My app was rejected earlier and I uploaded it again after resolving issues. I have implemented the In App Purchase feature in the app, but now its status is Developer Action Needed and I can see "Rejected" before the language I had selected to display the name of the app. I can't attach the screen shot as my reputation is just 9. So please let me know how to change this status to "Waiting For Review". What I should do?

i found one HACK to change "Developer action needed".
- Open subscription where "Submit for Review" is disabled and status is Developer action Needed.
- Reload the page for 1-2 seconds "Submit for Review" will be enabled press it quickly.
- And your subscription will get subbmit.
For anyone having this issue, try the same method as described but instead uncheck the "Cleared for sale", save, check "Cleared for sale" and save again. Then re-load the page and quickly press "Submit for review" before its grayed-out. Hope it helps someone who lost the same amount of hair as us.
It's September 2022 and the common solution of "add a character to description, save, remove that, save again" wasn't working for us.
Our Situation
- It was the first version we added IAP (Subscription)
- The app itself got approved and released
- The IAPs went to Rejected/Developer Action Needed over localization. We didn't get informed of that. (oops!) No further detail on "why" was provided.
Our tries
- We added the subscription duration to the product name (there is no guideline on why it's rejected and what it should be), and
- We brought the "Restore Purchases" button to the same place that the packages are listed.
- The IAP was in the same "Developer Action Needed" state while the localization was in "Prepare for Submission". However, the "Submit for Review" button was grayed out, constantly. So there was absolutely nothing that we could do there.
- We thought another App review would fix it. Although we were unable to attach the IAPs to the new version, we uploaded a new binary/version anyway and asked for expedited review. The new version went through and got approved, but IAPs were still in this state!
What worked
- We saw that if we add a new plan (just test) we can attach it to a new version. So one option was to create new plans and attach them to a new binary. But since the product_IDs were already baked into our systems, we didn't want to create new ones and change them everywhere.
- Desperately searching, I found this comment from Ondrej Kvasnovsky that in a 9-second video, changed our life! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=865YTXKl0-w This magic is actually working and now our IAPs are in "Waiting for Review"!
