Hi All, We are facing App Rejection from Apple due to this - Guidelines 5.1.1(i) - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and 5.1.2(i) - Legal - Privacy - Data Use Issue Description The app appears to share the user’s personal data with a third-party AI service but the app does not clearly explain what data is sent and identify who the data is sent to before sharing the data.

We are developing an iOS application that requires NFC-based communication using ISO 7816 / ISO 14443 standards for secure element interaction as part of a card provisioning workflow. We would like clarification on the following points: Is it possible to provision a payment card or securely add a card to an NFC-enabled device using direct ISO 7816 APDU communication via NFCTagReaderSession? If not, is Apple Pay In-App Provisioning (PassKit framework) the only supported approach for enabling contactless payment functionality on iPhone? What specific entitlements are required if the use case involves secure element communication for token provisioning (not bypassing Apple Pay)? We have already requested the relevant NFC entitlements through our Apple Developer account and are awaiting a response. Any guidance on the correct architecture and approval requirements would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support.

Hello everyone, I submitted my app USDT Miner – Rig Manager to App Store Connect on February 2, and it has been in “Waiting for Review” status since then. I understand that review times can vary, but it has now been several days without any status change or feedback. This is my first submission for this app, and there are no resolution center messages or rejection notices so far. I wanted to ask: Is this delay normal at the moment? Are there any known review backlogs or factors that could cause an extended “Waiting for Review” status? Is there anything recommended to do from the developer side, or should I simply continue waiting? Any insights from Apple staff or fellow developers who’ve experienced similar delays would be appreciated. Thank you.

My Apple Developer Program membership has expired and my app has been removed. I am unable to find any renewal option or button on both the website and the app. Kindly assist me in renewing my account and reinstating my product at the earliest.

Hi, I’m enrolling our company in the Apple Developer Program and the enrollment has been stuck in Pending for 8 days. I contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times but haven’t received any response or request for additional information. Details: Enrollment ID: 6N5TLZQ68F Country: Türkiye I have the legal authority to bind the company to the Apple Developer Program agreements. Could someone from Apple please check the status and let me know if anything is missing on my side? Thank you,

We've tried everything, expedited, contacted, resubmitted, no replies, nothing after review has started, and even after our reply, this is from a large app that's been released monthly for over 5 years. If there is a large influx of new vibe-coded apps, perhaps they can go on the back burner for a bit while existing ones that require URGENT releases can at least be approved? Can someone reply to emails or provide some alt solution or updates of any kind? We've contacted support/replied already to any In Review responses (and been waiting for days/weeks), and the ball is in Apple's court. Maybe let an external company handle reviews/App Store business?

Hi everyone, I am struggling with a persistent issue regarding my Developer Program membership and Xcode syncing. Even though the Apple Developer Portal shows that my developer license is active and I have full access to App Store Connect, it is unfortunately not possible to sign applications with this account. It behaves as if the license wasn't active. The Symptoms: -Portal status: Active (Account Holder/Admin), -Xcode Settings: When I navigate to Settings > Accounts and select my team, there is a Red X displayed next to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles., Xcode suggests there is an issue accessing these resources and I cannot sign any binaries. Confirmed the membership is active in the web portal. Everything seems configured correctly on the web side, but the account simply doesn't work locally in Xcode. Has anyone faced this specific Red X issue despite a valid membership? Is there a specific cache I need to clear or a way to force Xcode to re-fetch the correct status? Any advice on how
