Sample questions

Mobile Distribution CiDifficulty 2
A team wants to avoid review cycles that add days to their release timeline. Which pre-submission check would most likely catch a common rejection cause early?
  • aConfirming the build was compiled with the latest available compiler version.
  • bVerifying that every requested permission has a working, reachable code path that uses it.
  • cMaking sure the app icon matches the exact pixel dimensions recommended.
  • dEnsuring release notes are translated into as many languages as possible.
Explanation:Reviewers commonly reject apps that request permissions without a functional, reachable use for them. Compiler version, icon sizing, and translation completeness are not typical rejection drivers.

A team submits a build and it's rejected because a login screen is unreachable without a test account, and the reviewer couldn't get past it. What should the team change to avoid this in future submissions?
  • aRemove the login screen entirely before every submission.
  • bReduce the number of screens beyond login.
  • cProvide a demo account so reviewers can get past the gate.
  • dAdd a note in the app description explaining the login requirement.
Explanation:Reviewers need an actual path into the app; a demo account or reviewer bypass solves the root cause. Removing the login screen or just adding a text note doesn't give the reviewer a working path.
Mobile Distribution CiDifficulty 2
A team rolls out a new version to 5% of users. Within hours, crash reports spike sharply compared to the previous version's baseline. What is the appropriate immediate action?
  • aHalt the rollout and roll back for the affected users.
  • bImmediately expand the rollout to 100% to gather more crash data faster.
  • cWait for the review team to reject the affected build.
  • dAsk users experiencing crashes to reinstall the app.
Explanation:A sharp crash spike relative to baseline is exactly the signal a staged rollout is designed to catch early, before it reaches more users; halting/rolling back limits blast radius. Expanding further increases harm, and review rejection or reinstall requests don't address the regression.

A rollout configuration is set as follows:
release:
  version: 4.2.0
  rollout_percentage: 10
  halt_on_crash_rate_increase: true

If the app has 200,000 active users, approximately how many would be receiving version 4.2.0 while the rollout sits at this stage?
  • aAbout 2,000 users.
  • bAbout 20,000 users.
  • cAbout 180,000 users.
  • dAll 200,000 users, since rollout percentage only affects update visibility timing, not the total.
Explanation:10% of 200,000 is 20,000. Rollout percentage directly controls what fraction of the population receives the new version at that stage, not just visibility timing.
Mobile Distribution CiDifficulty 2
Shortly after release, a team discovers a bug in a newly launched feature that is causing user complaints. The feature was shipped behind a feature flag. What is the fastest safe way to mitigate the issue without submitting a new build?
  • aSubmit an emergency new version to the store and wait for expedited review.
  • bAsk users to update their OS to resolve the issue.
  • cRemove the feature's code in the next scheduled release cycle.
  • dTurn off the feature flag remotely to disable the feature for users.
Explanation:Since the feature is gated by a flag already shipped in the current build, flipping the remote flag off is immediate and doesn't require any new submission. Submitting a new build still requires review time, and the other options don't address the bug quickly.
Mobile Distribution CiDifficulty 2
A team's release pipeline fails at the signing step with an error about an expired signing certificate. What is the most direct consequence of this failure?
  • aThe app will publish normally but show a warning banner to users.
  • bIt can't be published or trusted without a valid signing certificate.
  • cThe app will be published with reduced performance.
  • dThe store review process will be skipped automatically.
Explanation:An expired signing certificate blocks publishing/installation as a trusted build entirely — it's a hard gate, not a cosmetic warning, performance issue, or a way to skip review.
