. Creativity

Creativity is a plus, though not a common rule which is necessary to be followed for approval, it is quite important. With more than 3 M iOS apps in the App Store, it will be difficult for a developer to introduce an app which might not stand out among the rest if the app is not unique. So it is recommended that the apps developer uses a niche which is not yet used completely and present his app in such a way that it is different from those which already exist in the chosen niche previously.

Though it is hard to introduce extraordinary features every time you submit an app, the usability and the features which must engage the user are very important if you want the App Store to approve your App easily.
