"Rejected" and "Developer Action Needed" under the Subscription

The app is already release in the App Store but we notice that the products is null. And we found out that Subscriptions are "Rejected" and "Developer Action Needed". Why we are getting this errors and how we can solved it?

I faced the same problem. The process of submitting a new binary together with a new subscription is confusing. You probably submitted the subscriptions seperate from your binary. They will approve the binary and, separately, check if they can purchase the subscriptions.

What you need to do is—when submitting a new binary—add the subscription to the binary on the app information page (where you can enter release notes etc.). This, however, is only possible for IAPs that are in status "Ready to submit" (others do not appear).

For me, I could not clear the status "Developer Action Needed" from the subscription. Indeed, I could slightly change the translations of the localizations of the subscription "Ready to submit" again. This, however, won't clear the "Developer Action Needed" flag from the subscription itself. This looks like a bug within App Store Connect to me. There is a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=865YTXKl0-w) where the "Submit for Review" button is slammed. Even if that might work, it's not what you want at all.

The solution for me was to create a new subscription and do not click the "Submit for Review" button within the subscription (That would throw you down the rabbithole again). Instead add that new subscription to the binary. When submitting the binary, the new subscriptions will automatically switch to "Waiting for Review".

Just edit the description, click on the language name adjacent to the "REJECTED" indicator. If you prefer not to change the content, just append a space at the end of the Display Description, visible only to Apple. Once saved, the "REJECTED" status will switch to "PENDING," allowing you to proceed.
