Explanation of App Review Following Successful Appeal under Clause 5.6
Dear App Review Team, First, I must admit my mistake and sincerely apologize for wasting your time. After my app was previously rejected under Guideline 5.6, I filed an appeal, which was subsequently approved. You instructed me to submit a new binary for review. Due to an error on my part, I submitted a new version and removed the previous submission record; consequently, the new submission was not linked to the ID associated with the approved appeal. I am writing today to provide the ID for my new submission: 0760b84f-00b6-4c77-a1a3-ab9040143c06 The submission ID associated with the approved appeal was: fb5b0474-3ed0-4a38-82c8-3e7553743d1f My App Apple ID : 6764726742

Guideline 5.6 Rejection with NO Screenshots or Crash Logs – How to Diagnose?
Hi everyone,  I'm a relatively new developer and I just received my first App Store rejection. I'm posting here because I'm genuinely stuck and hoping the community can help me figure out where to even begin.  The Problem:  My app was rejected under Guideline 5.6 - Developer Code of Conduct - Review Suspended. The full message is the standard one: the app doesn't meet the "required quality standard," it's "not eligible for resubmission," and I should "ensure every screen, interaction, and piece of content has been thoughtfully designed" before submitting a new app.  Here's why I'm confused:  The rejection came with ZERO attachments. No screenshots. No screen recordings. No crash logs. No specific mention of a buggy feature, a broken button, or an unfinished screen. It's just a blanket statement about "quality" and "polish."  in my case, there's absolutely nothing to go on.  What I've checked so far:  I've tested the app on multiple physical devices (iPhone 12, 14, 15) – no crashes. I've reviewed every screen for placeholder text, "Lorem Ipsum," or dummy images – none found. I've checked the In-App Purchase / subscription screen for proper legal disclaimers and auto-renewal text – all present. I've made sure there are no debug logs or test toggles left in the production build. Everything looks fine to me, which is why I'm so lost. Without specific feedback, I don't know if the issue is:  A UI inconsistency I'm blind to? A subtle crash that only happens on a device I don't own? An issue with the paywall flow that I've misunderstood? Something about the metadata, screenshots, or app description? My questions for the community:  Has anyone else received a Guideline 5.6 rejection with no attachments? Is this common, or does it suggest the reviewer flagged the app as "low-quality" purely based on first impressions (like the design feels outdated or the concept is too simple)? Since the message says replies and resubmissions of this binary won't be reviewed, and I can't get clarification from the reviewer, what's the safest way to proceed? Should I:  Create a completely new App ID and submit as a new app? Or can I submit a new version under the same App ID? (I've heard mixed answers on this.) More importantly – how do I figure out what to fix? Without a starting point, I'm worried I'll fix the wrong things and get rejected again, which I know can lead to account termination after repeated violations. Are there any "hidden" quality checks that reviewers apply that aren't obvious to developers? For example, does Apple penalize apps that:  Have a generic icon or unpolished splash screen? Take too long to load on first launch? Have unclear navigation or confusing user flow? Lack a proper onboarding/tutorial for first-time users?   Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I really want to get this right and not waste my one or two remaining chances. my app id : 6764726742

App stuck in "Waiting for Review" for one week
Hello Apple Staff, Thank you for your previous reply. After my initial post, I understood that my app would enter the review process shortly. However, another three days have passed, and the status of my app remains “Waiting for Review.” I am becoming increasingly concerned about whether my app has successfully entered the review queue. Prior to this, I have already tried the following support channels without success: Contacting Apple support by phone Reaching out via email Requesting an expedited review Posting on developer forums I fully understand that app review times may vary, and I truly respect the work of the App Review team. However, this situation is becoming more serious for us. This submission is critical for our users, and the ongoing delay is having a significant impact on our operations and business. App Details: App ID: 6764726742 Submit time: 2026-06-01 Submission ID: 187011d0-1390-4abe-9252-f13410307c31 Current Status: Waiting for Review I would greatly appreciate it if Apple could kindly verify the following: Whether the current submission is properly queued for App Review Whether there is any internal processing or queuing issue preventing the review from starting Whether any action is required from my side that is not visible in App Store Connect If possible, could an Apple staff member please escalate this case to the App Review team, or at least confirm that the submission is correctly queued? I would be extremely grateful for any help or clarification. We feel stuck because we have tried every available support channel, yet the app remains in “Waiting for Review” with no progress. Thank you very much for your time and support. Best regards, Leon

App stuck in “Waiting for Review”
Hello App Review Team, My app was first submitted (version 1.0.0) on May 6. Since then, I have submitted multiple bug-fix updates, but none of them have ever entered the actual review process – they have remained stuck in "Waiting for Review". My latest version is ready and currently waiting for your team to begin the review so it can be released on the App Store. App information: App ID: 6764726742 First submission date: May 6 Latest version waiting: 1.1.1 I would like to ask: Is there any account, agreement, or metadata issue preventing my app from entering the review queue? When can I expect the review to actually start? Our users and business have been waiting for the iOS version for a long time. Any clear guidance from your team would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and help.
