Doesn't Apple claim that the point of the review process is to catch these sort of things?

  No.

    Literally line 1 of the Apple App Store review page: > "We review all apps submitted to the App Store and Mac App Store to ensure they are reliable, perform as expected, and are free of offensive material." https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/ https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/

      I think certain developers can skip the review process.

        I think its more a case that reviews after your first have a lot less manual intervention, they certainly seem to happen much faster after the initial review.

      Perhaps having a debug feature is performing as expected? It certainly might be in some cases. I wouldn't expect a reviewer to reliably know the difference between diagnostic features deliberately present to help with remote support when people have issues and diagnostic features that should only be exposed to the developers.

        Presumptions regarding 'performing as expected'. It can't fail!

      If that's the case, perhaps Debug builds should be full of "offensive material" so that they are less likely to pass review ;)

  How is a reviewer to know that a debug option is not intended to be there though? It could be deliberately present to help remote support when people report issues. Admittedly the list of features exposed here includes things that you probably don't want the end user messing around with, but I wouldn't expect the reviews to know that - they aren't high level developers running a code review they are QA people tasked with making sure things don't simply fail badly or breach guidelines.
