We are trying to distribute an app for our digital ministry. It is a religious Bible app. We offer our app 100% free of charge, however, we do accept voluntary donations. These donations do not result in any sort of in-app content incentives for the user, they strictly go to supporting our ministry. However, every time we explain this to the App Review Team, this is their response: Tips or donations may be optional, if they are connected to or associated with receiving digital content, they must use in-app purchase in accordance with guideline 3.1.1 To resolve this issue, please revise your app to use in-app purchase to pay for this type of transaction or remove these transactions from your app. We am stuck, because we do not know what to do. We want to keep the donation in the app, however, using In-App purchases tarnishes the image of 100% free.

I am trying to submit a new build to App Store Connect and I keep getting this error. I do not understand why I am getting this error. I signed a new agreement in developer.apple.com/account earlier today and ever since I have been unable to submit new builds. I have tried reinstalling Xcode, clean build folder, removed my developer account and resigned in, etc. I know this is not an issue with my client, but I still tried. Would like some insights on why this is happening. Thanks Error Log: 2024-01-07 18:11:18.611 DEBUG: [ContentDelivery.Uploader] Error Domain=ContentDelivery Code=403 "You do not have required contracts to perform an operation" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=You do not have required contracts to perform an operation.

I am trying to build an app with a normal white background, black text, etc. I am running it on a simulator, and everything is fine. I tried running it on my device, it worked for about a second and then crashed. I ran it again, and ever since it caused the background of the app to be black, the text to be white, and ultimately not at all what I coded. I don't understand what is going on as I updated Xcode, updated my IOS version, restarted my phone, and nothing works. Also, I tried running some apps I created earlier and they are now following the same issue I am experiencing with this. The screen is black, the text is different colors. Super frustrating
