I’m building an app MVP and I’m trying to understand the *real* path from “it works on my phone” to **published on the iOS App Store** **&** **getting paid customers**. If you’ve been through this end-to-end, I’d love the honest version. I see plenty of influencers saying they are making apps and copying apps but not selling their new app. 1. **Can any MVP be shipped, or does Apple expect “production quality” from day 1?**\ What are the common rejection reasons you hit? 2. **What’s the protocol / checklist to go from MVP → App Store?**\ Like the real steps: certificates, provisioning, TestFlight, App Store Connect, screenshots, privacy labels, etc. 3. **Payments:** - Did you use Apple In-App Purchases, Stripe, or both? - If it’s a digital product/subscription, is IAP mandatory? - Any mistakes that caused rejection or delays? 4. **Privacy + compliance:**\ What did you need to have ready (privacy policy, data collection disclosures, account deletion, tracking permissions)? 5. **Launch + sales:**\ Once you were approved, what actually moved the needle? - ASO (keywords, screenshots, reviews) - paid ads vs organic - influencers / UGC - pricing tests If you reply, could you include: - what kind of app it was (utility, habit app, SaaS companion, etc.) - how long approval took (and how many rejections) - what you’d do differently on your next launch I’m aiming to go from **MVP to approved to first real sales**. I feel like in it is very possible would love to hear of someones sucess to push me over the line. Cheers, Damien.
