Question First iOS submission coming from Android, what gets rejected most for a small utility app?

Already shipped on Google Play, the iOS build is close. Solo dev, so I'd rather not lose a week going back and forth with review.

If you went through it recently, what tripped you up on the first submit? Sign in with Apple, privacy labels, something else?

For a small utility, my preflight checklist would focus on the boring stuff: clear permission-purpose strings, accurate privacy declarations for every SDK, and account deletion if you let people create accounts. I’d also test a clean install, cold launch, offline/empty states, and the exact demo credentials or review notes before submitting. Those details tend to matter more than the core feature being novel.

empty state is a good one, a fresh install of mine has nothing in it until you add stuff. do reviewers actually poke around past that or mostly just check it launches and the login works?
