Reply to Region-by-region App Store payment compliance: when is Apple IAP required vs external payments like Stripe?
I appreciate the response. Interesting. In the meantime I sent a support message trying to anticipate the issue if any. Will see. if push comes to shove meaning, then IAP it is I guess. Its just that it does not offer possibilities as I wished (referral and differentiated % reductions the more you make referrals etc). IAP is very rigid from my understanding.

Hello Etresoft, it's a one person team. Me. The forum has many sections, this one is called: "App Store Distribution & Marketing" you would think I would ask about apps and their distribution instead of just pure code? Of course I realize that you probably don't have corporate legal and financial support. Are you sure you want to try to figure this out on your own? Or worse, rely on advice from the internet? Is this an attempt to send people to that? I don't have the money for it unfortunately.

Reply to Submitting an app and waiting time, what is the timeline for app reviewers? And other questions
@Etresoft I am 100% I resolved the issues mentioned during the last review (Adding Apple Sign in method + letting access to the app content before requiring users to login/register), so I am 99% sure the app will pass. The only problem is that : when responding to the review process, I did not have a new build, so I could not do "respond (by adding screenshots) + submit again" when I added my new build, it went straight as a submitted item (without me able to add explanations of what was changed, although it is implied that the issues mentioned were addressed), I just sent a new build and was locked out of the "item draft screenshot" I showed earlier (The only option on that draft submission page was "cancel the submission" of course, but I did not want to cancel submission of my new build). And now look at this image, the app show at the same time as : "Waiting for Review" and: "In Review" Does that happen usually? It's been 8H30 since it's in "review" The first time it was in review, it was reviewed within 32 minutes!

If an app shows with this: https://imgur.com/31rdIAj (see screenshot) it means i have nothing else to do, only wait right? And it will be reviewed (my new build), despite no screenshot was added in the draft submission? Btw the draft submission shows this: https://imgur.com/kvldqvb the submit is grayed out, its because I already sent a build. So without any item , it will still be accepteds right? Thanks

Reply to Need guidance for creating the xcprivacy file WITHOUT A MAC when coding on flutter, especially when third party sdks are there.
Hello, I see, so If I am using CD/CI solutions, I would not have to worry about it? I simply ned to create the file manually (since I dont have manual control over cloud xcode) and it will automatically solve it even if there are many SDKs out there? Are you sure? Can you check one of your .ipa projects and unzip it to see what do the privacy look like? (the project must contain multiple SDKs or even only one (example firebase, or crachlytics etc), and see if Xcode changed your basic example and .. integrated into it the sdk privacy individual manifests, , and if yes, how. Thanks

Reply to Are these features possible to make in an iOS app?
Thank you for the answer, interesting and good to know. This makes iOS a bit more secured than Android I see.

Reply to Very technical question about the 'project.pbxproj' file. Targeted devices?
Thanks for the link and confirmation. The tab you mention is the one we see inside Xcode right? There is no other way to find that tab you are mentioning right? (Other than xcode?)

Reply to Unlocking hidden "Developer mode" option on Ipad (without Mac or Xcode)
Hello sorry but is this a bot? Did you read my post? I am asking for ways to unlock the developer mode WITHOUT xcode. The link you shared (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/enabling-developer-mode-on-a-device/) specifically mentions using Xcode!
