How quickly did you launch your app on the App Store?

Launching Twixie, our new kids' app, on the App Store has been challenging due to the numerous restrictions, which are tough to navigate. We've been working for about 3 weeks to get it approved by the App Store reviewers and are now in the final stages of approval (hope so 🤞). To assist with this, I created the App Store Navigator – a customized GPT designed to guide you through the App Store Review Guidelines. https://chat.openai.com/g/g-D5dWO0rnU-app-store-navigator It not only helps in preparing for various nuances but also aids in quickly resolving any rejection issues. I'd appreciate your feedback on it ❤️

3 month from dev start, still not launched, waiting for Corporate account registration. Bottlenecks us a bit.

Making the app very simple for the first submission might help!

@jaden_hong Yeah, when you launched a few apps in one category and for one target audience – it could be. But when you launch for a new target audience, for example, for kids... there are so many restrictions that can significantly slow down you... like us 🥲

@jaden_hong My corporate account took like 2 weeks to be made and my app took 1 week to be verified
