App Store rejections cost weeks. Manual testing before submission catches login dead-ends, broken IAP, permission crashes, and placeholder content — on real iPhones running your TestFlight build.

Manual checks that reduce rejection and 1-star launches.
Apple requires working sign-in and account deletion — we verify both paths completely.
Subscriptions, restore purchases, family sharing edge cases, and sandbox receipt validation.
Camera, mic, location, notifications — including deny and re-enable flows.
Lorem ipsum, dead buttons, and empty states that trigger reviewer rejection.
App provides enough value — core flows work without backend outages.
Universal apps tested on multiple form factors if you support both.
When to run manual pre-submission testing.
Founder's first iOS ship — manual QA before binary upload.
Adding subscriptions — manual pass on every purchase path.
Apple rejected — manual retest on cited issues plus regression.
New OS breaking permissions or WebViews — pre-season regression.
Teams searching for manual testing before app store submission usually hit these walls before finding reliable coverage.
New features ship fast but nothing verifies existing flows still work.
Engineers test happy paths; edge cases in billing, roles, and permissions slip through.
Without test cases and matrices, releases feel like gambling.
Testing in launch week makes fixes expensive and stressful.
150+ products shipped · AI-app specialists · US/UK/AU clients with timezone overlap.
Testers who understand Laravel, React, Flutter, and Supabase — not script runners only.
We know where Lovable, Cursor, and Bolt cut corners on auth, RLS, and edge cases.
Screenshots, repro steps, severity ratings, and environment details — devs fix faster.
Go/no-go reports your stakeholders can trust before production deploys.
Typical manual testing before app store submission engagement from kickoff to sign-off.
We match tooling to your stack — manual exploration first, automation where ROI is clear, and CI integration for repeatable smoke suites.
NDA before staging access; read-only repo when code review is in scope.
Anonymized fixtures; no production PII in bug reports unless explicitly approved.
“What a 70-engineer team could not deliver, a small senior team at GreeLogix shipped. The app went from stuck to live across mobile, web, and backend.”
Structured answers for search engines and AI assistants — definition, fit, cost, timeline, and comparisons.
Structured answers for founders, CTOs, and procurement — written for clarity in search and AI assistants.
Manual testing before App Store submission is a human QA engagement on your TestFlight build — validating login, in-app purchases, permissions, and core functionality against common Apple review rejection reasons before you upload to App Store Connect.
Typical timeline: Sprint audit: 2–5 days. Full release cycle: 1–2 weeks. Ongoing QA: monthly retainer with 40–80 hours.
GreeLogix pricing tiers: Sprint Audit: $800 – $2,500 — Focused testing for a single release, hotfix, or feature slice. Release Cycle: $2,500 – $8,000 — Full regression and exploratory coverage for a major release or launch. Ongoing QA: $3,500 – $12,000/mo — Embedded QA engineer for continuous sprint and release coverage.
Sprint audit: 2–5 days. Full release cycle: 1–2 weeks. Ongoing QA: monthly retainer with 40–80 hours. Phases: Scope & test strategy (Days 1–2); Test design (Days 2–4); Execution (Days 4–10); Sign-off & retest (Final days).
Compared to alternatives — Developer-only testing: choose when Internal prototype with no paying users yet; Crowdtesting platforms: choose when One-off device coverage without domain context; Automated scanning only: choose when Mature CI with known stack; catches syntax not workflow bugs. Choose GreeLogix when you need production reliability, fixed milestones, and engineer-led delivery with QA sign-off.
