Check for Errors
Most of the apps entering the Apple App Store are immediately rejected because they are found to have some technical glitch or the other. It could even boil down to sheer carelessness on the part of the developer, entry of a faulty version number and so on.

Remember that the initial app approval process is what takes the most time. Once approved, future updates are far easier to get done. So keep the advanced features for later releases of your app.

It is, however, not sensible to make it too simple. Do not present a “test” or “beta” version of your app, as it will most likely be rejected at first glance.

Play by the Rules
Apple has a set of well-defined, very stringent rules. Though some of them may sound downright crazy to you, be careful to follow the rules to the ‘T’.

Nothing that sounds in any way, “violent”, will be acceptable by Apple. So name your app in such a way that it sounds appealing, without appearing to be “damaging” or “offensive”.
Read Previous Case-Histories
Learn about other Apple developers’ experiences, ask around and find out just what it takes to get your app approved in the Apple App Store.

Adopt a novel angle to your app, make it usable and engaging to the user. If you cannot make your app appear extraordinary, chances are that it will not pass the App Store approval process.

Be Polite
Know that the App Store deals with a large number of app submissions on an everyday basis. The least you can do is to be polite with them, be specific about your goals and clearly state the purpose of your app. Politeness scores about all else and gives off an air of class and professionalism.
