Apple App Store Review - Response Document

Submission ID: 0992528e-4ce9-4167-9a1b-07f4334a8055 Review Date: January 09, 2026 App Version: 1.0 Review Device: iPhone 13 mini (iOS 26.2)


Original Review Feedback

Issue 1: Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness

Issue Description: The app exhibited one or more bugs that would negatively impact users.

Bug description: The Account Creation button did not start any action.

Review device details:

  • Device type: iPhone 13 mini
  • OS version: iOS 26.2

Issue 2: Guideline 4.0 - Design

Issue Description: There is an issue in the app that contributes to a lower-quality user experience than App Store users expect:

  • The app does not use expected gestures, such as back button from the chat screen.

Issue 3: Guideline 5.1.1(v) - Data Collection and Storage

Issue Description: 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.

Requirements:

  • 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.

Issue 4: Guideline 3.1.1 - Business - Payments - In-App Purchase

Issue Description: We noticed that your app includes or accesses paid digital content, services, or functionality by means other than in-app purchase, which is not appropriate for the App Store.

Specifically:

  • Your app accesses digital content purchased outside the app, such as Premium features, but that content isn't available to purchase using in-app purchase.

Next Steps: The paid digital content, services, or subscriptions included in or accessed by your app must be available for purchase in the app using only in-app purchase.
