You get lost when you try what ? If that may be useful, my advice is to get focused. You have learned the basics (of Swift, SwiftUI, Xcode…). Even if you are not yet an expert, that is good enough for second step. Focus: Imagine a simple app that you would be pleased to use for yourself (think of some pain points you have in your daily life that an app could help solve). Then go and develop the app. Going through all the development steps will let you put in practice what you have learned and then better understand how all this works. For sure you will face issues you cannot manage: ask for help on the forum. Once you app is completed, you will see you have learned a lot. And be ready to think of an app for the AppStore. Good luck.

Which business model? This app is free. :-) There can be a business model even if everything is free for end user. For instance, you could sell navigation information. I understand that's what the reviewer wants to checks (for whatever reason). So the best is to simply answer to questions.   how I can submit apps that get approved immediately. No way for immediately. But there is an option to request expedited review on certain circumstances. Expedited reviews You can request the review of your app to be expedited if you face extenuating circumstances, such as fixing a critical bug in your app or releasing your app to coincide with an event you’re directly associated with. Critical bug fix. When submitting an expedited review to fix a critical bug, include the steps to reproduce the bug on the current version of your app. Event-related app. For apps associated with an event, we recommend you plan and schedule the release of your app in App Store Connect. However, if your app is still in review and the launch of your event is quickly approaching, you can request to have your app review expedited. Make sure your request includes the event, date of the event, and your app’s association with the event. https://developer.apple.com/distribute/app-review/#:~:text=Submit%20an%20appeal-,Expedited%20reviews,Critical%20bug%20fix.

As Scott said, plus: there are always some bug fixes needed. Take profit of this minor release.

I filed a bug report: Nov 30, 2025 at 8:10 PM – FB21214592

That's a good approach to start with. Wish you success.

IMHO, there are several cases where this single step action can be problematic: airdrop phone call when hitting a recent call in the list by error Apple has introduced an option in mail to allow cancelling the sending during a certain period of time. Why not do the same in those other cases, where action may involve undesired third party ?

Welcome to the forum. We are never good enough (always something we don't know or don't master). Clearly, if your intent is to compete with Open AI or similar, that's certainly out of reach. But there are many examples of success stories, even when the field appeared crowded and controlled by a few major. If you are the developer, it's clear you need good technical competencies about iOS development, but if you keep your app simple at start, you don't need to be a technical genius. In your case, I could see a few success factors (take it for what it's worth): the quality and originality of your app (game or other): that's the hardest part. But don't try to mimic and compete with an existing blockbuster keep focused on a strong value proposition: you have to understand why your app will be uniquely appealing to users (even if it is a limited population, that's enough to start with). This means that the app may be simple, not requiring extraordinary technical skills, as long as it delivers a unique value proposition spend time to fine tune your marketing plan. Good luck.

It seems it's gone for good (in fact for bad). You should file a bug report for this missing feature.

Welcome to the forum. Did you have a problem posting ? If not, please avoid duplicating (even more triplicating your posts). That just pollute the forum uselessly.

Is there a typical timeline for apps currently showing “Waiting for Review”? Usually, within a few hours to a day. But there may be cases of extended check. For instance, there are several guidelines for crypto. 3.1.5 Cryptocurrencies: Did you check them all ?

Here is a sample (in French, but easy to translate).

Your question is far too imprecise. Please read this to learn how to formulate a meaningful post on the forum: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/706527

Guideline 5.2.5 Apple Products: states: Don’t create an app that appears confusingly similar to an existing Apple product, interface (e.g. Finder), app (such as the App Store, iTunes Store, or Messages) or advertising theme. Apps and extensions, including third-party keyboards and Sticker packs, may not include Apple emoji. Even more precisely, in Guidelines for Using Apple Trademarks and Copyrights (https://www.apple.com/fr/legal/intellectual-property/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html): Use of the keyboard Apple Logo (Option-Shift-K) for commercial purposes without the prior written consent of Apple may constitute trademark infringement   2. Apple Logo and Apple-owned Graphic Symbols: You may not use the Apple Logo or any other Apple-owned graphic symbol, logo, or icon on or in connection with web sites, products, packaging, manuals, promotional/advertising materials, or for any other purpose except pursuant to an express written trademark license from Apple, such as a reseller agreement. So I should avoid using the Apple logo.

You paid someone to get a domain name. Could you send a copy of the bill, plus, as Tomato said, a copy of the relevant ID ?

You should reply to reviewer with this explanation. But, can't you delete this active subscription in your back office ?
