Are you creating an app with user-generated content? To avoid rejection from the App Store, it's crucial to follow Apple's guidelines closely (Section 1.2). This can be challenging, but by taking proactive steps you can increase the chances of approval and make the app review process smoother.

1. Informing new users about the app's policies regarding user-generated content is crucial. It's mandatory to ask users to agree to End User License Agreement (EULA) terms before allowing users to use the app. Failing to include this step will result in rejection from the App Store.

2. The App Store mandates features for users to report or flag objectionable content. This can be achieved by implementing simple options such as a "hide this content," "do not show me again," "report," or "flag" buttons. These features give users greater control over the content displayed to them and enable them to block any content they do not wish to see.

3. Alongside mechanisms for reporting objectionable content, it's vital to empower users to block or report other users if needed. Just as with content moderation, allowing users to take action against individuals who breach community guidelines or behave inappropriately promotes a safer and friendlier environment. This can be achieved by incorporating options to report or block a specific user.

4. After a user submits a report, it's essential to promptly confirm receipt and assure them that their request will be addressed within 24 hours. This confirmation usually involves sending a message to the user, acknowledging receipt of the report and promising a thorough review within the specified timeframe.
