Building an iPhone app Apple requires users to ...
If you're building an app and you're about to submit it to the Apple App Store, make sure you watch this video or your app will be rejected on submission. For those of you who don't know, if you want to submit an app to the App Store, you have to join the Apple Developer Program. And Apple requires that every app that's submitted to the Apple App Store, if users can create an account, they also must be able to delete it as well. But if you're an experienced developer, you know that deleting something in your database can cause catastrophic issues. That's where you level up as a developer and learn about obfuscation, which means you intentionally alter the code so that it's unintelligible. So now instead of actually deleting the user, you maintain your database structure, but you know out all the values or for example, you leave a placeholder. This way, your app gets accepted and you also don't break your database in the same time. Make sure to like and comment for more and follow me if you want to make your app as production ready as possible.
