Not a mark against Lovable — it is a statement about one question it never set out to answer. Lovable’s own FAQ says it builds web applications and does not generate React Native. Reaching the App Store therefore means wrapping the web app with something like Capacitor, and a wrapped web app is precisely the shape guideline 4.2 was written to filter. If the app also sells subscriptions through Stripe, guideline 3.1.1 lands on top of that. If you want an iOS binary, start somewhere else.
One claim, read off a document that says it.
A repackaged website is the exact case guideline 4.2 is written against.
"Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or "app-like," it doesn't belong on the App Store."
One claim, read off a document that says it.
Reaching the App Store requires a third-party wrapper such as Capacitor, or shipping as a PWA instead.
