I'm game developer and I've pushed game through appstore connect, but first time they rejected my game with message : Guideline 2.1 - Information Needed
>This type of app has been identified as one that may violate one or >more of the following App Store Review Guidelines. Specifically, these >types of apps often:
>1.1.6 - Include false information, features, or misleading metadata
>2.3.0 - Undergo significant concept changes after approval
>2.3.1 - Have hidden or undocumented features, including hidden >"switches" that redirect to a gambling or lottery website
>3.1.1 - Use payment mechanisms other than in-app purchase to unlock >features or functionality in the app

>5.2.3 - Facilitate illegal file sharing or include the ability to >save, convert, or download media from third party sources without >explicit authorization from those sources
>5.3.4 - Do not have the necessary licensing and permissions for all >the locations where the app is used
After that I've re-checked all information I've provided and answered them that everything is okay with application and they changed status of my game to "In Review" After that they responded :
>

How long it that investigation taking time? And Why they are rejecting my game ?
I've tried to write app store developer program contact us , but they are just answering to wait and nothing more.
Please make sure the information you provide is accurate and detailed, and monitor your email for updates or requests for more information. It is possible that reviewing Elevated access applications may take up to two weeks.
Apple says it can take up to 24-48 hours to confirm and setup a new Apple developer account. However, some people have had the process take minutes. One SURE way to make it take longer is to use a different credit card to pay for the Apple Developer account enrollment than is already associated with that Apple ID.
On average, 90% of submissions are reviewed in less than 24 hours. You'll be notified by email of status changes. You can also check the review status of your submission in the My Apps section of App Store Connect or on the App Store Connect app for iPhone and iPad.
Using your Google Account, sign up for a Developer account. Once you have a Developer account, you can use Play Console to publish and manage your apps.
My Developer Account they investigating three months already :) And I think it will end with the ending of my enroll. Maybe this is their plan :)
