Reply to Good morning we are trying to get our app approved and have numerous subscription rejections
It looks quite clear to me that the reviewer has kindly explained to you what you need to do with your submission. So where are you having difficulty? The following is a quick overview list. Get a URL to the EULA statement at your website and paste it inside the app description. Get a URL to your privacy statement at your website and paste it under the App Privacy section. Have a built-in sheet or equivalent to explain to the user what your subscription is about, what happens when a subscription expires, how they can cancel auto-renewal sub and so forth. I can go on and on, but that's not really my job. So I end here.

Reply to Apple Developer Program membership renewal still not updating active after payment
Alarmed by this post, I paid my due 25 minutes ago. I received a purchase confirmation message, followed by a message for membership renewal 11 minutes later. I've checked the developer site some 20 minutes ago. And I've confirmed that renewal is solid as shown in the screenshot below. So your question is Is this normal (a waiting period for a renewal). You haven't mentioned how long you waited till your alarm bell went off. So nobody can tell. And also, you don't tell where find out that my membership status still hasn't updated to active . So nobody can tell.

Reply to Backgrounded app - Local Notifications
The problem occurs when the app is backgrounded or force-closed; it can no longer send local notifications, and because these events can occur at any time, scheduled notifications can't be used. How does that work? Unless the user turns off the notification switch or the power of the device itself is off, the app is supposed to receive notification alerts.

Explained to them. They do make a lot of mistakes. Over the past 15 years, I have accumulated a lot of horrible review nightmare stories based on their complete imagination. Let me put it this way. They do things that do not exist. Write review notes under the App Review Information box to avoid unnecessary rejection. Your best option is to convince your rejection executioner with a concise, convincing explanation. Do NOT file an appeal because they do make mistakes. If they do, you will be done for good.

Reply to In-App Purchases Rejected
I have checked with internal and external testers and my devices and simulators, everyone sees the in app purchases but I just had my submitted rejected for the second time with the comment that these in-app none-consumable purchases cannot be found with the submitted binary. That's because you have prior knowledge as to where they are located, which doesn't guarantee that reviewers see them. by navigating through only 3 buttons How sure are you that those 3 buttons clearly appear under the latest OS version? Have you tested the app with an iPad? A toolbar button may appear as a 2 x 2 pixel dot under 26.0 unless you are careful with it. I would take a good look at the system details they give you. along with detailed instruction Perhaps, you are making the situation worse. I would make it concise so that they will not be overwhelmed

Reply to In-App Purchases Rejected
I notice one more thing. You may reconsider your app design in the whole picture. If it takes the user three steps just to get to the in-app store page, that's way atypical. Rejection is probably not about whether or not they can see purchase buttons but it's taking too many steps just to get there.

Reply to Rendering Multi-Page PDF with SwiftUI View
I have never done it for iOS, but isn't it just the matter of creating a PDFDocument object and then inserting an PDFPage object into the former at each page?

I'm afraid you are at a wrong place to ask a non-development question.

Reply to Your first subscription must be submitted with a new app version
Why don't you just release a free app and then submit a software update with premium features triggered by a subscription plan?

Reply to iCloud Account Signing Out
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. I actually ended up waiting for the OS to let me sign out for one hour or longer yesterday. I cannot file a feedback right now.

Reply to Performance - App Completeness
You are not describing what the subscription plans are for. You are not explaining what happens when they don't renew their subscription plan. You don't explain how to cancel auto renewal. You don't explain how to request a refund. There may be more.

Reply to App Rejected – Guideline 5.1.1(iv) – Location Permission Pre-Prompt With “Not Now” Button
I don't see why you need the button. How does the user benefit from seeing or tapping the button?

Reply to Removed from App Store Immediately after Distribution
There is something fishy going on. I have a desktop application that was approved just about some 30 minutes ago. If I go to the iTunes Connect store, its status is NOT set to Removed from App Store unlike the first screenshot under my initial post. It doesn't like I'm going to get an explanation from Apple, Inc.
