Reply to Hello guys, is there any delay in February for app reviews?
What's the normal that you are referring to? I submitted 20 new software titles to the review last year. The average wait time was probably one and a half days or two to three at most. I had two new software titles that I submitted at the end of the year. I ended up waiting 4 or 5 days for a desktop application and another 2 or 3 days for its iOS counterpart. An average wait time was 17 to 19 days 15 years ago. So whatever the average time is now, I won't be terribly concerned.

Reply to Copyright infringement in an app distributed long-term via TestFlight
You may want to ask a search engine about 'iPhone app how to report copyright infringement claim to apple.' I reach the following URL at Apple, Inc. Meanwhile, I had a desktop application that worked with PDF files. And an Adobe representative contacted THE company telling them that my application's icon was similar to their. I never knew what their icon looked like because a search engine gave different versions. Anyway, I didn't want trouble. So I proceeded to remove the application from the store. After removing the application from the store, I told THE company that I had. The case was therefore closed.

Reply to Does Showing User's Current Location on the Map Require 'NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription'?
I've asked Gemini. It says the following. To answer your question directly: Yes, you absolutely need the Privacy keys in your Info.plist. Even though you are only using the user’s location to show a "blue dot" on the map, Apple considers the act of calling requestWhenInUseAuthorization() a request for "private" data. If that key is missing, your app will not only be rejected, it will likely crash the moment it executes that line of code on a real device.

おはようございます。それは残念ですね。  ここは英語が公用語なので、英語で問題を定義しないと、誰からも返事は届かないと思いますよ。  とりあえず日本のApple社に連絡をして相談した方がいいでしょうね。まずはContact Us で連絡をしてみたらどうでしょうか?  きっと最初からやり方が間違っていたのではないでしょうか?依頼主に頼まれてアプリを開発する時は、まず依頼主に開発者登録をしてもらうことから始まります。

Reply to App Review Rejection – Guideline 2.1: “Create PIN” Not Responsive on iPad (iPhone-Only App)
Clarification on “not responsive” Since all buttons respond correctly during our testing, I’d appreciate clarification on what App Review typically means by “not responsive” in this context: It could mean that they are tapping something that is even a button. I had a case about 6 months ago where they claimed that nothing happened when he or she tried to make a subscription purchase. This 'something' was not even a button or anything with the tap gesture. If I remember correctly, the same reviewer claimed that the user was not able to post a support request at our website when in fact it was just the matter of scrolling down a little further to find a text box and a button.

Reply to App Review cannot complete auto-renewable subscription purchase (Guideline 2.1) although sandbox & TestFlight work
App Review states they are unable to buy the in-app purchase Have you asked what they mean by 'unable to make a subscription purchase'? It could mean that the purchase sheet doesn't appear they don't see a button leading to the purchase sheet they don't see a list of products they tap something that is not even a button or something without a tap gesture I would make sure that I were on the same turf as theirs.

Reply to issue with my submission - 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality
What do you mean by every street will have a certain time when parking is forbidden ? So your app reminds you to move your car. It doesn't really matter where it's currently situated, right? If that's the case, its objective is basically to send a notification, and the use of 'the current GPS location' doesn't really play a role, does it? Or does it compare the last location with the current position and tell you how many yards it has been moved?

Reply to Can't find IAP/Subscriptions section for new build
I answered the same question several weeks ago. Once you submit your app to the review process, the IAP section will disappear until you click on the + button to submit a new software update to the review process.

Reply to Repeated App Rejections Due to Login Issues Despite Providing Detailed Instructions
I would make sure that everything is visible as intended under the last OS version. Also, you may want to test it with an actual iPad device since that's what they usually use. There was a case where the reviewer was not able to see toolbar buttons because they were shrunken into 2 x 2 dots under iOS 26.

Reply to Accept a Review Rejection Defeat or Play Along with Reviewer
In the end, I've decided to remove the blue dot on the map since the application doesn't necessarily need it. Therefore, the application doesn't need Location Services any more. I'm going to move on with my life, forgetting about the blue dot. What a big deal...

Did you try to add a comment to the reviewer explaining what your app doesn't do with this location ? Yes.

You are not setting the year, month, day of the month. var comps = calendar.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day], from: date) comps.hour = hour comps.minute = minute

Reply to Unable to create record in public cloudkit database for missing/not authenticated iCloud user
_world security permission gives anyone with or without an iCloud account the ability to create, read or delete a record. So why would you even want to give the user without an iCloud account permission to create or delete a record?

Reply to App Review Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam for our own App
Perhaps, it's obvious. But what's obvious to you is not really obvious to the rest of the world. I would explain in detail the relationship between "we" or "our" or "our own account" and all other parties including "Osiel Lima", "developer", "the previous account."
