The cost of finding out late

Most App Review problems are found too late.

By the time Apple rejects a build, the release is already delayed. A preflight scan catches common submission risks before review.

Risk 01

Weak permission text

Find empty, vague, or risky purpose strings before submission — the most common avoidable rejection cause.

Risk 02

Metadata mismatch

Compare project details against what the IPA actually contains, so the listing and the binary do not drift apart.

Risk 03

Manual review gaps

Surface review notes and app context that need your answer. Some checks cannot be automated honestly.

Risk 04

Privacy signal issues

Catch missing privacy or binary metadata signals before review, while there is still time to fix them.

Agentic scan

Scanner signals in one pass.

The scanner inspects build metadata and submission-readiness signals without running your app.

Pipeline

Upload. Scan. Report. Delete.

From upload to verified deletion, every step is tracked so the operator can confirm the scan completed safely.

Security

Private build review by design.

Your exported IPA is scanned for submission-readiness signals. It is not run, installed, or sent to an AI model.

  1. 01Build received
  2. 02Static signal scan
  3. 03Readiness report generated
  4. 04Original build deleted
  5. 05Deletion verified

No source code required

Scans operate on the exported archive. Your repository never leaves your machine.

Binary not sent to AI

Binary contents are never transmitted to an AI model. Findings come from deterministic rules.

Original IPA deleted

The uploaded build is deleted after processing, and the report shows deletion verification.

Audit trail for every run

Uploads, scans, and deletions are logged so your team can confirm exactly what happened.

Who it is for

Built for release teams that cannot afford blind submissions.

  • 01

    Indie iOS developers

    Catch avoidable rejection risks before release day — without a review team behind you.

  • 02

    Agencies

    Run a final preflight before sending client builds to review.

  • 03

    Startups

    Reduce uncertainty when shipping fast and revising weekly.

  • 04

    App consultants

    Create a structured readiness report with evidence before every submission.

Scope

What the scan does — and does not do.

The scanner detects rejection risks and produces readiness guidance. Apple's final decision is always independent.

Does this guarantee App Review approval?

No. Release Preflight provides readiness guidance and risk detection. Apple's final decision is independent.

Do I need to upload source code?

No. It scans exported IPA builds only.

Is the IPA deleted?

Yes. The original build is deleted after processing and the report shows deletion verification.

Is my binary sent to an AI model?

No. Binary contents are not sent to an AI model.

What kinds of issues can it find?

Permission strings, metadata mismatches, policy-risk signals, missing values, manual review areas, and evidence-backed checks.

Can I rescan after fixing issues?

Yes. Reports are kept so you can compare what changed.

Private beta

Run a preflight before your next App Review submission.

Upload your exported IPA, review the findings, fix what matters, and submit with better visibility.
