Fixed it.
I logged into Slack using the same email address as my Apple ID (which interestingly mapped to an email address to which it is forwarded, in a related domain).
Down the bottom of the page was a section with two outstanding invites.
For some reason, I had not received any emails alerting me to these invites.

Hey, another SpriteKit-using iMessage app here - Touchgram has been on the store since 2019, massive update coming real soon now.
I just checked my app info.plist and I have armv7 same as the original poster.
This does ring faint bells for me of the early days but couldn't find a diary entry about it. Be very careful about your names matching including case sensitivity.

Hi Marco, I'm using UIKit in Touchgram (because it was started ages ago) so can't help specifically but have spent most of the last 3 years in this space so happy to help.
Touchgram is probably the most complex iMessage app extension ever built (especially when I wrap v1.3) - it's effectively a full Keynote-level layout system plus gesture recognition plus exposing SpriteKit features such as shaders, animations & particles... all inside iMessage...to send interactive messages.
Responding to the Delete Main.Storyboard point
The result is a bank screen on the iPhone and the app icon in the middle of a blank screen on the simulator
If you are seeing that, you are launching the app from XCode.
You need to launch the Message Extension to debug it, which will bring it up inside Messages.
Note that this is very fragile - I sometimes have to launch a couple of times and do a dance of quitting XCode/Simulators.

Answering my own question - look at what's up there now as of v1.0.1 of Touchgram. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/touchgram-for-imessage/id1447336478?ls=1They accepted videos showing the app including in compact view.I got the review through last night, it went back into review (without me having to press Submit for Review again, which was a minor puzzle if needed)

I got a similar rejection for Touchgram in 2019 when I tried to show Messages being launched from Springboard:?Your app preview includes content that does not sufficiently reflect the app in use. Specifically, your preview:- Displays other apps.- Shows footage other than the app in use.They included a screenshot of the springboard starting frame.I then trimmed the video further to show how it starts with the app icon in the middle of the Compact view of iMessage and they clipped that frame and left the status as rejected for the same reaons as above.Have just further trimmed the video so it shows the iMessage extension in Compact mode, which means iMessage's transcript and the bar of app icons is visible. Will be very interesting to see if this is accepted. I have an alternate theory that the App Preview is regarded as only being for the app, even when 99% of your functionality is in the extension.
