ADVICE

Ship Before It's Perfect

  • Ship before perfection and treat many features as V2 to avoid endless pre-launch tweaking.
  • Release early to learn real user priorities and shift focus based on usage, not internal worry.
ADVICE

Respond Clearly To App Store Rejections

  • When App Store reviewers flag non-applicable requirements, explain clearly why they don't apply using concrete examples.
  • Implement required reporting/blocking hooks when available to satisfy review checks quickly.
