Apple's Apple Developer Program rejected 105 million apps suspected of fraudulent activity, protecting users from nearly 57,000 untrusted apps from non-compliant stores.

The team reviews an average of more than 100,000 App submissions per week, and nearly 90% are reviewed within 24 hours of submission.

App Review reviewed more than 6.1 million App submissions in 2022, helped more than 185,000 developers launch their apps on the App Store for the first time, and conducted more than 20,000 phone calls with developers to help them identify and resolve issues that led to rejected App submissions.
