#appreview — Public Fediverse posts

Eight days for the Bulletin 2.1 Mac app to get through app review (clean review). Just in time for me to submit 2.1.2 and too slow for 2.1.1 to even be submitted. I guess wait another eight days, then repeat? 🤷‍♂️ #AppReview #Apple #MacOS #IndieDev #iOSDev #WWDC26

🎨📱 Oh, the tragedy! It appears our brave hero, Manton Reece, valiantly battles the Apple overlords in his epic quest to unleash #Inkwell upon the world. Despite a heroic journey filled with rejections and phone calls, his app languishes in review purgatory—clearly a saga for the ages! 🤦‍♂️📜

Do people setup a Mac VM when testing the macOS apps #swift #appreview

Ok #appreview I give up. I will no longer make it easy for my users to grant camera and photo access on the first launch during onboarding. You win.

Well, last night #apple #appreview looked at the resubmission of the #visionos version of Vinyl Trackr. They rejected again, but I think I now know what the don’t like. Hope to resubmit this weekend

So far, two days and no responses on my visionOS or macOS versions of my app, from #appreview I am guessing they are being flooded with AI created apps?

It’s coming soon! Just need to get out of #apple #appreview status!

What the heck is going on with #apple #AppReview ? My app has been in review for days, it usually would take a few hours.

Ok, this has never happened. I have a very old beta build of my app stuck in app review. It has been breaking my XcodeCloud release train. I can't figure out how to retract it so that I can sub my builds for it's upcoming go live. #apple #AppReview

I tried UpScrolled to escape TikTok's new terms, but I just found a lot of Keanu Reeves instead
This isn't the TikTok alternative I was hoping for.

I filed a radar, FB21795992, for the Try It Free button title. It really should just say Subscribe. #AppReview #AppleDevelopment #iosDevelopment

"Thank you for providing this information.

We will continue the review, and we will notify you if there are any further issues."

Then they approved it.

Honestly, they really did have a point. I hope they fix StoreKit. #iosDevelopment #AppReview

Here's a post about my App Store rejection (for bad wording generated by Apple) so far:

https://tewha.net/2026/01/free-trials/

I compared my app to Apple Creator Studio, and guess which is more "sketch?" #AppStoreDevelopment #AppReview #iosDevelopment

It looks like Apple has already "solved" this by removing my free trial on their end.

That's something I mentioned *I'd* be willing to do to solve this, so it's not as egregious as it likely sounds. Though I really don't like that *they* did it. Fuck's sake, Apple. #AppStoreDevelopment #AppReview

I really want to fight that insane rejection, but I like .subscriptionStoreControlStyle(.buttons) a lot more and I think it would pass. #AppStoreDevelopment #AppReview

Gotta love #AppReview. I just got two emails in succession - “app approved for release in the store”, followed 3 hours later by “app rejected for TestFlight testing”.

#iosdev

Apple’s app review says they can’t access my .mov file shared on Dropbox and sends me this screenshot.

What is that? Is it a Dropbox error page or some local playback error? Or is Dropbox blocked in their network?

What file sharing service and video format are you using with app review?

#Apple’s new #AppReview #Guidelines require #apps to disclose and obtain user permission before sharing #personaldata with #thirdparty #AI, including Apple’s own AI-upgraded #Siri. This change aims to protect user data #privacy and aligns with regulations like #GDPR. The update also support Apple’s new #MiniApps and other changes. https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/13/apples-new-app-review-guidelines-clamp-down-on-apps-sharing-personal-data-with-third-party-ai/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I just tried Openvibe, a proprietary app that aggregates multiple platforms into one "social web" feed. Crucially, it curates the "for you" content based on my chosen interests (AIs, tech) rather than surveillance, bringing back a genuine, non-coercive form of social media nostalgia.

My app was approved. I set it to manual release and I’m out right now, though.

I’m pleased the approach to monetization was approved. It seems very humane to me but isn’t standard. #AppReview #iOSDevelopment

I think this last rejection from #AppReview is actually my fault for missing a requirement, it's just a bullshit requirement. #iosDevelopment

It has now taken app review a week to figure out I have terms of service defined in my app. I’m hoping any day now they will figure out I picked the default value for it in the metadata, too, a check that really should be automated to the point that they can’t fail it. #AppReview #iOSDevelopment

It is difficult to express how disappointing it is that one of the richest companies in the history of the world cannot find a way to determine if I've filled out a field on their webform without delegating it to the third world. #AppReview #Apple #iOSDevelopment

I have seven pages of call/response from Apple for this single build so far. I have a feeling they're going to realize I actually met their requirements soon, so I printed it to PDF to be an archive. #AppReview #iOSDevelopment

Apple got back to me again about the absence of a link to the license in the metadata, which is why I was able to send them a screenshot of the license selected in the metadata. (You can only send Apple one screenshot per reply of theirs.)

I honestly have no idea what they're still on about. I've requested a call, so I guess we'll talk about it… eventually. #AppReview #AppStore

App Review has again rejected me for 3.1.2, not have any link to the terms of service, despite me having a link to the terms of service and providing a screenshot of where to find it. We’ve been stuck on this now for over a week.

I have again pointed out where to find it. In three days, they will send me a reply to indicate they didn’t read it.

I am dealing with one of the greater idiots. #AppReview #iOSDevelopment

Apple entfernt ICEBlock-App aus dem App Store
Apple hat die umstrittene ICEBlock-App aus dem App Store entfernt. Die App war durch Berichte über angeblich bedenkliche Inhalte und politische Einflussnahme in den Fokus geraten.

So my App update was rejected (due to metadata). The only thing that #AppReview put in the note was the name of my app, which has been the same name since I released it on #visionOS1.0 and #visionPro Launch day #apple
