My app never made it to the app store

Last year I saw that a lot of people were making great money building and marketing iOS apps and with no code tools I felt like I could give it a shot.

I spent around 4 weeks going back and forth with a no code tool until I had an app that was happy with. Studied onboarding flows, knew exactly how i was going to market it & was super pumped.

Then it was time to submit...

The tool I was using promised "One-click to App Store", but only got me to TestFlight.

I felt lied to and was left having to figure out the submission process myself until I eventually gave up.

My app never reached the app store and I never got to share it with the world.

It was while I was struggling with submission that I thought a better solution was needed. Something that could automate the submission process and make it as easy as it was to prompt the coding tool used to make the app.

After doing some research & talking with some more experienced devs, I realized that the App store rejections are a real problem too. The avg new app gets rejected 3.5 times before it sees the App Store, and each rejection means days of delays until launch.

I decided to fix this.

I built a tool called Tminus. It automates the entire app submission process, generates metadata and policies, submits it for review, and soon it will be able to automatically handle rejections so you never have to deal with the Apple review team again.

Let me know, is this something you'd use?

Our Product Hunt launch could get us into YC

The startup I co-founded, Tminus, just launched on PH!

Little context: we noticed it had gotten easier than ever to code iOS apps, but publishing them was still broken, so we built Tminus to help get the ambitious, non-technical user's app live on the App Store and in front of real users. Its the product I wished existed when I was vibecoding my first iOS app.

Would greatly appreciate an upvote on our Product Hunt page, especially since a YC interview is on the table for any startup that launched today (May 8th)

Cheers & happy building! :)

I was getting tired of the multiple rejections and delays caused by the Apple review team so I made an auditing tool that flags potential issues before your app goes live

It’s part of a bigger project I’m working on, a tool that automates the publishing to App Store, but the audit tool comes before the paywall and is totally free to use :)

Give it a try, I hope this helps!
