Use this skill when the user:
App icon requirements.
| Platform | Size | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| iOS | 1024x1024 px | PNG, no alpha | Single icon; iOS generates all sizes |
| Android | 512x512 px | PNG, 32-bit | Used in Play Store listing |
| Adaptive (Android) | 108x108 dp foreground + background | PNG | For launcher; configure in app.json |
In Expo app.json:
{
"expo": {
"icon": "./assets/icon.png",
"android": {
"adaptiveIcon": {
"foregroundImage": "./assets/adaptive-icon.png",
"backgroundColor": "#FFFFFF"
}
}
}
}
Tips: no transparency on iOS (Apple rejects it), no text in the icon (does not scale), test on dark and light wallpapers.

Privacy policy. Both stores require a publicly accessible privacy policy URL. Must cover:
Set in app.json:
{
"expo": {
"ios": {
"privacyManifests": {
"NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes": []
}
}
}
}
And provide the URL in App Store Connect / Play Console.
Age rating / content rating.
Both are required before the first submission.
Review guideline checklist. Common rejection reasons:
| Issue | Platform | How to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Crashes on launch | Both | Test on real devices, not just simulators |
| Placeholder content | Both | Remove "lorem ipsum" and test data |
| Missing login credentials | iOS | Provide demo account in review notes |
| No privacy policy | Both | Add URL before submitting |
| Misleading metadata | Both | Screenshots must show actual app UI |
| External payment links | iOS | Do not link to web payment outside IAP |
| Missing App Tracking Transparency | iOS | Add ATT prompt if using IDFA |
| Missing AI disclosure | iOS | If using AI, explain what it does and what data it uses |
| Target API too low | Android | Must target latest or latest-1 API level (API 36 from Aug 2026) |
