Reply to 3.2(f) triggered — account pending termination despite repeated attempts to comply
The issue was the feedback stayed very generic (“overtly sexual”) without pointing to specific elements They only tell you how you violate review guidelines. They won't tell you how you should make changes so that you will pass the review process. It's been like that for the past 15 years or longer. We only pay $99 annually. So it shouldn't be a surprise. If you need to find out how you should make changes, I'm afraid you need to hire a consultant.

Reply to 3.2(f) triggered — account pending termination despite repeated attempts to comply
a long review process with many resubmissions The word 'many' doesn't convey the exact number to others. Can repeated resubmissions / iterative changes alone be interpreted as “evasion” under 3.2(f)? It depends on what you have done, and nobody but people from Apple, Inc. knows it. You have been told that you have some questionable, overly sexual content. Suppose that that you have covered a sexually-revealing person with a see-through material. You've been warned 5 times. And each time you increase its opacity from 10% to 11%, 12%, 13%... If you do it many times without entirely getting rid of this person, I would definitely flag it for evasion.

Reply to App disappeared from App Store Connect - support unresponsive - Case 102841743378
Has anyone experienced an app disappearing from App Store Connect? Any advice on escalation would be appreciated. There have been a couple of cases where the app was automatically removed from the store after a software update even though the status said it was ready for distribution. It happened in March 5th. I've asked Apple, Inc. But there has been no explanation.

Reply to Rejected a couple of time for 5.1.1/5.1.2 - AI consent screen not seen by reviewers despite being first screen on launch
I've been rejected a couple of times for Guidelines 5.1.1(i) and 5.1.2(i) regarding third-party AI data sharing consent. IN-APP CONSENT (embedded in view hierarchy, not a sheet/popup) The description of your problem is confusing because you first say your app is rejected based on 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 review guidelines and then goes on to talk about in-app purchase products. Additionally, you don't mention the development platform. In my RootView.swift, the consent is a conditional view that blocks the entire app: Nobody really knows what RootView.swift is. Additionally, you mingle some lines of code with the description of your topic without using the code block, which makes it difficult for the reader to tell which line is code.

Where is your app going to be sold? If your app is supposed to be used for those who live in Italy and is sold to people inside and also outside of Italy, then the whole scenario doesn't make sense. I often give them a ZIP archive containing one or more videos because I submit a macOS application that works side by side with its iOS counterpart.

The one time we got Apple on the phone, we spoke to someone who said she was in charge of the testing team reviewing our app. The call was frustrating—she didn’t seem familiar with basic app testing for a location-based product (for example, how to emulate a different location) I don't know what 'emulating a different location' means, either. If it's not her own app that you are talking about, why does her unfamiliarity to your app make her incompetent? It is your responsibility, not hers, to explain how the app works. Right now we are averaging about a week at best to two weeks. What does that mean?

Reply to iCloud Sync not working with iPhone, works fine for Mac.
I don't know if it's related, but my sample iOS app (iOS 18.5) doesn't receive a remote notification today in line with CKQuerySubscription, which it received yesterday.

An Apple person occasionally mentions a sit-down review session. Probably, that's what you want. I don't remember the exact session title, though.

Reply to CKQuerySubscription on public database never triggers APNS push in Production environment
a. Try changing CKQuerySubscription options to [.firesOnRecordCreation, .firesOnRecordUpdate] b. Try setting the shouldSendContentAvailable property of CKSubscription to true.

I would run a search here if I were you. I've answered the exact same line of questions several times.

Reply to multiple .searchable on same View
I have never done it, but isn't it just the matter of constructing SwiftUI View consisting of multiple View, each of which has its own body?

Reply to sandbox purchase completes but app review gets stuck
There are a lot of topics about 'RevenueCat.' I would take a look at all of them if I were you. Actually, I think, I have read a quite similar topic probably a week ago. I do everything with Xcode. So I cannot offer a clue of any kind. I don't even know why people use RevenueCat. I only know the name. I would also find out if RevenueCat has support forums.

Reply to In App Purchase Products
Is it possible to add some restrictions in the Product so that a user can not downgrade from a large Storage to a smaller storage? That's possible. See if a purchase has already been made for a particular product identifier.
