What approval means
Approving says this page may go to App Store Connect when you send it. Nothing goes to Apple on approval. Any edit withdraws it: click Edit on an approved page, change it, and approve again. A page whose screenshots still show your own words asks once, with Approve anyway or Keep editing.
If something goes wrong
- That is your free page. Get 10 for $49, or keep every page current with Pro. Free builds one page. On the Pack: You have made your 10 Pack pages. Pro takes you to 70, Apple’s limit. On Pro monthly: You have made this month’s 15 new pages. with the date you get more. When your plan has room for fewer pages than you planned, Pages says so and offers Build with the number that fits; switch pages off on Intents to choose which. See Upgrade or change your plan.
- This page could not be built. Nothing was changed at Apple. Try again. Click Retry on the card. If one screenshot says This one could not be drawn, click Try again under it.
- A screenshot looks nothing like your app, or the words sit in the wrong place. Every screenshot is drawn from a screen your app already shows; nothing is invented. Click the flag Something looks wrong on it, or see A screenshot looks wrong.
- Something on this page would likely be rejected by App Review. See Checks, fix what is marked, and approve again. Under Checks, each failing line says what to change. A judgement you know is accurate can be overruled with This is accurate; a rule cannot.
