they say developer action needed but I dont understand what they mean, they say I need to attach them to the binary but its already in the appstore and locked I presume, I am tring to create a second version (1.0.1) however I cant find the spot to add the subscriptions because I think they still need developer action kinda feel like I am in a loop and would appreciate some help. I have been using chatgpt but it does not seem to be able to figure it out either, hoping for some good old fashion human help :) thanks again for all that you do, excited to be in the app store and I know this is probably a simple config thing

I'm building an app that sells non-consumable in-app purchases. I want to implement a partner/referral discount system using the following approach: Create multiple IAP products in App Store Connect for the same content at different price points (e.g. full price at €10, 10% off at €9, 20% off at €8) When a user enters a partner or referral code in the app, my backend validates the code and returns which product to present The user then completes the purchase through the standard StoreKit IAP flow — Apple processes the transaction normally at the discounted price No purchase is unlocked without going through Apple IAP. No external payment system is involved. The only difference from a standard purchase is which product SKU is shown based on a backend-validated code. My questions: Is this approach compliant with App Store guidelines? Is there any guideline that requires developers to use Apple's native Offer Codes system instead of this approach for discounted purchases? Any guidance would be appreciated before we invest in building this out.

I’m submitting the first auto-renewable subscriptions for my iOS app. Apple’s documentation says the subscriptions should be selectable from the app version page under ‘In-App Purchases and Subscriptions,’ but that section does not appear on my version page even though the build is attached and the subscriptions exist in App Store Connect. The subscriptions currently show ‘Waiting for Review.’ Please advise how to attach the subscriptions to the app version so I can complete first-time subscription submission.

I've been struggling for days to upload screenshots to App Store Connect. The Chrome console is showing multiple upload errors with status 0. One screenshot did sneak in and did upload, but every one I upload just fails without any messages. It will stick around with a gray box and cloud icon saying the file has not uploaded yet. I've seen multiple online posts from the past suggesting waiting (I waited 2 days), trying different browsers, private mode, resaving the image, etc.. I've never had this issue in years of uploading screenshots to App Store Connect. I really think this has to be an issue on App Store Connect but their status page doesn't show anything. Is anyone else having this issue?

hello this is my first time putting an app on subscriptions in Storekit, I believe I did everything correctly, from my paywall to everything in Xcode and apple connect, including agreements and sandbox, my sandbox in app purchase worked on all my subscriptions but when I my app was live in store it said purchase could not be made, basically apple wasn't returning what it needs to. my subsections are all approved and say active including my subscription group. bundle ID matches everywhere and so does product id, does anyone know what could possibly be the issue? and how to fix, I would really appreciate any insight.

Hi, I have a problem testing sending a significantAppUpdateTopic request with AskCenter. Sending a request of type CommunicationTopic works correctly: let question = PermissionQuestion<CommunicationTopic>( handle: .init(value: description, kind: .custom) ) try await AskCenter.shared.ask(question, in: viewController) Receiving the response from the guardian also works correctly for a question of type CommunicationTopic. However, after changing the request from CommunicationTopic to significantAppUpdateTopic, I get the following cryptic error: Error returned from daemon: Error Domain=com.apple.accounts Code=7 "(null)" (and nothing happens). This is the code I am using: let topic = SignificantAppUpdateTopic(description: description) let question = PermissionQuestion(significantAppUpdateTopic: topic) try await AskCenter.shared.ask(question, in: viewController) These are my settings: I created a child account within a family group the child's age in the family group is set to 15 I am the group organizer I am not located in Texas or the United States I am running this code in the app on a device where I am signed in as the child. Additionally, in the developer settings on the phone, I am signed in to a test Apple account where I set Age Assurance to: "Texas, child 13-15" (I also tried it without that, but I got the same error message) I would be very grateful for any information on how I can test this functionality without being in Texas.

Hello, I would like to request an escalation regarding my app review status. My app (Apple ID: 6758756966) was submitted for review on February 24 and has been in “Waiting for Review” status for an extended period, with no progress so far. I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times (Case IDs: 102840237455, 102840079647, 102846664998, 102841727941) starting from March 9, but unfortunately, I have not received any response to any of these requests. I have also submitted three expedited review requests, but none of them have been acknowledged. Could you please: • confirm whether the submission is still active in the queue • check if there are any issues preventing it from moving forward • and assist in escalating the review if possible If any additional information is required from my side, I am ready to provide it immediately. Thank you very much for your time and support.

App Review App Store Connect Hi everyone, My iOS app has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for over 10 days, and I’m starting to worry there might be an issue with my submission or account. Here are the key timeline details (GMT+7): Feb 3, 2026 – Submitted app → entered Waiting for Review Feb 5, 2026 – App went In Review and was later Rejected by Apple Feb 5 – Mar 2, 2026 – I made fixes and resubmitted Then on Mar 2, 2026: Submitted again → Waiting for Review On Mar 8, 2026: I made several quick re-submissions (Developer Rejected → Ready for Review → Waiting for Review multiple times within minutes) Since then: Mar 8, 2026 → Today (Mar 18, 2026) Status has remained “Waiting for Review” with no progress I have already contacted Apple Developer Support: Case ID: 102845134369 However, I haven’t received any meaningful update yet. My concerns: My app was previously reviewed (reached In Review and got feedback), so it doesn’t seem like a completely new or blocked app. The app itself is relatively simple (no sensitive content, no unusual permissions). I did perform multiple rapid re-submissions on Mar 8 — I’m not sure if that might have affected the review queue. My questions: Could multiple rapid “Developer Rejected → Resubmitted” actions cause my app to be deprioritized or delayed in the review queue? Is it normal for an app to stay in “Waiting for Review” for 10+ days without any status change? Should I: Keep waiting, or Cancel and resubmit again, or Submit a new build version? Is there any way to verify if my app/account has been flagged or requires additional information that is not shown in App Store Connect? I understand that review times can vary, but this feels longer than usual, especially since there has been no transition to In Review. If anyone (or Apple staff) has experienced something similar or has advice on how to proceed, I would really appreciate your guidance. Thank you very much.

Our app Lenu AI has been waiting in review longer than usual. Is there any issue with the submission?

My first App, a very simple one, is currently ‘Waiting for Review’. Is there anything else I need to do please, or do I just need to wait? Thanks

Hello, I'm getting a persistent error when submitting my TestFlight build: App: Mealog Build: 1.0 (4) Platform: iOS Steps: Go to App Store Connect → My Apps → TestFlight → Builds → select 1.0 (4) Click "Submit for Review" with plain-text test notes (no special chars/emojis) Error: "An error occurred processing your request. Please try again later." Troubleshooting done: Simplified test notes to plain text Tried incognito/private browser + cleared cache Disabled VPN/proxy Waited >1 hour and retried multiple times Confirmed build status is "Processed" Goal: Submit this build to TestFlight successfully.Attachment: Error screenshot uploaded.

Trying to submit my first subscription, but it says I have to do it on the version page of the app for the first time. There is no options anywhere on the version page to choose the subscription. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple telling me it's there, but refused to let me share my screen to show them it was not there. Unsure of what to do.

it just shows rejected without any reason, can anyone help to look what is the reject reason?

Hi everyone I recently build an app and deployed it through app store connect and testet it on TestFlight. Everything worked fine up until build 1.0.3. Since then I have not been able to install the app on my phone through TestFlight - even though build and submission runs through successfully on eas, expo and app store. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the TestFlight from my phone. removing and adding back myself as tester. checking logs and commits from the shift from build 1.0.3 to build 1.0.4. I can see I changed "name" and "slug", so I tried removing the app from app store connect and added a new one with new build and submission. Ran through successfully but still could not install the app through TestFlight on my iPhone. I have also tried reaching out to Apple Developer Support, but I have not heard from them. Has anyone tried something similar?

Hi, I submitted my iOS app for review on Wednesday, March 4th (around 4 PM UTC+8), and it has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for over 7 business days with no progress. I have already submitted an Expedited Review request 2 days ago, but the status remains unchanged. I understand review times can vary, but this extended wait with no movement or communication is making it difficult to plan our launch timeline. Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently? Is there anything else I can do at this point? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I’m posting here because I’m experiencing a very unusual issue with the App Store review process and haven’t been able to resolve it through normal support channels. Our app has been waiting in App Review for over 6 weeks, which is far beyond the normal review timeframe. During this period, I contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times and even submitted an expedited review request, but the situation has not progressed. Some of my inquiries have unfortunately received no response, and the app remains stuck in review without any explanation. This delay is now causing serious operational and financial impact for our small development business. We had updates and marketing plans scheduled around this release, but the prolonged review status is preventing us from moving forward. I fully understand that review times can vary, but a 6+ week delay without any status update or communication seems highly abnormal. If any Apple staff or experienced developers have encountered a similar situation, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this or escalate it properly. Thank you for any help or advice.

Hello, I’m dealing with an update that has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for weeks with no progress and no meaningful response from Apple. App details: App Name: Dólar Argentina Apple ID: 6758462259 Bundle ID: com.rgioia.dolarargentina Version: 1.3.0 (update) Timeline: First submission: February 19 → stuck in Waiting for Review I canceled and resubmitted: February 28 Since then → still stuck with zero movement This is almost a month with no review activity. What I already did: Requested expedited review → approved Contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times Followed up several times The only response I got was that the expedited review was accepted, but nothing happened after that. Impact: The app is already live, this is just an update I cannot release fixes or improvements Same version was approved on Google Play in ~20 minutes No rejection, no feedback, no communication At this point, this is not just a delay — it’s a complete lack of review and support. Questions: Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there any real way to escalate this? Could this be an issue with the review pipeline or my app/account? I understand delays can happen, but having zero feedback for weeks, even after an expedited request is approved, is not acceptable. Any help or visibility would be appreciated. — Ramiro

Hello, currently I am facing with issue. Our app's first distribution had got review in 5 days then accepted. In our previous apps it was only 3 days for first review that's not problem. Now again after distribution I have fixed some problems and now it is in review for three days. It was always maximum 1 days for reviews now it takes lot of time. Does anyone face this issue?

Hello, I am looking for some insight or advice regarding a persistent review delay for an app update. Our app is already live in the App Store, and this submission is a standard update. Timeline & Status: Submission Date: February 21, 2026 Current Status:"Waiting for Review" Total Time Elapsed: 20+ Days Previous Actions: * Submitted an Expedited Review request (No response). Sent two follow-up inquiries via the Contact Us form (No response). Details: App ID: 6755429397 Platform: iOS Issue: We have not received any feedback, requests for information, or rejections in the Resolution Center. Our account is in good standing, and all agreements are up to date. This delay is now causing a significant business impact. We have a scheduled marketing campaign with a spend of over $5,000 that is currently being lost because the update is stalled. Questions for the Community/Apple Staff: Is anyone else experiencing similar multi-week delays for simple updates right now? Are there any known backend issues affecting the queue for February submissions? What is the recommended next step when both the Expedited Review and standard support channels remain silent for over two weeks? We value the App Review process and simply want to ensure our submission hasn't become "stuck" in a technical glitch. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
