Why is my AppIcon appearing oval in the AppStore when it should be square? I've supplied the correct images to Xcode, all of which are square, however in the AppStore the AppIcon is oval.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank You,
Scott

We have an app that’s been in the store for a year, and the latest version was rejected for
Guideline 5.6 - Developer Code of Conduct. The app attempts to manipulate customers into making unwanted in-app purchases. Specifically, the app shows a one time offer for subscription when the user closes the initial subscription page launched upon opening the app.
Essentially we have a soft paywall at the end of onboarding, and if the user closes that paywall we pop a second paywall with a one-time offer with an introductory offer (2 months for $1, “Once you close your one-time offer, it’s gone!”). We’ve had this in the last few versions of the app, but not been flagged for it.
The strategy of having a one time offer after end of the onboarding paywall is not uncommon, and we are copying the approach used by many other apps in the app store. Limited time offers are a staple of marketing across all types of B2C stores.
Does anyone have any experience with this type of rejection? Should we stick to our approach and escalate to a phone call? Change the one-time offer to a “limited time offer” (e.g. reduced price for 12 hours) so there is less pressure to decide right then? It’s a strange rejection because it doesn’t seem like we are doing anythign unusual. An onboarding soft-paywall followed by a one time offer is less of a push than a hard paywall (which is approvable), and offers some people an appealing way to test the app before committing to pay for a subscription (which doesn’t offer free trials).
However, we don’t want to get flagged as a bad actor by the App Store reviewers.
I’m encountering the following message on this address: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/
Apple Developer Program License Agreement Updated
The Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been updated and needs to be reviewed. In order to update your existing apps and submit new apps, the Account Holder must review and accept the updated agreement by signing in to their account.
Can anyone help?
How can I accept the new agreement?
There’s no checkbox or confirmation button anywhere.
I am developing a watchOS app that uses the uses the Fall Detection API. After requesting the entitlement, and receiving the entitlement and adding it to my app, I managed to implement the feature, and run the app on the simulator in Xcode and it works fine.
But when I try to distribute the app to TestFlight internal testing, Xcode refuses and shows the following message:
"Provisioning profile failed qualification: Profile doesn't support Fall Detection Notifications"
and
"Provisioning profile failed qualification: Profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.health.fall-detection entitlement"
I am using an Xcode managed provisioning profile, and when I checked the profile from "signing and capabilities", it says that the fall detection capability and the entitlement are included in the profile.
When I check my app's capabilities from "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" in the apple developer website, it says that the fall detection capability for my app has provisioning support for Ad hoc and Development only, is this the reason why I can't upload my app to TestFlight, or am I missing something? If it is the reason, then is there a way to change the provisioning support so that I can distribute the app?
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
I've been receiving a few emails reminding me about the deadline for Trader status. The thing is I already submitted it back in March, but it's still In Review.
Already emailed Apple Support several times about this but got no response.
Anyone having the same issue? How to get this resolved?
AMFI: When validating /Users/path/to/product: Code has restricted entitlements, but the validation of its code signature failed. Unsatisfied Entitlements: com.apple.developer.team-identifier
anyone could help to solve this problem when I try to open my release build of the app ?

How can I resubmit
anyone please help me to describe this error message? I've tried some way to solve this issue but still faces same error.
Hello -
my apologies, I am here looking for help. Please. I am not a developer. I was tasked with updating our company’s squarespace website, and when I transferred our third party domain between Squarespace sites via nameserver, it removed our app from the App Store. Squarespace is telling me I need the app DNS code? Then they’re telling me to generate an API key from Squarespace? I keep getting different answers from their support team. I don’t know how all of this works. I didn’t change the domain, but I now realize I messed it up by updating the nameserver. Please can anyone provide some insight on what might fix this?
Can I use the TestFight app icon to link to my app inside TestFlight?
All I found is this forum post that does not give a precise answer.
Should I contact https://www.apple.com/legal/contact/trademark-information.html for that matter?
Thank you
We are trying to publish an app using React. We are getting the above refusal code but it's not enough to go off of to fix the issue. As far as I can tell, that method name isn't in use? Can I get some help please?
This question came up, a customer wants to add payment, with gesture, to their app. This gesture is a swipe, from bottom to top (like when minimizing applications). The question immediately arose, will the application pass the review with such UI/UX ? Will there be any problems ? I'm not talking about problems when the user can minimize the application when paying, or pay (accidentally) when minimizing. I want to know if there will be any problems from Apple's rules when releasing the app ? I haven't found the exact information yet
Help please. Tell me how to correctly verify a receipt using the apple/app-store-server-library for node.js? After what is the receipt considered verified? Old verifyReceipt is deprecated.
these are the questions that apple asks repeatedly.
This is the Home Screen of the app. What are the ways to publish my app publicly. what changes should I make if they keep on asking these questions? I have an organisational signup and with the organization ID users can be registered. the transfers are loaded from DB, if the registered user has a transfer assigned, it will be shown in the Home Screen.they can accept or reject the transfer as required!

"I lost the original code for my app, and I want to recreate it and upload it as an update to the existing app in the App Store. How can I ensure that the new app will be recognized as an update rather than a new app?"
Dear DTS Engineer,
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently developing a Mac desktop application using the GTKMM framework, and I have some questions regarding the distribution of such an application through the Mac App Store.
Project Context:
I am building a native Mac desktop application using GTKMM as the UI framework. As GTKMM does not rely on macOS's AppKit or UIKit, my application does not use these Apple-specific frameworks for the UI. Instead, GTKMM provides its own cross-platform UI components. While this approach allows me to target macOS alongside Linux and Windows, I am uncertain whether this setup will be compatible with the Mac App Store's submission guidelines.
My Questions:
App Store Compatibility: Is it possible to distribute a macOS desktop application built with GTKMM (without using AppKit or UIKit) on the Mac App Store?
App Store Guidelines: Are there specific App Store guidelines I should be aware of when submitting a non-native, non-AppKit UI-based app, such as one using GTKMM for macOS?
Notarization & Code Signing: Does my app need to use AppKit/UIKit to meet the code signing and notarization requirements, or can I proceed with signing and notarizing a GTKMM-based app?
App Store Review Process: Will the absence of AppKit/UIKit affect the review process or the acceptance of the app into the Mac App Store?
I would greatly appreciate any guidance or clarification on these points. If you need additional details about my development environment or the specific technologies I'm using, please let me know.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Hi Guys,
I need one help.
The thing is user of my apps, don't want their app to get auto update unless they manually go and do it.
Is it possible for me stop automatic update of my application by app store through my application.
[Note:- I know we can disable the automatic update from setting, but this then become user dependent, and i want to control it through my app, As this is important for my users.]
Till now i got to know this is possible through Apple VPP, but that is mainly for enterprise application.
Blank result for uclient api.
