My app Perfkt Music (Bundle ID: com.perfktmusic.app, App ID: 6763551647) has been rejected multiple times under Guideline 2.1.0 App Completeness because it crashes on launch on iOS 26.4.2 devices (iPad Air 11-inch M3 and iPhone 17 Pro Max). App Setup: Expo SDK 54.0.0 React Native 0.81.0 Built with Xcode 26 (macos-sequoia-15.5-xcode-26.0 image on EAS) Bundle ID: com.perfktmusic.app Crash Details from Apple's crash log: Exception: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Termination: abort() called Faulting thread: com.meta.react.turbomodulemanager.queue Stack trace shows: __pthread_kill -> pthread_kill -> abort -> __abort_message -> demangling_terminate_handler -> _objc_terminate -> std::__terminate -> __cxa_rethrow -> objc_exception_rethrow The crash occurs in the TurboModule manager queue. The app does NOT crash on iOS 25 or any prior public release. What I have tried: newArchEnabled: true newArchEnabled: false buildReactNativeFromSource: true UIDeviceFamily: [1] (iPhone only) Multiple SDK versions Questions: Is this a known issue with React Native TurboModules on iOS 26.4.2? What is the exact fix needed for an Expo managed workflow app to pass App Store review on iOS 26.4.2? Is there a specific build configuration, package version, or code change that resolves this crash? Apple's App Review team directed me to the Developer Forums for assistance. Any guidance from Apple engineers or developers who have successfully passed review on iOS 26 would be greatly appreciated.

Hello App review Team, Our app have been stuck in awaiting review since Mar 29, 2026 at 10:40 AM and no feedback. Submission ID a2eef372-33d9-4fca-88e5-8629cee7a7e4, Is there a reason for this long waiting.When can we expect the review to proceed? Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

I would like to be able to price my app with different tiers with increasing number of increasing device installations ie smal 2 devices, family2-4, community - 100+ what is the best way to do this if it can be.

Hello everyone, Since roughly 12 hours i can no longer submit updated to my Apps, i always get a "Unable to Add for Review" with "To submit new apps or avoid potential payment blocks, add compliance information for Directive on Administrative Cooperation–7th Amendment (DAC7).". I of course already a few weeks ago went to the Business sections and selected "No" as it does not apply to us. I tried a lot but cannot make submissions work. I also contacted the Apple support but got no Feedback yet, does anyone have the same issue? What i tried: Switching DAC7 from No to Yes and then back to No again Private Browsing (Cache reset) Checked all other Agreementes, all is fine and "active" I fail to see any issue and assume it is an Apple central issue as they 1st of April rolled out the new DAC7 compliance check. With many greetings Robert

Was there are recent update to the App Store Search Algorithm? I noticed that beginning about a week ago my keyword search rankings changed drastically. I had read that Apple was planning on using AI as part of the search algorithm. I don't know if that's been rolled out but if it has, something is wrong. I've been seeing other developers on Reddit trying to make sense of the recent search rankings. The results seem to be attempting to inject potentially related apps and deprioritizing exact matches, to the point of burying the apps most relevant to what the user entered. In one test, I searched using all 3 words in my subtitle: "brainwave binaural monaural". The app is a 5-star audio neuromodulation app (but only 6 reviews). It appeared 66th in the search results. About 10 of higher ranking apps were competitors with good ratings and more ratings, so that made sense. The majority though were either unrelated apps with none of my search terms in their subtitle or related apps with 1-2 star ratings (but also none of my subtitle words). For example, at #30 was the Skullcandy earbud pairing app with 2.3 stars (283 reviews) and none of my subtitle words ("Skullcandy App Experience"). At #46 was a second Skullcandy app with 2.4 stars (subtitle: "Skullcandy smart tech"). Based on subtitle/keyword relevance, and rating, it makes no sense that these two earbud apps would appear 36 and 20 places above mine in the results. Has anyone else seen similar changes to the search ranking? I've been doing this since '08 and I haven't seen search perform as poorly as it is now.

Hello developers, I have a tricky question, that I do not understand. I have an application like this: https://apps.apple.com/cz/app/ignaci%C3%A1nsk%C3%BD-examen/id1589449136 that is in czech language. We have also the same application for e.g. italian: https://apps.apple.com/it/app/examen-ignaziano/id1589449136 or french: https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/examen-ignatien/id1589449136 that are valied and have proper screens and descriptions But the other languages have wrong pages, like: https://apps.apple.com/hr/app/ignaci%C3%A1nsk%C3%BD-examen/id1589449136 that should be in Croatia or https://apps.apple.com/pl/app/ignaci%C3%A1nsk%C3%BD-examen/id1589449136 that should be in Polish. Unfortunatelly, they are still in Czech language. I have in my Xcode and In AppStore are also several language mutations. Can you please help me what is wrong?

Hi, I have an app on the Mac App Store called Tunebar. It's a simple app that plays local music. I've noticed that searching directly for "Tunebar" never returns my app in the results. I understand it's not a popular app, but other apps that appear to be even less popular do show up for this search query. At first, I thought it simply hadn't been indexed yet because it was a new app. However, it's now been many weeks, and I don't recall ever having this issue with my other apps, searching for their exact name has always returned them in the results. I'm not even expecting it to appear as the first result, just somewhere in the list. A user recently emailed me saying they searched for it and couldn't find the app either. Is there a chance the indexer somehow skipped this app? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tunebar/id6759842578?mt=12 Thank you.

My app (Team ID: QD8Z9J4JZJ), despite the requested expedited review, has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” since Mar, 29 at 10:40 AM. Since this is causing us financial problems, I would greatly appreciate an update on its review status as soon as possible.

I was invited to join development team. so after receiving mail to my account I clicked accept invitation button in email. but the page of appstoreconnect shows that link is expired or invalid. however admin Is inviting me 2 min ago. how can I solve this problem? what should I do?

I've submitted my Digital Service Act a month and a half ago, but it is currently stuck in the "In Review" state. Because of this pending status, my app has been removed from the European storefronts, specifically Germany. I got an email saying the issue was promoted to a senior and the senior responded that she transferred it to the engineering team. i have customers waiting and it really hurts my business, what can i do? I don’t understand why there’s a need for engineering team for this issue, I just need someone to look at it and approve / reject the request If the support here or anyone can help it would be the best news for me, Thank you for that matter.

Hello, I have a few questions regarding App Store featuring nominations. -When do applicants receive a response to their nominations? -How is this response provided? Is it via the App Store Connect app page, email, or the nominations section? -For an already published app, can an application for App Launch Nomination submitted 1-2 days after publication be accepted? It says applications must be submitted 3-4 weeks before publication. Thank you for help.

If you do a search on the App Store for my app name "YatzyVibe". My app is listed amongst 'baby' and 'pregnancy' apps. Does anyone know what is causing the App Store search process to list my YatzyVibe (dice game) app amongst 'baby' and 'pregnancy' apps? Why isn't it listed amongst Yatzy Game apps? My app name: YatzyVibe Subtitle: No internet needed! Keywords: offline,dice,yatzy,yahtzee,bluetooth,multiplayer,travel,cruise,plane,no internet,family Developer Name: Andrew W. Wesolowski Support URL: https://newbornsoftware.com Bundle ID: com.newbornsoftware.yatzyvibe My app Description does NOT contain any references to 'baby' or 'pregnancy' but does contain: Terms of Use (EULA): https://newbornsoftware.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://newbornsoftware.com/privacy.html Any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue so that: 1. A direct search for "YatzyVibe" takes a user directly to my app 2. Searching for my YatzyVibe app, will result in it being listed amongst other Yatzy type game apps and NOT 'baby' and 'pregnancy' apps. Any help would be appreciated. BTW...

Users who redeemed offer codes via the Safari URL template (apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=...) have active subscriptions confirmed in iPhone Settings → Subscriptions (expiring April 2027). However, Transaction.currentEntitlements returns zero results in the app. AppStore.sync() has been called. Transaction.all also returns no Production transactions. The offer “Radius Inner Circle” is configured as: Free for the first year, does not auto-renew, and is tied to a yearly auto-renewable subscription product. Approximately 20 production users are affected. The subscription exists on Apple’s servers but never appears in the StoreKit 2 local transaction database. Is there a known issue with offer codes redeemed via Safari not populating Transaction.currentEntitlements? Is there an alternative API to query subscription status server-side? App ID: 6760574186 Bundle ID: com.michaelhills.Radius

I'm trying to release my first app (so may be missing something obvious), but it passed review 4 days ago and has been 'Ready for distribution' since then without going live. Is this normal, or am I missing some step I have to take? I saw another thread that mentioned setting pricing, but I've done that. TIA

In the verifyReceipt API response, there is a "is_trial_period" field. As detailed in WWDC 2023 the verifyReceipt is deprecated, how to fetch the fact that the subscription is during the free trial period via recommended App Store server APIs?

Hi everyone, Recently, a user purchased an annual subscription in one of my apps but hasn’t used the service much (I track usage through my backend). The user emailed me saying the purchase was made by mistake and had already submitted refund requests through the report portal. However, the requests were declined twice, and they can no longer submit another refund request. I suspect this may be because, in RevenueCat, I previously set the developer preference for refunds to “Prefer to decline,” due to users abusing AI trials. I have since changed the refund preference to “Prefer to grant,” but the user is no longer able to request a refund. May I know how I should proceed in this situation? I’ve already contacted Apple, but I’d appreciate hearing how others handle similar cases. Thanks!

Environment: Xcode26.4 iOS26.4.1 Capabilities: StoreKit External Purchases or Offers Entitlements: com.apple.developer.storekit.custom-purchase-link.allowed-regions Value(Array of strings) is jp It's a Japanese Apple ID。 ExternalPurchaseCustomLink.isEligible is always returning false.

Is it true that Apple developers can get NFR licenses for Logic Pro? My boss seems convinced and asked that I find out. Any help is appreciated.

I can confirm that: The In-App Purchase has been displayed in TestFlight. In the "App Store Connect/App/In-App Purchases", all the products has been "Approved". Inside of the In-App Purchase Product setting, the availability and Price are also correct. In one Build (same version), all the products has been selected. Off Course, that is why the products has been approved. In the "Business", all items' statuses are "Active", including Agreements, Bank Accounts, Tax Forms, Compliance. It's displayed well in the TestFlight and Debugging with Real-Device Simulation. How can I fix this issue? Code or Configuration?
