I have already created consumable in-app purchases in App Store Connect which are available in my app. Then I created a "Discount Code" UIButton which presented custom UI for the user to input a code for another in-app -purchase at a lower price but that build was rejected because you cannot have custom code for this sort of thing. Ref: Apple Documentation: presentCodeRedemptionSheet() Finally I got it through review when I changed the UI but then I realized that I can't offer a free consumable in-app purchase. The minimum price is US$0.29. I would prefer a free consumable in-app purchase to give to freelancers I am owkrin with for them to test the app with. I know that there are ways to do it when using subscriptions but my app only using consumable in-app purchases which align better with my business model and the value offering of my app. There must be some way of creating a single-use free consumable discount code which will also get through App Store Review. Anyone managed something like this? Thanks.

Upon attempting to load an .ipa file from our build system into Apple Transporter 1.3 (newly updated this week from 1.2.5), the following error was presented. This occurs when selecting the file to load (or drag/drop the .ipa file onto the app). Never seen this before and it is unclear what the issue is (and why it might persist for 24 hours) or why it mentioned macOS App. This is an iOS/iPad app (not a macOS app) but the iPad app can be installed on a Mac as many iPad apps can. I had another Mac with the 1.2.5 version of Transporter and the same file was loaded (and then uploaded to the App Store) without a hitch. Does anyone have any idea or has seen something similar?

I see that there's an updated requirement for iPad screenshots (iPad 13"), but there's no info on the screenshot specs page and the device bezels are outdated

This bundle is invalid. The value for key CFBundleVersion [1.0.1] in the Info.plist file must contain a higher version than that of the previously uploaded version [5]. Please find more information about CFBundleVersion at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/cfbundleversion (ID: 978303b8-eb71-4d71-9169-b0b0860fd8ec) The issue is an error while uploading macOS version 1.0.1 to the App store. If I want to solve it simply and quickly now, do I have to skip 1.0.1 and upload version 5.0.1 right away? I made an inquiry to Apple, but they only asked me to ask the forum or provide technical support. I would appreciate it if you could reply even if it's not accurate. I don't know if the problem is mine or Apple's problem, so I can't solve it for a long time.

On our CI (GitHub Actions) we are signing our .ipa with codesign and after that uploads the resulting .ipa with altool to TestFligt. The problem is that the entitlements added by codesign no longer appear when we view the build on TestFlight. The app requires entitlements for push notification and for associated domains. codesign -s Distribution prod.entitlements prod.ipa Immediately after we do a codesign --verbose --display --entitlements - and the entitlements show fine. Next command is xcrun altool --upload-app --type ios -f prod.ipa --apiKey $api_key_id --apiIssuer $appstore_api_key_issuer To us it seems like altool strips the entitlements from the .ipa. What are we doing wrong?

Below, I have a button designed to facilitate the purchase of a subscription, which depends on the availability of the subscription in App Store Connect. This button is visible when testing locally using a StoreKit Configuration File synced from App Store Connect, and I have linked my subscription to my app in the information section. Currently, my app is in a "waiting for review" status, and the subscription is marked as "developer action needed - rejected." However, this issue of the button not appearing persisted even when the subscription was previously in the "waiting for review" status, indicating that the problem may not be related to the subscription status. I'm encountering an issue where the 'request products' function returns no results in the TestFlight environment, even when using a sandbox Apple ID. This problem has led to repeated rejections of my app, as testers are unable to verify its functionality. What could be causing these issues? VStack { if storeVM.subscriptions.isEmpty { if storeVM.isLoading { ProgressView("Loading subscriptions...") .progressViewStyle(.circular) .scaleEffect(2.0) .padding() } else if let errorMessage = storeVM.errorMessage { Text("Error: \(errorMessage)") .foregroundColor(.red) .padding() } else { Text("No subscriptions available") .padding() } } else { ForEach(storeVM.subscriptions, id: \.id) { product in Button(action: { Task { await buy(product: product) } }) { HStack { Spacer() Text("Unlock 3-day free trial. \nThen $23.99 per year. Cancel anytime.") .font(.custom("Lora-VariableFont_wght", size: 20)) .foregroundColor(.white) .lineSpacing(5) Spacer() } } .padding() .background(Color.black.opacity(0.6)) .cornerRadius(10) .padding(.horizontal, 10) } } .onAppear { Task { await storeVM.requestProducts() } } func requestProducts() async { isLoading = true errorMessage = nil do { subscriptions = try await Product.products(for: productIds) isLoading = false } catch { print("Failed product request from App Store server: \(error)") isLoading = false errorMessage = "Failed to load products" } }

Queria saber como altero a linguagem do meu aplicativo postado, pois escolhi tudo português no cadastro do App e quando foi publicado aparece o idioma EN(Inglês) na App Store. Não sei mais o que fazer, alguém pode me ajudar por gentileza.

In order to submit my new subscription for review I need to upload a screen. No matter what resolution image I upload it fails saying "Your file could'nt be save. Try again if the problem persists, contact us" I am using many different types of simulators (Iphone 15 - Iphone Xs) and physical devices to take a screenshot and nothing is accepted. I can see the error message being returned from apples API is "IMAGE_BAD_DIMENSIONS_SM_LESS_MIN" so assume its a resolution issue. I am following the current guidelines here: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/screenshot-specifications

Hello, We are seeing some confusing output from an App Store Connect API service: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/list_all_price_points_for_an_app curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer <REDACTED>' 'https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps/354902315/appPricePoints?limit=200&filter[territory]=USA' { "data" : [ ... ], "links" : { "self" : "https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps/354902315/appPricePoints?filter[territory]=USA&limit=200", "next" : "https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps/354902315/appPricePoints?cursor=AMg.AMZSC44&filter[territory]=USA&limit=200" }, "meta" : { "paging" : { "total" : 658, "limit" : 200 } } } The above API call is successful for us and returns a list of price points for the app. However, it appears to be missing some values - the full set from the above API call indicates that there are 658 entries, but if we call the same service for a different app there is a larger result set: curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer <REDACTED>' 'https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps/947178208/appPricePoints?limit=200&filter[territory]=USA' { "data" : [ ... ], "links" : { "self" : "https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps/947178208/appPricePoints?filter[territory]=USA&limit=200", "next" : "https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps/947178208/appPricePoints?cursor=AMg.AMeaC5w&filter[territory]=USA&limit=200" }, "meta" : { "paging" : { "total" : 801, "limit" : 200 } } } Why is a larger set available for one app and not the other and how can I make the same set available for all of our organization's apps?

In App Store Connect, is an organization's Legal Entity name separate from the App Store display name? My organization currently has the same name for both App Store display name and Legal Entity name. It contains an apostrophe, which is desired on the App Store for brand consistency. However, an apostrophe is no longer permitted in the Legal Entity name (it was entered in before that restriction came into effect). If I remove the apostrophe from the Legal Entity name to satisfy compliance warnings, will that update the App Store display name as well? I ask here because I'm supposing that if I remove the apostrophe and it does update the display name, the input validation won't let me enter it back. Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

My app was rejected due to Wrong OTP issue. But when I test using the same credentials it works fine. I am not able to reproduce the rejected issue. How I will check that issue ? In our previous build getting same issue but after few communication it was approved automatically. May I know why it is happen every times?

We run automated app uploads to Appstore Connect and TestFlight from our company servers, which are behind a firewall. Our firewall is configured to allow connections to the HTTPS servers listed in the Transporter User Guide The problem is, Apple adds new servers (e.g northamerica-1.object-storage.apple.com) to this list without prior announcements and this breaks our automated uploads because our firewalls are not yet updated with the new servers. Transporter logs report vague errors which are difficult to correlate with the new servers that were added. For example, the error msg is: [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] data: null [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] } [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] buildAssetSpi: class BuildRelationshipsBuildAssetDescription { [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] links: class AlbumLocalizationRelationshipsAlbumLinks { [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] self: https://contentdelivery.itunes.apple.com/<redacted>/iris/v1/builds/<redacted>/relationships/buildAssetSpi [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] related: https://contentdelivery.itunes.apple.com/MZContentDeliveryService/iris/v1/builds/<redacted>/buildAssetSpi [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] } [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] data: null [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] } [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] } [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] links: class ResourceLinks { [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] self: https://contentdelivery.itunes.apple.com/MZContentDeliveryService/iris/v1/builds/<redacted> [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] } [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] } [06:45:19]: [iTMSTransporter] [2024-03-11 06:45:17 GMT] <main> DBG-X: Returning 1 [06:45:19]: iTunes Transporter output above ^ [06:45:19]: <redacted>.ipa11966153618006795338-swinfo.plist (1) - Bad Status received from server: 401 The above error had nothing to do with authentication or incorrect tokens. We solved it by adding "northamerica-1.object-storage.apple.com" to our firewalls and retrying appstore connect upload. I'm trying to figure out ways to solve this problem. Is there any way to subscribe to Apple notification emails/RSS feeds etc to get to know about new servers being added ahead of time ? Are the wildcard domains - *.object-storage.apple.com *.blobstore.apple.com sufficient to cover any new server that Apple adds to the list mentioned in the Transporter Guide ?

While this isn't an issue directly related with programming, I would like to share my frustration with Apple Care and their knowledge of how App Store and third-party apps work. Perhaps someone at Apple can do something about it. Every now and then a user of one of my apps contacts me asking why they get an error when downloading or updating the app in the App Store ("Unable to Download App. “App” could not be installed. Please try again later."). I tell them that third-party developers have no power over the App Store or its download/update process, and this is an issue they have to solve with Apple Care. But when they contact Apple Care, they are told that since it's an issue with a third-party app, they have to contact the app developer. Sometimes the user is more inclined to believe what Apple Care tells them and they get angry at me. In any case, I feel helpless and frustrated, because I would love to help them, but have no means of doing so. There is something about the concept of App Store that makes some users believe that third-party developers have more power than they actually have: sometimes, for example, users contact me directly, or even leave reviews on the App Store, asking for a refund, which of course only Apple can do. Have you had a similar experience? Can some engineer at Apple instruct Apple Care that third-party developers cannot help with App Store download/update issues, so that App Store users don't get mad at the app developers for not being able to install/update their app?

On App Store Connect, we're required to upload a screenshot of in-app purchase screens to submit them for approval. Unfortunately the uploader only seems to work about 5% of the time, with it failing (see screenshot) every other time. I've tried several different browsers and it's the same every time. Can something please be done about this? It's not acceptable for the developer tooling to be this buggy, and it's preventing many people from being able to submit in-app purchases.

Before Apple Silicon was a thing, I published a separate version of my iOS app for macOS. I'm no longer able to maintain this version, so I would like users to be able to use the iPadOS version of my app on Apple Silicon. Unfortunately I can't make it available through Prices &amp; Availablity, because it says: "Once your macOS version has been approved, your iOS app will no longer be available to Mac users." (translated from the German user interface) How do I remove the previous version and publish the iPadOS version to the mac app store?

I'm trying to submit an app that we have successfully tested in TestFlight. After completing all the distribution steps and submitting for review, the review is failing with the response: "Your app version was rejected and no other items submitted can be accepted or approved. You can make edits to your app version below." I haven't received an details in app or via email to provide further information. The version in TestFlight that I have uploaded is: v1.0.23(23). When entering the distribution details, and from the rejection response., it looks like the version number I'm entering on the main distribution page is the issue - maybe? I have tried entering 1.0.23, 1.0.23(23), even just 1.0 - but it constantly keeps getting rejected. Is it really the version no. that is wrong, or potentially something else? How can I get more information on why the submission was rejected?

I know that most people on this forum will likely not be lawyers, but I am hoping someone with experience or insight can point me in the right direction. I am trying to publish an application to the iOS app store and getting ready to publish, but I never addressed the part about export control documentation. I use some hardware components made in the UK, and the only cryptography I'm aware of using is HTTPS and AES-128 (LoRa security) in the hardware. My app will only be available in the U.S. I will not be exporting any data or hardware, and everything I am hosting my application on is in the U.S. Does my application still fall under the EAR? Or is it something else I am supposed to be looking for? Someone I originally asked this about said that simply using imported hardware means it falls under the EAR, but that doesn't make sense to me. I am new to all of this, so if anyone can at least point me in the direction to look or has experience, that would be greatly appreciated.

I currently have an app listed in the App Store under my company's name. Recently, we restructured our company and adopted a new name that better reflects our product. My question is: Can I update our company name and DUN (Data Universal Numbering) number in the App Store, or do I need to create a new account for our restructured company? Alternatively, should I submit the updated version of the app under the original company name and DUN number?
