Hi all, I'm looking for guidance on getting my app back on sale. I've done everything I know to do and I'm not sure what step I'm missing. Details below. Timeline: Aug 16: The app was removed from sale through App Store Notices (ref APP265997). Sept: I renamed the app with a new name, icon, and listing, which was the agreed resolution. Oct 2: Apple lifted the submission hold. Oct 5: The other party confirmed to App Store Notices that the matter is closed and the app can be restored. Oct 7: Version 1.0.4 was approved. App Store Connect shows it as "Ready for Distribution," but the version page also shows a banner: "This app was removed from sale from the App Store." The product page returns "can't be found." I've accepted all current agreements. Oct 20: I submitted 1.0.5 (Manual release). It has been in "Waiting for Review" for 8 days and hasn't moved to In Review. Oct 23: I followed up with App Store Notices and have not heard back yet. My questions: Once an App Store Notices matter is closed, is there a separate step to restore the app to sale, or does App Store Notices lift the removal on their end? Could the removal be why 1.0.5 hasn't entered review after 8 days? Is there a better contact or channel for this than the App Store Notices thread? Any guidance from Apple staff or anyone who has been through this would be a huge help. Existing users can't get the latest fixes, and new users can't find the app at all. Thank you.

Update stuck in Waiting for Review, app unavailable for sale

Hi all,

I'm looking for guidance on getting my app back on sale. I've done everything I know to do and I'm not sure what step I'm missing. Details below.

Timeline:

Aug 16: The app was removed from sale through App Store Notices (ref APP265997).
Sept: I renamed the app with a new name, icon, and listing, which was the agreed resolution.
Oct 2: Apple lifted the submission hold.
Oct 5: The other party confirmed to App Store Notices that the matter is closed and the app can be restored.
Oct 7: Version 1.0.4 was approved. App Store Connect shows it as "Ready for Distribution," but the version page also shows a banner: "This app was removed from sale from the App Store." The product page returns "can't be found." I've accepted all current agreements.
Oct 20: I submitted 1.0.5 (Manual release). It has been in "Waiting for Review" for 8 days and hasn't moved to In Review.
Oct 23: I followed up with App Store Notices and have not heard back yet.

My questions:

Once an App Store Notices matter is closed, is there a separate step to restore the app to sale, or does App Store Notices lift the removal on their end?
Could the removal be why 1.0.5 hasn't entered review after 8 days?
Is there a better contact or channel for this than the App Store Notices thread?

Any guidance from Apple staff or anyone who has been through this would be a huge help. Existing users can't get the latest fixes, and new users can't find the app at all.

Thank you.
