Summary
I am unable to link my In-App Purchases and Subscriptions to my app version in App Store Connect. The "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section described
in Apple's documentation is not visible on my version preparation page, making it impossible to associate IAPs with my build before submission.
Steps to Reproduce
Open App Store Connect → My Apps → [App Name]
Navigate to the app version in "Prepare for Submission" state
Scroll through the entire version page
The "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section is not present anywhere on the page
Expected Behavior
According to Apple's documentation and the note shown on the Subscriptions page itself:
▎ "Your first subscription must be submitted with a new app version. Create your subscription, then select it in the 'In-App Purchases or Subscriptions'
section of the app's version page before submitting the version for review."
The section should be visible and allow me to select my configured subscriptions.
Actual Behavior
The section does not appear on the version page at all. My subscriptions (monthly, yearly, lifetime) are all in "Ready to Submit" state and correctly
configured, but there is no way to link them to the build.
Account & Contracts Status
All prerequisites are in place:
All contracts (Paid Apps Agreement) are signed and active — nothing pending under "Business" / "Agreements, Tax, and Banking"
Banking and tax information is fully set up
No open items or warnings under the Business section in App Store Connect
Despite all account requirements being fulfilled, the IAP linking section remains absent from the version page.
Impact
This is blocking my app from being approved. Apple's reviewer rejected my submission with Guideline 2.1(a) stating the subscription screen showed no
available plans. The reviewer cannot see the IAPs because they were never linked to the version — which I cannot do due to this missing UI section.
Environment
App Store Connect via browser (Safari + Chrome, both tested)
App status: "Prepare for Submission"
IAP status: All three products "Ready to Submit"
First-time submission (new app, never been approved before)
Workaround
None found. This appears to be a UI bug in the current version of App Store Connect.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to link IAPs to a build via the API or any other workaround?
