Hello, I would be grateful if someone could help me with several questions I got after trying to move from in-app purchases to ads in my mobile app. Previously my app contained in-app purchases and did not contain ads. I decided to change the monetization model: now all the content in my app will be for free and available after watching an ad. So, I removed in-apps from the code, added AdMob, and here are the questions: Is it possible to make such changes within a new version? Or such global changes will require removing my app from the store and adding a separate new version with ads? If such changes are available within the same app in in new version, how should I update the information about the app: from "Free Offers In-App Purchases" to "Ad"? Will adding this information into information about major changes in the version I send for submission will be enough? Again, if point 1 is valid, should I remove in-apps from the app page in appstoreconnect? How should I update the rating? Currently, my app is 4+, but I believe, adding the ads may influence the rating. I don't want to limit the ads, as, although, my app does not contain any sensitive content, in fact, my app is for grown-ups, not for children. As far as I understand, just editing the Age Rating settings, setting all the points in it to "INFREQUENT/MILD" is not correct. Plus, in this case, I get a "Based on your selected age rating, the app will not be made available on the App Store." notification.

Hello,I have an app already live in store with 3 in-app purchases in it (also previously approved). It was planned that each of these in-apps will have 3 localizations, but I forgot to add them to one of the in-apps. I opened it, added two more localziations and saved changes. The status of the in-app didn't change ("Approved"), but in the "Localizations" section I saw that there was a green spot in front of initial localization and yellow spots in front of newly added localziations. I waited for several working days but nothing changed. I checked the store and the localizations were not added to the in-app (changing language did't change the language of the in-app name in the store).Then it appeared that I had to modify names/desriptions for all the localizations in two other in-app. Now they also have a yellow spot in front of them and there is a pop-up message for the modified names/descriptions like:"We'll review the new description before we make it available on the App Store.Current Descriptionblablabla (my previous description)"So, I am not sure what should I do: just wait for the Apple to re-approve these in-apps (apporve added/modified localizations), or should I send them for re-approval manually in some way? All these in-app hav "Approved" status but the changes in names/descriptions are not displayed in store/app.The point is that when I created these in-app and added locs to them the approval didn't take much time (less then 24 hours). But as far as I had already mentioned, after my first modification of in-app 3 or 4 working days passed but nothing changed.
