3 rejections. 13 days. My first app is finally live.

Today my first ever app finally went live on the App Store.

What I thought would be a simple submission turned into 3 rejections, countless guideline checks, multiple fixes, and 13 days of waiting. Every time I thought I had fixed everything, another issue popped up.

There were moments when I felt like giving up because I wasn't even fighting bugs anymore, I was fighting the review process.

But this afternoon I finally saw the approval mail.

It's probably a small milestone compared to many people here, but after 3 rejections and 13 days of back and forth, seeing my app go live feels incredibly rewarding.

The app is called Affirmation Daily Positivity:

For those who have launched apps before, what was your biggest App Store rejection story or how long did your first approval take?

I'd love to hear your experiences.
