LovableWhat does the checker look for?
The checker opens your published app at a phone's size, reads what a reviewer would see, and scans the app's own code for screens the first page doesn't show, such as settings, checkout and chat. It then checks the rules that most often send a Lovable app back:

Why do Lovable apps get rejected?
Most first rejections aren't about the idea. They're about missing pieces the stores require of every app: a way to delete an account, a privacy policy, the right payment method, moderation for user content. A Lovable app is also a web app, and submitted as a website in a frame it risks a minimum functionality rejection under guideline 4.2.
Why Apple rejects Lovable apps under 4.2 covers that one in depth, and the launch checklist and costs lists everything else the stores ask for.
