Submitted my app and it was approved by Apple. I then downloaded it from the app store and went through onboarding however when I tried to complete a purchase it failed. Went back to app store connect and saw that there is an issue with my subscriptions. Says localization is rejected but does not provide any reason why. Any ideas?? Everything worked fine with sandbox account.
App approved but subscriptions not working: Says localization was rejected without providing any reason
That's hard to say. The following is a list of possible reasons.
- The IAP sheet or whatever is hard for the user to locate or reach.
- The description is different from what the app is actually capable of doing.
- The premium feature that the IAP promises is not suitable for subscription plans.
Thanks for the response

Unlikely - just have a standard subscription page at the end of the onboarding flow
-
My descriptions are just "Monthly Subscription" and "Annual Subscription". There is a free trial to my app but no free tier, so user has to select one of these

Premium feature is the only way in (with 7 day free trial). Gives you access to everything
Ive been reading about similar issues and its almost like when I submit a new version I can add a build but I cant add a "subscription" to the build to be reviewed in tandem.

It sounds to me that your implementation of the premium feature is DOA. What happens to the app and its features after the user decides not to cancel auto renewal?
Did your issue was resolved?
The same happen to me too, long story short, my game got approved but the IAP are still in waiting for review, try to change the localization name once and save it, submit for review should open, returned the localization name as it was before and submit for review. I think after you submitted the app first time it was rejected and you resubmit it for approval but the IAP was not submitted with the main app.
Thanks for the response - not following
Many apps have a hard paywall (only offering a free trial). User has to subscribe either way to get in, if they dont cancel they continue with active subscription if they do cancel now they are removed
Why would my implementation be DOA
