Built with Cursor or Claude Code, rejected by the store?

AI coding tools can build any kind of app: React Native, Flutter, a wrapped web app. That freedom means the rejections vary more too. What they share is code that ran fine on your machine but never met a reviewer.

RejectedGuideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness

We discovered one or more bugs in your app. Specifically, the app crashed when we tapped Sign in with Apple on iPad.

Next steps: Please run your app on a supported device to identify the issue, then revise and resubmit your app for review.

A typical message. Apps built with AI coding tools also often get Guideline 5.1.1 (privacy), 3.1.1 (payments) and 4.3 (template apps).

Why Cursor apps get rejected

When you build with an AI editor, there's no builder making choices for you. That's powerful, and it means nobody checked the parts reviewers care about.

  • Never run on a real iPadSimulators and your own phone aren't review. Crashes on iPad, older devices or a fresh install are the classic 2.1.
  • Privacy details missingVague permission text, no privacy policy link, no account deletion in the app: the 5.1.1 checklist that code generators skip.
  • Stripe where Apple wants in-app purchaseAI tools reach for Stripe by default. For digital features on iPhone, that's a 3.1.1 rejection.
  • Tutorial-shaped appsAn app that closely follows a well-known starter, or wraps an AI model with little else, can fall under 4.3.
  • A wrapper around your websiteIf the app is a web project in a shell, Guideline 4.2 applies just as it does to apps from Lovable or Bolt.

The rejections we see most

How to share your project with us

Projects from Cursor, Windsurf or Claude Code are folders on your computer. The easiest way to share one is a private GitHub repository.

GitHub Free allows unlimited collaborators on private repositories. To remove us later, open the same Collaborators page and click Remove next to our name. Prefer not to use GitHub? Zip the project folder and upload it when you start your order.

When you start your order, we also show you how to invite us to your App Store Connect or Google Play Console account. It's a separate two-minute step, and we never ask for your password.

What we fix

Every app is different, but these come up again and again:

Crash on iPad or a fresh install
Vague or missing permission text
No privacy policy link
No account deletion in the app
Stripe used for digital features
Thin AI-wrapper or starter-template apps
Web wrapper with no app-like feel
Missing demo account for review

We make the changes inside your own repository and your own developer account. The app stays yours, and it's resubmitted from your account, not ours. If it comes back rejected, we keep going at no extra cost.

Questions about Cursor apps

What kinds of projects can you work on?

React Native and Expo, Flutter, and Capacitor or other wrapped web apps. If yours is something else, send it to the free check and we'll tell you.

Do I need to know Git?

No. Publishing to GitHub from the editor is a few clicks. If it doesn't work for you, a zip upload is fine.

Will you push changes to my repository?

Yes, to your own repository, so the latest version is always yours. You keep working in Cursor, Windsurf or Claude Code afterwards.

Is my code safe with you?

You stay in control: the repository is private and yours, and you can remove our access from GitHub at any time. We never ask for your passwords.
