Before the public release, Apple will allow you to submit apps using Xcode 16 so there is no need to downgrade. You can also submit a feature request here: https://developer.apple.com/contact/app-store/promote/ Good luck!

It's difficult to comment without knowing your app, but you can submit an appeal to App Review if you believe this is an error. Sometimes they may just need some extra information or clarification

Ensure your the build is uploaded using the 'TestFlight & App Store' distribution method. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/distributing-your-app-for-beta-testing-and-releases#Select-a-method-for-distribution

App Review should have provided you with some detailed rejection notes. Do you put the screenshots into a device frame? Most rejections are usually around these if you have followed everything else in the guidelines.

Unfortunately not, the build must be re-uploaded with the correct distribution method (TestFlight & App Store). An alternative would be to use Xcode Cloud if you have this set up.

There is no submit button for External Testing. Once you add a build to the external group, it will be submitted. Is your build showing as 'Waiting For Review'? Make sure to have also filled out the Test Information

It looks like you're mixing up the App Store Server API with the /verifyReceipt endpoint (which is now also deprecated as of June 2024). The URL should be: https://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt For subscriptions, the request body also requires a password which is your app's shared secret (you can obtain this from App Store Connect)

I'm not familiar with DSA however from a usual process — was the distribution method set correctly when uploading the new build? If the method was 'TestFlight Internal Only', it will be greyed out https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/distributing-your-app-for-beta-testing-and-releases#Select-a-method-for-distribution

This may sound obvious, but have you ensured your IAPs are approved and 'available for sale'?

@uetyo You're not alone :) I had this problem since yesterday https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/760443?answerId=797130022#797130022

Not getting any errors, but 'Archive' action either never completes or stuck "pending". Anyone else?

Feels like we missed something obvious! — see Un-preserve prices for subscribers https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-subscriptions/manage-pricing-for-auto-renewable-subscriptions Scroll down to the Subscription Pricing section and click View all Subscription Pricing. Click Starting Price. Click Edit Price. App Store Connect displays the countries or regions where subscribers currently pay a lower price Select the countries or regions where you want to increase the price. Click Next.
