My app got rejected from iOS AppStore

My app got rejected from the iOS app store 😓

The two reasons my app got rejected from review were the following

  1. My app needed permission for microphone to record audio to create notes. Appstore responded that your permission string is not correct

Exact response: Please revise the purpose string in your app’s Info.plist file for the microphone to explain why your app needs access and include an example of how the user's data will be used.

  1. No option to delete the account

For a faster release I did not add delete account option in the app. i thought if anyone wants to delete there account it can be deleted by asking on the contact us form.

Now I need to create entire functionality to delete everything when a user deletes an account.

In Play Store the app is still under review.

    Not a bad list, thanks for sharing! Hoping to launch an app of my own soon - jotted down a note to add a delete function hah.

    Good luck on the launch! The podcast episode with Cliff Weitzman on Sub Club was super helpful for more b2c apps, founder of Speechify and how they got started.

    If a bunch of users contacted you via a form and asked you to delete their accounts (and anything related to that) it would take more time for you to do that than it would take to complete it automatically, having a route and option for that. It's half a work day extra time spent on implementing this vs what could take more and feel awkward to do manually. Also, sounds like you've made an MVP and by definition, the minimum viable product should include AT LEAST basic functionality whereas CRUD (D included as well) is part of basic..

      I'm not sure if deleting your account requests come in bunches. Maybe you are right. I believed if it comes down to that problem its a good problem to have . If it takes half a day to delete there account how many are signing up. Anyway now I have to add it

    I think you should be grateful for having such small problem with the store. As I heard, dealing with stores is hard. Furthermore, developing a delete functionality has to be done sooner or later...

      I have experience with the app stores. I know these are small. It's just that this time I made such a minimalistic app that it should have passed.

      App store review is the only reason I did not add subscription because of the review.
