Greenlight is an open-source pre-submission compliance scanner for Apple App Store review that runs locally in under a second. It analyzes code, privacy manifests, binaries, and metadata against Apple’s guidelines to catch rejection risks early, with an optional runtime verification tier for flow-dependent checks.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Greenlight hooks into your Xcode CI/CD pipeline as a pre-submission step, scanning code, privacy manifests, and binaries against App Store guidelines before a single build reaches Apple's review queue.
- Because Greenlight runs locally in under a second, it adds no meaningful overhead to your pipeline and catches rejection risks at the same stage as linting or unit tests.
- Unlike waiting days for Apple to flag a missing privacy manifest or entitlement violation, Greenlight surfaces those issues at commit time so your team can fix them without breaking release schedules.
- Greenlight's optional runtime verification tier handles flow-dependent checks that static analysis misses, giving CI pipelines a second layer of compliance coverage without requiring a separate cloud service.
- As an open-source tool, Greenlight can be version-controlled alongside your Xcode project, audited by your security team, and customized to enforce internal App Store submission standards across every build.
