My App Store preflight tool works, but nobody’s using it, even after I made it free. I’m thinking of open-sourcing the whole thing.

I built a tool that checks iOS app builds for potential App Store rejection blockers before you submit them to App Store Connect. The idea is to catch issues early so you can fix them before submitting your app. Unfortunately, I got pretty much zero traction after launching it. Nobody even visited the website, so I was about to open-source the whole thing and move on. Before doing that, I used it to check my own personal app. It caught 8 potential blockers, which I fixed before submitting. It took Apple 10 days to complete the review, but my app finally got approved on the first attempt. I’m honestly just glad my tool worked, because I can’t imagine having to wait another 10 days if the app had been rejected and I needed to fix things and resubmit. So the tool seems to be doing what I built it for, but I haven’t figured out how to get it in front of people who might actually need it. I’m still planning to open-source the entire project in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, I’ve made the preflight feature free to use. **Promo code: PREFLIGHT30** No credit card required. Your builds are processed locally on your PC and don’t leave your machine. You can try it now or wait until the project is open-source. You’ll find the website link in the description. I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from iOS developers. Is checking for potential rejection issues before submitting something you’d find useful?
