Will Apple reject my restaurant app if it is just my website inside an app?
Updated 15 October 2026
It may. Apple's rules say an app should offer features beyond "a repackaged website", and apps built from a template service are rejected unless the restaurant itself submits them.
- Apple's guideline 4.2 asks for features beyond a repackaged website.
- Apps that are mainly marketing material, web clippings or a collection of links should not be submitted.
- App-maker or template apps are rejected unless the restaurant submits the app itself.
- The guidelines were last updated on 8 June 2026.
