AppStore Connect - What is ready for review state? - app-store

I made a new app and filled all info (description, build, keywords ..)
I submitted it to review and the state of my app was changed from " Prepare for Submission" to " Ready for Review"
Should I do something from my end ?
I don't have any "submit for review" button enabled .. I don't know what to do , I am stuck


We've noticed that App Store Connect recently changed the app submission flow, even for a brand new app or just an update.
What worked for us was:
On your app detail's page, click on "Add for review", you'll be taken to a page with a pool of apps on "Ready for Review" state
Check if everything seems alright, then click on "Submit to App Review" to finally submit it to Apple's review queue.
There should be another way to navigate to the page of apps waiting to be submitted to review, but I haven't tried to find it.


You have to submit it manually.
In the Left side, in section 'General', there should be a section 'App Review':
Click on App Review, in the following screen select view located on the right side of your version, Here you can submit your app.


I faced a frustrating situation where I had my app rejected. I uploaded a new build to App Store Connect, selected it as under the Build section and clicked Save. The status changed to 'Ready for Review' but the 'Submit to App Review' button never appeared! Clicking on the 'App Review' menu item on the left pane also did not load that page.
Finally I had to dig up the rejection email, click of that 'App Review page' link to go to that page to resubmit the build.

how to cancel review of the google assistant app from "Actions on Google"

I have submitted an app for review but I have to change the Targeting Locations of the app. When I resubmitted, it said can't send 2 versions of same app cancel the first review. How do I cancel it?

You can withdraw the submission of your app. In the bottom of the overview page for your app, there is the UI for the review status of your app. If your app is under reviewing, there is the "Withdraw" button on the row of the submission. You can cancel your submission bu clicking the "Withdraw" button.
See: https://console.actions.google.com/project/hitandblow-4e1bd/overview
And, you need to withdraw the current submission first, before re-submitting the new version.

I want to test my app in itunesconnect my app status is "Pending Developer Release"

Actually yes there is an old tip !
Go to you app page on itunes Connect and at the bottom of the page click the Promo Codes link.
Generate a link and use it in the App Store Application at the very bottom of the first page.
I am on the French store but in English it should be something like use a codeor redeem.
Enter your code and it will download the Pending Developer Release build

how to find InAppPurchase link on my app on iTunes connect..!
Please Help with me greatly appreciated..!
THANKS!

You can see the InAppPurchase Link in Manage Application -> open your application there you will find some links like pricing and some as shown in figure.
This will work if and only if you enable InAppPurchase in your application bundle id in developer.apple.com
if you press View details
like this button this will take to description page there you will not find InAppPurchase
you can find only these option so check in before page ie. Manage Application - > go to your application

"submit for review" is disabled for in-app purchase product

Based on all the steps mentioned here http://troybrant.net/blog/2010/01/in-app-purchases-a-full-walkthrough/, I have created a new application, uploaded its' binary and rejected it. I also added a product but its status is in "Ready to Submit" and the top right button "submit for review" is disabled. Is this normal?

maybe due to this
in short: Lodsys has been threatening developers using in-app purchases about a patent they own and apple has licensed (but the license does not extend to developers), apple is investigating...

I just noticed this same thing yesterday as well. I stumbled around for a while and then I noticed that in the Add Version page for your new binary, there is a list of the In App Purchases you can submit for review along with the binary. Checking those In App Purchases and submitting the binary has moved the In App Purchases to the Waiting for Review state. It is confusing that the In App Purchase page has a grayed out Submit For Review button when I never had to click it.

check-out http://www.macstories.net/news/apple-temporarily-freezing-in-app-purchase-approvals/ . It has some indications and links to further info.

for itunes page in 2018. if your in-app purchase is ready for review stage. you should go to your app and click prepare for submission then scroll down the page until you see the In-App Purchases section. click blue button and add your in app purchase you created before.

In-app Purchase "ready to submit", but won't let me submit it

I have some in-app purchases setup for an application. The in-app purchases are all tested, and working great - however I can't submit them for review. I submitted the application binary for review, then visited the in-app purchase section. All of the in-app purchases say: "Ready to Submit", but the "Submit for Review" button is greyed out, and un-clickable.
When apple reviews the actual application, will they also just review the in-app purchases for it? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.
Update: I don't know if it was by switching to Chrome, or by waiting 30 minutes or so, but it enabled me to submit my in-app-purchases for review.

I was having the same problem. It would not let me submit my In app purchases to my app, which I uploaded shortly beforehand. I had to reject the binary, then follow the directions below to add the IAP to the app version before uploading.
Go to iTunes Connect
Click on Manage your applications
Click on the App
Click "View Details" button
Scroll down until you see an "In App Purchase" Section
Add your In App Purchase to that version.
Then ready your app for upload.
Once these steps are complete, the In App Purchase should automatically change from "Ready to Submit" to "Waiting for Review".

There are several things that needs to be checked first before submitting an app with in-app purchase :
Enable in-app feature in your "Identifiers -> App IDs". This is
usually automatically enabled by Apple by default
Ensure the correct link from your "Provisioning Profile" to the "App IDs"
above, which has in-app feature
Build your file with the correct "Provisioning Profile".
Before you update the binary, you must set up the in-app in iTunes. Goto the :
"Manage In-app Purchases", and add/setup your pricing, description, etc in there. If you don't see this, then you will need to create a new version of your app first.
Once done, it will change to "Submit Binary File"
Now, update the new version description and select the correct in-app that you just created.
Upload the binary file to Apple using Xcode, and status should change to "Waiting for Review".

I had the same problem. For me the solution was simple. I was using Firefox and couldn't see the checkboxes to submit the purchases. Simply switch from Firefox to Chrome and you'll see the boxes again to check off and submit.

Another variation, the state of the app within itunes connect was wrong. I had to upload the binary then go to the binary details panel and reject this binary before I was able to see the check marks in the inapp purchase section of the app summary.

Use the "View Details" button and go to the bottom of the page, in the "In-App Purchases" section use the link "Manage In-App Purchase", do "Select All" and submit any no. of products for review along with the binary. Additional in-app products can be added from the Application summary "Manage In-App Purchase" button using the table provided.

It's been more than a decade since this question was opened. It is ridiculous that Appls IAP submission is still confusing. Ryan's answer saved my ass, I just would like to make minor updates to keep it up to date, and hope it will save others' time.
If you missed to submit an IAP, and the App is already in the wild, prepare for a new submission. If you cannnot submit an IAP, and your App was already submitted/approved, just reject it. After you get a new binary uploaded, do the following:
Go to App Store Connect
Click on My Apps
Click on the App
Click "In-App Purchases" under the "Features" section on the left side, make sure your IAPs are ready for review
Click "Prepare for Submission" under the top-left "iOS App" section
Scroll down until you see an "In App Purchase" section
Add your IAPs to that version
Add your binary to that version
You are ready to go
