We’ve all been in this situation before: you work tirelessly to build a great app, you spend countless hours beta testing and fixing bugs, and you even put together a comprehensive marketing plan in time for your app’s launch. Months of anticipation finally culminate when you submit your app to the app store… but instead of celebrating the new release, you find out that your app didn’t meet the right criteria for listing so it got rejected 😱.

There’s nothing quite as deflating as tripping at the finish line.

App store guidelines can be complicated and hard to remember because they’re constantly changing, but developers still need to follow them in order to get their apps approved. Sometimes, these guidelines get overlooked or lost in the shuffle of all the other important pre-launch tasks. To help you avoid unnecessary delays and rejection, we’re excited to introduce fastlane precheck for iOS apps! You can count on us to remember the rules so you can submit your app with confidence.

Review your app in seconds to save days of delays

Often, apps get rejected from app stores because of simple, solvable issues with their metadata (such as title, description, changelog, keywords, etc.). Once rejected, you have to resubmit your app and it can take days before it’s reviewed again. This wastes time and can throw off your schedule.

Instead of risking rejection or painstakingly auditing your own metadata, you can now use fastlane precheck to save you the time and hassle. fastlane will review your app for the most common causes of rejection 👍.

For example, we’ll check your metadata to ensure it follows iOS app store rules such as:

No other platforms are mentioned in the description There are no curse words in your copy No placeholder text is left No URLs are broken

If we detect any issues, we’ll flag them for you so you can resolve them before you submit your app to the app store. And since fastlane can automatically download your app’s metadata, this whole process takes only seconds!
