App Rejected

Can anyone with experience successfully launching an app on the App Store help me? My app was recently rejected by Apple.

It says my app didn’t comply with

  • “Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality: The usefulness of the app is still limited by the minimal functionality it currently provides. Specifically, the app primarily offers content for users to view or use, with limited interactive features. Apps should provide valuable utility or entertainment, draw people in by offering compelling capabilities or content, or enable people to do something they couldn't do before or in a way they couldn't do it before.”

And

  • ”Guideline 5.1.1(v) - Data Collection and Storage: The app supports account creation but does not include an option to initiate account deletion. Apps that support account creation must also offer account deletion to give users more control of the data they've shared while using an app. Follow these requirements when updating an app to support account deletion:
  • Only offering to temporarily deactivate or disable an account is insufficient.

  • If users need to visit a website to finish deleting their account, include a link directly to the website page where they can complete the process.

  • Apps may include confirmation steps to prevent users from accidentally deleting their account. However, only apps in highly-regulated industries may require users to use customer service resources, such as making a phone call or sending an email, to complete account deletion.”

Right, so have you implemented anything to adhere to those rejections?

Your app really does need to be more useful. If it's just a minimal front-end to a website or something, it doesn't need to be an app and will be rejected.

And yes, if you offer to create accounts you have to allow a user to delete their account entirely.

I don't see your issue here.
