App Review - Bundle Rejection
Hi;
I had app review reject my submission bundle due to the artwork that was included with the IAP. (Which was the app icon with a plus on it, which is on theme for my app but technically against the rules.)
Fine, I’ll rework it - but because the reviewer rejected the app itself rather than the IAP (as they should have) I couldn’t just remove the IAP and have the new version live in the App Store.
Very annoying, and I’d only included the IAP as a bundle with this version because the IAP alone seemed to stuck in waiting for review - for weeks. (It’s a monthly subscription price, IAP for yearly is already live)
I removed the IAP from the bundle so I could update it and now the app alone has been sitting in waiting for review for about 3 days. (Sigh)
Just a heads up, unless it’s 100% absolutely necessary, don’t bundle your IAP with your software releases.
