Hi everyone,

We are currently facing an issue in our App Store Connect account where all of our production apps are suddenly showing the status “Removed from Sale.”

This happened unexpectedly, and:

We did NOT make any manual changes to app availability No recent app rejections or guideline violations were received Agreements, Tax & Banking section shows no pending actions TestFlight builds are still working fine

We also have not received any clear communication from Apple explaining the reason for this.

This is affecting all our live apps and impacting business operations.

Has anyone else faced a similar issue recently? Could this be related to account-level restrictions or any recent policy updates?

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I had a couple of software titles that were 'Removed from Sale' subsequently after they were 'Ready for Distribution' back in March 5th. I reported this issue here. I also contacted Apple Support, requesting them to find out how it happened. But there has been no explanation except that somebody wrote back and said that they were overwhelmed by a bulk of support requests. I think the support lady had said she would have somebody contact me. But I haven't heard from anyone since.

I suppose people at Apple, Inc. are overwhelmed by AI-driven people who have little or no knowledge of software development and continue to refute review rejection a few dozen times. So I just sit and wait till the storm is gone.
