App Store Preflight catches App Review risks

App Store Preflight is an AI agent skill for iOS and macOS projects that scans Xcode projects, source code, metadata, and configuration files against Apple review guidance before submission. It focuses on common rejection triggers like missing privacy manifests, competitor-brand wording, misleading subscription copy, unused entitlements, and app-type-specific issues across categories such as AI, macOS, kids, health, finance, and subscriptions. The repo positions the tool as a preflight gate that can report findings, suggest fixes, and rerun checks after autofixes.

// ANALYSIS

Strong idea: it turns App Store review from a fuzzy guessing game into a repeatable checklist.

  • Best fit for teams shipping quickly, indie devs, and anyone who keeps getting hit by the same avoidable rejection reasons.
  • The app-type-specific rule sets are the real value, since they cut down on generic noise.
  • The limitation is simple: it can reduce obvious violations, but it cannot guarantee approval because human review still has judgment calls.
