New App with Subscription Review

We are launching a new app with a subscription in-app purchase (IAP).

The Status of the IAP is "Waiting for Review". We want to submit the app to app for review, but the section to select an IAP with the app is not appearing. According to online sources, if we submit a new app for review, without selecting the IAP that goes with it, then the app may be released in the App Store without users being able to purchase the IAP. This actually happened to us years ago and I can't remember how we got around it, but it was painful. It seems strange that Apple would allow this problem to persist for years. Why not just hire an intern to fix it? Maybe because they are too busy running around in circles at the new spaceship headquarters.

Regardless, our IAP has been sitting in "Waiting for Review" status for a while now and I'm concerned it may never be approved.

Any advice would be appreciated.

This happened with the v1 of my app, and now I'm trying to fix it and release a new version. Have you had any luck figuring it out?

I got my subscription localization to be approved, but now the subscription itself says "Waiting for review" and not sure if that's a separate review that happens before I submit the entire app for review.
