app store rejections are quietly killing vibe coded apps, anyone else seeing this?
by•
I’ve been building in the react native ecosystem for years (nativebase, gluestack) and lately im noticing a pattern. people generate a working app with AI over a weekend then get stuck for weeks at submission
Apple enforcing guideline 2.5.2, provisioning profiles, metadata rejections, the minimum functionality flag... the last mile just hasnt caught up with how fast the first mile got
few questions for folks here
if you’ve shipped an AI built app to the app store or play store how did review go
what got you rejected and how long did resubmission take
should the stores change how they review AI generated apps or is the friction actually a useful quality filter
genuinely curious where people are getting stuck....

Apple rejected the build for a crash on launch. The agent lost context mid-task and rebuilt a helper that already existed two files away under a different name, dropping the auth check. It compiles fine, but that hidden divergence breaks the moment a reviewer taps around.
