I have tried a bunch of different images but I keep getting this error message upon submit for review.. Unable to Add for Review The items below are required to start the review process: There are still screenshot uploads in progress. All of the screenshots are uploaded successfully. I tried removing the screenshots and do it again multiple times! I'm 100% certain that this is a bug on the server side. Please take a look because this is a party stopper for us... Thank you

My submission to App Store Connect has been 'In Review' for over 5 days now. My recently experience with reviews has been great with reviews occurring within a few hours. But now it seems to be taking much too long. I have contacted the support team a few days ago, and they said the app is requiring additional time and they will contact the review team. But still haven't received any updates. I've been very happy with the review process lately, and now this long wait. I don't suppose there's anything to be done? I am very tempted to cancel and resubmit just to get in front of another reviewer. Anyone else having this experience lately?

Able to show the promotional offer, but after going through the payment process, inputting my password, and confirming the purchase, I get an error popup that says "Unable to Purchase. Contact the developer for more information." In the logs, I get the following errors: SKErrorDomain Code=12 "(null)" ASDServerErrorDomain Code=3903 "Unable to Purchase" Here are the example parameter values I am passing to the combined string appBundleId + '\u2063' + keyIdentifier + '\u2063' + productIdentifier + '\u2063' + offerIdentifier + '\u2063' + appAccountToken + '\u2063' + nonce + '\u2063' + timestamp appBundleId: com.app.myapp keyIdentifier: copied the key ID from the App Store Connect productIdentifier: product_identifier offerIdentifier: offer_identifier appAccountToken: tried both a UUID and an empty string nonce: a UUID to lowercase timestamp: UNIX timestamp How I'm generating the signature (Java) /* promotionalOfferKey = value between "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----" and "-----END PRIVATE KEY-----" from the downloaded p8 file from App Store Connect associated with the keyIdentifier parameter above */ // stringToSign = the combined string above byte[] encoded = Base64.getDecoder().decode(promotionalOfferKey); KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("EC"); PKCS8EncodedKeySpec keySpec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(encoded); Signature ecdsaSign = Signature.getInstance("SHA256withECDSA"); ecdsaSign.initSign(keyFactory.generatePrivate(keySpec)); ecdsaSign.update(stringToSign.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)); byte[] signature = ecdsaSign.sign(); signatureToReturn = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(signature); What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

I submitted a new App yesterday and included a video preview file for several size devices (6.7, and a copy of 6.7 for 6.5, 5.5 and 12.9). The iPhone files each took 5-10 minutes of processing (where the file icon shows a cloud image) but each eventually worked. The iPad file uploaded fine, but now 18 hours later is still showing a cloud icon. All these uploaded files are about the same size at about 40M. The AppStore will not allow me to submit the App for review due to: Preview File Still Processing! What is my recourse?

I have implemented a standard GKLeaderboard in my app. The leaderboard includes the player's avatar, display name, and the score. I only use functionality provided by GameKit without any custom server functionality. I don't even have an own server. Still, my app got rejected with the following notice: We noticed that your app does not obtain the user's consent prior to uploading users' scores to a global leaderboard. To collect personal data with your app, you must make it clear to the user that their personal data will be uploaded to your server. What should I do here? Do I really have to obtain user's consent before uploading his score to Game Center?

Hi, My App Store Connect's Sandbox Testers' page gave me the error message "Something went wrong. Try again later" yesterday. It hasn't been resolved yet. I got the same error when adding a new sandbox tester. This issue came suddenly, and I know the other person who has experienced the same issue. I need help or suggestion on what action I can take to get past this issue. Thank you!

This function is not working for me, I used it many times and now it just stopped clear the purchases

Hi All tech gurus, This morning I got an error while uploading a new app on App Store that the app name is already taken and after that chaos started. Now any app that I try to upload I am getting an error. When I tried to create an app manually on App Store, it created but it does not show in my apps on App Store Connect . It creates the identifier and does not show me the app on app store connect. Also gives an error on xcode upload that SKU is already taken. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is major blocker for me.

We plan to get some redemption codes from ABM to our partners to download custom apps, and they will use their own devices. But there is a problem, if they are not involved in this business anymore. If user downloads a custom app to their own device using redemption code, is there a way to force remove it from the App Store purchased list? Is there a way to force remove it from the App Store purchased list? Or can only add permission verification to the application?

Hi, We aim at delisting our MacOS app from the Mac App Store, so that it is no longer available for new users, while maintaining uninterrupted access for our existing MacOS user base. However, this MacOS app is associated to an iOS app in the same app group. Our current challenge lies in the process of removing the older MacOS app from sale without affecting the availability of the associated iOS app. We have explored the "remove from sale" option in App Store Connect, but it appears to be common to both MacOS and iOS, preventing us from delisting the MacOS app separately. We'd like to understand if there is a way to remove the MacOS app from sale without impacting the associated iOS app. If there are any alternative solutions or best practices that can help us achieve this, we would greatly appreciate your advice. Any advice or suggestions you can provide would be highly appreciated !

The docs here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/certificatetype Imply that you can create a certificate with a certificateType of PASS_TYPE_ID_WITH_NFC or PASS_TYPE_ID. However, when using the API, I get a 404 or a 403 status code when attempting to use them. Additionally, there is no documented way to associate the certificate to a particular bundle id for the pass type. Has anyone been able to successfully create a certificate for passes? If so what request did you send?

I'm dealing with a problem uploading our release binaries that is completely perplexing. If I use the ITMS Transporter desktop app to upload my IPA, everything works fine. If I use the ITMS Transporter command line interface (which i'm calling from inside the desktop app's directory /Applications/Transporter.app/Contents/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter -m upload...) to upload my IPA, I get the following error ERROR ITMS-90529: Invalid package. Applications built with sdk 9.0 or later must be packaged as proper IPA files. No idea why this error is coming up. I can also use altool to upload my binaries successfully. The issue is altool is being deprecated and I need to be able to use the ITMS command line interface as part of some deployment scripts we have. Please help!

The error message "Purchase of this item is not currently available. The item is being modified." keeps appearing for journalists in different countries trying to get early copies of the latest build of my app using promo codes. This error has only started appearing when redeeming promo codes recently. Just days ago, users had no problem redeeming codes for the same build. No changes have been made to the app since then. The app is also free globally with an in-app-purchase option to remove ads. The promo codes to remove ads have been working fine with no error messages, but redeeming the latest build displayed the error message though it has worked days before. Generating new promo codes for the same build did not work either. This is the message that I got from a reviewer from one journalist: "I've sent the code over to one of our reviewers, and he says that when he tried to redeem the code to download your app, an error message popped up saying "purchase not currently available, item is being modified". He's still getting the same error message even after restarting his iPhone. He even tried a different device and checked for updates on both devices to no avail. Can you help?" It's an urgent matter not only because the press can't review the game, but also I worry it would affect the launch of the app in a few days. What if this error means users can't download the app on launch?

Hi, I'm deploying my app to the store for the last several year. I have a Watch app. No matter what I do, I get the next warning above my version information screen for each new build: You’re currently using Apple Watch Series 3 screenshots for your latest watch build. Adding screenshots for the newest devices can help you accurately represent your app’s user experience on the App Store Although I take the screenshots on a real Watch series 9. Does anyone know how I solve it?

I find odd that the App Store Connect still requires 5.5" iPhone screenshots of the iPhone 8 Plus, given that this specific phone is no longer supported by the latest release: iOS 17. I am well aware that the iPhone SE still has a similar screen ratio, and that it is still being supported by iOS 17, but it doesn't have the same pixel requirements (1242 x 2208), which means that in order for my app to be even reviewed (which is an iOS 17+ exclusive), I'm gonna have to create images that will then be upscaled to the right dimensions. Am I missing something here, or is it Apple who missed this detail?

Now receiving the following warning in Xcode when uploading app, and corresponding email. The app is unlikely to be released for Vision Pro. Is there any flag I've missed that can be added to the app to silence this (blacklist the device type), bearing in mind this app is not compiled with the Xcode Beta that supports Vision Pro. Failing that, can anyone suggest who to reach out to at Apple to request a solution? I realise this is only a warning, but it's an unwanted distraction. Dear Developer, We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "Cape Physio" 0.52 (7). Your delivery was successful, but you may wish to correct the following issues in your next delivery: ITMS-90984: Apple Vision Pro support issue - The app contains the following UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities values, which aren’t supported on Apple Vision Pro. [accelerometer, gyroscope] After you’ve corrected the issues, you can upload a new binary to App Store Connect. Best regards, The App Store Team

Hello Apple Developer Community, I hope this message finds you well. I recently submitted an astrology-related app to the App Store, and it was rejected with the following reason: "Your app primarily features astrology, horoscopes, palm reading, fortune telling, or zodiac reports. As such, it duplicates the content and functionality of many other similar apps currently available on the App Store." I would like to seek some clarification and guidance on how to address this issue and bring my app in compliance with Apple's guidelines. I understand that there are similar apps available, but I believe my app offers unique and valuable features that differentiate it from others. Specifically, I would like to know: What criteria does Apple use to determine whether an app is considered duplicative of others in the same category? Are there any specific guidelines or best practices to follow when submitting astrology or similar apps to ensure they are approved? Is there a way to highlight the distinctive features of my app that make it unique and provide a better user experience compared to other similar apps? Are there any precedents or examples of successful astrology apps that were approved on the App Store, and if so, what factors contributed to their approval? I want to ensure that my app complies with Apple's policies and provides value to users while avoiding any issues related to duplication. Any insights or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards,

Hi, i am trying to upload certificate signing request (CSR) for Pass Type ID via API, using this endpoint https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/certificates. Request body looks like this, with POST method and content type application/json: { "data": { "attributes": { "certificateType": "PASS_TYPE_ID", "csrContent": "LS0tL...S0tLS0K" }, "type": "certificates" } } csrContent is base64 encoded. The response from API is: { "errors" : [ { "id" : "71a...4c9", "status" : "404", "code" : "NOT_FOUND", "title" : "The specified resource does not exist", "detail" : "There is no identifier with ID 'null' on this team." } ] } CSR was created with KeyChain on Mac (as described here: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/create-certificates/create-a-certificate-signing-request), but i can also do it with OpenSSL. First of all, there is no pairing information between Pass Type Identifier and certificate in request. Status 404? I would expect 400. And given detail is totally useless... The documentation is poor for this topic: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/create_a_certificate. So that brings me to the idea of adding it (Pass Type Identifier) to the CSR content, but where? I am able to read all certificates stored via Developer Account and put them together with private keys... but storing it is pain... Does anyone have an idea?
