Replit app rejected? Here's why, and how we fix it.

Why Replit apps get rejected

Most Replit projects are web apps with their own server and database, published from Replit. Getting one onto a phone usually means wrapping it. These are the problems that follow.

• The server wasn't there for the reviewerIf the published app is paused, expired or slow to wake up, the reviewer sees an error or a blank screen. Replit's free Starter plan, for example, takes its published app down after 30 days.
• Links to the development addressParts of the app point at the development version, which stops answering when the editor is closed.
• A web app in a wrapperWrapping the published web app without changes leads to Guideline 4.2.
• Sign-in first, everything else laterLogin on the first screen, no privacy policy, and no way to delete the account.
• Stripe for digital purchasesWorks on the web. On iPhone, digital purchases need Apple's in-app purchase.

The rejections we see most

How to share your project with us

Replit lets you invite a collaborator by email from inside the project. The person you invite doesn't need a paid plan, but Replit lists collaboration on its paid Core and Pro plans.

1. Open your project and select InviteIt's in the upper-right corner.
2. Enter our emailType hello@resubmitly.com and select Invite. We accept and start reading through the project.

Please invite our email rather than sending the Private join link: Replit says that link gives edit access to anyone who has it. Project owners can revoke access at any time. If Invite isn't available on your plan, use the three-dot menu at the top of the file tree, choose Download as zip, and upload the file 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:

We make the changes inside your own Replit project 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.
