Summary: App review can be the most stressful stage of app development, but it doesn't have to be that way. Come have a friendly chat with the app review team to learn about what we're looking for in an app and how we aim to be a trusted developer resource rather than heartless gatekeepers.

After establishing the ground rules of app review, we'll walk through an example submission and give attendees plenty of time to ask questions.

How your session furthers the MozCamp Goals: Every app must be blessed by the app review team before being published on the Firefox Marketplace, so it's important that developers know what to expect.

Expected Outcome or Deliverable: Attendees will understand the app review criteria and how the review process works.

Desired Audience Type or Skill-set: App developers
