實際使用中有幾個需要注意的地方：
1) 選擇本地化語言那裡，我建議是至少要保留English，因為有時候英文原文的意思才準确，本地化之後的語意會有點問題；
2) 版本釋出那裡，一定要選擇手動釋出此版本，不然稽核一旦通過就自動上架了；
3) Pricing選項中，注意選擇要發行的國家，主要是為了避免壞帳和黑卡等問題；
4) 如果用到了IDFA，注意要在稽核的時候很明顯的區域放置定向廣告(頂部放一張圖檔，點選後可跳到一個正常的網址即可)，同時在送出的備注中寫明
The banner at the top of the game view is an advertising links.
遊戲頂部的banner是一個廣告連結
5) 新版本送出需要一個關于隐私聲明的網址，在應用内需要放置一個按鈕，可點選檢視，是時送出頁輸入框也需要填寫該網址；
6) 備注一定要寫清楚account info，比如登入的使用者各及密碼，給的帳号在應用中體驗時不要遇到有什麼難度的操作，不然也容易被打回；
7) 稽核過程中，應用内不要出現什麼兌換碼之類的東西，蘋果會認為你可能私下要搞什麼充值，比如你們私下通過paypal交易，獲得一個碼而這個碼可以獲得相應的物品，這樣蘋果就會損失那件商品的30%收入；
8) 如果遊戲提供試玩功能，那試玩功能不要進行什麼限制，比如不綁定帳号不給充值這種或者試玩最高隻能升到多少級；
9) 上傳的截圖，最好跟遊戲内的界面有關，不然也容易被拒(當然也需要看運氣了)；
10) 商品的選擇一定要注意，是消耗型(Consumable)還是非消耗型(Non Consumable)的；
