On the version page, scroll down to the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section. For more information, see Submit an In-App Purchase.

Hi, we have an app which used DeviceID to track users. We had implemented ATT and setup our privacy declaration in ASC accordingly. Now in our new version we decided to not track users anymore. We removed NSUserTrackingUsageDescription, removed ATT permission code and submitted the new version. Now, reviewer has complained that our privacy declaration in ASC still says we are tracking users and refused app acceptance. They told us to update the privacy declaration in ASC. We tried to do so, but ASC does not allow us to remove device ID tracking. It is showing a warning that our app still uses NSUserTrackingUsageDescription and in fact that is true for the production version. We are now in a chicken egg problem. We can't change our privacy declaration in ASC because the production version still uses the feature AND we do not get the new version accepted as long as our privacy declaration is not changed. How can we fix that ? Pls advise !

Well, here we go again. The subscription items are rejected because I have not submitted a binary. (Except I have, of course.) The binary is rejected because I have not submitted the IAP subscription items. (Except I have, of course.) Neither lets me submit the other again alongside it. Brilliant system.

I am the account holder. I cannot log in to App Store Connect despite having paid the $99 and being given a membership id. https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/get-started/app-store-connect-workflow "Initially, only the Account Holder can sign in to App Store Connect using the Apple Account associated with their Apple Developer Program membership." Without access to App Store Connect, I am unable to create a team. Without a team, I am unable to use XCloud. https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-your-team/overview-of-accounts-and-roles "You can manage users, add Sandbox testers, manage API keys, and manage access to the source code for Xcode Cloud in the Users and Access section of App Store Connect."

We are experiencing an issue when inviting a user to join our Apple Developer Program team through App Store Connect Users and Access. The purpose of adding this user is to include them as an internal TestFlight tester after the invitation is accepted. The invited user received the Apple Developer invitation email and clicked the "Accept invitation" link. The invitation link opens the following page: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/activation_ds?key=... The page displays "Sign in to accept your invitation" and asks the user to sign in with an Apple Account. After the user signs in successfully, the page redirects back to the same sign-in page and asks the user to sign in again. The invitation cannot be accepted, and the user cannot join the Apple Developer Program team. Steps to reproduce: Go to Users and Access in App Store Connect. Add a new user and send an invitation to join the Apple Developer Program team. The invited user receives the Apple Developer invitation email. The invited user clicks the "Accept invitation" link. The page opens appstoreconnect.apple.com/activation_ds. The user signs in with an Apple Account. After signing in, the page redirects back to the same sign-in page. Repeating the sign-in process results in the same redirect loop. Expected result: The invitation should be accepted after the user signs in, and the user should be added to the Apple Developer Program team. Actual result: The page keeps redirecting back to the sign-in page, and the user cannot accept the invitation. Troubleshooting already tried: Safari and Chrome Private browsing mode Clearing browser cookies Signing out of Apple ID before opening the invitation link again Opening the link directly in the browser instead of an email app embedded browser The issue still occurs.

Dear App Review Team, First, I must admit my mistake and sincerely apologize for wasting your time. After my app was previously rejected under Guideline 5.6, I filed an appeal, which was subsequently approved. You instructed me to submit a new binary for review. Due to an error on my part, I submitted a new version and removed the previous submission record; consequently, the new submission was not linked to the ID associated with the approved appeal. I am writing today to provide the ID for my new submission: 0760b84f-00b6-4c77-a1a3-ab9040143c06 The submission ID associated with the approved appeal was: fb5b0474-3ed0-4a38-82c8-3e7553743d1f My App Apple ID : 6764726742

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!

Hello, I'm experiencing a serious issue with my Apple Developer account. Every app I submit stays in "Waiting for Review" for more than a month. This is not happening with just one app—it affects every app I submit. Here are the details: Every submission remains in Waiting for Review for over a month. The status never changes to In Review. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support. I also submitted an Expedited Review request, but the apps are still waiting. The apps fully comply with the App Store Review Guidelines and are complete and functional. At this point, I'm trying to understand whether there could be an issue with my developer account or if there is another reason causing all of my submissions to remain stuck in the queue. Has anyone experienced the same issue recently? If an Apple engineer sees this post, I would greatly appreciate any guidance or if my account could be checked. Thank you.

Hello! After uploading a promotional image for an IAP, it appears broken in App Store Connect. We tested it with another app and encountered the same issue immediately after uploading. Could you please advise what might be causing this and how to fix it?

Hello, I am facing a critical issue with my Apple Developer Account verification process where an automated timer suspended my account despite submitting all requested documents on day one. Timeline & Details: I received a request from Apple to upload address verification documents with a 14-day deadline. I uploaded all requested documents on the very first day. While waiting for the review process to be completed on Apple's end, the 14-day window expired. Consequently, the system automatically suspended my account, disabling certificate creation and blocking development/distribution. I have open support tickets, but have not received a response yet. Case ID: 102944887663 Since this is an automated timeout caused by review delay, could someone from the Apple team please help escalate this Case ID to the Enrollment / Account Verification team? Thank you very much for your help!

Hello, I am building a developer tool and for that I need to figure out which min deployment targets users technically may still specify in their Xcode projects. This page https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode indirectly says that both Xcode 26 and Xcode 27 allow setting IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET only to iOS 15.0 and newer. Also https://developer.apple.com/news/upcoming-requirements/ now says that starting April 28 2026, the apps must be built with iOS SDK 26+, meaning only Xcode 26 and newer may be used for building the apps that go to the AppStore. However in fact in Xcode 26 I can specify older iOS deployment targets, as low as iOS 12. This post here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/805506?answerId=863871022#863871022 confirms that in fact it is possible to even submit the app to the AppStore with IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 12.0 There's also this post https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/821370?answerId=882853022#882853022 that indirectly confirms that Apple still allows iOS 12.0 deployment target. Since Xcode 26 is still allowed to build apps for the AppStore even after Xcode 27.0 release, does that mean the developers may technically be able to keep specifying iOS 12, iOS 13, iOS 14 as deployment target when submitting their apps to the AppStore without having their apps rejected?

Hello, I am writing to request assistance or an internal escalation regarding my Individual Apple Developer Program enrollment, which has been stuck in review since June 26. I opened a support ticket on July 2 (Case ID: 102929280077) and received an initial response from the eurodev queue, but I have not received any updates or requests for documentation since then. All of my account details, legal name, and payment information match my region perfectly. Because the standard processing window has passed, I would greatly appreciate it if a forum moderator or community manager could look into this case or escalate it to the enrollment team. Thank you for your time and help.

Hello Apple Developer Support, My app has been in the "Waiting for Review" status since July 3, and I am concerned because the update has not yet been reviewed. App Name: Trading Insights - AI Charts This update is important, and I would like to make it available to my users as soon as possible. So far, I have: Submitted an Expedited App Review request. Contacted Apple Developer Support regarding the delay. Unfortunately, the app is still waiting for review, and I have not received any indication of whether there is an issue with my submission. Could you please check if there is any problem with my app or my submission that is preventing the review from starting? If there is anything I need to fix or provide, I would be happy to do so immediately. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance. Thank you for your time and support. Kind regards, Jawad

I’m having an issue with the Apple Developer Program. I received a notification that the Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been updated and must be accepted in order to continue submitting and updating apps. The problem is that after signing in to my Apple Developer account, I don’t see any option to accept the new agreement. Instead, I’m shown a “Join the Apple Developer Program” screen, as if I’m not enrolled in the program, even though I have active apps on the App Store. In App Store Connect, I can see the agreement status as “Active (New Agreement Available)”, but there is no visible way to actually review or accept the updated version. Has anyone experienced a similar issue and knows how to fix it?

I have been rejected twice under Guideline 2.1(b) because my In-App Purchase subscriptions are not submitted for review. I cannot figure out how to attach them to my submission. Here is my situation: I have 6 auto-renewable subscriptions fully configured in App Store Connect under "Barrel Pro Subscriptions" — all have screenshots, pricing, descriptions, and review notes My app is iOS only, built with React Native/Expo My current version is 1.1, Build 10 (1.1.0) The problem: The "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section does not appear anywhere on my version page. I have scrolled to the very bottom and it is not there. I cannot find any way to attach my subscriptions to my submission before clicking "Submit for Review." The blue info box on the Subscriptions page says: "Your first subscription must be submitted with a new app version. Select it from the app's In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section on the version page." But that section does not exist on my version page. What I have tried: Cancelling the rejected submission and starting fresh Creating a new version (1.1) manually Uploading a new build (Build 10) Checking both "In-App Purchases" and "Subscriptions" sections in the sidebar Has Apple removed this section from the version page? How do I attach my subscriptions to my submission in 2026? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I have an internal TestFlight build for my app PewPewApp (Apple ID 6760741808). The build is processed, assigned to an internal group, and the tester invitation is accepted. The build status shows Ready to Test / Testing in App Store Connect. However, installation from TestFlight fails with: “The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” Could you please check whether there is an account-level or backend TestFlight distribution issue affecting this app/build? Thank you.

Hi all, I'm hoping someone has seen this before. My app's first submission was rejected, but I cannot find the rejection reason anywhere. What I see: The app-level status shows "Rejected". Under App Review, the submission itself still shows "In Review". There is no reviewer message / no Resolution Center message anywhere, and the in-app purchases are all marked as rejected too. The rejection email only says to visit the App Review page, but the link just opens the App Store Connect root (appstoreconnect.apple.com) with no details. What I already tried: App Store Connect on web (Safari/macOS and Firefox/Windows) and the App Store Connect iOS app — all three show the exact same state. Hard reload, private window, sign out / sign back in. Opened an App Review contact request asking for the specific reasons — no response until now. So the app is clearly rejected, but the submission status and the reviewer feedback never propagated on my end. It looks like a backend status/desync issue. Questions: Has anyone experienced this "rejected but stuck on In Review with no message" state? Where else can the rejection details appear, or is it purely a matter of waiting for the backend to sync? Roughly how long did it take to resolve for you? App: CountTally Submission ID: e9bf771c-a5a2-471f-9db4-7b7038d4ebf9 Thanks a lot for any pointers!

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.

I have a universal app available on both iOS and macOS. The macOS version appears in App Store search results and can be found normally. The iOS version has been approved and is available for download via its direct App Store link, but it does not appear in App Store search results when searching by app name. This is my first App Store release, so I’m not sure whether this is a normal indexing delay or a configuration issue. Information: Platform: iOS and macOS Direct App Store links work for both versions macOS version is searchable iOS version is not searchable Is there anything in App Store Connect that I should verify, or is there a typical delay before a newly released iOS app becomes searchable? Thank you for any guidance.

Every time I submit a new iOS build, I need to switch to each supported language and paste an update about what's new. This takes so long! Is there any way to speed up the process? Google Play translates everything automatically; why doesn't Apple do that? I hate to completely remove support for most languages but I feel like I must sacrifice user experience due to App Store Connect design.

When I sign into App Store Connect, I am taken to this URL: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/review_agree The page shows a gray activity spinner for a few seconds, then is blank. I have tried on multiple computers and multiple browsers, over the past few weeks, with the same result. I have lodged a developer support request, but it hasn’t been resolved yet. It’s been holding up our App Store submission for a couple of weeks now. Any ideas of things I could try, or has anyone else had this issue and had it resolved ?
