Review Guidelines
All apps submitted to the App Store are reviewed based on a set of technical, content, and design criteria. Make sure to use these guidelines and resources before submitting your app for review.
App Thinning
With iOS 9, watchOS 2 and tvOS, the App Store allows users to download apps that are specifically optimized for their device. This means apps will download, install, and launch faster while taking up less storage space than before. Build support for slicing, on-demand resources, and bitcode to give your users smaller, more convenient updates to your apps.
Beta Testing
Before finalizing your app for release to the general public, get valuable feedback with beta testing and make sure it’s ready for your customers. TestFlight makes it easy to invite users to test your apps on iOS, tvOS, and watchOS.
