Prep store metadata: accurate device-targeted screenshots, consistent app name/bundle identifier, correct age rating/category/keywords, and no placeholders or misleading claims.
Privacy and data collection: include required privacy disclosures and usage descriptions for sensitive APIs; link a live privacy policy; explain data use at first launch when applicable.
In‑app purchase compliance: features unlocked by payment should use the required in‑app billing; avoid external purchase links; implement restore purchases and receipt validation where needed.
Review notes and demo access: provide a test account with non‑expiring credentials, clear steps to reach premium flows, stable backend, a contact email, and rationale for special entitlements (e.g., background modes, health data).
Technical readiness: test on latest and previous OS versions, ensure crash‑free first launch, handle offline states, answer export/encryption questions correctly, and request tracking or sensitive permissions only when necessary and after context.
