I'm submitting my first app version along with my first auto-renewable subscription group, and running into an issue.
My app version (1.0) submits for review fine on its own — no problems there. But I also need to submit my subscription group for the first time, and Apple requires the first subscription group to be submitted together with an app version.
I've created two subscriptions inside one subscription group. For both subscriptions I've completed:
- Product ID and duration
- Subscription pricing
- App Store localization (display name + description)
- An App Review screenshot (uploaded under Review Information)
On the subscription group's "Prepare for Submission" page, when I try to add it to a submission, I get this warning:
"Unable to Submit for Review
- New subscription groups must be submitted with an auto-renewable
subscription from within that group.
- To submit your items for review, add an app version for the
selected platform."
The "Submit for Review" button stays greyed out. Even though both subscriptions inside the group show "Prepare for Submission" status (not yet "Ready to Submit"), and I don't see where to add the app version to this same submission so they go together.
Has anyone run into this? What's the exact sequence to get a subscription group and its subscriptions to actually become submittable alongside a first app version? Is there a step I'm missing on either the subscription pages or the app version page?
Any advice appreciated.
