Good morning beautiful Hive Community Members from Bharat 🇮🇳☀️
Today I’m super excited to share a massive milestone in our development journey — and yes, this one was earned the hard way 😅💪
As many of you know, in my previous posts I talked about integrating Capacitor JS to enable Android & iOS builds for our beloved HiveFestLeaks application. That decision changed everything!
📱 Android App – Already Live on Google Play! ✅
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hivefestleaks.app
We successfully shipped the Android app and it got approved on Google Play Store 🎉
That itself was a big milestone for us as Hive developers stepping into the Web2 ecosystem while being proud Web3 builders!
But wait… the real rollercoaster was just getting started… 🍿
🍎 Apple App Store Journey – 4 Rejections Later… 😅
Let me tell you — Apple’s path was NOT straightforward.
We faced FOUR different rejections 😮💨 Each time with a different reason:
1️⃣ No Sign Up Option
Apple asked:
“How do users sign up?”
We added a proper Sign Up button & flow. ✅
2️⃣ User Generated Content Policy
They flagged it as UGC and required:
- Content reporting
- Flagging mechanism
We implemented content flagging system. ✅
3️⃣ Admin Credentials Required
Apple wanted:
- Admin login
- Admin moderation explanation
We provided admin credentials and clarified backend moderation flow. ✅
4️⃣ Payment & In-App Purchase Drama 💰
Because users could pay to unlock HiveFest memories, Apple said:
If payment is involved, you should implement Apple In-App Purchase.
Now… as Web3 builders, we really didn’t want to enter that ecosystem. So what did we do?
💡 We made iOS unlocks completely FREE.
Yes! iOS users can now unlock HiveFest memories without paying anything.
Problem solved. 😎
We resubmitted… and finally…
🎉 APPROVED! HiveFestLeaks is now LIVE on Apple App Store!

This is a proud moment for all of us in the Hive Community.
Being Web3 native and still managing to establish presence in Web2 app stores is NOT easy. But we did it. Together. ❤️
