Respond to Apple Rejections
Apple may reject your application for lack of compliance with their guidelines. In this case, you can correspond with Apple through the Resolution Center and resubmit your App.
The unresolved issues will be visible at the top of your App page. You will be able to respond to them via a link.
If you experience a rejection, Audiorista can help you sort through the last details and get your App ready for the second resubmission. Just get in touch with us or submit a Ticket.
After approval by Apple
If you select to release your App to the App Store automatically, your App will be released by Apple. It may take up to 24 hours to be available in the App Store.
If you selected a specific date for the automatic release, then it will be available in the App Store on that date.
If you chose to manually release the App, you can log in to your App Store Connect and do so.
