Common Mistakes to Avoid

Android UI Elements

Never include Android navigation or status bars in iOS screenshots

TestFlight UI

Remove any TestFlight-specific elements like the back button

Promotional Text

Avoid "50% off", "#1 app", "Download now" - Apple will reject these

Fake Device Frames

Use official device frames or none at all - fake mockups can lead to rejection

URLs and Contact Info

No email addresses, phone numbers, or website URLs in screenshots

Obscured UI

Marketing text should highlight your app, not hide it - Apple wants to see real UI

Best Practices

Show real app UI - Use actual screenshots from your app, not mockups or renders
Use Xcode Simulator - Capture screenshots using Cmd+S in the iOS Simulator for perfect dimensions
Highlight key features - Use the first 3 screenshots to show your app's main value proposition
Localize text - Translate screenshot text for each language you support
Keep text readable - Use large, legible fonts that are easy to read on all device sizes
Update regularly - Keep screenshots current with your app's latest design and features
