For founders building for phones: native, cross-platform, or a web app in a wrapper.
When you ask a question, say:
- Platform: iOS, Android or both
- How it is built: native, React Native, Flutter, a web view, something else
- What the app does
- How you charge: free, paid, subscription, in-app purchases
- The problem, with the exact error or rejection text if there is one
Threads that do well here:
- Getting through store review, with the reason you were rejected and what fixed it
- In-app purchase and subscription setup
- What the stores take and how it changes your pricing
- Choosing between a web app and a native app
- Screenshots, listings and getting found in the stores
- Push notifications that people do not turn off
Before you start, a question worth answering honestly: does this need to be an app? Many products work as a website that is good on a phone, which avoids review queues, store fees and two codebases. Build the app when the product needs what only an app can do.
