I've seen cases where Apple will actually decompile/debug your app and point you the exact feature / method / line that they find unacceptable. Despite all of my other complaints about iOS ecosystem, they _do_ keep their App Store walled garden fairly well tended.

Out of curiosity, where those big name apps, or small ones? I assume that level of service is reserved or more important apps?

I had Apple point out that I hadn’t yet added a TOS for a trivia app I was making; they’re very thorough.

Almost every rejection has been a matter of "process," like ToS, privacy policy, plist entries, etc.

In a couple of cases, they actually found crashes that I missed in my testing.

I should also mention another common rejection reason, so it's "out there."

Trademark use.

I have had apps rejected because I used a trademark (usually Apple's) in my app name or description.

For example, I had submitted an app called "Bluetooth 8-Ball for tvOS".

I was told that "tvOS" was not allowable. I had to use "TV".

This kind of thing has happened a few times. I casually use Apple trademarked terminology a lot, but I can't be as sanguine about it when I submit apps.

Full Disclosure: They also had a problem with the app being a "demonstrator" app. They don't want us releasing apps that they don't think we're "serious" about. They had a point, and I ended up withdrawing the app.

Not a tiny app by any means, but we were definitely small enough that we were surprised at the level of depth in their analysis.

[ChrisMarshallNY]

Small ones. Most are free.

Over the years, I've had over twenty apps in the store, but most are retired.
