Need to provide a phone number to Apple review to login into the App

Hi guys,

I am a little lost right now.

We are launching a dating app.

The users need their phone number to create an account, we will send them an OTP.


How do I give the Apple reviewers access to that?

Do I just go to a shop and get a SIM card? But what's with the OTP?

It will be send to this number and not to theirs.


Is there a service for that? Or any help at all? :-)


Thanks

Usually every user has their own phone number that they will use.

But I need to provide one to Apple so that they can check my app.


That is the same as your trusted phone number.

Then you need to -> Sign in to your Apple ID account page and edit / update your Apple ID details.

See -> Automatically fill in SMS passcodes on iPhone

Yes, you need to have a SIM card, look for / visit a carrier, take a subscription, postpaid or prepaid card.

Check whether the SIM card is suitable for your iPhone.

Thanks a lot for your reply :-)


But how do the people from Apple, that view my app, get to login in my app?


They are creating an account (like the users would do if the app gets approved)

Usually every user has their own phone number that they will use.

But I need to provide one to Apple so that they can check my app.


See screenshot (sorry its in German)
