app-review-recovery

app-review-recovery is a skill for Codex from MartinPuli/createAnApp. It costs 69 tokens per session (767 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for investigating and fixing an Apple App Review rejection, where Apple has declined an app version or related store item. It preserves the reviewer’s evidence, identifies the underlying cause, verifies the fix, prepares a response, and handles dependent resubmissions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reproduce the reviewer’s experience, classify rejection issues, inspect the cited Apple rules, fix code or store materials, verify the exact build and submission items, and prepare a precise resubmission response.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from changing only the visible wording when the real problem may be in the app, payments, accessibility, privacy, account setup, or review access. It organizes the rejection as an incident with a traceable root cause.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

app-review-recovery scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

App Review Recovery

Treat the reviewer message, attachments, tested devices, version/build, and submission item set as authoritative incident evidence. Do not resubmit after changing text alone unless the root cause is proven to be metadata-only.

Read references/rejection-catalog.md to classify common signals and references/rejection-patterns.md for operational controls, but let the exact current reviewer evidence override both.

Preserve the incident

Record submission ID, review date, exact app version/build, review devices/OS, guideline, full message, screenshots/attachments, affected items/statuses, prior responses, and current storefront/build state. Redact reviewer contact and account data from public repositories.

Classify root cause

Map each issue to one or more layers:

  • code/functionality;
  • supported-device design/accessibility;
  • commerce/StoreKit;
  • metadata/screenshot/URL;
  • privacy/security/legal/content rights;
  • account/agreement/configuration;
  • review access/instructions/environment;
  • submission dependency/state.

Read the current cited guideline and linked Apple help. Look for additional contradictions; do not assume the first visible issue is the only one.

Reproduce the reviewer path

Use the exact build and closest available review device/OS. Start from a clean install and follow the supplied screenshots/message. Inspect adaptive widths, localization, permissions, offline/network conditions, logged-out/gated states, StoreKit availability, and review credentials.

If exact reproduction is impossible, state the gap and test conservative variants.

Implement the systemic fix

Fix every instance, not only the screenshot location. Update source, tests, design system, supported-device declaration, metadata, policies, and review notes as affected. Use a new build for binary changes.

Common controls:

  • Subscription EULA: functional Terms link in description when using the standard Apple EULA, or configured custom EULA; verify paywall/legal links too.
  • Crowded UI: redesign compact widths; do not simply shrink fonts. Audit every supported family/orientation/Dynamic Type size.
  • New subscription group: submit group plus at least one product and required new app version in the same submission.
  • Returned commerce items: repair and re-add the complete app/group/product dependency set.
  • Stuck screenshots: delete, valid RGB re-export, small-batch upload, save, and inspect every Media Manager well.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
