Overview
This article focuses on the review process of Apple before publishing an iOS app. It will help you understand the differences between a good and a bad app and it will also assist you in identifying the Go/No-Go guidelines.
Introduction
iOS App Review Process
Apple's approval guidelines are extremely strict. As a result, we set down specific limitations to help the customers get their app approved. When you submit an iOS app on the CMS platform, the app needs to pass our internal review process and only then it will be uploaded on the Apple Store.
Tip: Pay special attention to Guidelines 4.2.6 and 5.2.1
Once an iOS app is uploaded and reaches its waiting status "Waiting for Review", it is in Apple's hands already. Generally, Apple will begin its review within 3-5 business days. If they approve the app, it will be released and will become available to download through the App Store.

Apple's No-Go Guidelines
- App Company Apps:
For example, your new app company's name is Mobile App Masters and you want to create the "Mobile App Masters App". There is no way Apple will approve it since it's purely marketing in nature. As a result, we will not upload it. - Wedding or Personal Event Apps:
Apple will never approve an app for a wedding or any other personal event. It holds no long-term value in the marketplace, and after the event is over, it will most likely never be used again. Apple does not want unused apps floating around the App Store. - Adult Content Apps:
An app with overt adult themes, nudity, or questionable content will never be accepted. This includes apps for gentlemen's clubs, escort services, adult entertainers, etc. - Apple apps cannot be solely marketing in nature, meaning the app cannot simply list your services or products. There must be a useful function to the app that compels users to revisit it often.
Apple's Go Guidelines
- There must be a useful function to the app that compels users to revisit it often.
- Apps must contain dynamic content and integrate with iOS's native features.
