I've been writing the classic Stock Tracking app. I think I've got a new take on the basic tracking tool.
I'm hopefully launching in the App Store in December.
More to come...
Well submitted to Apple - App Review on Dec 1st. By Dec 2nd afternoon I had the 1st rejection (having been in this narrow dark road - I was expecting it). I just had no idea what it would be reject for...
No surprise - it was a surprize rejection - I did not meet the guidelines for a cryptocurrency exchange - a WHAT? No, it's not a crypto app at all. And not a currency exchange - just your rather typical stock tracking tool. Yes it does have some features that you will not find in a stock tracker - but it aint CRYPTO!
Apples - guideline on Crypto:
I have come to expect a few really dumb rejections - imagine you are a reviewer and the boss has given you a quota... It is reasonable for you to find the simplest first thing you can imagine to reject as many apps as you can. Right? Not saying all of them do this - but there is a high chance that the process design goes non-linear toward the dark side.
So you just respond calmly and address the questions.
No this App is not a Crypto Exchange. It is a basic stock tracking tool. What in our product page mislead you to that conclusion - I'm sure we can fix it.
As a solopreneur, you're going to run a few ... shove a book down the back side of your pants and get to moving...
"Through the gauntlet" (or more commonly, running the gauntlet) means enduring a severe, challenging ordeal or public trial, historically a form of corporal punishment where someone ran between two lines of people who struck them. Metaphorically, it describes facing intense criticism, tests, or difficulties one must overcome to reach a goal.
Now we are in the App Store.
There are still a thousand things to improve... but I have to get customer #1 some time... how about today!
