Unable to link IAP Draft Submission with App Version in new App Store Connect UI — Submit button grayed out

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a frustrating issue with the new App Store Connect UI when trying to submit In-App Purchases alongside my app version.

My Situation:

  • App: Nagpur Prime Property (iOS)
  • Rejected under Guideline 2.1(b) — App Completeness
  • Reason: IAPs not submitted with the binary

What I've Done:

  • Uploaded new Build 7 (v1.0.1) ✅
  • Created 2 auto-renewable subscriptions: • Basic Plan (npp_basic_plan) — Ready for Review ✅ • Premium Plan (npp_premium_plan) — Ready for Review ✅
  • Added both to a Draft Submission (3 items total) ✅
  • Sandbox tester account added ✅

The Problem: The Draft Submission panel shows: ⚠️ "Unable to Submit for Review — To submit your items for review, add an app version for the selected platform."

The "Submit for Review" button is permanently GRAYED OUT.

The Draft Submission shows:

  • Versions column: "-" (no app version linked)
  • Items: 3 (Subscription Group + 2 subscriptions)

The App Version (Build 7) is in a SEPARATE submission showing "Ready for Review" — but there is NO UI option to link the two submissions together.

What I've Tried:

  1. Clicking "Add for Review" from Subscription Group page
  2. Clicking "Add for Review" from individual plan pages
  3. Clicking "Draft Submissions (1)" from version page
  4. Contacted Apple Review team — no solution provided
  5. Tried "Resubmit to App Review" on version — IAPs not included

Question: In Apple's new App Store Connect UI, how do you correctly link an IAP Draft Submission to an App Version submission so they can be reviewed together?

Is there a specific order of operations that needs to be followed? Or is there a known workaround for this issue?

Thank you in advance!
