Guideline 3.1.2
Subscription apps need clear pricing, terms, restore purchase behavior, and reviewer access. Many rejections happen because the subscription path or value is unclear during review.
Subscription terms, billing interval, trial details, or renewal behavior are unclear.
The paywall blocks too much functionality before Apple can evaluate the app.
Restore purchases is missing, hard to find, or does not work correctly.
Show subscription terms near the purchase action.
Make restore purchases visible and test it before submission.
Add reviewer notes explaining how to reach paid features and what the subscription unlocks.
Summarize the paywall, terms, restore purchase behavior, and test path.
If Apple could not access paid functionality, explain the exact screen path.
