Reply to App Keeps Getting Declined From Guideline 5.6
There are rules for subscription plans. As long as I see your screenshot, you don't seem to follow them. Have you looked for and read subscription plan documents? I'm not going to post links for you. Nor am I going to mention those rules because I already did twice in the past several days. You will never get your subscription plans approved unless you follow those rules.

I notice one more thing. You may reconsider your app design in the whole picture. If it takes the user three steps just to get to the in-app store page, that's way atypical. Rejection is probably not about whether or not they can see purchase buttons but it's taking too many steps just to get there.

Reply to In-App Purchases Rejected
I have checked with internal and external testers and my devices and simulators, everyone sees the in app purchases but I just had my submitted rejected for the second time with the comment that these in-app none-consumable purchases cannot be found with the submitted binary. That's because you have prior knowledge as to where they are located, which doesn't guarantee that reviewers see them. by navigating through only 3 buttons How sure are you that those 3 buttons clearly appear under the latest OS version? Have you tested the app with an iPad? A toolbar button may appear as a 2 x 2 pixel dot under 26.0 unless you are careful with it. I would take a good look at the system details they give you. along with detailed instruction Perhaps, you are making the situation worse. I would make it concise so that they will not be overwhelmed

Explained to them. They do make a lot of mistakes. Over the past 15 years, I have accumulated a lot of horrible review nightmare stories based on their complete imagination. Let me put it this way. They do things that do not exist. Write review notes under the App Review Information box to avoid unnecessary rejection. Your best option is to convince your rejection executioner with a concise, convincing explanation. Do NOT file an appeal because they do make mistakes. If they do, you will be done for good.

Reply to Backgrounded app - Local Notifications
The problem occurs when the app is backgrounded or force-closed; it can no longer send local notifications, and because these events can occur at any time, scheduled notifications can't be used. How does that work? Unless the user turns off the notification switch or the power of the device itself is off, the app is supposed to receive notification alerts.

Reply to Apple Developer Program membership renewal still not updating active after payment
Alarmed by this post, I paid my due 25 minutes ago. I received a purchase confirmation message, followed by a message for membership renewal 11 minutes later. I've checked the developer site some 20 minutes ago. And I've confirmed that renewal is solid as shown in the screenshot below. So your question is Is this normal (a waiting period for a renewal). You haven't mentioned how long you waited till your alarm bell went off. So nobody can tell. And also, you don't tell where find out that my membership status still hasn't updated to active . So nobody can tell.
