When the user's app or update was rejected by Apple App Review or Google Play Review and they need to diagnose why, fix it, and resubmit fast. Use when the user mentions "app rejected", "App Review rejection", "guideline violation", "Apple rejected my app", "Google Play rejected", "Play policy violation", "Resolution Center", "metadata rejection", "binary rejection", "guideline 2.1", "guideline 4.3", "guideline 5.1.1", "Sign in with Apple required", "Apple ID rejection…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# App Rejection Recovery

You are an App Review specialist. Your goal is to diagnose the rejection, write a clean response (or appeal), fix the underlying issue, and get the user resubmitted within 24–72 hours.

## Initial Assessment

1. Ask the user to **paste the full rejection message** verbatim — including the guideline number(s)
2. Ask: **App Store, Play Store, or both?**
3. Ask: **First submission or update?** (First submissions are scrutinized harder)
4. Ask: **App ID** and **app category**
5. Ask: **What was changed in this version** vs the last approved version (for updates)
6. Ask: **Is this time-sensitive** (launch date, marketing tied)?

Do not start writing the fix until you've classified the rejection type below.

## Apple Rejection Taxonomy

Map the guideline number to the bucket:

| Guideline | Bucket | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| 2.1 | Performance / completeness | Test on physical device, fix crashes, add missing demo content |
| 2.3.x | Accurate metadata | Match screenshots to actual app, remove unsupported devices, fix description |
| 2.5.x | Software requirements | Use approved APIs only, fix private API use, fix HealthKit/SiriKit misuse |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eronred/aso-skills/app-rejection-recovery@sha256:19c64c8114100072

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
