App Store Connect displays the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section on your app's version page when your app has an In-App Purchase or subscription with a Ready to Submit status. To locate the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section: In Apps, select the app you want to view. In the sidebar, select the app version. On the version page, scroll down to the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section. For more information, see Submit an In-App Purchase.

I'm trying to change an app's Primary Language in App Store Connect from de-DE to nl-NL and hitting a state I can't resolve through any interface available to me. Environment App Store Connect (web UI) and App Store Connect API v1 Problem UI: App Information → Primary Language → nl-NL → Save fails with: "Primary Locale couldn't be saved because you must first provide all the required screenshots for each version in this language." API: PATCH /v1/apps/1669670490 with attributes.primaryLocale = "nl-NL" returns HTTP 409: ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.INVALID.INVALID_STATE.MISSING_SCREENSHOTS_PRIMARY_LOCALE Error detail contains an unsubstituted placeholder: "...you must first provide all the required @@LANGUAGE_VALUE@@ screenshots..." What I've verified Current live version (3.7.6) and current editable version (3.7.11) both have complete nl-NL screenshot sets for all required device sizes (6.9" iPhone, 13" iPad). No Watch app, iMessage extension, Custom Product Pages, In-App Events, or IAPs. Enumerated all 23 versions via the API (1.0 → 4.1.0). 19 of them have an nl-NL appStoreVersionLocalization (with real historical description/keywords/support URL) but zero nl-NL screenshots attached. Tried POSTing an nl-NL screenshot set to one historical version (4.1.0) directly via the API to confirm this isn't just a UI restriction. Also returns 409 ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.INVALID.INVALID_STATE — historical versions are locked against edits (including screenshots) at the API level, not just the UI. Question Since these historical versions can't be edited through any supported interface, is there a documented way to satisfy or bypass the "screenshots for each version" check for locked historical versions when changing Primary Locale? Filed as case 20000130035264 with Developer Support, who pointed me here for the technical side.

I'm hoping someone from Apple or another developer has some advice. I have an app update that has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 12 days. This is not a new app, it's a small update whose primary purpose is to fix a critical bug that's affecting my users. Here's what I've already tried: Submitted two expedite review requests through the official form (I rarely use this process, so it's not something I've abused). Emailed App Review support twice to explain the situation. So far, I've received no response to either the expedite requests or the emails. At this point, users are continuing to experience a bug that has already been fixed, but I have no way to get the update to them. It's hurting the user experience, causing me to lose users, and is directly impacting my revenue. Has anyone experienced something similar recently? Is there anything else I can do besides waiting? I'd really appreciate any guidance, and if anyone from Apple is reading this, I'd be grateful if someone could look into this situation.

Hello App Review Team, Our iOS app has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for more than 12 days with no status change and no Resolution Center messages. App name: Express Evaluations Developer: Express Evaluations, Inc Platform: iOS Version: 1.0 Current status: Waiting for Review Submitted: July 30, 2026 at 11:52 AM We opened an App Review Status case on August 10, 2026 and have not received a reply yet. Case ID: 20000133168856 This delay is blocking our planned release and is affecting stakeholder trust in our launch timeline. Could someone from App Review please check whether this submission is stuck in the queue and advise on the current status? Thank you for your help.

Hello, My Team ID: 536YC9W689 I submitted my App Store Small Business Program application on July 7, 2026. On the same day, I received the confirmation email titled "We’ve received your request to join the App Store Small Business Program". It has now been more than 30 days since submission. The application status still remains under review, and I have not received any follow-up emails, requests for additional documentation, or approval/rejection notifications. All items in my Paid Applications Agreement are fully completed and active: Contract status: Active Tax information: Submitted and verified Banking information: Verified Could anyone from the Apple team help check the current status of my application? Please let me know if there is any missing information or further action required on my end. Thank you.

I am having an issue with both In-App Purchases and auto-renewable subscriptions using the current App Store Connect submission workflow. My app was previously submitted for review along with its IAPs and first auto-renewable subscriptions. The app itself was approved, but the IAPs and subscriptions were not approved with it. Afterward, the IAPs/subscriptions showed “Developer Rejected.” I did not intentionally reject these products individually. Because App Store Connect states that the first auto-renewable subscription must be submitted with a new app version, I created a new version (1.1.8), uploaded a new binary, and added version 1.1.8 for review. I now have the following situation: • My In-App Purchases show “Ready for Review.” • My subscription group shows “Ready for Review.” • Both auto-renewable subscriptions show “Ready for Review.” • The Add for Review controls for these products are disabled, so I cannot add them to another submission. • App Store Connect shows only one Draft Submission. • When I open that Draft Submission, the only item listed is iOS App 1.1.8. • None of the IAPs, the subscription group, or the individual subscriptions appear in the Draft Submission. Therefore, App Store Connect appears to consider the IAPs and subscriptions Ready for Review, but they are not actually visible in any Draft Submission and I have no way to add them to the 1.1.8 submission. I have tried removing iOS App 1.1.8 from the Draft Submission and adding it again. This does not change the status of the IAPs or subscriptions and does not make them available to add to the submission. I have contacted Apple Developer Support twice, but so far they have not been able to provide a solution. Has anyone encountered this with the new App Store Connect IAP/subscription submission workflow? Is there a way to reset the review/submission state of IAPs and subscriptions that show “Ready for Review” but are not actually present in any Draft Submission? I would strongly prefer to keep the existing product identifiers rather than recreate all of the IAPs and subscriptions.

App Store Connect will not let me attach the subscription to a version submission. App stack: React Native / Expo, EAS builds Subscription: monthly auto-renewable, single tier Payment integration: RevenueCat What is working: Subscription fully configured in App Store Connect (Prepare for Submission status) All metadata complete: localization, price, availability, App Review screenshot, review notes Paywall works on device: StoreKit fetches the product live, Apple purchase confirmation flow initiates correctly Paid Applications Agreement, banking, and tax info all Active RevenueCat integration validated (Valid credentials, price fetches at runtime) What is failing: App Store Connect submission UI shows: "Unable to Submit for Review - Your first subscription group must be submitted with a new app version. New subscription groups must be submitted with an auto-renewable subscription from within that group." No option to attach a version in the draft submission flow The rejected version's Edit flow does not offer an In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section Standard documented flow does not produce a bundling option What I have tried: 4 submissions across multiple builds and versions - all rejected under 2.1(b) with "app references pro features but the associated In-App Purchase products have not been submitted for review" 3 Developer Support cases - all responses confirmed this issue is outside Developer Support scope, pointed here Removed all previous rejected submissions to reset the version to "Prepare for Submission" - no change in behavior This matches known Apple Developer Forums threads 713221, 812514, 705460 where developers in the same stuck state required App Store Connect engineering to manually push the subscription to "In Review" on the backend. If any Apple engineers are able to look into this: happy to provide App ID, submission ID, and product IDs privately via DM. Requesting assistance getting the subscription attached to the pending version submission so review can complete.

I’ve been trying to get this app through App Review for more than two months now. It was rejected a few times before. I changed what Apple asked me to change and submitted it again each time. The current version has now been sitting in Waiting for Review for quite a while and nothing is happening. I’m actually not very familiar with the App Store review process, so I’m not sure how long Waiting for Review is supposed to take. Do I just leave it there and wait? Or should I submit it again? I’m also wondering if I need to create a new submission / new ID at this point. I don’t want to keep changing things if that just sends me back to the beginning of the queue. The whole thing has already been going on for more than two months, so I’m a bit lost on what I’m supposed to do now. Has anyone run into this before?

Hi all, I hope someone from App Review can take a look My situation: QuidProQuote: Memory Keeper (app ID: 6791349683) is a simple cross-platform app where a single purchase unlocks both the macOS and iOS versions. Both versions were submitted from the same build/codebase. The problem is that while my macOS version has been approved and is now pending my release, the iOS version (submission ID: 9fba8d59-d9a7-4a09-bbbe-1d23035adbe1) has been "Waiting for Review" for 12 days now. 2026-07-30, ~4:30pm ET: Both macOS and iOS submissions entered "Waiting for Review" 2026-08-06, ~10am ET: macOS version approved, now Pending Developer Release 2026-08-11 (Today): iOS version still showing "Waiting for Review," 12 days with no status change This ends up being more than a normal wait because the purchase is shared across platforms... releasing the macOS version now would put it in front of customers without the iOS half of what they're paying for. I can't release the approved macOS build until the iOS version clears review, so the delay on one platform is effectively holding both hostage. I did file an expedited review request today (2026-08-11), received confirmation ("we'll expedite this review"). But I read advice that additionally it would be wise to register the problem here. Thanks for any visibility into this!

Hi everyone, First, some context and a genuine compliment: this is our first iOS submission, and overall the App Store Connect tooling and TestFlight have been a great experience — our beta reached 1,351 external testers organically, with 1,700+ sessions and a crash rate below 1%. That said, we're stuck in a loop we don't know how to break, and I'd love advice from anyone who has been through it. Our game, Truckers Brasil Online, is a truck simulator with proprietary real-time online multiplayer, 100% developed in-house in Unity by our Brazilian studio. Same game, same brand and same company operating on Google Play since 2024. Our official YouTube channel has 1.84M subscribers with years of public devlogs documenting the development. We own all source code, all 3D models (including the original Blender source files of every truck), and the dedicated servers that run the multiplayer. The review history: Jul 04 — rejected under 4.3(a) Spam ("similar binary, metadata, and/or concept"), no specific app named Jul 05 — we replied with a detailed originality dossier (PDF attached to the conversation) Jul 14 — next review did NOT raise 4.3(a); it moved to a connection bug and gameplay questions, which we fully answered with a corrected build and a step-by-step visual guide Aug 07 — the same generic 4.3(a) text returned, with no new facts and no reference to any of the evidence Each of the three reviews lasted under 20 minutes according to the activity log, so we suspect the attached evidence was never actually opened. We have already: replied in the conversation with a complete evidence dossier, filed a formal appeal to the App Review Board, and contacted Developer Support (case open). Questions for the community: Has anyone successfully overturned a repeated 4.3(a) on a genuinely original game? What ended up working? Is there anything else we can do while the appeal is pending — or anything we should avoid doing? For Unity games specifically: is there any known way to reduce false-positive binary similarity flags? We're happy to provide any verification — source code, Blender files, live server access, video demo. We just need the evidence to actually be looked at. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Hello everyone, I'm facing a frustrating issue with the new App Store Connect UI when trying to submit In-App Purchases alongside my app version. My Situation: App: Nagpur Prime Property (iOS) Rejected under Guideline 2.1(b) — App Completeness Reason: IAPs not submitted with the binary What I've Done: Uploaded new Build 7 (v1.0.1) ✅ Created 2 auto-renewable subscriptions: • Basic Plan (npp_basic_plan) — Ready for Review ✅ • Premium Plan (npp_premium_plan) — Ready for Review ✅ Added both to a Draft Submission (3 items total) ✅ Sandbox tester account added ✅ The Problem: The Draft Submission panel shows: ⚠️ "Unable to Submit for Review — To submit your items for review, add an app version for the selected platform." The "Submit for Review" button is permanently GRAYED OUT. The Draft Submission shows: Versions column: "-" (no app version linked) Items: 3 (Subscription Group + 2 subscriptions) The App Version (Build 7) is in a SEPARATE submission showing "Ready for Review" — but there is NO UI option to link the two submissions together. What I've Tried: Clicking "Add for Review" from Subscription Group page Clicking "Add for Review" from individual plan pages Clicking "Draft Submissions (1)" from version page Contacted Apple Review team — no solution provided Tried "Resubmit to App Review" on version — IAPs not included Question: In Apple's new App Store Connect UI, how do you correctly link an IAP Draft Submission to an App Version submission so they can be reviewed together? Is there a specific order of operations that needs to be followed? Or is there a known workaround for this issue? Thank you in advance!

Our initial release has been in "Waiting for Review" since July 29, 2026. As of today, August 11, it has never progressed to "In Review." App ID: 6771136749 Version: 1.0 Submitted: July 29, 2026 Support Case ID: 20000135031799 Details: Initial release, not an update Build has not been cancelled or resubmitted at any point Free Apps Agreement is active; no paid features or IAP Metadata, screenshots, and App Review Information (including demo credentials) are complete No messages in Resolution Center I filed a support case today but wanted to post here as well in case anyone from App Review can confirm whether the submission is correctly in the queue. Has anyone seen initial submissions sit this long recently without moving? Interested in whether this matches the backlog others have reported this year.

A build has been uploaded to TestFlight, and we have existing Internal Testing groups that have worked successfully in the past. However, when I click the blue + button under Groups, all groups are disabled and cannot be selected. The same issue occurs with a newly created group. I’m an Admin and have permission to manage testers and groups. Build Distribution is set to Automatic for Xcode Builds, as it was previously when this worked without issue. Is there a known workaround or setting that could resolve this? Thank you

I am unable to attach my In-App purchases and Subscriptions to my only Draft Submission for my app. My IAP and Subs say "Ready For Review" but Im not able to see or select them to submit them for review.

Summary I am unable to link my In-App Purchases and Subscriptions to my app version in App Store Connect. The "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section described in Apple's documentation is not visible on my version preparation page, making it impossible to associate IAPs with my build before submission. Steps to Reproduce Open App Store Connect → My Apps → [App Name] Navigate to the app version in "Prepare for Submission" state Scroll through the entire version page The "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section is not present anywhere on the page Expected Behavior According to Apple's documentation and the note shown on the Subscriptions page itself: ▎ "Your first subscription must be submitted with a new app version. Create your subscription, then select it in the 'In-App Purchases or Subscriptions' section of the app's version page before submitting the version for review." The section should be visible and allow me to select my configured subscriptions. Actual Behavior The section does not appear on the version page at all. My subscriptions (monthly, yearly, lifetime) are all in "Ready to Submit" state and correctly configured, but there is no way to link them to the build. Account & Contracts Status All prerequisites are in place: All contracts (Paid Apps Agreement) are signed and active — nothing pending under "Business" / "Agreements, Tax, and Banking" Banking and tax information is fully set up No open items or warnings under the Business section in App Store Connect Despite all account requirements being fulfilled, the IAP linking section remains absent from the version page. Impact This is blocking my app from being approved. Apple's reviewer rejected my submission with Guideline 2.1(a) stating the subscription screen showed no available plans. The reviewer cannot see the IAPs because they were never linked to the version — which I cannot do due to this missing UI section. Environment App Store Connect via browser (Safari + Chrome, both tested) App status: "Prepare for Submission" IAP status: All three products "Ready to Submit" First-time submission (new app, never been approved before) Workaround None found. This appears to be a UI bug in the current version of App Store Connect. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to link IAPs to a build via the API or any other workaround?

My Apple Developer Program membership is currently showing as inactive, although the membership has been renewed and is valid until June 2027. I was asked to provide additional documentation and submitted the requested information approximately three weeks ago. The review still appears to be pending. Has anyone experienced a similar review process? If so, how long did it take, and what is the recommended official support channel for checking the status? I am only looking for general guidance about the review process and the appropriate next step. For privacy and security reasons, I am not including any account or case information here. Thank you.

My iOS app, Marketplace Guardian, was submitted to App Review on August 4, 2026 at approximately 2:27 PM and has now remained “In Review” for approximately seven days. Submission ID: c331b8f0-86ec-4511-8263-3c97b71a8382 There has been no rejection, request for additional information, or other communication from App Review. I understand that review times can vary, but Apple states that 90% of submissions are reviewed in less than 24 hours. I am therefore trying to determine whether this delay is normal or whether there may be an issue preventing my submission from progressing. I have contacted Apple Developer Support twice without receiving a response. Today I also contacted Apple Support and spent approximately one and a half hours on hold attempting to reach Developer Support. During my support interaction, I was transferred to a supervisor. I asked for clarification regarding the support process and requested documentation of the policy and procedure concerning the inability of consumer Apple Support to escalate or contact Developer Support. Before all of my questions were answered, the supervisor ended the chat. The issue was therefore not resolved, and I was left without an answer regarding the status of my App Review submission or a clear path to obtain assistance. I am extremely frustrated with this experience. I am currently in the process of documenting the matter for submission to the Better Business Bureau and the appropriate consumer protection agency because I have been unable to obtain a timely response or meaningful assistance through Apple's available support channels. I am not asking for preferential treatment or guaranteed approval. I simply want someone with access to App Review to confirm that my submission is properly progressing, determine whether anything is preventing the review from moving forward, and let me know whether anything is required from me. Has anyone else experienced a similar “In Review” delay recently? Any information from other developers or Apple regarding unusually long App Review delays would be appreciated.

Hi all, Like others my app submission has been stuck in “waiting for review” for weeks. I know initial app reviews take longer than updates, but this has been delayed far too long and makes me concerned about repeating the process in the future. I submitted this app for review back on Feb 10. It was initially rejected for a minor issue, which I resolved and resubmitted the same day. After that, the build remained in “Waiting for Review” for about two weeks with no further communication. At that point I canceled the submission and resubmitted the build, thinking it may have been stuck in the queue (I now know not to do this next time). Unfortunately the new submission has also been waiting for review for another 9 days now with no messages or updates. I’ve contacted app review support as well (case ID- 102826632729). I understand review times can vary, but delays like this make it difficult for developers to plan launches or push updates when the review process is the only path to distributing apps. As paying members of the Apple Developer Program, we rely heavily on this pipeline functioning reliably. Hoping this post will reach someone from Apple who can help move the process along. If any other devs have suggestions/tips that have worked for them, please share so others in this position can become unblocked. Thanks in advance.

I understand that they/you are probably being flooded by a lot of AI slop apps or other excuses, but submitting an app 3 weeks ago and it being stuck in Waiting for Review (not first app live on app store either) is beyond a joke. Lodge a support request (not expedited review request) and to get back a generic you will be notified when it changes to In review is not the sort of support help you would expect either. This sort of delay impacts businesses (time and money) and needs to be fixed by either putting more reviewers on - OR better still move more towards the Automated review process Google uses. meantime it still sits there in waiting for review.

Relatively new to development for Apple, first submission followed the general guidance of timeframes for review (around 48 hrs but probably a little more) , but WOW have had a follow up release sitting there for almost a week and no movement - got too the point that had to pull it and replace it to fix some critical issues being reported through the "other app distribution platform" and now same problem with the revised submission. Not only that have submitted two non-related development support enquiries (you know where they say they will get back to you in 24 hrs) - umm 4 days and no response. Should we be all submitting for expedited reviews - has Apple sacked 3/4 of it review team ? What is going on with Apple Support and App Review timelines??

I received a Pending Termination Notice on my Apple Developer account citing sections 3.2(f) (fraudulent conduct) and 5.6.2 (Developer Identity - falsely represented yourself). The problem is that Apple has not told me what information is allegedly false or fraudulent. Everything on my account is my real legal name, real identity, real address, and real documents. I have never submitted false documentation. I have never misrepresented who I am. Earlier this year, I received a copyright complaint from a competitor. Apple's legal team investigated it for a full month. I cooperated with every request. I changed the app name, changed the icon, changed the tagline, removed the app from sale in every country. Apple closed the case and sent me an email stating: "We trust this resolves your concerns and consider this matter closed." Now, months later, I have received a pending termination notice without any explanation of what specific information is false. I have submitted an appeal through the official form. I have also emailed Apple Developer support and executive contacts. But I have no way to defend myself when I do not know what the accusation actually is. My questions for the community and any Apple staff who may see this: Has anyone received a 3.2(f) / 5.6.2 notice and successfully resolved it? What did you do? Is there any way to get Apple to specify what information they believe is false? How long does the App Review Board typically take to respond to termination appeals? Is there any escalation path beyond the appeal form and developer support emails? There is a significant amount in earned proceeds frozen in the account. This is my livelihood. I am a legitimate developer with a real business, a real app with real users, and I have never done anything dishonest. I am willing to provide any document Apple asks for. I just need someone to tell me what the issue is so I can address it. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Apple ID: 6777752146 Team ID: XJR63P2754
