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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Hello, I renewed my Apple Developer Program membership on July 29, 2026. The payment was successfully processed, I received the invoice and renewal confirmation, and the Apple Developer website shows that my membership is active. For approximately one week, App Store Connect has continued to display this error: Developer Program Membership Expired Your membership has expired, and your apps have been removed from the App Store until you renew your membership. To renew, a user with the Account Holder role must sign in and renew the membership on the Apple Developer website. Because of this incorrect status, I cannot submit apps, and App Store Connect states that my existing apps have been removed from the App Store. I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times. I received two responses, but neither addressed the App Store Connect membership-status issue. The renewal itself is already complete; the problem appears to be a synchronization issue between the Apple Developer portal and App Store Connect. Has anyone experienced this situation? How long did synchronization take, and was there a specific support team or escalation path that resolved it? Any advice would be appreciated.

I keep getting the following error message when trying to upload a build to TestFlight using Xcode 27 Beta 5 (running under macOS 27 Beta 5): This bundle is invalid. Apple is not currently accepting applications built with this version of Xcode. n/a (ID: 5CFNDXXPXFP2H4DVQPPGHA2YUE) Is anyone else running into this?

API Keys cannot be created due to an invalid Program License Agreement. Please update this agreement and try your request again. i don't see any pending license agreement in the business section

Hello, Our Digital Services Act trader verification has been showing "In Review" in App Store Connect since August 8, 2026. App name: Matchup Sport Apple ID: 6782085896 Account type: Individual, based in Austria Business > Agreements > Compliance > Digital Services Act: In Review, last updated August 8, 2026 (27 countries or regions) The trader declaration is set at both levels: the account-level declaration was submitted on August 8, and the app-level setting under App Information > App Store Regulations & Permits shows that the developer has identified itself as a trader for this app. Our planned launch territories are 13 countries, 12 of which are in the EU, including our home market of Austria. While this verification remains pending, the app cannot be distributed in any of them even once App Review completes. My questions: Is any document or information still outstanding from our side to complete the verification? Is there an expected timeframe for trader verification at present? Is there an escalation path if the status does not change? I have not been able to reach anyone on this specific topic through the standard support form. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Problem: Unable to Submit for Review Your app’s first achievement must be submitted with a Game Center-enabled app version. Your app’s first leaderboard must be submitted with a Game Center-enabled app version. To submit your items for review, add an app version for the selected platform. What I've done Created TestFlight builds Created release builds Run the game through to completion and triggered all achievements/leaderboards with those builds. Set up Game Center with proper app version information for all platforms. Do I have to submit it for a release review while I'm still trying to develop the GameKit parts?

90068: MinimumOSVersion too low. This app has a MinimumOSVersion of 12.0. Starting later thisyear, all iOS apps must have a MinimumOSVersion of 13.0 or later in order to be uploaded to AppStore Connect or submitted for distribution. What specific month does "starting from later this year" mentioned above refer to?

Why does Apple’s App Store Connect app (iPadOS) hide the submission status of a testflight submission? The Build has: Testflight, General Filesizes tabs, but none of them show the TestFlight release status. Release 3.2 .

App ID 6794306744. Version 1.2.0 submitted 2 August, still "Waiting for Review" — six business days at the time of writing. I'm not posting to ask anyone to speed it up. I have a specific question about how expedited review requests are supposed to behave. I submitted two expedited review requests for this version. I have received: no confirmation that either request was received no notification that either was declined and I can find no representation of the request anywhere — not in App Store Connect, and not in the App Store Connect API So from my side a submitted expedite request is indistinguishable from one that was declined, and from one that never arrived at all. Is this the intended behaviour? On previous versions of this app expedite requests were granted within minutes, so I know the mechanism works — I just can't tell what happened this time. Two related questions for anyone who knows: Is there any surface (UI or API) where the status of an expedited review request can be seen? I've looked at reviewSubmissions and appStoreVersions and there's nothing there. Does an account lose access to expedited review silently after repeated requests? If so, is that communicated anywhere? For context on the submission itself: 7 items (the version plus two auto-renewable subscriptions and three non-consumables), all showing "Ready for Review", no errors, no missing metadata, build in VALID processing state. This is the first version of this app to include in-app purchases. Two support requests (5 and 8 August) have not been answered yet. If anyone else is currently seeing unusually long Waiting for Review times on a first submission containing IAPs, I'd be interested to know — it would help tell a systemic queue issue apart from something specific to my account.

I uploaded a build to testflight and released it to Internal testers, however when the testers tried downloading the app a alert dialog shows the following: Could not install [App] The requested app is not available or doesn't exist. Also tried to submit it via external testers but getting another error.

Hello, i have an account access of Admin from one of my clients and these days when i try to push an update of an app it displays this error "AppsService: ResponseErrors (1): Error status: 403, code: FORBIDDEN.OFAC_UNCLEARED, title: 'This Apple Account has not been cleared by sanctions.', detail: 'This Apple Account has not been cleared by sanctions, so it cannot access this page.', id: " and when i open appstore connect account it take me to compliance screening page istead of sshowing apps.I am not the owner of account so what is the issue and how to solve this.Although the account holder can see all apps.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone has experienced this before and can help. My app has active subscribers, and I can see the subscription sales in App Store Connect. However, I haven't received any payout to my linked bank account. Here's what I've already checked: My banking information is added in App Store Connect. The banking account is active and can receive international transfers. My tax forms have been completed. The Paid Applications agreement has been accepted. Despite this, no payments have been transferred, and I haven't been able to figure out why. Has anyone faced a similar issue? Are there any common reasons why Apple would hold or delay subscription payouts? Is there anywhere in App Store Connect where I can check if a payout is pending or blocked? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
