Hello,
Thank you for the clarification, and we appreciate the time and guidance.
We understand from the documentation that when submitting subscriptions for the first time, they must be submitted together with a new app version and must be in “Ready to Submit” status before doing so.
However, we appear to be encountering a repeat issue related to the submission flow in App Store Connect.
On our app version page, the “Select In-App Purchases or Subscriptions” / “Add In-App Purchases” control referenced in the documentation is not available, so we are unable to attach the subscriptions to the version in the way described.
From what we can see in our App Store Connect interface, the UI appears to follow the newer submission flow, where subscriptions are configured on their own product pages and are automatically bundled with the app submission. Because of this, there is no option on the version page to manually add or select subscriptions.
This has resulted in a repeated loop where the app build is submitted for review, but the system still appears to expect the subscriptions to be attached through the older version-page workflow, which is not available in our interface.
We have already thoroughly reviewed the subscription configuration in App Store Connect and confirmed that the products exist and are fully configured.
Could you please clarify how first-time subscriptions should be attached to a new app version when the “Select In-App Purchases or Subscriptions” option is not present on the version page, and confirm whether the current submission flow automatically associates these subscriptions with the app build for review?
