This is my first launch, and i submitted 4 versions of my app. All the versions were reviewed and accepted. For each submission i filled in the Age Rating questionnaire, but after all the 7 steps, it shows UnRated. When i fill in the questions for the Age Rating, and in my game app i have no nudity/obscene or defamatry content of any sort, and i eplxicitly mark this questions to NONE, but after answering all questions, on the final step i see the warning: "Based on your selections, this app can't be made available on the App Store. Apps on the App Store can’t contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, and so on)." Which is BS because the app contains nothing of the sort and epxlicitly answered all related questions that it contains nothing of the sort and the app submissions are reviewed and accepted for distribution,.

I've seen several posts for this issue posted over the past few weeks with ZERO response from Apple. On the screen where we need to input an age rating, we're seeing "No Age Rating", with no way to get around it. The bigger question here, though, is: HOW MANY OF US HAVE TO SUBMIT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE THERE GETS OFF THEIR *** AND HELPS US OUT?!!!!

Hello, **I'm Using ** Unity 6 LTS Unity Apple GameKit + Core plugins Turn-based matchmaking interface w/ 2 players max App Store Connect API for rule-based matchmaking I have already enabled game center in app store connect (I think) authenticated players and matched via friend request I am stuck Using queues to match players automatically I'm working on a rule-based matchmaking system which aims to place two players against each other into a GKTurnBasedMatch. I have a simple Unity Project that correctly authenticates a user and proceeds to send a matchmaking request. The matchmaking script utilizes the Unity plugins' GKTurnBasedMatchmakerViewController.Request(...) request function with a GKMatchRequest.Init() request configured with a QueueName equal to the App Store Connect API Queue I created. The queue I created is also linked to a ruleset with a very basic rule that checks if the properties contains a key called 'preference' that contains a string value for what side the player wants to play for this match. If during the matchmaking, the preferences between players are different, then the match is made and both players should join the match; each player gets to play the side they have chosen. I have my rule expression designed to just check if the preferences are not equal: requests[0].properties.faction_preference != requests[1].properties.faction_preference When I launch the game with two physical iPads and begin the matchmaking request, each player is immediately presented with two options: Invite a friend, or Start game The Problem: Inviting a friend works to get two players into a game, but queue seems to not matter, and clicking start game will just put the current player into its own match (no one joins). The Question: How do I get queue based matchmaking to work in Unity for a Turn-based match with only two players who are able to select the enemy side they want to play dictated by a rule that compares enemy play-side preferences?

Hello everyone, For example, our app currently has one subscription group in App Store Connect with 5 plans (2 annual, 2 monthly, and 1 quarterly). By default, users can go into Apple Subscriptions in Settings and freely switch between all of these plans. However, our business requirement is to only allow users to stay on one annual plan and one quarterly plan. We don’t want them to switch to the other plans. My questions are: Is there any best practice or recommended approach to restrict subscription switching within the same group? Would removing the unwanted products from sale be the correct approach, or are there any risks/downsides with this method? Has anyone faced a similar situation and found a practical solution? Any guidance or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can we Wrap a website in a React Native Web view and Make it live on iOS? Here is an example code (Just a web application wrapped inside React Native ) import React, { useEffect, useRef, useState } from "react"; import { BackHandler, StyleSheet } from "react-native"; import { SafeAreaProvider, SafeAreaView } from "react-native-safe-area-context"; import { WebView } from "react-native-webview"; export default function App() { const webviewRef = useRef<WebView>(null); const [canGoBack, setCanGoBack] = useState(false); // Handle Android back button useEffect(() => { const backHandler = BackHandler.addEventListener("hardwareBackPress", () => { if (canGoBack && webviewRef.current) { webviewRef.current.goBack(); return true; // prevent app exit } return false; // allow app exit }); return () => backHandler.remove(); }, [canGoBack]); return ( <SafeAreaProvider> <SafeAreaView style={styles.container} edges={["top", "bottom", "left", "right"]}> <WebView ref={webviewRef} source={{ uri: "https://www.kallardo.com/" }} style={styles.webview} startInLoadingState={true} javaScriptEnabled={true} domStorageEnabled={true} onNavigationStateChange={(navState) => setCanGoBack(navState.canGoBack)} /> </SafeAreaView> </SafeAreaProvider> ); } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, }, webview: { flex: 1, }, }); I want to know will we get approval easier or makes it complicated or not allowed

Does anyone know if App Store Connect (or any subset of Apple's toolsuite) has publicly available SOC 2 report? Or if there's a relevant email we can request that from. I tried security-certifications emails and got no response so it seems decently hard to find (didn't see on any searches/with aid of GPT). Thanks!

Lately every app that I submit (games) with in app purchases, always coins , the app gets rejected with: Guideline 3.1.1 - Business - Payments - In-App Purchase Your app uses intermediary currency to purchase items that function as non-consumable products but still does not include a restore mechanism. Users restore transactions to maintain access to content that they've already purchased It baffles me that reviewers think buy different number of coins is non-consumable. I have tried to explain that coins will be used to buy weapons and skins and they will also be earned at the end of every level yet for some reasons they are still rejecting the app. It is absurd. This is the second app that I have to go through with this. The first one they eventually figured it out but this one no.

Hey guys, I'm currently building my first app, which is not released yet. Inside the app there is one button that should bring the user to the app's App Store page, if the user wants to rate the app. I have found a way to navigate the user to the App Store page, with the help of the SKStoreProductViewController - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skstoreproductviewcontroller. Although I need the App Store ID of my app aka the SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier. - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skstoreproductparameteritunesitemidentifier My question is now: How can I get my App Store ID if my app is not released yet? When looking into App Store Connect - My App - General Information I see a point called "Apple ID" with an 10 digit code. The description when clicking on the question mark is: "An automatically generated ID assigned to your app". This code looks like the App Store ID, but is it really it? Really appreciate any help!

I built the Appvector tool – aso.report, a completely free ASO analysis platform designed to help indie developers easily improve their App Store listings without complex metrics or costly subscriptions. Just paste your app’s URL to get instant insights, multi-country analysis, and actionable recommendations - making ASO simple, accessible, and effective for everyone.

ASO is by far one of the most frustrating parts of being an indie iOS dev. Despite trying keywords, descriptions, screenshots, and icons, results are unpredictable and competing with big-budget apps feels impossible. Has anyone found a way to make it work?

Trying to upload an iOS26 app archive with Xcode 26 beta 7 and getting ITMS-90717: Invalid large app icon, meaning my app is not eligible for TestFlight testing. My App contains an IconComposer .icon asset, so I'm not sure what it's complaining about. I'm not seeing anything in the release notes about this, and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not.

Since the app was submitted on September 3, it has been stuck in the "in review" status for more than 7 days without being rejected, without further information updates, and without any other feedback. We can't delay any longer, the lack of progress is disrupting our plans. Please inform us immediately on how to proceed or upgrade the review. We contact the Apple review team almost every day (via email), but there is no clear reason for the response. This makes us feel frustrated while waiting for feedback, and at the same time, our users cannot wait any longer.

Dear all, This is my first post in this forum - and, in fact, my first app, too! I'm glad to be here, and thanks in advance for your help. I'm looking to offer an app for a one-time payment. I'd also like people to be able to try the app for a week. It seems that the "Pricing and Availability" section in App Store Connect is not the right place to configure this kind of offer. It does allow me to set a one-time price, but I cannot find a trial-period there (or am I missing something?) Two different strategies seem possible here: Using in-app-purchases: make the actual app free, but ask users after a week to buy a non-consumable IAP. The problem with that: I need to verify that the app has been installed for seven days ... even if it has been uninstalled at some point. Using subscriptions: There is a "free trial" option for subscriptions. But after that free trial, subscriptions are being payed periodically. I'd rather have the user only pay once for lifetime-access. Some apps seem to use strategy 1 - I believe the "Lap swim" app does. But still it seems like a bit of a hack - is there a more elegant way to achieve this?

App store connect shows proceeds of Rs. 118.05 for a price of Rs 199 which is 60% cut instead of the usual 30%. Why?

I want to test the "Remove from Sale" scenario in Sandbox. I set my subscription to "Remove from Sale" for all territories in App Store Connect, but I can still make new purchases and auto-renewals continue in the Sandbox environment. Is this a known limitation? Or is there a specific way to make this work for testing? If it can't be tested, I'd like to know the expected production behavior. What changes occur in the App Receipt and what App Store Server Notification is sent?

App Store Connect rejects the build with the following error: Please correct the following issues and upload a new binary to App Store Connect. ITMS-90058: This bundle is invalid - The value for key CFBundleVersion [iphoneos] in the Info.plist file must be a period-separated list of at most three non-negative integers.

I am trying to validate my update for my app to be ready for iOS 26 with the new Icon Composer .icon file. Everywhere I read says that the old AppIcon in the assets folder wouldnt be used and to just drop the .icon file in the project navigator and link it properly. I do that and its still asking for a .png file; I add the 1024x1024 .png file and its still not working. I am very lost and dont know where to go from here I have both the .icon and .png app icons in there. My app deployment target is at iOS 26, Xcode Project format 16.3 (I dont see 26 so assuming 16.3 is the highest). I feel I have done all the things, and advice? Thanks in advance!

I'm looking to learn from others in the community. Please share any effective tips, hacks, or approaches you've used to boost app visibility and downloads through App Store SEO. Insights on keywords, descriptions, or metadata optimization are especially welcome.

My iOS 26 app submited this morning and set manual release. My app review is submission completed 30 minutes ago (I received email), But now, App Store Connect stayed 「In Review」status.

Will RC be allowed to upload to App Store Connect? I have tried a couple of times with 17A321 and I keep getting unsupported SDK or Xcode version. Submitted feedback FB20178551
