Hello Guys,

Does anyone understand what is between Test Flight External Review VS App Store Review?
Does Green Light in External equals to Apps Store will get green light?
1. If yes why are they reviewing the same build? We anyhow choose build that was submitted earlier.
2. If no, back to question 1.

Reason why I was asking is, I have my app approved in External but got rejected in App Store.

Reason for rejecting : Used of non public api.

Sounds like a conversation you should have w/app review - did you file an appeal in the resolution ctr. w/the above verbiage?

Interesting there are no replies to this question after 4 years. I have had the same problem for over a year with no clear resolution. I seems the problem is the Apple Developer Website and/or the AppStore (Itunes) site. I uploaded an app to the AppStore and it was rejected. I made the corrections that caused the rejection, then tried to upload the corrected app (same volume, different build) and was unable to upload because different build was required. After different build, was only able to test flight the new build. Several contacts with AppStore Contact failed to resolve the problem. Have scoured forums and help files with no useful help found. In desperation I uploaded a new volume with the same corrections and further improvements, but could not submit it to the appstore, only to TestFlight. What's going on with Apple Developer Support?
