Reply to Question about in-app purchases guidelines (3.1.1)
Would my app get rejected if I were to just send users to the web page for subscription management? Most likely, because there you are providing them with mechanisms to pay for your content without using Apple's purchasing mechanism. If you think about the problem the other way - if it would be that easy to bypass Apple's purchasing mechanism, everyone would be doing it, especially big companies. My question is, do I need to implement this subscription in my app as an in-app purchase? I'm pretty sure this is the only option in this case.

Reply to App Rejected due to Code Of Conduct
Hello, At this point, there is no more about approving the apps you are submitting, but all about saving your Apple developer program account. Apple is saying that they found other developer accounts that have been flagged for removal and/or removed and those accounts are linked to your account. What you need to do now is to explain why they found such evidence, including why apps on associated accounts are similar to the apps on your current account. Are you submitting copies of the same app on multiple accounts?

Reply to Abuse of a leak in App-store relates to In-App Events, is back again;Warning
Hello, It's the first time that I saw this issue. Related to the first post it seems that this really isn't the desired behavior. However, this time the suggestions seem to me pretty normal. As far as I know, the suggestions are mostly made of popular searches (people searching for a term), and app names. What seems to be the issue here exactly?

Reply to Question for "in app purchase"
How do I implement inn app purches to make it stay a web page? You cannot redirect users outside of the app to make a purchase. All content must be processed within your application via the StoreKit framework. What is your case? Why you would want to send a user to purchase on the web?

Reply to Clarification on Apple Guideline 5.1.1(v)
Hello, My personal experience with such implementation: I can't stand apps that I download and then I must create an account in order to use them. I delete such apps immediately because I simply don't trust them. There was 0 effort for the app to "bond" with me as a user. It's a frustrating experience for me. On the other side as a developer, I understand your problem but there are several things you can do in order to protect the integrity of your game. One idea is that in "guest" mode, you just don't accept / store any coins from the client and you let the user know this is the case (ex. until it registers the progress won't be saved on the server). Anyway, there are many things you can do here. There are multiple solutions in which you can take to give the user a good user experience and on your side, to protect the integrity of the app. Just don't make apps that require user login before using them.

Reply to App rejected regarding cryptocurrency exchange license
@jeffsun If your legal entity is a cryptocurrency exchange then it's best for you to provide the documents that Apple requires from you. There is no other way. If you will or not be approved on the App Store, nobody knows but chances are significantly higher if you do what Apple asks. Additionally to everything, note that cryptocurrency apps are a grey area and in the end, Apple decides best in its own interest (know that Apple will protect its users first). It's different if the app is submitted by a big company that already established a cryptocurrency business on its own website (ex. Binance) or just a recently registered crypto exchange. Hope you resolve your issue. Best

Reply to Subscription "Waiting for review" status stuck after been approved
Hello there, If the status of the subscription is "waiting for review", I would wait. However I understand that it may have a strange status and most likely the subscription was rejected, so personally if after a week the subscription isn't reviewed I would: Contact Apple and explain the issue or Submit the app again (along with subscription) Please let us know, how it goes.

Reply to developer account
Hello, This is indeed possible if accounts are registered to different persons. Just note that from this point, Apple will most likely treat both accounts as "linked", meaning if one account gets in trouble, the other one will also.

Reply to Having Different Names For App Store vs. When Downloaded
In Xcode under "General" and "Display Name", you can enter the name it will be displayed on the device. On the App Store Connect in the "Title" section, you enter the name it will be displayed on the App Store. However note that if the name is completely different and totally unrelated between the two, it may get rejected by the review team. Best

Hello, "but Apple has still insisted on a business license, even after receiving such a letter." Are you an individual or a company? Is your company a "financial" company?

Hi, What does your app do, that you got flagged for SPAM? "Guideline 4.3 - Design We noticed that your app provides the same feature set as other apps submitted to the App Store; it simply varies in content or language, which is considered a form of spam."
