Even after being 'Ready for sale' for 12 hours now, an app update is still not showing up in the AppStore for some reason... The AppStore delivers the previous version, although everything seems to be fine in iTunes Connect. The new version is 'Ready for sale' and I already tried to remove the app from sale and added it back again, but that does not make a change. All contracts are fine, all dates are set properly. It seems to me that the update somewhere hangs in the process of getting live...Anybody else with the same trouble? Any idea how to kick the update to finally appear on the AppStore?

I followed this guide https://developer.apple.com/documentation/widgetkit/making-a-configurable-widget to set up custom dynamical intents. That works fine, but: how can I set a default for an intent which is used when the user adds a widget to the home screen? In such a case the user did not select an intent yet, and in my specific situation, parts of the widget are empty as they rely on the intent. That means that I need to find a way to specify a default for each custom dynamical intent, which are applied to the widget right when added to the home screen. Thanks for any help. :o)

We set up a new version for one of our apps and saved all details in iTunes Connect the day before. Yesterday we tried to change the new version information text, clicked the 'Save' button, and a red warning message poped up saying"Your changes cannot be saved at the moment. Try again later, please."Well I am trying later for more than 24 hours now, no luck. Whatever change I try to save, it does not work. Removing the build, saving without a build: not working. Setting up a new build, attaching that to the new version, saving that: not working. Changing screenshots: can't save that, too.I contacted Apple support regarding this yesterday, no answer until now. We have a critical bug fix to be released, but this error prevents us from submitting it for review as we cannot save any changes for that specific version.Anybody else seeing this? I tried different browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome), cleared cache and cookies, tried it on a Windows machine: no luck. Always the same error message. So, there must be something wrong on Apple's end.Any idea from someone?Thanks - am pretty frustrated as we really need to get along with an update of our app.

As part of the fight against the economic consequences of the corona pandemic, the German government has decided to cut VAT by 3% (from 19% to 16%) for the period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Will the Apple AppStore pass this sales tax reduction on to end users, i.e. will Apple lower the sales tax accordinglyfor InApp and AppStore purchases from July 1st, 2020 for sales from Germany?https://www.globalvatcompliance.com/germany-covid-19-vat-implications/
