Hi everyone,
I’m currently stuck in a review loop related to in-app subscriptions and would really appreciate some advice.
Here’s what’s happening:
My app uses Apple’s in-app subscription system (auto-renewable).
When I submit the app, it gets rejected because there are no active/approved subscription plans available for purchase.
But the subscription plans themselves are also rejected or kept under review because the app isn’t approved yet.
So I’m in a loop where:
The app approval depends on the subscription approval, and the subscription approval depends on the app approval.
I’ve been stuck in this situation for about a month now, and I can’t move forward.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Displayed a message on the subscriptions screen saying that “No plans are available right now.”
Displayed the plans as UI only, and when users try to subscribe, it shows a message like “Plans are currently under review, please try again later.”
Despite these attempts, the app still gets rejected with the same reason — that the in-app purchases are not available or not functioning properly.
My question is:
How can I break out of this loop?
1-Hide all subscription plans until approval? 2-Allow users to access a plan for free (without using Apple’s in-app purchases)? 3-Or take some other action?
Thanks in advance!
