What does Apple check during app review?

Apple reviews apps for: functionality (no crashes or broken features), accurate metadata (description matches the app), design quality (follows iOS guidelines), privacy compliance (privacy policy, data disclosure), and content appropriateness. About 40% of first-time submissions are rejected. Shippabel's scan checks all these requirements before you submit, significantly reducing rejection risk.

Do I need a privacy policy for my app?

Yes. Both Apple and Google require every app to have a privacy policy, even if your app collects no data. The privacy policy must be hosted on a public URL and linked in your store listing. Shippabel generates a complete, GDPR/CCPA-compliant privacy policy using AI and hosts it for you automatically — it takes one click.

Apple requires screenshots at specific sizes: iPhone 6.7-inch (1290×2796 pixels), iPhone 6.1-inch (1179×2556 pixels), and optionally iPad sizes. Google Play requires minimum 1080px on the shortest side. You need at least 3 screenshots. Shippabel's screenshot editor exports at exact App Store dimensions and frames them in professional device mockups automatically.

This wrapping process adds a native mobile shell around your web app so it can be published on both the App Store and Google Play.
