Account-level TestFlight failure after app transfer. All apps (including brand-new, non-transferred app) fail with "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist" (Team JYHS43K259) Since receiving several apps via App Transfer, no app on my team can be installed through TestFlight. Every install attempt fails with: "Could not install [App Name]. The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." Critically, this affects not only the transferred apps but also a brand-new app created directly on this account with no transfer history. This indicates an account-level distribution problem rather than an app-record issue. Account details Account holder: BULENT TEKBAS Team ID: JYHS43K259 Account type: Individual Support case: 102936985904 — open for 5+ business days with no substantive response Affected apps Uyku Sesleri — Bundle ID: com.octo8.uykusesleri — Apple ID: 6759616379 — transferred to this account on June 13, 2026 Bekçilik Sınavı 2026 — Bundle ID: com.alhn7.bekciliksinavi2026 — Apple ID: 6756800265 — transferred July 1, 2026 VitaminD — Bundle ID: com.octo8.vitamind — Apple ID: 6768099487 — transferred July 9, 2026 Arete — Bundle ID: com.octo8.arete — created natively on this account, never transferred, currently TestFlight-only All four apps exhibit the identical install failure.

I have a localized description of an app. I'm trying to add it in App Store Connect. Every time I save a red exclamation point is displayed with no explanation. Then all my edits disappear on reload. So I try to add a different screenshot in the new language before saving. But that fails with a red exclamation point as well but this time with an explanation: "Please save new locales before uploading screenshots or previews." Well I can't because of the first failure. In the web inspector I can see the following error: "status" : "400", "code" : "PARAMETER_ERROR.REQUIRED", "detail" : "The parameter 'filter[appStoreVersion]' is required but was not provided",

Hi my app is still "Waiting for Review" since almost a week now. Is it normal? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I'm looking to see if there is a current queue backlog or if an Apple representative might be able to take a look at our status. Our game's very first external TestFlight build has been sitting in "Waiting for Review" with no movement. App Name: Pippin Plaza - 4 Player Co-op App ID: 6787434739 Version & Build: Version 1.0 (Build 2) Submitted: July 15, 2026 Current Status: Waiting for Review The Test Information metadata, contact details, and App Tracking Transparency prompts are fully detailed and filled out. Are any other indie developers experiencing multi-day TestFlight delays this week, or is this standard for a first-time external version review right now? Any insight or visibility from Apple would be deeply appreciated!

I submitted my app, PerkPulse, for review and it got rejected due to EULA agreement not being in app description, and for the subscriptions not being attached to the subscription. Currently, when I try to submit my app and two subscriptions, I get the error, "There are errors with one or more of your items. To fix them, you need to remove the items and add them again to your submission." and it highlights one of my subscriptions. This is very frustrating and is blocking me from submitting my app for review. PerkPulse Pro Annually - product ID: app.perkpulse.mobile.pro_annual_v3 PerkPulse Pro Month - product ID: app.perkpulse.mobile.pro_monthly_v3 When I open the subscription group, it shows as "In Review", but I do not see any option for removing it from review so that I can attach my subscriptions. I have also had a phone call with apple support and could not get the issue resolved. I have: Deleted and recreated the subscriptions Checked all input fields, agreements to sign, etc. and cannot find an empty field Removed and re-added the subscriptions to draft submission Please any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm looking for advice from other developers who may have experienced unusually long App Review times. Here is my situation: • I submitted five apps on March 2, 2026. • They remained in Waiting for Review until the end of April. • They have now been In Review for several months. • I also submitted CampusGo Connect on May 14, 2026, and it is still Waiting for Review. I have contacted Apple Developer Support several times. They confirmed that my apps are still in the review process, but there have been no updates or requests for additional information. I have also verified that my Apple Developer Program membership is active, all agreements are accepted, and my App Store Connect account is functioning normally. Has anyone experienced review times this long? If so: • How long did your review eventually take? • Was there anything you did that helped? • Is there anything else I should try besides continuing to work with Developer Support? Thank you for any advice.

Hello, I have a problem with the Retention Message API. The default message is not displayed to users when they try to cancel their subscription in the device's Settings app. The API configuration was made with Revenue Request. The request to use this API was approved by Apple for our account. After configuring it for the Sandbox environment, everything worked as expected the image and text were displayed to users. Later, I applied the same configuration to the Production environment. I received the Approved status for the message, but after purchasing the subscription from the App Store, although I can see the subscription in Settings, the retention message is not displayed when I attempt to cancel it. I have tried different Apple accounts from different regions (both EU and non-EU) and tested from physical locations without using a VPN. Also, for clarification, we do not use real-time communication only the default retention message. For additional information: I also tried configuring this message from App Store Connect, as shown in WWDC 2026, but this section is not available under the Subscriptions category. When I deactivate and then reactivate the message, I notice that the deactivated state shows the text status "Waiting for sync (0/9)", while the active state shows "Approved". All other assets have an Approved state. In my case, the message is configured for all subscription types without any filters or other restrictions. What could be causing this problem, and how can I fix it? It seems that the issue is not on my side.

Hello, We are experiencing an issue with App Store Connect and would like to know if anyone has encountered the same problem. Current status: Our app is already approved and live on the App Store. We created three new auto-renewable subscriptions. All three subscriptions have been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for several days. The subscriptions can no longer be edited (localization and review information are locked). The app review has already been completed, so there is no active app review in progress. During this period, Apple System Status reported an App Store Connect incident affecting submission of In-App Purchases and subscriptions. Since that incident was resolved, the subscriptions are still stuck in Waiting for Review. We have already contacted Apple Support and App Review multiple times but have not yet received any response. Has anyone experienced subscriptions remaining permanently in "Waiting for Review" after the App Store Connect maintenance? Is there anything that can be done from the developer side, or does this require Apple to manually reset the review state? Thank you.

We have 7 Advanced App Clip Experiences that have been stuck showing "Received" in the App Store Connect UI for 90+ days. However, after inspecting the underlying API response, we can confirm all 7 experiences show "key": "PUBLISHED", "doc_count": 7 on the backend. Despite this, scanning a QR code on a device without the app installed returns "App Clip Unavailable" on every experience. This appears to be a CDN propagation failure — the backend is PUBLISHED but the edge nodes serving iOS devices are returning stale or missing data. Evidence – – App Clip Diagnostics tool shows all green checks for our registered experience URLs (screenshots attached) – App Store Connect UI shows "Received" for all 7 experiences – Backend API response (/appclips/api/v1/experiences) shows: json"statuses": { "buckets": [ { "key": "PUBLISHED", "doc_count": 7 } ] } – iOS devices without the app installed still return "App Clip Unavailable" when scanning QR codes – App version 1.4(6) is live and Ready for Distribution – AASA file is correctly configured and verified – Bundle ID com.goodtrkr.pixlbankar.Clip is correctly associated. Business Impact – This is a production blocker for our AR platform (PixlBank[ar] — Good TRKR LLC). Our entire product delivery depends on App Clip invocation via QR code for enterprise clients. We have been engaged with Apple DTS for 90+ days: TSI Case-ID: 18681098 New Case-ID: 18880040 Feedback Assistant report filed with diagnostic screenshots and sysdiagnose provided no help. REQUEST –  Can an Apple DTS engineer confirm whether there is a known CDN propagation issue affecting App Clip Experiences that are in PUBLISHED state on the backend but not being served correctly to iOS devices? And if so, is there a way to trigger a cache flush or re-propagation for our specific experiences?

StoreKit getProducts returns 0 subscriptions on TestFlight for product IDs vytalai_premium_monthly, vytalai_premium_yearly, vytalai_premium_yearly_intro (bundle com.ciborgu.vytalai, build 112+). All metadata submitted, Paid Apps Agreement active. Please check why Sandbox catalog is empty for this app.

Hi all — hoping someone from the App Review team can help with this. App: ContentCam: Dual Camera Video (App ID 1281521467) Submitted two auto-renewable subscriptions (Annual + Monthly) under subscription group "ContentCam Premium" over a week ago (App version 2.0 as well as 2.0.1). App version 2.0 and 2.0.1 was reviewed and approved independently. The subscriptions have not moved from "Waiting for Review" despite the binary being approved. No rejection message, no metadata flag, nothing actionable showing on my end. This matches reports I've seen from other developers here: once an app version is rejected and later resubmitted/approved, the attached subscriptions can get stuck in "Waiting for Review" indefinitely, disconnected from the binary review outcome. I've contacted Apple Developer Support (case open, no resolution yet). Posting here in case this needs engineering visibility, or if anyone has a workaround that's actually worked (not just "wait" or "resubmit a new build" — already tried the latter with no effect). Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Reporting an active production issue in case anyone else is seeing the same pattern, or has insight into what could cause this. Symptom As of 2026-05-09 morning, one specific auto-renewable subscription product is silently absent from Production StoreKit responses on our live App Store build. The product is still 'Approved' in App Store Connect, all metadata is intact, no error code is returned — the product simply does not appear in the products array. The other 3 products in the same subscription group continue to work normally. 100% of production users are affected. Setup App: live on App Store, version 1.0.0 (build 8) Subscription group with 4 auto-renewable products: standard_monthly_799 ✅ returns correctly standard_annual_6999 ✅ returns correctly unlimited_monthly_1299 ❌ MISSING from production response unlimited_annual_9999 ✅ returns correctly SDK: purchases_flutter (RevenueCat) → StoreKit Same physical device, same code, same RC config behaves correctly in Sandbox — all 4 products are returned and a sandbox purchase of unlimited_monthly_1299 succeeds. Timeline 2026-05-08: working correctly, purchases succeeding normally 2026-05-09 morning: product silently disappears from production StoreKit responses No app update was submitted between those dates No App Store Connect changes were made Onset was simultaneous across all production users at one timestamp What I've verified App Store Connect: Product status: Approved All territories enabled, all prices configured (no N/A in any territory) Subscription group correctly contains all 4 products No 'Submit for Review' pending changes Product attached to live app version 1.0.0 (8) Tax category: Match to parent app Family Sharing: Off (consistent with the working products) Paid Applications Agreement: Status: Active Banking and Tax forms: Active RevenueCat dashboard: All 4 products show Store Status: Approved Default offering contains all 4 packages iOS attachment for the affected product is intact No warnings or sync errors Sandbox StoreKit (today): flutter run (debug) on physical device → all 4 products returned flutter run --release on physical device → all 4 products returned Sandbox purchase of unlimited_monthly_1299 succeeds Production StoreKit (today, broken): App Store-downloaded 1.0.0 (8) on multiple users' devices Multiple Apple IDs / multiple devices / multiple regions — all reproduce Only unlimited_monthly_1299 affected; other 3 products fine Why this looks server-side Sudden simultaneous onset across all users No code or config change preceded onset Sandbox unaffected, only Production affected Single product affected, not the whole subscription group or app No error returned — silent omission only Cannot reproduce with locally signed builds, only with App Store-distributed binary This pattern is consistent with a server-side product indexing or fronting issue specific to one product in Production StoreKit. As a developer I don't have visibility into Apple's product-serving infrastructure to investigate further — looking for guidance from anyone who has seen this before. Questions for the community Has anyone else seen a single auto-renewable subscription silently drop out of Production StoreKit responses while remaining Approved in ASC, with no error code returned? Is there any internal product-state flag (beyond what's exposed in the ASC UI) that could cause Production StoreKit to silently omit a product? Anything similar to a hidden 'review hold' or 'price tier reconciliation' state? Has the asymmetry between RevenueCat package identifiers (Standard uses RC's $rc_monthly/$rc_annual default identifiers, Premium uses custom premium_monthly/premium_annual identifiers) ever been implicated in this kind of failure? RC support has been notified, but worth asking publicly. For anyone who has resolved a similar issue: what action ended up clearing it — ASC re-save, RC re-sync, Apple Support escalation, or did it self-resolve after Apple-side cache propagation? Filings in progress ASC Contact Us ticket: filed Apple DTS technical incident: filed RevenueCat support ticket: filed Feedback Assistant report: in progress Will update this thread with the resolution path once we have one. Thanks, — Kin Pong Lo (developer, Alice: AI English Tutor)

Hey, My app "Machko OTT" (Apple ID: 6778678181, Submission ID: bf9c82cb-52c7-4735-9c94-592ebe38eb76) has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" since July 7 at 4:07 PM, with no update since. Some background: I originally submitted the app for review on June 10 at 5:50 PM. On June 29, I removed it from review, assuming there was a glitch since it was taking far longer than usual. I later re-submitted, but it's now been stuck again with no movement. I also contacted Apple Support directly — they told me I'd get a response within 2 business days. That deadline has now passed with no email reply either. At this point, my app has effectively been pending publication for almost a month. Any guidance on how to escalate this or get an update would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Like others my app submission has been stuck in “waiting for review” for weeks. I know initial app reviews take longer than updates, but this has been delayed far too long and makes me concerned about repeating the process in the future. I submitted this app for review back on Feb 10. It was initially rejected for a minor issue, which I resolved and resubmitted the same day. After that, the build remained in “Waiting for Review” for about two weeks with no further communication. At that point I canceled the submission and resubmitted the build, thinking it may have been stuck in the queue (I now know not to do this next time). Unfortunately the new submission has also been waiting for review for another 9 days now with no messages or updates. I’ve contacted app review support as well (case ID- 102826632729). I understand review times can vary, but delays like this make it difficult for developers to plan launches or push updates when the review process is the only path to distributing apps. As paying members of the Apple Developer Program, we rely heavily on this pipeline functioning reliably. Hoping this post will reach someone from Apple who can help move the process along. If any other devs have suggestions/tips that have worked for them, please share so others in this position can become unblocked. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm the developer of FOS Social (Apple ID: 6755471015), a creator-membership marketplace currently in TestFlight. I've submitted the Advanced Commerce API access request form twice and have not received any response, confirmation, or status update. My most recent submission has Request ID: UVQ7FUZVV3. Our use case: FOS Social is a social platform where viewers subscribe to individual content creators through independent auto-renewable monthly subscriptions across three tiers ($10 / $17 / $29). A single viewer must be able to hold concurrent active subscriptions to multiple creators at the same tier — for example, subscribed to Creator A at Gold and Creator B at Gold simultaneously. This matches Apple's stated eligibility model for the Advanced Commerce API: "exceptionally large catalogs of subscription content — apps that include frequently added content from multiple creators, where each creator's offering is merchandised as a single auto-renewable subscription." Why standard StoreKit doesn't work for us: We currently reuse one product ID per tier across all creators (e.g. com.fosssocial.creator.gold.monthly). When a viewer already subscribed to one creator at Gold tries to subscribe to a second creator at Gold, StoreKit returns "already subscribed" and treats it as a renewal rather than a new independent subscription. Pre-creating a separate subscription group per creator in App Store Connect is not feasible since our creator base is dynamic and growing. My questions: Is there any way to check the status of an Advanced Commerce API access request, or a typical response timeframe we should expect? Is there anything that commonly causes these requests to go unanswered (e.g. submission not made by the Account Holder, app still in TestFlight, missing information)? Is there a recommended escalation path when the request form has been submitted multiple times with no reply? I've also opened a support case (Case ID: 102934491974) but wanted to ask here as well in case anyone from the community or Apple has guidance. Thank you!

My developer account is a US single-member LLC owned by a non-US individual. The LLC is a disregarded entity with a valid EIN. App Store Connect only shows me the W-9 workflow. But the IRS instructions for W-9 say: ▎ "If the owner of a disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9" So I legally cannot submit a W-9. I need the W-8BEN workflow enabled. Apple Finance told me all US legal entities must complete a W-9, then suggested I get an EIN (I have one) or change my address. When I sent the IRS guidance, they said their system can't make the change and forwarded it to the tax team. That was May 14 (Case-ID 19771345). Over 15 business days later: no reply, no timeline, and my paid agreement is still inactive. My business is on hold. Has anyone with a foreign-owned single-member US LLC gotten the W-8BEN workflow enabled? Is there any escalation path beyond iTSPayments and the Finance contact form? Both have gone quiet.

Hello Apple team. I have change my app thumbnails some weeks ago. But I've actively been experiencing in my own phone, appstore or friends appstore that the thumbanils shown are from 4 o 6 versions ago. Example This 2 screenshots are from today, same hour. One from my computer, the appstore one from my phone. The phone screenshot its showing very old thumbnails. If you see on my apple account. The phone screenshots thumbnails doesn't exist there anymore. I really need help on this.

So I've got multiple apps on the App Store, one is very complex and another that is more basic. The one that is more basic continually seems to be skipped over in the review process and just sits there in waiting for review (currently been there waiting for a week), while the other gets reviewed within 24 hours. I'm grateful the more complex one clears quickly as I am making several updates each week, but I need the other to clear in a timely manner as well. This is not the first time with this particular app and starting to wonder if there is some issue with the intended audience. I sincerely hope that is not the case. Thank you App Review folks, I know you're swamped, but can you please look into this seemingly repeating issue and let me know why the hold up on this one app I'm particular?

Hello, I need to set up the Paid Apps agreement in App Store Connect (to offer in-app purchases), but I don't see any button or link to request it. In App Store Connect under Business (Agreements, Tax, and Banking) I only see the Free Apps agreement as Active. There is no "View and Agree to Terms" banner and no option to add or activate the Paid Apps agreement anywhere. What I already checked: I'm signed in as the Account Holder (not Admin or another role). The Apple Developer Program membership is active and paid. I tried both the new "Business" section and the old "Agreements, Tax, and Banking" page — no Paid Apps row, no request button. Tried different browsers and clearing cache, same result. Questions: What conditions must be met for the Paid Apps agreement option to appear for an account? Is there a known delay or eligibility/verification step (e.g., for individual accounts or specific regions) before it shows up? Is contacting Apple Developer Support the only way to resolve this, or is there something I can do myself in the account? Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Hi all, Hoping someone has run into this or has advice. My App Store Connect account is registered as an Individual, with the legal entity/account holder under my name. I added a bank account, but the Account Holder Name on that bank account belongs to a different person than the name on my developer agreement. That other person and I are both Admins on the same App Store Connect team. It's now been well past the standard 24-hour processing window, and the bank account is still showing "Processing," with the usual banner: "Your banking updates are processing, and you should see the changes in 24 hours. You won't be able to make any additional updates until then." Separately, my Canadian GST/HST Form 506 also shows "Missing Tax Info," and my Paid Apps Agreement is "Pending User Info," so I suspect these two issues may be related/compounding. Questions: Has anyone successfully gotten Apple to approve a bank account where the Account Holder Name doesn't match the developer account's legal entity name, when both people are Admins on the same team? If not, has anyone been able to get Apple to cancel/reset a stuck bank account submission so they could resubmit under the correct account holder name? I can't edit it myself while it shows "Processing." Any luck getting a timely response from the Financial Information contact form specifically, versus general Developer Support (which just redirected me to documentation)? Appreciate any insight trying to avoid this dragging on for weeks like I've seen in a few other threads here. Thanks!
