“Apple rejected it like a million times because they don't really want you to give it medical advice and a lot of the features came off as that So once we worked around it and found out how other kind of similar apps were doing it we found you know the good spot where Apple was happy and they approved it”
Reframe medical-adjacent features to copy approved competitor language
If your app is in any health-adjacent space (peptides, supplements, dosing, fitness recovery), expect serial Apple rejections for "medical advice." Don't guess at fixes — load approved competitor apps in the App Store, copy their exact disclaimer language, feature naming ("tracking" / "research library" instead of "advice" / "recommendation"), and re-submit using that vocabulary. The line Apple draws is mostly about phrasing, not function.
