I have an auto-renewable subscription and added everything in IAP subscriptions and inside my app. But I still keep getting this rejection and no one responds to be question at the app review. " Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness We are unable to complete the review of the app because one or more of the in-app purchase products have not been submitted for review. Specifically, the app includes references to subscriptions but the associated in-app purchase products have not been submitted for review. Next Steps To resolve this issue, please be sure to take action and submit your in-app purchases and upload a new binary in App Store Connect so we can proceed with our review. Note you must provide an App Review screenshot in App Store Connect in order to submit in-app purchases for review. Learn more about required in-app purchase metadata. " But I have done all thse things and submitted the new binary as well. Still rejection.

I've come back to a project that last released some 8 years ago. I've updated it over the last couple of months and now I'm trying to create a new version on App Store Connect, but the button isn't there. I still have a couple of versions listed there, one in "Prepare for submission" and one in "Ready for Distribution". The one labelled as ready for distribution is actually still in the app store. There doesn't seem to be an option to delete the version I never submitted

I'm facing an issue with Xcode Cloud. Every branch I push to my GitLab repository is not appearing as selectable when I try to create a build with my workflow. Additionally, if I try to update the workflow from Xcode, it crashes every time I save the changes. Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to submit a couple of apps, one has IAP and another uses subscription. In both cases I can't submit the review information screenshot. I am using 640x920 JPG which uploads fine and even renders a preview but then the box goes red and I see "Your file couldn’t be saved. Try again. If the problem persists, contact us." I'vd tried every possible contortion of format and resolution but no success.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some help or advice regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I subscribed and paid on February 3rd, but my account is still in "Pending" status. It has been 15 days since my payment was processed. I uploaded my ID documents for verification 9 days ago and I haven't received any updates since then. Has anyone else experienced such a long wait recently? How much longer should I reasonably expect to wait for manual verification?

Hi! Our app has been rejected several times now. We first selected the "made for kids" category because that was the age recommended by apple. Everything went fine at first but now, two updated later, we are starting to get rejected. We unchecked the made for kids box but even after that we are still not getting approved. We have tried to explain our issue to apple support but they aren't giving us any good answers. Is there any way to resolve this issue? We are really in the need of help.

I am trying to submit my app for review but when I click on the 'add to review' button, I am getting the message: Unable to Add for Review The items below are required to start the review process: There are still screenshot uploads in progress. However, there is nothing I am uploading... I tried removing all screenshots, nothing works. It has been 4 days, I cant update my app on the app store... impossible to get any response from Apple... Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

With agentic coding and AI rapidly improving at solving development problems, I’m starting to question what the next three to five years will look like for iOS developers and whether manual coding will gradually disappear. I’ve been building iOS apps full time since 2013 and while I appreciate AI for speeding up workflows like unit testing, I worry that over reliance could weaken our core skills, reduce our understanding of evolving APIs, and ultimately impact our long term value and demand in the industry, does anyone else feel the same?

Waiting for over 5 business days for my app to get reviewed. My app ID is (6758764729)

"ASO in 2025 is more algorithm-driven, with a stronger focus on user engagement signals like retention and in-app actions. Keyword relevance still matters, but quality and user experience now play a bigger role in ranking boosts."

I have 9 plus years of iOS experience starting with Objective C and moving to Swift, but after 4 years in my current company with little salary growth, I am struggling to find new opportunities in a highly competitive market with fewer openings and broader skill expectations. I am unsure about the long term career path for mobile developers, concerned about compensation growth and lacking SwiftUI experience, and would appreciate guidance on what additional skills to learn to stand out and secure better opportunities.

I’ve invested heavily in developing my app, but marketing and ASO remain challenging. Despite experimenting with different keywords and tools, my rankings haven’t improved much. Is this just a matter of time?

I’m sharing my situation in case others have experienced something similar. I initially submitted my app for review on February 4, and it remained in “Waiting for Review” for over 12 days without any feedback or request for additional information. I also sent a message through App Store Connect on February 11, but did not receive a response. To help move things forward, I’ve now resubmitted an updated build with clearer onboarding, improved permission explanations, and some minor UI improvements. I included detailed notes for the reviewer explaining the changes. I’m staying patient and cooperative, but I wanted to ask if others have encountered similar delays recently, and whether resubmitting helped unblock the review. Thanks in advance for any insights 🙂

Testing with testflight the IAP work with sandbox. But Apple Review was rejected. It was explained that the IAP could not be found. I cancelled the review, added the IAP to all countries again. The IAPs are in status waiting for review. Now when preparing the version, I cannot choose anymore the IAP. I don't find the option anymore to add the IAP products on the version page. Contracts are all active and in the app for me and others it is working.

I have an iOS app that has an embedded watch app, not a stand alone app. Over on Appstore Connect there is a section for screenshots for the watch. Do I put watch screenshots there or do I put them in as part of the iPhone screen shots? The folks over at Appscreens said I can use watch screenshots showing a watch device as part of the iPhone screenshots but the watch ONLY screenshots should be JUST the screenshot, no text or device mockups... That got me thinking then that what they said would apply to stand alone watch apps. So I am confused where to put the embedded watch app screenshots?

Hi, this is my third time posting here, and opened 3 support tickets through apple developer support already (so don't ask me to open another ticket there, I have also sent them follow up). It has been more than 2 weeks and they are not even trying to respond, I have been getting issue with App Transfer it says: "You can't transfer this app because of the following reasons: App Transfers Disabled for This Account Due to irregular activity associated with your account, you cannot transfer or receive apps at this time. If you think this is an error, contact Developer Support. " I haven't received any warning or any policy violation, also I am able to upload apps for public release only App Transfer and TestFlight is having issues. Case IDs: 102817552619 20000107793589 102823905165 Please please please respond me and resolve my issue, it is hurting my business.

I had to create a new version (26.01.1) for my app in order to provide updates to the age ratings prior to the end of January, 2026. The problem is that this version wasn't production/release ready, but nonetheless I created this version to answer the updated age ratings. I now have a production ready version (26.02.1), but I do not see any way to cancel/delete this current version in order to create a new version with the 26.02.1 build I've uploaded. What are my options? Must I submit 26.01.1 for review and distribute it and then I will see the + icon to be able to create a new release?

Hello, I'm trying to submit my first auto-renewable subscription for my app, but it shows "Missing Metadata" status and I cannot identify which field is incomplete. What I've completed: ✅ Product ID and Display Name ✅ Description ✅ Price: $4.99/month for 175 countries ✅ Duration: 1 month ✅ Localization (English): Display name and description filled ✅ Review Screenshot uploaded ✅ Review Notes provided ✅ Tax Category set ✅ Paid Apps Agreement signed and active ✅ Banking and tax info complete Common issues I've already checked: ✅ Subscription is part of a subscription group (Premium Features) ✅ At least one pricing tier is configured ✅ Localization has both display name AND description ✅ Review screenshot is provided ✅ Paid Apps Agreement is active (not pending) The Problem: Subscription status: "Missing Metadata" Localization status: "Prepare for Submission" Need it to show "Ready to Submit" to include with my app My Question: What field am I missing? I've checked all visible fields but the status won't change from "Missing Metadata" to "Ready to Submit". Has anyone successfully resolved this? Thanks!

Hi Everyone 🙌 Who knows, additional content that downloads in install time are summarized to total app size in App Store page ? If yes, additional size going to WiFi/Cell download recommendations ? And what the limit ? Will be appreciate of all information, maybe someone using Background Asset extension :pray:

I see many developers struggling with ASO where AI written content does not deliver results, performance analysis is unclear, localization is ignored, App Store optimization is incomplete, and keywords are often poorly chosen. I am considering running two simple group sessions to share practical tips and show clear ways to improve ASO with real effort involved, and I would like feedback on this idea whether offered for a small fee or even for free.
