Reply to iOS App Review is absurdly slow, and rejections come with no real justification
That's it. No screenshot comparison, no explanation of what "reference" means. What the difference between you and the reviewer? You don't state the description of the app. You don't show the list of keywords. Basically, you are not helping yourself at all but just complaining about how your app has been rejected. Besides, it's probably their bot that has sounded the alarm after detecting icon similarity.

Reply to Subscriptions missing after initial app release
Everyone is having this problem because App Store Connect is a nightmare. Not really... I had 6 or 7 iOS software titles with subscription plans last year alone. It's only new comers who are having problems. People don't come here every time their app with subscriptions are accepted. And only those new people contact Apple Support and file an expedite request several times just for a single submission.

Reply to App review delay
This seems to be a reoccurring issue many developers are having and I was surprised because my app reviews used to take 12 hours max. That's a thing of the past. The wait time is several days to a few weeks now, depending on the development platform. everywhere it is mentioned that the review is done within 1-2 days Where!? I see a lot of topics under the App Store Distribution & Marketing category by concerned people that they have been waiting for several days to several weeks. despite my several expedite requests and open support case, no update on the status, no response to the communications You file an expedite request for the same submission several times. If millions of people do the same, that's basically a DDos, right? So what are you expecting? I would't blame Apple, Inc. for that. One of the main concerns that my game got approved on other platforms and the players received a new version of the game while my iOS players are still stuck on the older one, the same for the other game which I newly launched. What does that mean? It doesn't sound like a comprehensible, English sentence for me.

Reply to SwiftData query returns "private" string in WidgetExtension
I am trying to set up Widgets in my app. I want to fetch my data in the SwiftData container that is shared between my app and my WidgetExtension with App Group. Where do you use App Group? If you are trying to have the widget guy access a data manager class or a view model that managers SwiftData, that's probably not a good approach. What you should use to channel data is the one you have mentioned.

Reply to Learn Swift and SwiftUI in my old age?
I used to build desktop applications with Xojo. Those days, it was called RealBasic. There was a German vendor who tried to sell his add-on packages. Even after you say no, he comes back and try to sell one after a while. Since it didn't support iOS development, I eventually switched to Xcode.

Reply to From an Uber driver to a solo app founder, and losing it all overnight
If I I were Apple, Inc., I wouldn't tell you of the dishonest conduct you are accused of. If I did, you would find a way of circumventing the first dishonest act for which you were caught. In the past 15 years, I have seen a lot of dishonest acts. One is a bogus last chance campaign where they claim that a discount will end soon and then repeat it again. Another is a review-sharing request. I see it every two or three days at Reddit.

Reply to Premium Feature in App
You give them limited content and then give them full content when they purchase a subscription plan. That's the whole, simple idea. If you are rejected, you are probably not following all IAP guidelines. I’ve made an educational app that has limited feature usage to free users but paying monthly subscribers get full access however Apple has rejected the app due to this reason Just tell us exactly what they wrote instead of summarizing it in one sentence.

Reply to Endless loop of rejection for 3.1.1
While this issue is widespread on the forums, no one has a clear answer as to how to get out of this loop. I have many apps and have never had this issue. Widespread among newbies, right? I don't see it. I have attached an IAP feature to an existing software title before. I think I did it this year or last year. You can keep on writing hundreds or thousands of lines of text. But nobody is probably able to spot an issue you face unless you show screenshots or a screen-capture movie.

Reply to Unexpected 4.3 (Spam) rejection for an fully original application
There a lot of people who have gotten their app rejected for 4.3 Spam (a) or 4.3 Spam (b). One thing that's common in their cry for help is that They don't write the exact statement for rejection. They don't state the app description. they don't show the list of keywords. So nobody can assist them due to lack of information.
