Submitted my app and it was approved by Apple. I then downloaded it from the app store and went through onboarding however when I tried to complete a purchase it failed. Went back to app store connect and saw that there is an issue with my subscriptions. Says localization is rejected but does not provide any reason why. Any ideas?? Everything worked fine with sandbox account.

Why is this rejection coming? I don't understand.I can't see anything in my mailbox.

Apple rejected in-app purchases & subscriptions due to App Store Localization being rejected. But they didn't provide any reason why they rejected localization. The product status is Developer Action Needed & under details, App Store Localization is rejected. I already tried to edit the description and submit it again, but I am getting the same rejection. The product name & display name are also the same. If anyone knows the reason or resolution to fix this localization issue, then let me know.

One of our apps has 85% stuck in Billing Retry -- We are so confused. All the users are from the US, and have a one-week free trial. We had 1,000 subscriptions expire from this issue. So any help would be so appreciated.

We got Advanced Commerce API and the generic product identifiers approved. When I was try to migrate a sandbox subscription to ACA enabled subscription I hit an error Request payload (Hid some info but the requestReferenceId is the real) { "descriptors": { "description": "Migrated", "displayName": "Migration" }, "items": [ { "sku": "product_1mo_999", "description": "description", "displayName": "Product" } ], "requestInfo": { "requestReferenceId": "3b0b8e67-d8a0-45f4-8f6d-06bffa9a2c08" }, "storefront": "USA", "targetProductId": "com.company.generic.subscription", "taxCode": "C003-00-1" } Response { "errorCode": 5000000, "errorMessage": "An unknown error occurred." }

Hello, I purchased the Apple Developer Program membership on March 25, 2026. Although I received the invoice and the payment was successfully processed, my account is still not active. I cannot access App Store Connect or developer resources. It has been 18 days since the purchase. My Order Number is MM27QWKKGG. Has anyone experienced such a long delay? Who should I contact to expedite this process, as I've already waited much longer than the standard 48-hour period? Thank you in advance.

I’m trying to find out whether anyone has seen this kind of App Store Connect issue remain unresolved for this long. This is for a first auto-renewable subscription. Timeline: Original support case opened: Feb 27, 2026 Support initially repeated the normal guidance that the first subscription must be submitted with the app version I explained that the issue was not the process itself, but a stuck review state On Mar 25, 2026, I was told the case had been escalated to the appropriate internal team Since then, I have sent follow-up emails asking for status / owner / ETA As of Apr 12, 2026 (KST), there has still been no meaningful update Current state in App Store Connect: App version 1.0.10 is still “Prepare for Submission” Previous 1.0.10 submissions show as “Deleted” There is no active app review submission for 1.0.10 The subscription previously showed “Waiting for Review” Now the subscription itself shows “In Review” But its localization still shows “Waiting for Review” So the state looks inconsistent: no active app review submission app version still draft subscription partially moved into review anyway At this point I’m not asking about the normal first-subscription submission flow. I already understand that. What I’m trying to understand is: Has anyone seen a case like this stay stuck for 6+ weeks? Has anyone had Apple say it was escalated internally and then go silent for weeks? Did Apple eventually fix it manually? Is this something that can remain stuck indefinitely unless the internal team intervenes? Any comparable experience would be helpful.

Title: Apple Developer Program payment completed but enrollment still shows “complete purchase” Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual and completed the payment on 8 April 2026. I received the invoice confirming the purchase, but my developer account still shows the message: “Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now.” The enrollment status currently shows Pending, and it appears that the payment may not have been linked to my enrollment. Also the Enrollment Id has also not been generated I have already contacted Apple Developer Support twice but have not yet received a response. Payment details from the invoice: Order ID: MMWHM92XY3 Purchase Date: April 8, 2026 Has anyone experienced a similar issue where the payment was processed but the enrollment still shows “complete purchase”? If so, how was it resolved? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual on April 1st, 2026. The $99 payment was charged to my card. I have received subscription confirmation email on April 1st. However, my account at developer.apple.com/account still shows "Pending" status and displays a "Purchase your membership — complete your purchase now" message, as if no payment was made. I have contacted Apple Developer Support several times through the official contact form from April 4 only to get no response. I have received zero responses to any of these emails. My Case ID is 102861052988. I'm trying to launch my iOS app and this delay is blocking my entire submission timeline. Thank you.

Good afternoon, I‘m currently disputing over (8) applications on the App Store for legal (intellectual property right infringement) and for fraud. The mobile applications I created were hijacked from me and even submitted an FBI report. I’m wondering how long for Apple to recover these mobile applications? And how does the original financials work for the mobile apps I created since they were uploaded using API keys? I submitted legal intellectual property rights infringement, reported the apps to Fraud. All mobile applications should be listed under my Apple Developer Account. Furthermore, where do I go if I need assistance with these apps? I submitted the complaints about two weeks ago. Also when will Apple side legal be able to resolve these issues. The banking information for all mobile applications should also be freezed. Can someone from Apple help me get this resolved? All mobile applications banking and financials should be frozen due to the fraud I reported.

I am submitting a new app, so the subscription has to be submitted as part of the overall app review at first, I can't submit it directly on its own. I didn't know this at first, and submitted the subscription directly. It obviously got rejected with the status "developer action needed". Now no matter what I change I cannot seem to get the status to update from "Developer Action Needed" to a more favorable status. This is obviously a problem because until I can get the status to update, I cannot attach it to submit with my app. Any ideas on how to get the status on my subscription to update to "Ready to submit" so that I can attach it with my binary and submit it with my overall app submission?

Has anyone experienced something similar with App Review / App Store Connect? We ran into a very frustrating situation that is now seriously affecting our release and iteration plan. What happened: One of our subscription products was initially rejected on “value” grounds. Although we disagreed with that assessment, we removed that subscription from the latest build in order to move the review process forward. The problem is that the subscription product remained stuck in “In Review” status in App Store Connect. Because of that state, we were unable to edit, remove, or modify it from our side. App Review then rejected the app again under Guideline 2.1(b), saying the IAP attached to the submission could not be found in the binary. So the issue is basically: we already removed the product from the app as requested, but App Store Connect still keeps that product attached to review, and we have no way to remove it ourselves. Then the app gets rejected for exactly that mismatch. We explained this multiple times, attached recordings and backend screenshots, but the responses mostly repeated the same review language and pointed us to contact support. Questions: Has anyone had a subscription get stuck in “In Review” and become impossible to remove? How was it finally resolved? Did Apple manually remove it from the submission, reset the review state, or require you to withdraw and resubmit everything? This has already caused major delays to our release cycle, so any similar experience or practical advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to release a web view app using capacitor. In storekit I get the price and subscription length just dandy. but when I use my real phone, with setting to force app to use store, the apple store returns invalidProducts: with my product ID. that then causes my app to fail. the subscription site in state "waiting for review"- Each time i submit the app, I delete the current subscription and then update the app to point at a new one. does the subscription need to be active to pass review, and how to pass review while submitting a subscription (subscription must be submitted with an app). feel I am going round in circles a little. thanks for any tips or pointers

Hi everyone, I submitted an app update with an auto-renewable subscription, but it was rejected during App Review. The issue is that the rejection message did not clearly specify what part of the subscription implementation is incorrect, so I'm not sure how to proceed. Here is my setup: Subscription type: Auto-renewable StoreKit version: (StoreKit 1 / StoreKit 2) Server-side validation: Yes / No Products configured in App Store Connect: Yes Tested in Sandbox: Yes (working as expected) Questions: Are there common reasons why subscriptions get rejected without detailed explanations? What areas should I double-check (receipt validation, product configuration, UI compliance, etc.)? Is there a recommended way to get more detailed feedback from App Review? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am trying to submit the first version of my app with auto-renewable subscriptions, but I am stuck in a loop. Both of my subscriptions (Yearly and Monthly) are stuck with the status "Developer Action Needed". Because of this status, they do not appear in the list of available In-App Purchases when I try to attach them to my app binary on the App Store Connect submission page. Here is what I have already done/checked: All metadata is filled out (Display Name, Description, Pricing). Review Information is complete (Screenshot and Review Notes are provided). My "Paid Applications" agreement in the Agreements, Tax, and Banking section is Active. I contacted Apple Developer Support by phone, but they were unable to resolve the issue and suggested I post here for help. Has anyone experienced this "limbo" before? How can I trigger the status to change to "Ready to Submit" so I can finally attach them to my build and send the app for review? (I have attached screenshots of my App Store Connect dashboard showing the issue). Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello, I have a blocking issue in App Store Connect. I need to submit my In-App Purchase together with the app (first-time approval), but: The option to attach In-App Purchases is missing I cannot create a new app version I cannot properly edit the current version This creates a deadlock and prevents me from submitting the app correctly. This does not seem like a configuration issue, but a problem in App Store Connect. Has anyone experienced this or knows how to resolve it? Thank you.

Hi, Like many others here, I applied and paid for an Apple Developer account (April 2). Although I’m certain I used a different account during the process, it appears the payment was linked to an older account that I no longer have access to (specifically, I can’t access the email address associated with it). This means I may have missed any follow-up communication from Apple. Since then, I’ve updated my primary email to one I can access, submitted 3 support tickets, and spoken with Customer Support by phone. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to resolve the issue. I’ve been told they cannot take action, that I need to wait for them to reach out to me, with no clear outcome — no escalation, no refund, and no concrete guidance on next steps. I’ve also seen mentions of a callback option from the Developer Account team, but I haven’t been able to find or access this anywhere. At this point, my account is still Pending, no response to my support tickets (despite a stated 2-business-day response time), and no clarity on how to proceed—while already being charged $100. I understand this has been asked before, but does anyone have suggestions on what I can do next? Thank you.

Need some advice please as it is not obvious in the Developer Portal what is required here. Developing a new application & I have had a few rejections & one of these was I could not use Stripe I must use Apple Subscriptions so I implemented this. Subscriptions all created fine etc and I could attach the In-App Purchases etc, all tested & ready to go, the app and the subscriptions both got rejected. I then fixed these issues & my app is approved & on the app store however subscriptions is currently Waiting for review. I am in an endless circle right now whereby I submit a new app version as requested (I have no way to attach the subs as they are either In review or needs developer attention) & the app gets approved but the subscriptions get knocked back as I have not attached the binaries but I have no option to attach the binaries when I create a new app version within the developer portal. So right now: App - Live Subscriptions - Waiting for review & I suspect it will get rejected again as I did not attach binaries but I can't.. That ability just is not visible when I create a new version within Distribution. Im I doing something wrong here or has this some how got stuck and put me into an endless circle which is not possible to fix within Apple help? Thanks.

Enviei meu app (xek) pra revisão desde terça feira. Recebi a solicitação de ajustes na quarta e depois de ajusta-lo na quarta mesmo, ele ficou travado em “Aguardando revisão” desde então. Um app simples que está no processo de liberação desde terça e desde quarta sem nenhum retorno da Apple, isso eh normal? Tenho outro app que nunca demorou tanto nas aprovações. mandei mensagem por outros canais e nada. Vamos ver se por aqui tenho algum retorno.
