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.

Hello Apple Developer Support community, I would like to ask for advice regarding my app review process. For every new moderation/review submission, I usually have to wait around 7 days, which already feels quite long. However, for my current submission, I have now been waiting for 12 days, and this does not seem normal. I have already requested an expedited review, but the submission is still waiting for review. Could someone please advise what I should do in this situation? Is there any way to check why the review is taking so long or to request an update from Apple? Apple ID: 6762392582 Submission ID: 410dbbf8-7c2a-4688-989a-d7b23d74614e Thank you.

I recently noticed that an app called Private Browsing Web Browser has been ranking at the top for the keyword “browser” on the App Store for a long time, even ahead of well-known browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. This is not only the case in the U.S.; it also appears to rank top in many other regions. This app has not been updated for a long time, and both its interface and feature set seem extremely basic. There also appears to be nobody to discuss it on the internet, and some of the App Store ratings look very suspicious. I previously reported this to the Apple team by email, and questioning about the algorithm, but they consistently responded: The App Store ranking system has no problem, and it's working as expected.” I wanted to ask everyone: Do you think it is normal for this app to rank number one for “browser” on the App Store? Also, the same developer has another very similar browser app called Snowbunny Private Web Browser, which also ranked high.

I am looking for guidance from Apple or developers who have encountered a similar issue. My app is already live on the App Store. I have two auto renewable subscriptions: • PDR Fuel Pro 6 Months • PDR Fuel Pro Annual The subscriptions have been submitted for review multiple times and have been rejected repeatedly. The rejection appears under the subscription localization, but no meaningful explanation is provided. Current status: • Subscription metadata is completed. • Display names and descriptions are present. • App Store agreements, tax, and banking are active. • RevenueCat configuration is functioning. • The app build is already live. • Subscription purchase flow is implemented and accessible from the app. The issue is that App Review continues rejecting the subscription localizations without providing a clear rejection reason or guideline reference. Questions: Has anyone encountered repeated subscription localization rejections without explanation? Is there a known issue where subscriptions become stuck after a build is withdrawn or replaced? Is there a way to determine the exact rejection reason when App Store Connect does not display one? Should this be escalated through Developer Support instead of App Review? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Getting 2.1(b) rejection. Reviewer sees "Purchase Failed" alert. Products configured correctly in ASC. Does App Review sandbox use same sandbox environment as developer testing? Can reviewer sandbox accounts trigger purchase failures that developer sandbox accounts cannot? Any known issues with first-time IAP products failing specifically during App Review sandbox session?

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a frustrating situation with my app and hoping someone from Apple or the community can help or has faced the same. Situation: I configured two auto-renewable subscriptions (premium_monthly and premium_yearly) in App Store Connect under a subscription group Submitted them for review along with a new app build The app build was reviewed, accepted, and is now live on the App Store The subscriptions have been in "In Review" status for 20+ days with no action Impact: In production, StoreKit does not return the subscription products at all (as expected — Apple doesn't serve unreviewed products to StoreKit) Users cannot purchase subscriptions Monetization is completely blocked for a live, approved app What I've already tried: Submitted an expedited review request — no response Submitted a new app version update to force a combined review — app was approved again but subscriptions remain "In Review" Contacted App Store Support via the online form — no response after multiple days Cannot edit or resubmit the subscriptions because they are locked while "In Review" Technical details: Using Flutter with the official in_app_purchase package (v3.2.0) Implementation verified correct — prices load fine in sandbox/simulator Existing lifetime non-consumable (remove_ads_premium) is approved and working in production Only the two new subscriptions are stuck Questions: Is there any way to escalate a stuck subscription review beyond the standard expedited review form? Can I delete the subscriptions while they are "In Review" and recreate them, or will that cause issues with product ID reuse? Has anyone else experienced this and found a resolution? Any help or guidance from Apple engineers or fellow developers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello, I created an app using the latest version of Xcode (16.2), and I'm having a problem testing this app on my iPhones. I created this app just like all the others I've made for my clients, including one on (03/24/25), but when I went to upload another App to App Store Connect on (03/26/25) I couldn't test it on my phone. Points to consider: The app runs perfectly on the Emulator. All my terms and agreements with Apple are up to date. I tried to download the apps through Testflight on 2 different devices, iPhone 7 Plus (iOS 15.8.1) and iPhone 15 Pro Max (iOS 18.3.2), and I was unsuccessful in neither attempt. I can send my app to the internal testers, but when I click download, the following message appears: Could not install [APP NAME]. The requested App is not available or doesn't exist. I imagine this problem is with Apple itself, I have already contacted support, but I need to resolve this urgently for my customers. Has anyone experienced this and resolved it?

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 developer account is a US single-member LLC owned by a non-US individual. The LLC is a disregarded entity with a valid EIN. App Store Connect only shows me the W-9 workflow. But the IRS instructions for W-9 say: ▎ "If the owner of a disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9" So I legally cannot submit a W-9. I need the W-8BEN workflow enabled. Apple Finance told me all US legal entities must complete a W-9, then suggested I get an EIN (I have one) or change my address. When I sent the IRS guidance, they said their system can't make the change and forwarded it to the tax team. That was May 14 (Case-ID 19771345). Over 15 business days later: no reply, no timeline, and my paid agreement is still inactive. My business is on hold. Has anyone with a foreign-owned single-member US LLC gotten the W-8BEN workflow enabled? Is there any escalation path beyond iTSPayments and the Finance contact form? Both have gone quiet.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice from developers who may have encountered a similar situation. I originally submitted an app called Bien, which provides financial services and handles sensitive user data. During review, Apple rejected the app under Guideline 5.1.1 and advised that the app must be published under a seller/company name that reflects the Bien brand. Following that guidance, we went through the process of creating a new Apple Developer account under the appropriate company identity and submitted the app again using the new account. However, the new submission has now been rejected under Guideline 4.3(a) (Spam) because the binary, metadata, and concept are similar to apps submitted under another developer account. The challenge is that the similarities exist because it is the same app, being resubmitted under the new account that Apple previously indicated should be used. We have: Submitted a formal appeal. Opened a support case with Apple. Provided the previous review communication showing the requirement to publish under the Bien company name. Has anyone experienced a situation where an app was moved to a new developer account following Apple's ownership or branding requirements and subsequently received a 4.3(a) rejection? If so: How was the issue resolved? Was additional documentation required? Did App Review eventually recognize the account transition and approve the app? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

so the app is free to download . the first use is free for two days . We want to send a reminder to them via email. some are installing (67%) but not returning to use the free credit. what is the policy on getting the apple id from apple. do we have to ask the user for the id at install and then disclose that its for tracking purposes and to inform about future promo's . the id will not be shared with third parties

Hello App Review team - My app(App ID: 6756242440) is stuck in 'Waiting for review'. Once in a while updates are getting stuck like this, while other times same app reviews go through in 48 hours. Please help us understand any reasoning behind this so we can plan our development accordingly. Thanks in advance!

submitted a fun game bullseye beam 2 months ago, was in review for a month. uploaded new version and retried, still waiting for review after another week plus

I submitted an update to my app, which is a critical update to address some bugs. The submission has been In Review for over 43 hours. Is this normal?

My update has been in "waiting for review" for over 2 weeks now, even for the TestFlight version.

I have a universal app available on both iOS and macOS. The macOS version appears in App Store search results and can be found normally. The iOS version has been approved and is available for download via its direct App Store link, but it does not appear in App Store search results when searching by app name. This is my first App Store release, so I’m not sure whether this is a normal indexing delay or a configuration issue. Information: Platform: iOS and macOS Direct App Store links work for both versions macOS version is searchable iOS version is not searchable Is there anything in App Store Connect that I should verify, or is there a typical delay before a newly released iOS app becomes searchable? Thank you for any guidance.

Hi everyone, Our organization account has been stuck in review hell for almost 3 months now if you count the enrollment phase. Long story short, we got hit with a Guideline 2.3.1(a) rejection recently. We spent days cleaning up the entire codebase, stripped out all old/unnecessary libraries, and ran static analysis to make sure everything is completely standard. There is zero obfuscated code or dynamic execution now. We submitted this clean version (Build 9) 6 business days ago, but it's just sitting there in 'Waiting for Review'. No updates, no emails, nothing. This delay is seriously hurting our business operations and commercial launch. The active case ID for this issue is 102893875646. If any Apple moderator or representative here can ping the App Review team or escalate this internally, it would be a lifesaver. Thanks.

Hi there, my App is showing "Waiting for Review" over 1+ week later. Previous reviews on this app went through within 24 hours, so this is a clear outlier. I've submitted expedited review requests, replied via Resolution Center, contacted App Review via the support form, and called phone support — all with no response or no ability to help on their end. Has anyone gotten unstuck from a similar situation recently or are longer review times common currently? Appreciate any pointers.

Hi there, my app is still showing "Waiting for Review" over 1 week later. Previous reviews on this app went through within 24 hours, so this is a clear outlier. All prior reviewer feedback has been addressed in the current build. I've submitted expedited review requests, replied via Resolution Center, contacted App Review via the support form, and called phone support — all with no response or no ability to help on their end. Has anyone gotten unstuck from a similar situation recently? Appreciate any pointers.

Hi Everyone, Our app update has been in "Waiting for Review" status for over a week now, which is well beyond the usual review window. It has not yet moved to "In Review." Status: Waiting for Review (unchanged for 7+ days) Contains a critical production bug fix Our live users are currently affected by an issue, so getting this update through is fairly urgent. We have already submitted an expedited review request, but there has been no movement so far. Is anyone else experiencing unusually long "Waiting for Review" times recently? Any guidance on whether this is a known backlog, or anything we can do to help move this along, would be greatly appreciated.

Hello lovely people, I was wondering if there is a chance to get Darkmode on the Appstore Connect? I caught myself avoiding the site till the next morning. Thanks for all the great work you do, Fleak
