Summary

App Store review readiness depends on submitting a complete, functional app with accurate metadata, working demo access, live backend services, and compliance with guidelines covering crashes, screenshots, iPad compatibility, minimum functionality, account deletion, permissions, and in-app purchases. Developers are encouraged to rehearse the review process using a clean installation of the exact release build on both iPhone and iPad simulators, signing in with the supplied reviewer credentials and testing every screen, feature, purchase flow, permission denial, account-deletion path, layout, and store listing detail. The release process typically progresses through internal testing, external beta testing, and final store review, with pre-submission testing especially valuable for detecting issues reviewers may encounter. Expo Simulators, currently in limited beta, can allow agents to conduct these checks remotely, gather screenshots and recordings, and share builds with teammates, though hardware-dependent features still require testing on real devices through TestFlight. After submission, developers can control launch timing through Apple’s manual release option or Google Play’s managed publishing, automate review-status notifications with EAS Workflows, and respond to rejections by clarifying issues, updating metadata, or submitting a corrected build.
