No "beta," "test," "preview," or pre-release language visible in the production build

Apple guideline 2.1 requires that submitted apps be complete and production-ready — 'Beta Features' tab labels, '0.9.x' version numbers, and visible debug overlays signal to reviewers that the app is not ready for the store. This is one of the most mechanical rejection causes: automated pre-review scanning flags 0.x version numbers and common pre-release strings before a human reviewer sees the app. The allowFontScaling={false} anti-pattern from AI code generation frequently co-occurs with beta labels for the same reason: the AI scaffolds placeholder-quality code that ships to review without cleanup.

Update the app version to 1.0.0 or higher in app.json before first submission:

// app.json
{
  "expo": {
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "ios": { "buildNumber": "1" },
    "android": { "versionCode": 1 }
  }
}

Search for pre-release labels: grep -r '"Beta"\|"Alpha"\|"Preview"\|"Staging"' src/ --include="*.tsx". Gate all debug components behind __DEV__:

// Correct — invisible in release builds
{__DEV__ && <DebugPanel />}

Flutter: set debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false in MaterialApp. Remove any tab, navigation label, or screen title that contains 'Beta', '(Beta)', or 'Preview' — these strings are visible to reviewers and trigger rejection.
