Frequently asked questions
Does a rejection hurt my app or account?
No. Rejections are a normal part of the process; the stores track policy strikes only for serious violations (for example deceptive behavior or repeated spam). A rejected build is simply replaced by the next one.
How long does the second review take?
Apple usually reviews a resubmission within a day, often within hours. Google Play takes a few days for new accounts and is faster afterwards.
Can WebViewGold support help with my specific rejection?
Yes. Paste the rejection text into the 24/7 support chat; the team has seen every variant and tells you which setting or which change in your web app resolves it.
