Hi Experts,
Recently we've faced an issue when submitting the new build to AppstoreConnect for review/approval.
"Guideline 3.1.1 - Business - Payments - In-App Purchase
We found in our review that your app or its metadata provides access to mechanisms other than in-app purchase for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the app, which does not comply with the App Review Guidelines. Specifically:
Your app's description includes the following call-to-action and/or URL that directs users to external mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the app: Website: http://abc.io
Next Steps
To resolve this issue, please remove features, account registration links, and any other links to your site that could indirectly provide access to external purchase mechanisms.
If you have any additional information to provide regarding the digital content and services in your app and how the guidelines apply to them, please reply to this message in App Store Connect and let us know. If there is information you'd like us to consider in our review of future submissions, please feel free to include it in the App Review Information section of App Store Connect."
Without any detail screenshoot or detailed clue to resolve it. I asked the Apple reviewer but hasn't got a clear respond yet.
We've tried to modify in-app meta data, even change the app's description to not link to any website that have account registration or external purchases but still getting rejection by Applestore.
I'm wondering if anyone used to face this issue and resolved , can you please advise us on how to resolve it quickly.
Thanks,
Vinh

Hi Apple team,
We'd like to clarify some questions below for our Data team in ELSA Corp.
Source of Currency Exchange Rates:
We noticed that Apple has been utilizing a rolling average for the past month to calculate currency exchange rates. Could you please inform us about the specific source used for obtaining these exchange rates?
Calculating Total Revenue via APIs:
In the documentation, it is mentioned that "proceeds" represent the amount derived after deducting taxes and fees from the customer price. In theory, the sum of proceeds should equate to the total revenue for the month as per the definitions provided. However, when we examined this, even in the case of the US (where there are no currency exchange rate issues), we observed disparities between the figures displayed in the dashboard and those obtained through the APIs.
Availability of Accurate APIs:
Are there any APIs within Apple's platform that can provide data matching the numbers found in the AppStore Dashboard and reports, specifically concerning downloads and revenues?
Thanks,
Vinh
