What if Apple rejects my app

BDK Native provides access to the native capabilities in the form of Bubble workflows & actions.
If Apple's rejection names a BDK Native capability, send us Apple's note on the chat. If the fix needs a new iOS build, it uses one of your banked rebuilds, like any other rebuild
BDK payments are final, so there are no refunds, including when Apple rejects an app
If the reason for rejection is not native capability related - such as providing inadequate or improper app store listing, legal, business, content, or subpar look & feel of your bubble app - there is no obligation on BDK Native platform to issue you a rebuild. These are yours to fix, and many need no rebuild at all: your listing and your bubble app change without one.

It is well established that just having native capabilities is not a guarantee of Apple approving an app
To meet Apple's review criteria, it is important that you submit a bubble app which has quality design with a native look & feel
Apple also frequently rejects apps for reasons that are not product related e.g. privacy, security, business model, vulgarity etc

Your app uses a login interface but you forget to provide the Apple reviewer with a username and password for testing
You have used generic iOS permissions messages in your project page. They need to be specific : see 'purpose string' examples provided by Apple here
Submitting to apple for review with android phone screenshots or app information in the listing mentioning android / play store
Mentioning 'android' or 'play store' inside your bubble app. Yes, they really hate it. Tip: You should conditionally hide these 'when appinfo's is Native iOS is yes'
Your app lets people create an account, but there's no way to delete the account inside the app
Your bubble app's look & feel is badly designed. If Apple feels, its just another website they will reject it. To see examples of approved apps, check out our gallery.

Fortunately, each of these things can be easily addressed by you

Just do the basic things right and submit a good looking bubble app. That's your best shot. The final call is always Apple's.
