Look inside

Good advice.
Actual pages.

Take a look at the actual pages. Each one turns a submission task or a confusing symptom into something you can check.

The product exists. Is it in the submission?

Creating your first subscription and including it for review are different steps. This page shows where to check, what can be missing, and what completed work looks like.

From the guide

The app’s paywall works in development. Products exist in App Store Connect. The first submission still does not include those products for Apple to review.

  • Open the correct app version
  • Resolve missing product information
  • Verify the saved product selection

Your coding agent gets a playbook too

A finding.
The evidence. The next step.

Run a read-only audit with 31 App Store checks. Then use the guide to close the questions that require the store dashboard or a real device.

IDENTITY-001VERIFIED PASS

name, slug, version, ios.bundleIdentifier and ios.buildNumber all present and non-empty.

Evidence: app.json
COMPAT-002VERIFIED FAIL

patchedDependencies pins react-native@0.79.2, but 0.81.5 is installed; one dependency is a different SDK major from the rest.

Evidence: package.json
ARTIFACT-001UNRESOLVED

No .ipa or .app supplied, so DTPlatformName cannot be verified. Provide the exact submission artifact.

Evidence: Submission artifact not supplied

Earlier Claude Code sample (v0.1.1). Included pack: v0.3.2, 31 checks. Full provenance is in the linked report.

The 42-page PDF playbook

Nine walkthroughs and nine practical labs, with real App Store Connect screens. Trace purchases, test the release and assemble a clear submission record.

Thirteen diagnostic field cases

Work through launch failures, purchase problems, missing metadata and reviewer access. Read actual Apple correspondence alongside the investigation. Cases without a primary message are labeled as internal notes; one covers an account incident caught before rejection.

Printable checklist + copyable templates

Keep a one-page final checklist, a release record, purchase map, reviewer notes and a factual response template for rejection recovery.

Agent audit pack

Give your coding agent a structured audit: 31 App Store checks, 30 supporting rules, 13 field patterns and an 11-step runbook. Every finding needs evidence and a next action.

12 months of updates

Keep your downloaded edition. Request updated files by email with your receipt number during the first year. Best-effort support covers file defects; app audits and submission services are not included.

Made for your last mile

Built with Expo?
This is for you.

For a solo developer preparing an Expo or React Native iOS submission, especially a first app with subscriptions.

The guide works without an AI account. You bring the app and your Apple developer account; it gives you a sequence to work through.

Compatibility and scope

The agent pack includes 31 App Store checks, 30 supporting rules and an 11-step runbook. It contains no executable. You still verify the store configuration and test the final app.

Frameworks: Guide: Expo / React Native iOS submission. Agent compatibility table: Expo SDK 52 through 57. Newer SDKs remain unresolved; the table does not establish current Apple build compliance.

Agents: Works as ordinary Markdown. Three adapters ship: Claude Code, a generic AGENTS.md block (which is what Codex and other AGENTS.md-aware tools use), and a Cursor rule. No universal automatic install is claimed, and no agent-specific adapter beyond those three.

It never signs in to or reads your App Store Connect account. You verify the store setup and test the final app.

Behind the guide

From real submissions.
With the evidence to learn from.

Published by Verto Studios. The guide draws on the studio’s own submission work, review messages and release investigations.

Case IDs and source labels distinguish Apple’s words, internal investigations and illustrative examples. App names, identifying details and personal names are withheld.

A few useful answers

Before you decide.

Ask us a question
What do I get for $29?

A 42-page PDF playbook, a printable checklist, copyable templates and an agent audit pack with 31 evidence-backed checks. The PDF works without an AI subscription.

Does it work with Expo and React Native apps?

Yes. The guide covers Expo and React Native iOS submissions. The agent pack’s compatibility table covers Expo SDK 52 through 57; newer SDKs need a separate check against current requirements.

Does it upload my app or access App Store Connect?

No. The skill is a read-only audit protocol with no executable code, no network requirement, no credentials, and no App Store Connect access. External facts remain unresolved until you provide evidence.

Does a passing report guarantee Apple approval?

No. It catches avoidable submission blockers and separates verified facts from developer confirmations and unresolved checks. Apple alone decides whether an app is approved.

Do I need Claude Code or another AI tool?

The PDF and templates work on their own. The agent pack uses your existing coding agent; adapters are included for Claude Code, Cursor and AGENTS.md workflows. The sample shows an earlier Claude Code run; current cross-agent validation is still pending.

Is this a subscription?

No. $29 USD is a one-time purchase, with 12 months of updates. Your downloaded edition remains yours.

How do delivery and refunds work?

The PDF playbook, printable checklist, templates and agent pack download together after payment, from the confirmation page.

Request a full refund within 14 days of purchase by emailing your receipt number to hello@vertostudios.com.
