Your app must be fully functional. No placeholder screens or “coming soon” features.
A privacy policy URL is required. Must be accessible and comprehensive.
Provide demo account credentials for review if login is required.
Test thoroughly before submission. Any crash will result in rejection.
Screenshots must match actual app. No misleading descriptions.
