Same issue: subscription group stuck on "must be submitted with a subscription of the same group" despite correct config

I'm having the exact same issue. My app has 2 subscription groups, each with 2 auto-renewable subscriptions (monthly and yearly duration) — 4 products total, all in "Ready to Submit" status.

The error I keep getting when trying to submit the first group together with the app version is:

"New subscription groups must be submitted with an auto-renewable subscription of that same group"

What I've already verified/tried:

  • Full metadata on each subscription: reference name, pricing, localizations (display name + description) in two languages, review screenshot
  • Added the individual subscription products (not the group) to the submission draft from each product's own page
  • Draft correctly shows the app version + all subscriptions grouped together under "Suscripciones (4)"
  • Set both durations (monthly/annual) to the same subscription level within each group, as suggested in another thread — no change
  • Recreated the subscriptions from scratch with entirely new Product IDs — same error
  • Tried different browsers, incognito mode, hard refresh
  • Paid Applications Agreement is Active, no pending agreements

The error persists regardless of what I try. Has anyone found what actually resolved this beyond the subscription level fix? Or is this something only Apple can unblock from their side?

So what i learnt was the following

  1. add app for review but don’t hit submit for review. The draft is created at this point.
  2. goto all of your in app and subscription records and also add to review and add them one by one to draft created.
  3. once all the entries are in the draft you should be able to then submit.
