A summary of the channels for obtaining help or complaints from Apple after the App is rejected or removed from the shelves

What should I do if my app is removed from the shelves after passing the review?

What should I do if my APP is rejected after review?

App rejection and delisting are mostly due to problems with your project itself, but it does not rule out that the review committee makes review errors. How should you deal with this situation? How to appeal? How to contact Apple to express our appeal?

More details on the appeal: /?malili=jianshu

At this time, we need to negotiate with the review committee to handle it. There are mainly the following ways to conduct App review and independent appeal operation

1. Respond directly on the rejected page

There will be a reply on the page where you were rejected (to the App Review Committee Submit an appeal), you can directly reply to your questions and explain here. If it is indeed not a problem with the program, they will generally put your app on the shelf directly; if Apple confirms that there is still a problem with your program, they will also Reply, but generally the reason is similar to the rejection, and the statement is more official.
