Fixed price by rejection class

Priced by what Apple actually flagged, not by the hour. Quote confirmed in writing after you send the exact Resolution Center text.

2.1 — Crashes & Completeness

$250 – $600 · 24-48 hr

Reviewer-flow crashes, placeholder content, and IAP products the reviewer couldn't find or reach.

  • Exact crash path reproduced and fixed, with a working demo account attached
  • Placeholder assets and copy replaced before resubmission

5.1.1 / 5.1.2 — Privacy Disclosure

$200 – $450 · 24-48 hr

Privacy label mismatches, permission strings, and missing PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy entries.

  • Usage-description strings rewritten to state the actual purpose
  • Privacy manifest and App Privacy questionnaire corrected to match real behavior

3.1.1 — In-App Purchase / StoreKit

$300 – $700 · 24-72 hr

Missing Restore Purchases, entitlement-trust bugs, and IAP products not attached to the build under review.

  • Restore Purchases wired to the correct StoreKit call, verified in Sandbox
  • Entitlement state re-derived from verified transactions instead of cached state

2.3 — Accurate Metadata

$200 – $350 · 24-48 hr

Screenshot, description, and price mismatches between the store listing and the live app.

  • Copy and screenshots brought back in line with the current build
  • IAP display name/price corrected to match the in-app paywall exactly

2.5.x — Software Requirements

$300 – $600 · 48-72 hr

Private API usage, unused background modes, and deprecated API calls — often from a third-party SDK, not first-party code.

  • Flagged symbol traced to its source and removed or replaced
  • Rebuilt on current Xcode/SDK with no remaining flagged references

Every quote is fixed before work starts. If diagnosis surfaces a second, unscoped problem underneath the reported rejection, that gets called out and priced separately — never absorbed silently into the original quote.

// Deliverable

What you get

Not just a diff. Everything needed to close the rejection out and get back to Ready for Sale.

  • The fix, delivered to your repo or project. Committed and buildable, not a description of what to change.
  • A plain-English write-up of what caused the rejection. The actual root cause, in your words, not Apple's boilerplate.
  • A drafted Resolution Center reply. Ready to paste in, stating what was found and fixed.
  • Resubmission, handled. Access is granted through an App Store Connect Developer-role team invite, never a shared password, and the build is followed through to Apple's decision.
// Process

How it works

Four steps from rejection to resubmission.

  1. 01

    Send the rejection text

    Paste the exact Resolution Center wording, verbatim, plus the guideline number if Apple gave one.

  2. 02

    Fixed-price quote

    Priced by rejection class, confirmed in writing before any work starts.

  3. 03

    Grant project access

    Repo access plus an App Store Connect Developer-role invite. The turnaround clock starts here, at access, not at quote.

  4. 04

    Fixed, resubmitted, followed through

    Build fixed, reply drafted, resubmission filed, and tracked through to Apple's verdict.

// Boundaries

What this is NOT

Plain about scope so the fixed price actually covers the work.

  • Not an approval or speed guarantee. Apple decides what passes review and how fast it moves. The specific defect gets fixed and verified — the review decision and the review clock are Apple's.
  • Not for every rejection. Account-level Guideline 5.6 issues and 4.3 template-spam rejections are declined outright. No code fix resolves an account penalty or a repeat-violation pattern.
  • Not backend work. If the root cause traces to server downtime or infrastructure outside the project access you grant, that's scoped and priced separately.
// After the fix

Want the full picture, not just this rejection? The $500 Code Audit Triage covers your whole codebase — StoreKit entitlements, privacy consistency, and App Review risk surface — in a 10-page report within 48 hours.

// Next step

Send the rejection text.

Fixed-price quote back the same day. Turnaround clock starts when you grant project access.
