The App Fix Ticket covers the first kind. - A rejection under Guideline 4.2, 4.3 or 3.1 can mean changing the product itself. That starts with a paid consultation to agree what to change - A typo, a wrong label or a one-line change where you can already point at the line: a low-priced gig or your own developer can fix it for less - Use the Diagnosis when the rejection points at the build and the cause is unknown [App Store and Google Play rejections: 13 fixes](https://app369.com/blog/app-store-google-play-rejections-fixes-2026/) [Guideline 4.2 Minimum Functionality: the fix](https://app369.com/fix/app-store-guideline-4-2-minimum-functionality/) [Guideline 4.3 Spam: the fix](https://app369.com/fix/app-store-guideline-4-3-spam/) [Paid consultation](https://app369.com/service/consultations/) ## How it works 1. 01 ### **Pay and send the rejection** Pay for the Diagnosis or, if you already know the cause, the Fix. Reply to the Stripe receipt with repo access, the rejection message from App Store Connect and the exact steps to reproduce the problem. 2. 02 ### **Reproduce and isolate** The bug is reproduced on the build and device class you name, then isolated to the app, the backend or the build tooling, using local emulators where they apply. Your production data is never touched. 3. 03 ### **Root cause and a fixed quote** The Diagnosis ends with the root cause, the evidence for it and a fixed repair quote. If you go ahead, the $450 is credited. 4. 04 ### **Fix as a pull request** The Fix arrives as a pull request with a regression test and handover notes. You review and merge it, then build and resubmit. Approval stays Apple’s decision. ## What a Diagnosis looks like: a Google Play example The findings table from a sample Diagnosis of an example Flutter shop app whose Play Store update won’t go through. It is the example built into the free Google Play deadline checker, run on October 23, 2026, so you can reproduce every line yourself. | **Finding** | **Evidence** | **Google’s date** | **What the fix changes** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Target API is 34, Google Play needs 36** | android/app/build.gradle: targetSdkVersion 34 | August 31, 2026 (extension to November 1, 2026) | targetSdk 36 and compileSdk at least 36, then test edge-to-edge, back gestures and tablets | | **Play Billing Library 7.0.0 is below 8** | android/app/build.gradle: billing-ktx:7.0.0 | August 31, 2026 (extension to November 1, 2026) | Billing Library 8 or later; going straight to 9 saves a second update before August 31, 2027 | | **Android Gradle Plugin 8.1.0 is below 8.5.1** | android/build.gradle: com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.1.0 | February 1, 2027 (16 KB page sizes) | AGP 8.5.1 or higher | | **NDK r26 needs linker flags** | android/app/build.gradle: ndkVersion "26.1.10909125" | February 1, 2027 (16 KB page sizes) | NDK r28 or higher, or the 16 KB linker flags | 1. **Target API is 34, Google Play needs 36**

Sample only: an example app, not a client’s project. A real Diagnosis also reproduces the problem on your build, names the root cause with its evidence, and ends with a fixed quote for the repair, with the $450 credited if you go ahead. [Run the same check on your Gradle files](https://app369.com/tools/google-play-deadline-checker/) ## Questions before you pay
Who can fix my app after Apple rejected the update?
App369’s App Fix Ticket. The Diagnosis is $450 in 3 business days and is credited toward the repair. The Fix is $1,200 in 5 business days, delivered as a pull request with a regression test. You pay one stated price before work starts, not an hourly rate.
Can you guarantee App Store approval?
No. Review decisions belong to Apple and Google. The Fix Ticket covers the code defect itself.
Should I reply to App Review or appeal?
Reply first. Apple says you can correspond with App Review in App Store Connect to resolve the issues before resubmitting, which is the place for a demo account, a screen recording or an explanation. Appeal to the App Review Board only if you believe App Review misunderstood the app or treated you unfairly.
Can I resubmit the same build?
If nothing in the binary was wrong, for example the demo account had expired, fix the account, explain it in your reply and resubmit. If the build crashed, upload a new build with the fix.
Is it only for Flutter apps?
No. The same App Fix Ticket covers apps built with Swift, Kotlin, React, Vue or Node.js, on Firebase or another backend. The price and delivery times are the same.
What access do you need?
Access to the repository (GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket), the rejection message from App Store Connect and the exact steps to reproduce the problem. Production keys are never asked for.
Do I need a call before I pay?
No. The scope, price and delivery time are on this page, and everything happens in writing. If you want to talk live, calls cost $100 per 15 minutes, paid upfront.
Who owns what you deliver?
You do. The code, videos and files delivered under this offer belong to you once paid.
