Move your rating prompt out of onboarding — or risk rejection

Apple has begun enforcing App Review Guideline 5.6.3 by rejecting apps that prompt users for reviews during the onboarding process, as this practice is considered manipulative and erodes customer trust. Previously, some apps garnered numerous five-star ratings by asking for reviews before users could fully engage with the app. Apple now advises developers to remove review prompts from the onboarding flow and instead request feedback at "natural and happy moments" when users have genuinely interacted with the app. To adapt, developers should implement systems to track user engagement, prompting reviews only when users are likely to give positive feedback, ensuring compliance with Apple's guidelines and potentially enhancing app store ratings.
