Ensuring compliance with Apple App Store requirements is essential for the smooth functioning and updating of your branded app. This article provides step-by-step instructions to resolve compliance holds in the Apple Developer account and explains how OfficeRnD manages maintenance updates for your app.

Resolving Apple App Store holds

If your branded app update is flagged as “on hold” in the Apple App Store, it is most likely due to unmet compliance requirements in your Apple Developer account.

Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Log in to your Apple Developer account: Ensure you are using the Apple ID associated with your account ownership.

  2. Check for outstanding agreements: Navigate to the dashboard or the Business tab in Apple Developer to locate pending items. Look out for: - Program License Agreement - Any other agreements, such as Trader Declaration or Paid Apps Agreement

  3. Accept the agreements: Review and accept the agreements as required. These actions clear compliance-related holds and allow your app update to proceed.
