Title:

App Store Review Guidelines should use different language when discouraging unqualified submissions to the app store

Description:

The current App Store Review Guidelines has language that is needlessly dismissive and pretentious.

"If your app looks like it was cobbled together in a few days, or you're trying to get your first practice app into the store to impress your friends, please brace yourself for rejection. We have lots of serious developers who don't want their quality apps to be surrounded by amateur hour."

This seems out of character and does not match the style anywhere else in your branding. You can get this same message across without the unneeded sass.

Something like this would be a much needed improvement,

"We take the quality of applications in the app store very seriously. If it's clear to us that you neglected to put in the appropriate time and care into building your app, there's a good chance it will be rejected."

This is a duplicate of #30832997.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/
  2. Search for "cobbled together", "amateur hour", or "impress your friends"
