Hi, I would like to remove an app from apple vision pro app store but also I would like to keep it for iPad and iPhone. Is it possible? I tried in xcode to select destinations only for iPhone and iPad but this doesn't work.

Hello, I am currently implementing server-side handling for in-app subscription payments and using App Store Server Notifications V2 to receive notifications with a TestFlight account. However, I am not receiving EXPIRED notifications, although I am successfully receiving other notifications such as SUBSCRIBED, DID_RENEW, and DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF. Here are some details of my observations: Until a certain point, I was receiving EXPIRED notifications without any issues, but they stopped coming in after that point. Each subscription renews every 3 minutes in TestFlight account, and I receive DID_RENEW notifications 7 to 12 times. According to the official documentation, the subscriptions should renew up to 12 times, but I am not receiving exactly 12 DID_RENEW notifications. This inconsistency might be related to the issue. Other notifications (SUBSCRIBED, DID_RENEW, DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF) are received without any issues. Could anyone provide insight into why this might be happening and suggest any alternative methods to handle subscription expirations in case the EXPIRED notifications are not reliable? Thank you for your assistance.

I created my macOS app icon using the resources provided on the website for macOS Sonoma (Production Templates): https://developer.apple.com/design/resources/ However, when I check my app icon on the App Store, it has an incorrect size. Although, it is presented correctly in the Dock. Any ideas on how to fix that? Should I export the icon without padding that is by default set for the export? I used the Sketch template. I also reported it using Feedback Assistant: #FB13811586

Hello, on the App Store I have two simple Safari extensions both for iOS and macOS, one app for iOS for testing and feedback purposes (so, even if it's a complex app, nothing of "serious" for the moment) and one mature and complex app for macOS. The last one is localized for the most important 12 languages, the others one are in english only (but due their simplicity are enough). At this moment they are all free apps. The point is this one: overall in the macOS app I except a general interest for a mature and very interesting application, but seems that, independently from everything, the only real downloaders and users are the US ones. This is really demoralizing because this app needs to be known, but only the US audience is not enough. Only the 10% of downloaders are generally equally divided between UK, India, Canada, Brazil, China and Japan. So the keywords seem effectively findable. Is it normal this huge difference? Not-US audience is more suspicious? There is a particular psychology difference between US and other countries? Ok, probably most macOS users, with a recent hardware (this app require at minimum macOS 12.3 to work), are located in US. But the ratio US:rest of the world seems anyway unbalanced. Thank you, have patience if my question is dumb.

I have an application that I have been attempting to remove from my Apple developer account just to clear it out, unfortunately the latest update was not accepted by apple and was abandoned. I desire to remove the app from my account permanently. I have ensured that all of the requirements at Remove and App have been met, the app was "removed from the app store" more than a year ago. Any advice for actually removing the app would be helpful.

I built an app that makes playing audio plays easier using MusicKit. Now I am about to release the app to the app store. Following questions occured while doing so: Am I accessing/showing third party content in my app when I am music (in this case radio plays) from MusicKit? I am getting all of that data directly from Apple. Is Apple a third party in this case? The publisher has an app that can playback all of the content that can be accessed in my app. This app has an age rating of 4+ years. Can I just copy that? I've heard that referring to other apps doesn't convince the App Review Team if they disagree. None of the titles are marked explicit in Apple Music. Under the hood MusicKit is using HTTPS to get the data from Apple's servers. I have no code that has anything to do with encryption or HTTPS. Does my app still uses Non Exempt Encryption because MusicKit does so? Can I access music through MusicKit that is otherwise not available in this region or does MusicKit take care of this for me? In other words do I have to restrict the availability of my app to certain regions so I don't bypass any geo blockings by accident? Thank you

For scheduling purpose our Mac application using crontab terminal commands, which are working fine when sandbox is not enabled. For submitting the application to Appstore, we enabled the sandbox option and after that Crontab commands are not working. Getting the error messages as, /bin/sh: /usr/bin/crontab: Operation not permitted. Could you please guide us how to use the crontab commands when sandbox option enabled.

My application uses "paid" monetization model. I think in the productivity category it works quite well. However, when I advertise my application, 50% of the questions are: "is there a free trial?" and I would love to provide a free trial to potential customers, but the App Store doesn't allow me to do that. I don't understand why this feature is not available. I even started considering migration to in-app purchases, but it's quite a big deal. I managed to establish quite a good profit and I'm worried how it would affect my positioning and results. On top of that, I really like the paid up-front model, because it solves many issues and doesn't need any extra implementation on my side. I'm starting this thread to hear what you think about that and how many people are looking for this feature. I also created a feature request in Feedback Assistant: #FB13810170

Hello Apple Developer Community, I hope this message finds you well. I recently submitted an astrology-related app to the App Store, and it was rejected with the following reason: "Your app primarily features astrology, horoscopes, palm reading, fortune telling, or zodiac reports. As such, it duplicates the content and functionality of many other similar apps currently available on the App Store." I would like to seek some clarification and guidance on how to address this issue and bring my app in compliance with Apple's guidelines. I understand that there are similar apps available, but I believe my app offers unique and valuable features that differentiate it from others. Specifically, I would like to know: What criteria does Apple use to determine whether an app is considered duplicative of others in the same category? Are there any specific guidelines or best practices to follow when submitting astrology or similar apps to ensure they are approved? Is there a way to highlight the distinctive features of my app that make it unique and provide a better user experience compared to other similar apps? Are there any precedents or examples of successful astrology apps that were approved on the App Store, and if so, what factors contributed to their approval? I want to ensure that my app complies with Apple's policies and provides value to users while avoiding any issues related to duplication. Any insights or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards,

Subject: Clarification on App Store Policy Regarding Payments Through Telegram Bots Dear Apple Team, My name is Fedor Skuratov, and I am a CEO at Combot.org. We have received a notification from Telegram (Telegram.org) regarding the necessity to switch to a new payment mechanism—Telegram Stars — for all bots that accept payments for digital goods and services. This is the text of their announcement: URGENT Action Required Dear Bot Developer, Apple has informed Telegram that @combot is in violation of App Review Guidelines 4.7 and 3.1.1, because it accepts payments for digital goods and services directly from customers without relying on Apple's in-app purchase mechanism. To ensure that Telegram bots/mini apps such as yours continue operating without interruption on all platforms, we have developed a way for third-party developers on Telegram to accept payments from their customers that is compliant with the App Store and Play Store policies. To this end, we are rolling out a new in-app currency, Telegram Stars, which users will be able to acquire from Telegram using standard Apple and Google in-app purchases and then use to buy digital goods and services from you. Developers will be able to review their Telegram Stars balance and withdraw them at any time using the TON blockchain. Starting on June 12, all payments for digital goods and services in bots and mini apps will have to be carried out exclusively in Telegram Stars. Since Telegram has to follow the Guidelines imposed on us by the app stores, failure to comply with these changes will result in the suspension of @combot for most of your customers. We will publish the full updated API documentation within the next few days, but you can already prepare your bots and mini-apps for the upcoming changes. To accept payments for digital goods and services, you will need to use the sendInvoice or createInvoiceLink methods with the currency field set to "XTR" and the provider_token field left empty. We expect these changes to positively impact the conversion rate for payments from customers in most markets. Payments for physical goods and services remain unchanged. More details will be published on @botnews soon. The Telegram Team These changes have raised several questions and concerns as they directly impact our business. We would like to seek clarification on the following points: **Apple's Requirements: ** What specific requirements has Apple set for Telegram and bot developers regarding payments for digital goods and services? Is this requirement initiated by Apple or is it solely a decision by Telegram? **Apple's Commission: ** According to the new rules, Telegram proposes using in-app currency (Telegram Stars) for all payments for digital goods and services, which adheres to the Apple/Google commission (~30%). These changes can negatively affect existing business models. Are there any plans to ease the conditions or provide additional time for adaptation to the new requirements? Jurisdictional Issues: In most jurisdictions, receiving payments for digital goods in cryptocurrency (including TON/Telegram Stars) is illegal. How does Apple plan to address this issue in your relations with Telegram and businesses which uses the bot functionality in Telegram app? Application of Rules: Do these requirements apply only to those developers using in-app Telegram Payments 2.0, or to all who sell any services and have links to these services in its bots? Payments on Third-Party Websites: Our service (Combot.org) which is a moderation an community management tool for communities including Telegram chats, uses Stripe to accept payments on our website, and the bot acts as an agent in chats and does not handle payments. How do Apple's new requirements relate to such business models? We appreciate your assistance and understanding in this matter. Thank you in advance for your clarification. Sincerely, Fedor Skuratov CEO Combot.org

Guideline 3.2 - Business We found in our review that your app is intended to be used by a specific business or organization, including partners, clients, or employees, but you've selected public distribution on the App Store in App Store Connect. Since the App Store is intended for apps with a public audience, we recommend reviewing the other distribution options available to you through your Apple Developer Program Account. App Store Connect Reject as the our app create for specify business, including partners, clients and they recommend us to distibute app as unlisted app I found many apps that have the same business model like ours, can be public on app store. anyway for us was rejected from app store. Do you have idea on this? Thank you!

Hello, I have encountered this error in all the applications I have listened to so far on my individual developer account and I cannot test it. I heard that different developer friends of mine are experiencing this problem, especially on individual accounts. All test users I added to my account also have this problem. They all have different phones and operating system versions. I tried a lot of solutions on different computers, Xcode versions, etc. But I couldn't find a solution. Could you please help with this?

While I'm keen on being on the latest version of macOS, I'm having trouble meeting the requirement that my app can run on a version of macOS that doesn't exist :) I'm using Xcode 15.2 (15C500b), targeting iOS 17.2. I've elected to have the App Store choose the minimum version for Catalyst. I've also tried selecting a version. ITMS-90899: Apple silicon Mac support issue - The app is not compatible with the provided minimum macOS version of 14.2. It can run on macOS 14.4 or later. Please specify an LSMinimumSystemVersion value of 14.4 or later in a new build, or select a compatible version in App Store Connect. For details, visit: ... Is there something I could be doing wrong to prompt this behaviour?

I hired a developer who took my money and then never finished the job, never provided me with the files needed. I need to make a text change to the App Store page but Apple requires uploading the Build file again. Any way to either download the file from Apple and re-upload it? Or better yet, make the text change without uploading a file? The only change needed is the text in the app store page, no changes to the app itself. thanks

Hello, I just updated my app and provided 3 preview videos (+1 screenshot which seems to be mandatory). None of the preview videos are visible on the App Store for both iPhone and iPad, and I have no clue why. Has anyone else ever experienced this issue?

We've developed a macOS application that helps users manage other applications. This includes features like resizing applications through our application. However, this functionality works fine before integrating the sandbox, but stops working afterward. In essence, our application is unable to resize other applications after being sandboxed. Any guidance on how to achieve this functionality within the sandbox restrictions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
