Hello Apple Developer Community and App Store Commerce team,
I am looking for guidance on the review workflow for the first In-App Purchases of my app, Capture Link: UVC Monitor (Apple App ID: 6818688239).
The first IAPs were submitted on October 5, 2026:
- Monthly auto-renewable subscription (Apple IAP ID: 6818721468)
- Non-consumable lifetime unlock (Apple IAP ID: 6818721648)
- Subscription group (ID: 22435932)
Our macOS app (1.0, Build 16) is approved and Ready for Distribution. The current iPadOS app (1.0, Build 17) and both IAPs still show Waiting for Review on November 6. We verified in App Store Connect that the iPadOS review submission submitted November 3 contains the app version, monthly subscription, lifetime unlock, and subscription group. The current statuses show no rejection or developer action required for these items.
The Paid Apps Agreement is active, banking is available, tax documents are in use, and IAP metadata and review screenshots have been supplied. We received confirmation of an expedited app review request on November 2. A production user has reported that purchase options cannot be loaded. I understand from an App Store Commerce Engineer reply that unapproved IAPs are not returned to production StoreKit.
My questions:
- Given that the four items are included in the iPadOS review submission, is there any other first-IAP submission requirement we may have missed?
- Is this combination of states expected while iPadOS Build 17 is still Waiting for Review, or could it indicate a review workflow issue?
- What diagnostics or details would help Developer Support distinguish a normal queue delay from a stuck first-IAP workflow without withdrawing the existing submission?
I have opened formal support inquiries and am seeking technical guidance here rather than requesting a separate expedited review.
Thank you for any insight.
