A new addition to the fastlane family, precheck (https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/precheck) is a nifty utility that helps developers avoid having to deal with the pain of having their apps rejected by Apple during their submission reviews. Through an ever-adapting set of community-driven App Store rules, precheck checks app metadata and iTunes Connect app descriptions for blacklisted words, such as profanity, trademarks, or copyrighted keywords, giving developers a second pair of eyes prior to going through the gauntlet of the app review process.
By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to add precheck to your workflow to process through your app metadata and verify that there are no keywords that will break Apple's App Store compliance policies, including:
- Product bug mentions
- Profanity
- Broken URL links
- Placeholder text, future features mentioning
- Copyright date errors
- Customizable word list checking
