    Additional information about the app that can help Apple during the review process. Non-mandatory; 4000 Characters Max

    Please log in to the Guest User profile. No credentials are required for this profile.

    The Review Notes are set to instruct Apple to use a profile visually called "Guest user" / "Guest" to log in. It is very important that the profile name is changed in the event that the credentials provided are for a non "Guest" named profile.

    For example:
    A customer may have used a "Guest" profile for their previous submission but wish to submit their app for the current release with the "Student" profile. The default information in App Manager Store Listing "please log in with the Guest profile" should be changed accordingly.

    Anonymous profile (that does not require a log in or register) - no credentials are required, and fields can be left blank.

    Please Note - some profiles are called "Guest" but are actually Anonymous profiles that logs the user straight into the app without entering a username and password. In this case, leave these fields blank.


    If credentials are provided, please ensure that they are valid, and the "Review Notes" field is also relevant given the credentials.

    App Review: Test Password

    This is the password that Apple can use to sign in to the app. Non-mandatory; 100 Characters Max

       

    Marketing URL

    A URL with marketing information about your app. This URL will be visible on the App Store. Non-mandatory; 255 Characters Max

    Changes made for the app store listings will only appear in the App Store when next the apps are submitted for review and update
