First subscription

First subscription submission checklist

A compact preflight for submitting a first auto-renewable subscription with a new app version.

The first subscription is complete but may not be collected into the same review submission as the app.

An item-level state is not evidence that the purchase and app version are together in the review submission. Treat the draft contents as a separate checkpoint.

Verify the subscription group, selected subscription, app version, and draft contents together.

  1. 1Confirm required IAP or subscription metadata and the review screenshot.
  2. 2Verify the intended app version and active draft submission.
  3. 3Check agreements, tax, and banking status independently.
  4. 4Verify product lookup in sandbox or StoreKit testing.
  5. 5Escalate an observed UI limitation instead of guessing that it is fixed.

Keep configuration evidence distinct from sandbox evidence and final submission evidence.

Keep the reply conditional.

Never state that the IAP was attached, reviewed, or resolved until the matching App Store Connect evidence supports that statement.
