I have submitted my app twice, with specific documentation showcasing the termination of agreement of the original release of my game via a publisher two years ago. The original released was removed from the App Store over a year ago and the publishers App Dev account closed. I have now finally readied my game to be published by myself on the App store but keep getting rejected with this info: Your app's metadata contains content that is similar to third-party content, which may create a misleading association with another developer's app or intellectual property. Specifically, the app's description, name, and icons includes references to xxxxxx. Next Steps It would be appropriate to revise the app and metadata to remove this third-party content before resubmitting for review. If you have the necessary rights to distribute an app with this third-party content, attach documentary evidence in the App Review Information section in App Store Connect and reply to this message. ______ The App is built from MY Unity project, I have released the game on Steam, Itch, GOG and Switch over the years, but am now having to prove that this game is my own! I have supplied the termination agreement between myself and the original publisher, please help me get my game released!!!

If the AppStore fails to pass the review, please give a detailed and brief answer to the standard. I can clearly modify it here. In the returned png image, you can also specially mark which function point does not meet the requirements, so that I can make changes here, thank you!

Hi Everybody, I would like to see the feature, that allows us to limit the access for selected apps to get access to our Contacts. Especially apps like WhatsApp cannot be trusted, in my opinion, so I would love to see the possibility to prevent, that they just analyse our full Contact book and sell the data. With a limited access feature, we can at least decide, which information we wanna share with suspicious companys. What do you think and how could we reach the developers attention to get this with the next major update. Greetings from Europe

In my device (iOS 17.4.1) settings, allowing apps to request tracking is enabled. Here is my request code: if (@available(iOS 14, *)) { ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatus attStatus = [ATTrackingManager trackingAuthorizationStatus]; if(attStatus == ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined){ [ATTrackingManager requestTrackingAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:^(ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatus status) { if (status == ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusAuthorized) { NSLog(@"iOS14, ATT enabled"); [FBAdSettings setAdvertiserTrackingEnabled:YES]; NSLog(@"iOS14, ATT enabled, FBAdSettings setAdvertiserTrackingEnabled:YES successed"); } else if (status == ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusDenied) { NSLog(@"iOS14, ATT disabled"); [FBAdSettings setAdvertiserTrackingEnabled:NO]; NSLog(@"iOS14, ATT disabled, FBAdSettings setAdvertiserTrackingEnabled:NO successed"); } UnitySendMessage("StoreKitListener", "OnRequestATTPermissionFinished", [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", (int)status] cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]); }]; } } else { UnitySendMessage("StoreKitListener", "OnRequestATTPermissionFinished", [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", 3] cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]); } When attStatus == ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined, requestTrackingAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler will be called. Afterwards, status == ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatusDenied is received, and at the same time, I can see the permission request popup.

We have submitted a legal dispute 2,5 weeks ago for the App name we have a trademark for and is in use in the App Store. The business owning the name currently doesn't exsist anymore and the e-mail contact is also not reachable. There has been no update from Apple but with the company not exsisting anymore there shouldn't be an issue with us taking back the name without action from the current (not exsisting) owner right? Does anyone have an idea for how long we will need to wait for?

I created a app titled "Tsundue" on app store. It was approved and was on apple app store. For first few day when i search the name it was easy to find. Then i was not able to find it , i contacted the apple help support but they assure me that the app was still in app store. I created more update and include many key words hoping it will work but to no avail. My friends in India say that they see it on App store, but here in US i can not. I can only find the app using develper name in search field but can not find it with the app name. Can anyone help me or give me guidance. Thanks in advance.

Hi I am recieving this mail when I upload an update of my iOS APP: ITMS-91053: Missing API declaration - Your app’s code in the “mi coche eléctrico” file references one or more APIs that require reasons, including the following API categories: NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults. While no action is required at this time, starting May 1, 2024, when you upload a new app or app update, you must include a NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes array in your app’s privacy manifest to provide approved reasons for these APIs used by your app’s code. I have created the PrivacyInfo with this information (the requested in mail), but this mail is recieved even with this PrivacyInfo file in the upadatee app. Any idea what is wrong on it? Thanks in advance

I am wondering if there is an issue with screenshot uploading, I am logged in with passkey, and using latest beta of OSX. Process completes, the images appear with blur, then immediately disappear...but a refresh shows them with "this file has not yet been uploaded" and a cloud icon. Have tried multiple times.

Multiple (not all) users are unable to install our Unlisted app on their iPhones. When they open the link, they get the following message: App store would like to install an app Instead of showing the app, it says "Something went wrong" Install app is greyed out See the attached image with the Dutch text. At least one user was on iOS 17.5 beta 1. I've been in contact with multiple iOS support centers but they don't seem to be able to help me.

As title, i tried to get tracking domain by Network instruments, but it shows Call os_log APIs on a logging handle network instruments. Anyone know how can i log the domain. Thanks

We are using AFnetworking in our code base - this framework is build from source code and we not using any binaries provided by AFNetworking team. We have also modify the open source code, so that it is different from the original open source code in a way so that it won't lead to runtime conflicts in case the customers is including similar frameworks in their application. We're using those derivatives of the open source frameworks as a statically linked libraries to our SDK. Now as announce by the AFNetworking Team the SDK is now deprecated -“ As of Jan. 17, 2023, AFNetworking is deprecated and there will be no further releases. This repo will remain online in perpetuity as an archive. There are a couple options for continued AFNetworking use: Copy AFNetworking into your project and compile it directly. This gives you full control over the code. Fork AFNetworking and use the fork in your dependency manager. There will be no official forks but anyone can fork at any time and can even publish those forks under a different name, in accordance with AFNetworking's license. Moving forward, Alamofire is the suggested migration path for networking in modern Swift.  Since major part of our code base extensively use objective C we are reluctant to migrate at the moment. Query for the Apple support team - As AFNetworking announcement clearly states the SDK can still be used and repo will remain available as an archive - If we continue to use forked version of AFNetworking in the way stated above , in our code base will it have any impact on App Submission for the APP store.

Step follow: Open your project in Xcode. Choose Product > Archive. Xcode creates the archive and reveals it in the organizer Control-click the archive in the organizer and choose Generate Privacy Report Choose a location to save the privacy report When I open the privacy report file, I can't see the content. Could you help me resolve this issue?

Hello everyone. I'm try to get out of verifyReceipt for my app. I'm try to following this link https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10143/ Then I'm testing by using old receipt from my app. Using receiptUtility.extractTransactionIdFromAppReceipt(appReceipt); I got this transaction Id 160000542059454. Then follow the step in the video to get all transaction history I realize that it missing transaction which have productype as consumable. If I'm using getTransactionInfo an pass that Id I can fetch the info of that transaction. So my question is how to get all transaction Id history.

After uploading an iOS app for peer testing, users got 'invitation expired' errors. The next day I'm attempting to fix this problem. The uploaded app no longer appears anywhere in the app's TestFlight pages. What happened? Ho do I fix it? I can't re-upload, of course I get 'that version already uploaded'.

Because the latest privacy manifest file requires inclusion for submissions after May 1st, based on the document: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files I have two questions regarding the NSPrivacyTrackingDomains field: In my app, NSPrivacyTrackingDomains and regular user login registration data loading use the same second-level domain "myapp.com". If "tracking.myapp.com" is specified in NSPrivacyTrackingDomains but the user does not grant tracking permission to the App Tracking Transparency framework, can the app still access the network through third-level domains such as "login.myapp.com" or "data.myapp.com"? At the bottom of the document, there is a note: "You only need to supply NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes for apps and third-party SDKs on iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS." Does this mean that NSPrivacyTrackingDomains and NSPrivacyTracking properties do not need to be filled out as of May 1st? Will there be any issues if they are not filled out? Eagerly awaiting your response! Thanks!!!

Hi everyone, is it possible to make an app public on Apple Store (either by request, appeal, etc) once its distribution method was set as Unlisted Distribution previously? We've released an app for specific group group of users (with Unlisted Distribution method) but we planned to provide more features later on for the general public and would like to make the current app visible publicly on Apple Store. Looking forward for any feedback. Thanks.

I am about to remove the app from the Apple store. Before App removal, we are planning to have an App update which shows only the pop up saying that "the app is not functional anymore' and it will redirect to the website. Will Apple review team accept this app update? Wil there by any rejection? Kindly let me know your feedback? Anyone experienced before?

Hello, Currently, my app only uses web view to load HTML data and external safari web view by link click. I have seen the following developer's details. So if HTML data load on web view needs data collection enabled, then which Types of data need to be added to data collection? Also. if we disable all types of Data collection from privacy. Is apple will allow you to submit the app? or Reject it? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi everybody i'm developing an app that shows events of an estate. i fetch the events from an endpoint and show them in a calendar like UI. The app it's pretty simple, just 2 endpoints and a few filters. We have 6 hyperlinks some pointing to the institutional website, some others to a platform my customer use to allow users to book rooms from his estate. The app does not collect any kind of cookies, there's no login or anything like that BUT a few version ago the app store connect blocked my app due to the absence of the tracking request within the links. the institutional website collect cookies and have his own banner and acceptance flow, i tried to explain that to the review team but they demanded me to add the request, so i did that and the app was accepted. Now i'm being rejected because of the tracking request because: _The app still appears to manipulate users into enabling tracking across different apps and websites. Specifically: The app still requires users to enable tracking in order to access the app's content and functionality, such as reserving a table. Users should have control over how their personal information is used and should not be forced or manipulated into enabling tracking._ I cant understand what should i doat this point, i've asked for info but the review team refuses to explain what steps do i need to take
