app content and functionality will be rejected

Make sure that if you’re releasing a Flappy Bird style game, that you’re not calling it “Currency Convertor”.

Apps that contain false, fraudulent or misleading representations or use

names or icons similar to other apps will be rejected

Guideline 22.2

Spend time thinking of an original name, style and icon.

App names in iTunes Connect and as displayed on a device should

be similar, so as not to cause confusion

Make sure your app’s actual name is included somewhere in the

iTunes Connect name.

Make sure all your images and text have been loaded in. Check

every view and every interaction.

rejected
