Reply to App Keeps Getting Declined From Guideline 5.6
There are rules for subscription plans. As long as I see your screenshot, you don't seem to follow them. Have you looked for and read subscription plan documents? I'm not going to post links for you. Nor am I going to mention those rules because I already did twice in the past several days. You will never get your subscription plans approved unless you follow those rules.

Reply to Submitting an app and waiting time, what is the timeline for app reviewers? And other questions
IS there a maximum number of days that an app has to be reviewed before end of that period? In other words: if an app is posted, a review HAS TO HAPPEN before x days, is a rule (hopefully) or no? Nobody outside the realm of the review team knows if there is such a system except that I doubt that there is. Are we allowed to post many apps at once? I mean as a developer I can take time working in multiple apps, then suddenly deciding to publish them all, that is okay right? Are their limitation or expected "published flow" to have? Yes, we are. Once I submitted two dozen software titles over several days back in 2011. Once an app has been approved and published, will the waiting times for updates (new versions of the app) reviews smaller hopefully? or how was your experience? Is there a general rule you have seen? Yes. The wait time for a software update for an existing app is generally a lot shorter.

Reply to Waited Almost a Month, Only to Get Rejected for “Hidden Features” and “Minimum Functionality”
This is clearly not just a wrapped website. The only WebView usage is for standard settings pages such as Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and FAQ. It means that you don't need an app since you could do it by hosting those features at a website. But that does not match my app at all. It is a native social alarm clock app with features including: Nobody knows what 'Real-time voice rooms', 'Live Activities' or 'QR code invitation scanning' are.

Reply to Apps stuck in “Waiting for Review” for over a month – never entering “In Review”
I have already tried: • withdrawing and resubmitting the app You are back to the end of the line. I wouldn't do that if I were you. Depending on where you are, you may end up waiting for weeks, if not days. It seems that the review delay is caused by a spike in the number of submission because you can now develop an app with little or no knowledge thanks or no thanks to AI. There was no delay until last November. I'm not terribly affected. Some people like those in China seem to be heavily affected. I only guess that Apple, Inc. cannot hire and then train reviewers fast enough to keep up with demand.

When you have one or more binaries for submission, the + button will become visible under the Build section. If you click on it, you will see a list of candidates. If you don't see the plus button or a list of candidates, something must have gone wrong. You can upload another binary with a different build number. Usually, if there is something wrong with the binary you sending, Organizer will show an error.

Reply to Auto-renewable subscriptions stuck in "Waiting for Review" causing StoreKit products unavailable during App Review
I am afraid I don't follow your long, winding story. The In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section will appear whenever you create a new software update, provided that you have a subscription group that has not been submitted to review. It sounds to me that you just need to create a new group with different product identifiers. I don't know anything about RevenueCat, though. I don't know why they use it. I would consider making the story concise if I were you.

Reply to Apple Support are you even here?
Unfortunately, there is nothing new. Apple Support is pretty much you and me. That's Apple's way. We are little people. Little people hardly make a difference in life. They use little people to do their job so that they can concentrate on making more money for the sake of their stock holders, I guess. In a sense, It's a modern version of slavery. They want us to file bug reports, too, when I fact they have billions of dollars to hire some new people and find ones for themselves. Once I refused, and I was publicly scolded by an Apple person here some 15 years ago.

If you go back to the Apps section and then return to your specific app page, it will give you a brief explanation as to why your upload has failed although it won't help you much.

Reply to App Review Rejection — Demo Account Login Fails Despite Working Credentials (Supabase Auth)
Have you searched the site for 'demo account'? There are a lot of matches. Your statement is difficult to read. It would be easier if you separate all your sentences into several paragraphs.

Reply to Where are the forums heading to ?
I agree. Many topics are now either the review process is taking longer than the usual time frame. there's no response after I applied for a developer account. I don't even go to Stack Overflow any more, either. Hopefully, they will cease to exist within a few years.

Did I miss a step in uploading the build? Unless you explain what a thing that you so-call 'build' is and where and how you uploaded it, nobody can really give you a definite answer.

Reply to auto-renewable subscriptions
Have you searched this site? I've answered similar questions several times in the past. Once you click on the submission button, the said section will disappear.

Reply to Sandbox subscription test is triggering multiple transaction events for a single purchase attempt
It's hard to say even a word since you don't show a single line of code. We don't know whether you are using UIKit or SwiftUI, showing a list of subscription plans with UITableView, UICollectionView or SwiftUI List or SwiftUI Table. There is zero information.

Reply to Dumb noob question,,
I heard several years ago that there is a software package or equivalent that lets you create a SwiftUI screen design based a Figma submission.
