I am working on getting my app onto the Apple app store. I am working on the review process but every time I send the app its gets rejected saying metadata rejected. I looked through everything and the only thing that I could find was that the IAP is saying that developer action is needed. When I look one of them the error is in Localizations there is a red dot beside each the languages. All of the IAP are consumables that the player can buy for in-game currency. Do I need to add all of the languages that the app supports or am I missing something else?

Here is an image of what they look like right nowhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/zzov17zi684ial3/IAP.PNG?dl=0

Also in the resolution center, Apple has sent me a message saying that my app is in violation of the app store review guidelines. But I have read over the guidelines and I am not violating any of them. Is this because of the IAP or is it something else?

Thanks!

What exactly did App Review say regarding your violation of review guidelines?

Thanks for the reply!

The message that I got was:

This type of app has been identified as one that may violate one or more of the following App Store Review Guidelines. This is all the guidelines that got listed

1.1.6, 2.3.0, 2.3.1, 3.1.1, 3.2.1, 4.3.0, 5.2.1, 5.2.3 and 5.3.4

But I have gone through them all and I don't see how the app will violate any of those guidelines.

They also said this

Before we can continue with our review, please confirm that this app does not violate any of the above guidelines. You may reply to this message in Resolution Center or the App Review Information section in App Store Connect to verify this app’s compliance.

Given the tendency for apps of this type to violate the aforementioned guidelines, this review will take additional time. If at any time we discover that this app is in violation of these guidelines, the app will be rejected and removed from the App Store, and it may result in the termination of your Apple Developer Program account.

Should you choose to resubmit this app without confirming this app’s compliance, the next submission of this app will still require a longer review time. Additionally, this app will not be eligible for an expedited review until we have received your confirmation.

So App Review thinks there is something about your app that is suspicious not just guideline 2.1 mentioned in your other post. What do you think that might be? In order to get an informed response on this forum you would have to disclose the possible seed of App Review's concern and you have not. So tell us - gambling? copyright? trick jokes? hidden features? unusual business model? third identical spam app? audio/video links?

There must be something that triggered their concern - App Review knows it; you know it; tell us.

Assuming there is no such issue then follow App Review's advice and "...confirm that this app does not violate any of the above guidelines. You may reply to this message in Resolution Center or the App Review Information section in App Store Connect to verify this app’s compliance."

I made the app in unity. There is no gambling in the game. There are just IAP and ads. The IAP can only be used to buy characters, and the ads can only be used to continue where the player left off. All of the art and Audio that is used I bought so there are no copyright issues. There are no trick jokes in the app either. The app does not access any of the phones features like the microphone or camera. And the app itself has no hidden features, like hidden code that would access the user private info. The only link that can be accessed is to my social media pages: Instagram Facebook and Twitter. There are no links to things like video or audio. Hope this helps.

Thanks!

That (with perhaps one issue - see *** below) sounds like a great confirmation and appeal of the rejection.

"...confirm that this app does not violate any of the above guidelines. You may reply to this message in Resolution Center or the App Review Information section in App Store Connect to verify this app’s compliance."

Good luck!

*** "and the ads can only be used to continue where the player left off." What does that mean????
