White Label Apps in Regulated Industries
My agency has had its submission rejected as we’ve created an app for a client in a highly regulated industry, and we attempted to publish on the agency account. In such a sector, it needs to be published on a developer account owned by the regulated service provider. I’m planning to scale this out to lots of similar businesses, and I’m reluctant to take on managing many dev accounts and getting access to an email address on their domain for the purposes of enrolment. Can anyone suggest an alternative approach?

Accepting Agreements - Legal Role
What are the options for having more than one person able to accept agreements? It seems implausible to me that a corporation with thousands of employees, hundreds of apps with millions of users is reliant on a single personal accepting an updated agreement to continue functioning. Everything I can find suggests this is indeed the case however. My staff have various suggestions for us to 'get around' this and the 2FAC log in process to share an account, but 'getting around' something wouldn't be my preferred option. Thanks in advance if you can help.

Enrollment Process Takes Months NO UPDATE
I have been trying to complete my enrollment for the past three months, but I keep encountering an issue when uploading my payment information. Despite using three different cards (debit and credit) and a Revolut card, all valid and with sufficient funds, I still see this message: "To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now. Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process." I have opened support tickets weekly but have not received any response. Additionally, the person who was previously assisting me has stopped responding. Can someone please help resolve this issue urgently? Thank you,

Bundling a daemon in a multi service app
Hello, We have a cross platform (android, iOS) app that consists of two components: A GUI built in React Native The business logic for the GUI built in golang The golang part is launched as a sub-process from the React Native part and communicates via gRPC. The golang part is also responsible for communicating with our servers. We offer a subscription plan managed by stripe. We want to deploy the app to the Apple Store, and have the following questions: Is it allowed to bundle the daemon (the golang part) in the React Native app part, as part of one app? We have the following mentions: the permissions of the app as a whole will be the superset of permissions needed for the two components. The app contains an email service along other things (file storage, address book, etc.). Is it ok according to Apple Store guildelines that the app periodically uses the daemon to retrieve new emails from our servers? How about that it bundles multiple services under one app? Do we need to support in app purchases, or is it ok to continue charging through stripe, or both? We want the app to be available in the EU/EEA, UK, and US, but preferably globally, is there anything we need to consider for this?

Our account is suspended and there is no explanation
We recently received an email about our account suspension but the reason is not clear in the email. We don't know what is the reason behind this and we can't get any response from the Contact page. Email: "This letter serves as notice of termination of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (the “ADP Agreement”) and the Apple Developer Agreement (the “Developer Agreement”) between you and Apple effective immediately. Pursuant to Section 3.2(f) of the ADP Agreement, you agreed that you would not “commit any act intended to interfere with any of the Apple Software or Services, the intent of this Agreement, or Apple’s business practices including, but not limited to, taking actions that may hinder the performance or intended use of the App Store, Custom App Distribution, TestFlight, Xcode Cloud, Ad Hoc distribution, or the Program…” Apple has good reason to believe that you violated this Section due to documented indications of fraudulent conduct associated with your account."

Can't see Apps After New License Agreement
When I tried to submit one of my apps for review this morning, I received an alert that I needed to accept the new Developer License Agreement first, which I did. After accepting the agreement however, it still doesn't let me submit or even see my apps in App Store Connect - instead indicating that I need to accept the license agreement (which I already have). Anyone else experiencing anything like this or know how I can address?

Un-Publish an app
Hello, We have an application within our tenant. It is still visible in the iOS and iPadOS App Store as a downloadable and usable application. However, we want to unpublish it because it is no longer managed. To do this, I have specifically subscribed to a Developer account with my account so that I can connect to App Store Connect and perform this task. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to do so because the application does not appear in my "apps." The Apps tab displays "you haven't added any apps yet. To get started, click add apps." I thought that by connecting my email enterprise address, I would be able to find the application and unpublish it, but it seems that since I was not the one who originally published it, I cannot see it. Could you help me so that I can perform this task? The person who published the app is no longer part of our company, so we cannot ask them to "transfer the rights" of the application. Thank you in advance.
