The one word iPhone developers all over don’t want to hear is "rejected". After all, you’ve put in months if not years worth of money, time and effort and the last thing you want is for your hard work to go to waste. But the truth is that most iPhone developers miss the mark simply because they forget to pay attention to the trivial details. No matter how great the application, it still has to abide by Apple’s rules. Here are a few things you can look out for in your next project.



1.If it doesn’t work, it goes into the trash – No, I am not trying to insult your intelligence by putting this point up despite its sheer obviousness. The reason its number one, is because this is the most common reason for an app to be rejected according to iPhone consultants. So make sure your app works, and it does what it says it will do.



2.Update! – The more times your app appears in the "what’s new" listings, the higher the chances of your app being downloaded. However, most iPhone app developers tend to forget to make sure that when they update their app, there absolutely has to be a change, otherwise in you go into the reject bin. For example, if you’ve updated your app so it shows different images for every type of chocolate in the picker, you should precisely report that your app now shows different images for the many types of chocolates in the picker. Let’s say, you forget to be specific. When an iPhone consultant over at Apple checks on your update, and finds nothing changed in the countdown screen (as opposed to the picker), they are just going to assume your update to be false.




3.Judging by appearance – There have been many instances where Apple has rejected apps on the grounds that its market was too small. Now, even if your app isn’t, but appears to have a select niche, an overworked iPhone consultant at Apple might still miss this, and reject it. So spare yourself (and the overworked iPhone consultant) the time and provide proof that your app has a big audience.



4.Visually disabled buttons – There is nothing more annoying than clicking on something, only to find that you need to upgrade for the button to work. Now imagine wasting money on visually disabled buttons like this when using an iPhone app. So Apple has informed iPhone developers that this is a no-no, and you should think about this when developing your own app.



5.Conversion nightmare – You might think that including the pricing in the description of your app might be a good idea as after all, its useful information right? But more info is not always better. Iphone consultants at Apple warn mobile phone apps developers not to include pricing as it may be confusing as users in different countries may not know which currency the price is in.
