What do you find if you ask a search engine about 'Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 5, Trace/BPT trap: 5'?

Hmm... I have reported the same issue here. But I guess they have decided not to do anything with it although I spent some 15 minutes figuring out the correct thread URL.

My competitors in this space do not use this method and mine is seriously impressive and can be very beneficial to the user. What are the competitors against your app? What are the keywords you are using? Pardon me for my saying, but it seems to me that your app is DOA when you already know who your competitors are. If you share four out of five major features with those competitors, does it really make your app exceptional? Let me suppose that I've created a dating app. Let me also suppose that there is a very popular dating app titled 'My Heart with Your heart.' I would definitely avoid including 'My Heart with Your heart' in the app keyword. Or my app would be DOA.

I have had no response to my follow-up emails, and the "Contact Us" forms haven't resulted in any updates. You probably won't get a reply because a lot of people abuse the system these days, contacting them several times, filing an expedite review, filing an appeal. Some people just don't want to wait for their turn. Somebody has even said that he or she had one app submission rejected 40 times. The app has been on the App Store for over 4 years and has been featured as "App of the Day" on three separate occasions. We have always maintained a good standing Why is that relevant to your software update being reviewed?

I would read App Review Guidelines to see if your project meet them, especially, 2.4.5, to begin with if I were you.

Where and how do you call NSAlert?

That's because you are not selecting the right country to access the App Store?

We contacted Apple Support multiple times through email and phone, but we did not receive any response. Today we tried re-submitting a new version hoping it will trigger a system reset and fix the issue. The submission for iOS was approved very fast by App Review, but it is again stuck "In Review". Pardon me for my saying it, but it seems to me that there is something common among those people who have been waiting for days, if not weeks or months, for their turn. They contact the company multiple times just over a single submission. They voluntarily reject the app and go back to the end of the queue in order to resubmit it. They also request an expedite review. Somebody wrote two weeks ago that he or she had their software submission rejected 40 times. That's why the apple company has been lately overwhelmed by the bulk of support requests. I seldom contact the apple company. I never bother to call them up. I have never submitted an expedited request in 15 years. I just sit and wait quietly for my turn. Is that why I had my latest iOS app reviewed and approved in a matter of a day or two? I don't think I have ever been turned down more than 5 times over a single submission.

The likely issue is that this is an iPhone app, and specifically not for iPad.. Yet the reviewer used an iPad to test! They have been known to use a tablet to run an iPhone-only app for a decade. And why is that a problem if they run it with a larger-screen device? He/she has not looked very far, they are in the app settings tab, and that was noted in the app submission. It doesn't sound like a good idea to bury store-access under this sheet or that sheet.

And the review team keeps picking up the submission and rejecting it again for the same 3.2 issue, as if the unlisted request doesn't exist. I don't quite understand your situation. If you don't want them to review it, why do you keep submitting it in the first place? If you have some information for them to read, you should use notes and attachment under the App Review Information section. No phone call. No reply to my support case. There's nothing new if you read other threads.

@BigBalli Thanks, BigBalli. It's not about the product identifier because an old Mac App Store application that has been available also fails in the same manner. Also, it's not about the configuration, because, I created a new one, but an old Mac App Store application still manages to fail in the same manner. The current situation is a total mess. I guess I should not have installed Xcode 26. Now, I cannot even sign in and out of an iCloud account so easily. The System keeps running a progress wheel for an hour. I'm bending towards buying a new Mac mini. I'm waiting for a new model with M5.

Thank you, App Store Commerce Engineer. I'm not ready to update my macOS to 26 for now. Well, I have to sleep on it.

Has anyone else faced a similar issue recently? Could this be related to account-level restrictions or any recent policy updates? I had a couple of software titles that were 'Removed from Sale' subsequently after they were 'Ready for Distribution' back in March 5th. I reported this issue here. I also contacted Apple Support, requesting them to find out how it happened. But there has been no explanation except that somebody wrote back and said that they were overwhelmed by a bulk of support requests. I think the support lady had said she would have somebody contact me. But I haven't heard from anyone since. I suppose people at Apple, Inc. are overwhelmed by AI-driven people who have little or no knowledge of software development and continue to refute review rejection a few dozen times. So I just sit and wait till the storm is gone.

However, my app has unique mechanical features that do not exist on any other dating app on the App Store How do you know that? You have downloaded and tested every single dating app? The App Review Board also upheld the rejection (Appeal Ticket APL411770). You have reached the end of the rope. So you should accept a defeat and move on to a next project. One option you have is to buy out an existing iOS app and install additional features in it. If I were you, I would choose to stop the bleeding instead of pouring more time and resources in the losing battle.

I can see your frustration except that I have received 9+ rejections I have never had a single software title rejected that many times although I have had about 300 titles listed at App Store and Mac App Store in the past 15 years + 1.5 months. Detailed technical responses in Resolution Center — ignored Two App Review Board appeals — no meaningful response Contact Us support requests — automated replies Provided ROM files, video walkthroughs, and thorough App Review Notes — none of it acknowledged Reading your topic, I have a hard time understanding who is doing what to whom. An English sentence strictly requires the subject. Omitting it makes it an imperative form for making a command to get somebody to do something. If that's how you respond to your reviewers, you are also responsible for causing repeated rounds of rejection. Every single rejection message is word-for-word identical — the same copy-pasted text, every time. None of my detailed technical responses have ever been acknowledged or addressed. What do you expect? You only pay a $99 membership fee. You could get a more meaning response if you paid $999. But not many people would sign up with that high fee. You should not get them into your head. I have abandoned at least one software title after rejection. There may be another one or two. You should draw a line as to whether to continue for just a single software title or find a better meaning for your life. I almost went crazy 15 years ago and quit and switch to Windows but decided to come back one year later. You may want to look around and read other topics. They frequently mention something about directly addressing an issue to a reviewer on a weekly basis, which never existed 15 years ago.
