Tips to Get Your App Approved by the Apple App Store

It is not a joke to be an Apple app developer. Developers always hold the fear that App store might reject their iOS app. Apple App Store is undoubtedly  the best app markets in the smart phone industry and is the most difficult platforms for the developers to get their app developed. It is a daunting task to develop a mobile app for the Apple App store, however, it is not an impossible one. If you are planning to develop an app for Apple App Store, then follow these simple tips to have a high chance of acceptance.

1. Check for errors- Most of the apps that are submitted to the Apple App Store are rejected immediately as they have some technical glitch. The carelessness of the app developer, entry of a faulty version number etc can be one of the errors. Therefore, you have to check for errors and functionality before you submit the app to the app store. In fact start app testing right from the starting of the app development project.
2. Provide all the required details- As an app developer you have to provide all the necessary details, without omitting any one of them. You must provide details of your name, contact details, telephone number and email id, the API used with description, links to external websites with description.
3. Simplicity is important- It is best to submit a simple version of your app at first. Stick to the basics and avoid any unnecessary frills for initial submission. Initial submission takes some time and once it is approved the future updates is easy to get done. Therefore, you must keep the advanced features for later releases of your app. But, you must also take care that you do not make it too simple, just keep it moderate. You must never present a “test” or “beta” version of the app, as it has high chance of rejection.
4. Follow rules- Apple has a set of well defined rules, that must be followed by all the app developers. You have to definitely follow these rules even if they sound crazy to you. You must never employ unpublished APIs. Do not name your apps in any way violent, as it is not acceptable by Apple and it will be immediately rejected. Make your app appealing to the Apple store and the users without being offensive and damaging.
5. Be creative- The Apple App store has more than 300,000 apps in its store. This makes it hard for the developers to make their app stand out from the rest. However, you can make your app stand out by getting creative. You must select a category which is not saturated with apps and try to present your app in a different way. Provide a novel angle to your app, make it useable and engaging to the user. If you do not make your app different and extraordinary from the others, there are chances that your app will not pass the process of App Store Approval
