Finished my app. Why do I feel like I'm just getting started?

I've been building my first app prototype using AI/no-code tools and it gave me a completely different perspective on solo developers. At first, I thought the hardest part would be building the app itself. But now it feels like testing, fixing random UI issues, handling app store requirements, and making everything work consistently is the real challenge.

[I'm attaching some screenshots if anyone wants to take a look it's definitely not polished yet but it works lol]

How do you guys handle testing as solo devs? Do you rely on automation or mostly test things manually? Are there any AI tools that actually help with QA/testing or is that still unreliable? Would genuinely love to hear how experienced solo devs approach this because right now it feels overwhelming even with AI tools helping.

What actually matters most for App Store approval?

How many times are you guys getting dinged by Apple for metadata before it finally sticks?

Genuinely asking because it feels like every dev has their own theory about App Store approval.

Some people swear by specific keywords. Others say screenshots have to look a certain way. Then there are the people who somehow get approved on the first try and everyone’s just sitting there wondering how.

I’m not even talking about actual bugs in the app - I mean metadata, guideline issues, “spam” rejections, etc.

Has anyone here actually figured out a way to reduce App Store rejections or you guys are just tweaking everything till u get approved? What finally worked for you?
