Apple criticized for banning feature flags as review policy tightens
jdluk87 · x · 2026-10-18
Developer @NickADobos complains Apple is now banning feature flags: large apps rely on hundreds of config switches for staged rollouts and testing, and Apple previously ignored them under "bug fixes and improvements." Now even WIP features enabled for a small test cohort risk rejection. The poster argues Apple's review standards are far behind modern dev practices, sparking debate over App Store policy.
