5 Essentials to Take Care of When Publishing an iOS App to the App Store in 2021
Small details in the submission package can be the difference between approval and rejection
Apple is famous for its tedious process of reviewing new app submissions. The company’s App Store is one of the few places where every app is still reviewed manually. Developers rarely get everything right on the first try, despite the fact that there is a lot of documentation on the Apple website on what to take care of when submitting an app.

Solving these issues is fundamental for any digital product.
