Select your app.
Fill the information on this first page. When in doubt, click the question mark next to the input field for an explanation.
We generated this app description as an inspiration for you. Of course double-check that it is accurate and makes sense before using it.
If your website has an account system, you need to provide a test account to the app reviewers. The test account should be a regular user account of your website/app, it doesn't need to have special admin permissions.
For the contact information, please either input my information or consult with me before answering their questions (if they call you, say you need to clarify with your developer). This way we can avoid common mistakes and speed up the review process.

Make sure you keep the App Store Guidelines in mind while filling out the information below.
Click 'App Information'
Enter a subtitle. It will be shown below your app name in the App Store.
Select the app category that suits your app best. You can optionally enter a secondary category if you find another one that is suitable.
Configure the content rights information based on whether your website uses content that requires special rights to use. Most apps can select "No, it does not contain, show, or access third-party content".
Configure the age rating for your app. When asked whether your app contains unrestricted internet access, pick "No, this app does not include unrestricted internet access.".
Don't tick the "Made for Kids" checkbox. Kids and teenagers will be able to download your app anyways as long as they are above the minimum age.
The only benefit of the "Made for Kids" program is that your app gets listed in that category. However, you have to comply with extremely strict guidelines:

Click 'Pricing and Availability'
Select a price for your app.
Select where you want your app to be available.
Remember to save your entered information.
Go to 'App Privacy'
Click "Edit".
In the "Privacy Policy URL" field, enter the link to the privacy policy of your website.
Alternatively, you can link to this privacy policy that we generated for your app: https://webtoapp.design/apps/privacy_policy/Couldn't%20serialize%20app_id,%20probably%20undefined
Start the questionnaire and click 'Yes, we collect data from this app'
Select any data you collect from your website users. Also select "Crash Data". When asked to further specify how crash data is used, select "App Functionality", "not linked to the user's identity" and "No, we do not use crash data for tracking purposes".
In general, always answer that you don't use the collected information for tracking purposes.
Apple's definition of tracking is that you use the information to track users across other companies' websites and apps, which usually only applies to advertising companies like Google and Facebook.
If you were to answer "Yes" to the question if you track your users, Apple would require that the app asks for the tracking permission. This permission is meant to be used to get access to the user's advertising identifier. The app does not need the advertising identifier though, so it makes no sense to ask for it.
Depending on your selection you might also have to fill in some information below:

Hi, I'm Jan! I created webtoapp.design in 2019 while studying computer science in university. A lot has changed since then - not only have I graduated, but it's also no longer just me running webtoapp.design. We've grown to a global, fully remote team and have gathered lots of experience around app development and app publishing. We've created and published hundreds of apps in the app stores, where they've been downloaded millions of times.
