App store submissions are a pain in the ass. And a mess.
The appstore connect website keeps giving timeouts and errors. One client took me 2 hours to create all products manually. Scripts wouldn't run.
I submit around 5-10 apps per month. Much more more automized updates, same codebase, sort of same content.
The process is pretty standardized.
50 procent is accepted no problem. 50 procent is rejected.
They refer to vague guidelines written by lawyers. And when asked for specification often refuse to give an answer.
IAP products are reviewed independently so if they are not in sync that causes an app reject without notifying you.
All of it sucks.
Apple makes it complicated on purpose and they don't care much for new small developers.
- strongpigeon 4y agoSeriously, what's up with App Store Connect crapping out so often. It's just generally so slow too. And the IAP thing you mention... Happened to me except they approved the app without the IAPs?! Users would just see these IAPs as unavailable until I had to resubmit a whole new build.
- jiggywiggy 4y agoYeah that also happened this week. It's one big mess. And they dare giving developers any form of criticism. I submitted a bug issue once over the phone. She was nice. Took me two weeks to submit all kinds of request of screen recordings and browser details. All i got back was after 2 weeks is to update my safari and see if it keeps happening. Once the giant is taken down, there will be few left rooting for them.
