Reply to App Stuck in Waiting for Review for Nearly a Week — Multiple Support Requests Unanswered
These days, if you get an app being reviewed 10 days after submission, you should consider yourself 'Lucky.' We have also submitted multiple Support inquiries but have not received any response so far. Have you considered what happens to Apple if millions of people do the same? This version is particularly important to our team Umm... Pardon me, but which submission is not important? Mine is not important, but yours is?

Reply to Mac Store search defaults to IOS Apps devastating Mac Catalyst sales.
Just to clarify, the issue I am reporting is that when a user searches in the Mac App Store, the default visible result set appears to show iPhone/iPad apps designed for Mac, while actual Mac apps are only shown after selecting the separate “Mac Apps” option. That's true. A user searching inside the Mac App Store would reasonably expect Mac apps to be shown by default. If the search view defaults to “iPhone & iPad Apps”, then Mac apps are effectively hidden behind an extra selection step, regardless of their normal search ranking. I agree. But, honestly, I wouldn't make it a big deal. I do wonder, though, why they need to show the search result for iPhone & iPhone Apps by default when they know iPhone and iPad users don't use the Mac App Store application. In fact, I think this is stupid. It's as stupid as how Tahoe keeps running the progress wheel for 10 seconds or longer when I use NSOpenPanel and NSSavePanel on my Mac mini.

Reply to Help understanding subscription rejection
I don't want to spend too much time explaining to you what may be wrong with your submission since this is the samo-samo repeated question by subscription newbies. And I have better things to do. Anyway I strongly suggest you go through those two links you have posted. I don't know exactly why your current submission is rejected, but I see some issues by taking a look at the screenshot of your subscription sheet. Mainly, you only show what you want them to see: Price, Duration. That's it. It doesn't explain how they benefit from getting a subscription plan. It doesn't say what happens when the subscription expires. That's all you get from me.

Reply to Free App rejected for violating 3.1.1 Guideline
I had two desktop applications rejected in a row several three or four months ago. In both cases, I had an ongoing in-app purchase, which I removed after submission. I didn't explain IAP removal for the first guy. And I did for the second guy. But the reviewer ignored it and rejected the app anyway. They were both eventually approved after I told through Resolution Center that I no long had ongoing IAPs.

Reply to APNs push never delivered — even a direct FCM test message fails
I'm afraid there is little information about the issue you are reporting. You don't mention the OS version or the Xcode version. Push notifications are never delivered to my iOS app and I've exhausted the usual checks. I don't know what you mean by checks. The checks are regarded as M1 money in the U.S. and other countries where one can write a person check to make a payment.

Reply to In App Purchases constantly rejected
You disclose little information about your current situation. Although your screenshot indicates that your current platform is macOS, you don't mention it. You don't tell which Xcode version you are using under what macOS version. So I'm afraid you are on your own. Also, there are some incomprehensible English sentences like the following. After no shows from calls with the team someone finally got back to me but after they had the team really try we have made no progress. and the following. We see many reports on places saying 'I submit my app and they cant review it I create the same again and the 5th time it works' I don't know what the team is that you are talking about. I no longer release my macOS Applications with in-app purchases because they no longer work under Xcode 26.2 and beyond. Some incompetent people have destroyed it. We see many reports on places saying 'I submit my app and they cant review it I create the same again and the 5th time it works' Who are they? I have no trouble whatsoever in making IAPs available for my iOS apps. People facing no issues don't open a topic and say "My IAPs are work." Only newbies with little experience do.
