Hello,
I am very new to the building IOS app and donot know all the functionality... I was trying to publish app on apple store, but it got rejected due to following reason (reasons mentioned in the next section). Can you please guide me what changes are required in the build files? (Tried attaching ZIP file of project build, but unfortunately ZIP file don't allow to attach)
Sorry for the noob behaviour, but not quite sure what to change :(
Thanks for your valuable time! Regards.

Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality
Your app provides a limited user experience as it is not sufficiently different from a mobile browsing experience. As such, the experience it provides is similar to the general experience of using Safari. Including iOS features such as push notifications, Core Location, and sharing do not provide a robust enough experience to be appropriate for the App Store.
Next Steps:
To resolve this issue, please revise your app to provide a more robust user experience by including additional native iOS functionality.
If you cannot - or choose not to - revise your app to be in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines, you may wish to build an HTML5 web app instead. You can distribute web apps directly on your web site; the App Store does not accept or distribute web apps. For more information about creating web apps, refer to the Configuring Web Applications section of the Safari Web Content Guide. For a description of the HTML elements and attributes you can use in Safari on iPhone, check out Safari HTML Reference: Introduction.
Guideline 5.2.1 - Legal - Intellectual Property
We noticed that your app was created from an app generation service or a commercialized template, but does not appear to be directly submitted by the owner or provider of the business, brand, or service. In order to protect Apple users from dealing with unauthorized parties, we require documentation of your relationship with the provider of the goods or services in your app.
Next Steps:
To resolve this issue, this app must be submitted by the owner of the business or organization for which the app has been designed under its own Apple Developer Program account. Alternatively, you may provide documentation that shows your ownership of the business or organization for which the app is designed. If you choose to submit documentation, it should come from a governmental authority or other reputable source of business registration for your country or region. Please ensure that this documentation clearly:
- Identifies you as the owner of the entity
- Includes relevant signatures and dates
- Provides details explaining your affiliation with the business or entity providing the goods or services in your app
Please note that providing documentation of your rights to include third-party content within your app is not sufficient to resolve this issue.
Once we have reviewed your documentation and confirmed its validity, we will proceed with the review of your app.
Resources
- For information on transferring an app to another developer account, please review the App transfer overview page in on App Store Connect Help.
- For new apps, you will need to ask your client to enroll in the Apple Developer Program and submit this app under its own Apple Developer Account.
