Thanks for being a part of WWDC25!

How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here

Can I submit my application, which have not public usage?

Hello, first time posting here.

Our company makes ecommerce website, some of those websites use e-ticket and coupon features. When customers buy them, they receive QR code via Email.

Now we need application solution for activate those QR tickets. Our app supposed to usable by only our vendors. Only they can login with their username & password and scan Tickets & Coupons they sale.

So when public (other users) download it, they only see login page, and cannot go further.

When we submitted our app, app store denied it, says "we need to submit" actual application screen, which shouldn't be login page. We can display some post events, or test ticket page etc, if it required. But users will never see them anyway.

In this case, how to submit my app?

Thanks.

It sounds to me that you are trying to publish something that is just a copy of your website, which may go against App Review Guideline 4.2. So what could your app do that your website can't?

Sorry for confusing post, my English sucks.

Whole e-commerce website is much bigger, sells many things. E-Ticket and Coupons are only small part of it. What this application do is, it scans & confirms only already bought tickets/coupons. It don't sell anything. Just scan and claim button, thats all.

Thank you for your post. We're investigating and will contact you in App Store Connect to provide further assistance. If you continue to experience issues during review, please contact us.
