Guideline 1.2 - Safety: User-Generated Content Missing Required Features

Apple is rejecting your app because it includes user-generated content (UGC) or social networking features but is missing one or more of the four required safety features. This is one of the single most common App Store rejections. Apple requires ALL four of the following for any app with UGC: 1. A method for filtering objectionable material from being posted 2. A mechanism to report offensive content and timely responses to concerns 3. The ability to block abusive users from the service 4. Published contact information so users can easily reach you This rejection catches many developers because any form of user interaction counts as UGC — comments, reviews, photo uploads, profile bios, chat messages, forum posts, or even custom usernames. If users can post anything that other users can see, you need all four features. The rejection is usually straightforward and not a judgment call — Apple is checking a literal checklist. If any one item is missing, you'll be rejected. The fix is mechanical: implement the missing feature(s) and resubmit.
