Approved app directly changes status to "Developer Removed From Sale"

I'm posting a message here to know if I'm the only one who's experienced this, and if there is any solution to this issue. I've already contacted Apple via e-mail and haven't received an answer yet.

I have one game released on the App Store, and wanted to release a new one. I submitted a first version of the app, which got approved on the first try.

I didn't release it, and instead added for review another debug version. This new version got accepted too, I clicked on the "Release" button on the Connect mobile app, and somehow it said "Developer Removed From Sale".

I thought it was my mistake, so I submitted the same version again to Apple explaining the situation. This time I set the app to "automatically release", so that I don't make the same mistake.

I received the email saying "Congratulations! Your submission was accepted for release on the App Store.", and before I can even log in, I receive another e-mail saying "The status of your app has changed to Developer Removed from Sale.".

I don't understand why? I haven't even logged in, and the app was set to "automatically release". Thinking it's an error from the App Connect team, I've resubmitted a build again... Same thing happened. Got approved, immediately changed status to "Developer Removed From Sale".

TL;DR, Apple approved my app submission (that was set to "Automatically release"), but immediately changed status to "Developer Removed From Sale". Has anyone experienced the same thing lately? Any solution?

PS: I have already contacted Apple and haven't received an answer from them.

Answering to myself. UI of appstoreconnect is sometimes a bit weird!! You just need to change the availability setting back from "Remove from sale" to "Available in all territories" This apply to ALL releases.

I've just had my app approved and the exact same thing has happened. Received three emails in quick succession, submission accepted, app status is Developer removed from sale, and app is now Ready for Sale, in that order. Logged into App Store Connect to check, and the status of the app is Developer Removed from Sale.

How did you solve your problem?

Sorry! Just saw your follow up comment! Did the same thing, went to Pricing and Availability, made the changes, and now the status is Ready for Sale. Thanks for sharing!

Just posted about same issue a few seconds ago before I found your post. Did not know you could change that setting.. I will follow-up on that suggestion.

Same thing worked for me! The Lord Always Delivers! Thank you!
