App Store Launch
How It Works
From the first diagnosis to submission: scope, access, testing, review feedback and handover.
Scope
What I fix
Review issues I assess before agreeing on the work:
- "It's just a website"4.2
- Needs Sign in with Apple4.8
- No way to delete an account5.1.1
- It crashed, or the reviewer couldn't sign in2.1
- Charging through Stripe3.1.1
- People can post, but can't report or block1.2
- Screenshots don't match the app2.3
- Too similar to other apps4.3
Stacks: Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor, hand-built React. Read the App Store guides
Process
How it works
Four steps. Your account and your code stay yours.
Free diagnosis
Send the link, or the rejection. Within one business day: the guideline, the fix, and a fixed price.
Scoped access
You grant only what the job needs. Never your Apple ID password.
- Rejection text only
- App Manager, one app
- Code access
Fix and reply
Fixes land in your code. You read the reply to App Review before it goes out.
Submit and address feedback
I prepare the build; you press Release. Review fixes and resubmissions within the agreed scope are included. Balance due on approval.
Timelines
Diagnosis within one business day. Apple's review takes as long as Apple takes, usually a day or two.
Working style
Written updates by default. A 15-minute call when you want one.
What I need from you
- An Apple Developer Program membership in your name or your company's ($99 a year). Company accounts need a D-U-N-S number, which can take days to weeks, so start it first.
- An App Store Connect invite for me with the App Manager role. Never your Apple ID password.
- Access to your code (GitHub or a Lovable export) and your backend.
- Your app name, icon, privacy policy link, support link, and a demo login for Apple's reviewer.
Guarantee
What I stand behind
If Apple still won't approve the app after we've addressed feedback within the agreed scope, you never pay the remaining balance. Cancel for a full refund any time before I start.
What I don't take on
- Hiding features from the reviewer
- Working around a terminated developer account
- Apps with nothing app-like to add
- Template and spam apps
Covers the guidelines in the written diagnosis. Nobody outside Apple can promise approval.
FAQ
Questions
What do included fixes and resubmissions cover?
Before a deposit, we agree in writing on the app, features, review issues and delivery window covered. Fixes and resubmissions for that scope are included. New features, major backend repairs, business-model changes and newly discovered issues outside that scope need a separate quote and your approval before work starts.
What does the care plan include?
One routine release per month from your supplied, working code, plus up to one hour of minor iOS/SDK compatibility fixes, signing renewals or review replies. Release timing is agreed before you subscribe; unused time does not roll over. New features, major upgrades and backend repairs are quoted separately.
Do I need a Mac?
No. I build and submit the iOS app. You only need an Apple Developer account.
Can you guarantee Apple approves it?
No one can promise Apple's decision. What I can promise: review fixes and resubmissions within the agreed scope are included, and you don't pay the remaining balance until it's approved. If your app has nothing app-like to add, I'll tell you at intake instead of taking your money.
What if you can't take my app, or Apple never approves it?
If your app isn't a fit, I tell you at intake and you pay nothing; I only take a deposit after we've agreed on scope. You can cancel for a full refund any time before I start work. Once I've started, the deposit covers the work done, and if Apple still won't approve the app after we've worked through its feedback, you never pay the remaining balance.
Is the rejection diagnosis really free?
Yes. Send your app link and paste Apple's rejection message. Within one business day I'll tell you what the rejection means, what the fix involves, and the fixed price to do it. No payment details, no obligation.
Can I start smaller?
If your app has never been submitted, the $250 Readiness Check reviews it against the guidelines Apple rejects AI-built apps for, with a ranked fix list, draft reviewer notes and a short call. Fix it yourself, or book Launch within 30 days and the $250 comes off the price.
Do I have to rebuild my app?
No. Your iOS app is built from the code you already have. Your backend, including Lovable Cloud, stays where it is.
Can I keep building in Lovable?
Yes. Your Lovable project stays the source of truth. Depending on how the app is built, some changes show up on the iPhone right away; others need a new build and review, which can be scheduled within the care plan allowance. Larger changes are quoted separately.
How long does it take?
Usually one to two weeks, and most of that is waiting on your Apple account and Apple's review. Apple reviews most submissions within two days.
What if my app wasn't built in Lovable?
Apps from Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor or a hand-built React site work the same way. If it runs as a web app, it can usually become an iOS app.
Who is doing the work?
I am, personally. I'm a senior UX designer, and I research, design, build and ship my own apps. Two of them, Beles and EBT Finder, are live on the App Store.
Free diagnosis
Get a free app fit assessment.
Send the link and where it is stuck. Within one business day, I will assess the fit, recommend a package and outline next steps, or explain what else I need to review. The detailed $250 Readiness Check is separate; submitting this form does not book paid work.
- No Apple ID password, ever
- App Manager access to one app, revoked at handover
- Your code and backend stay where they are
