Is a Read-Only GET Request Without User Data Considered ‘No Data Collection’?
Hi everyone, My iOS app performs only a GET request to an external server to receive a JSON with configuration data (e.g., app settings). It does not send any personal data — it's a read-only request used only to adjust app behavior. Since the app only performs a GET request to the server and does not send any data from the user, no data is collected or stored. In App Store Connect > App Privacy, is it correct to select: "No, we do not collect data from this app"? Just want to confirm this is acceptable before submitting. Thanks!

ITMS-91109: Invalid package contents
Hi fellow developers, I built Video Restore AI which uses a number of models with CoreML on macOS to provide simple one-blick video upscaling and colorization. After uploading my archive, I received the following notification through email. ITMS-91109: Invalid package contents - The package contains one or more files with the com.apple.quarantine extended file attribute, such as “{com.kammerath.VideoRestore.pkg/Payload/Video Restore AI.app/Contents/Resources/ECCV16Colorize.mlmodelc/weights/weight.bin}”. This attribute shouldn’t be included in any macOS apps distributed on TestFlight or the App Store. Starting February 18, 2025, you must remove this attribute from all files within your macOS app before you can upload to App Store Connect. How do I deal with this? Is there a way to get Apple to just accept the model contents or do I need to convert it again with coremltools? Many thanks in advance! Jan

Updating developer name on the App Store
Hi everyone, I made a mistake when submitting my first app and accidentally set my developer name as the app name instead of my business name. Now all my apps show the wrong developer name on the App Store. Apple support said it can't be changed after the first app, but I've seen some posts mentioning people got it changed through support. Has anyone successfully changed their developer name after initial setup? Is closing the account and starting fresh the only real option? Really don't want to lose my app's reviews and ratings. Any experiences or advice would be appreciated! Thanks

Paid Apps Agreement Not Showing UP
In https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/business I only see the Free Apps Agreement which I already accepted, but the Paid Apps Agreement is not there. I am the account holder and already signed the new Apple Developer Program License Agreement, so those are not the reasons for this issue. I need to find and accept the Paid Apps Agreement because I have a subscription app on testflight which I want to publish to app store soon. Thanks in advance!

App Review Needed? - US External Payments: Dynamic Switch to Stripe
My app uses Apple IAP. With the recent US external payment changes (May 2025), I plan to use Stripe via Superwall. Superwall allows me to remotely toggle my paywall for US users between Apple IAP and Stripe checkout without a new app build. Is it permissible to activate Stripe for new US users on an already live app version (approved with only Apple IAP) without first submitting a new build for Apple to review the Stripe integration? Or does this dynamic switch create a risk of takedown/compliance problems? Concerned about new users hitting an unreviewed Stripe flow during any potential review period for a new build. Seeking clarity on Apple's stance or community experiences. Thanks!

I cannot choose in-app purchases in new build (I withdrew previous build)
Hello, I submitted my mobile game to the App Store with in-app purchase items. I initially sent my in-app purchases for review for the first time. I had fixed a bug before and thought I could submit a new build with the fix. (Before too much time has passed)I withdrew the previous build and re-submitted the new one. Now, I cannot select in-app purchase items in the new build, and the in-app purchases are still in “Waiting for Review.” Did they get stuck? It has been one day. Even if the in-app purchases get approved, I am unable to choose them in the new build.

App stuck 'In Review' over 72+ hours
My app has been stuck 'in review' for 72+ hours. The last thing i got from the App Review team was an email saying "One or more In-App Purchases has been returned." This was the second time i've gotten this email. I feel like the people reviewing my app stops after testing my paywall and doesn't proceed with reviewing the rest of the app. Previously, i had an issue (which has been since solved) with the app review team even reviewing my app at all (waited over 9+ days). I submitted the app for review on a Friday and it's Monday now. I'm not sure if they stop reviewing apps over the weekend. But any help to solve the issue would help
