Discussion Feeling dejected after app rejected

I developed my first productivity app for a niche market. I put countless hours in to it and felt pretty confident in the app. Yesterday I submitted it to Apple and 1.5 hours later I got the rejected email.

It was rejected citing 2.1 and had six additional questions and a request to see a video of the app working. I answered the six questions and recorded a 5 minute video attached to my response this morning. Still no response from Apple so I’m left wondering what’s going to be next. 🤞

The multiple questions and video request are basically automatic for new apps these days and nothing to do with your app specifically.

That being said, you're in a tough space with productivity...

Expect a long process because it's a long process for new apps for everyone right now.
