Launching on the stores is not just uploading a file; it is a process with strict technical and marketing requirements, and any mistake can lead to rejection and delay.
Essentials before publishing
- Approved developer accounts (Apple Developer and Google Play Console).
- A clear privacy policy (mandatory on both stores).
- Icon, screenshots, and a keyword-optimized description (ASO).
Most common rejection reasons
- Crashes or broken links during review.
- Insufficient data-collection disclosure.
- Incomplete content or functionality.
App Store Optimization (ASO)
Choosing the right keywords, a compelling description, and professional screenshots increases downloads with no extra ad spend.
