How to Complete Your Trader Status in App Store Connect

Why This Is Important

Due to a recent update from Apple, all clients must provide updated information regarding their Trader Status before publishing a new app. If this step is not completed, Apple will not allow us to publish your branded app.

You can check your Trader Status by looking for a red warning banner in App Store Connect. If you see this banner, action is required. If you do not see the banner, your Trader Status is likely already set up—but we strongly recommend double-checking to ensure everything is correct.

Steps to Complete Your Trader Status

1. Log in to App Store Connect

• Go to App Store Connect and log in with your Apple Developer credentials.

2. Navigate to the ‘Apps’ Tab

• Click on the Apps section to see an overview of your apps.

3. Look for the Red Warning Banner

• If your Trader Status is not properly configured, you will see a red warning banner at the top of the screen.

• Example: (Insert screenshot of the warning banner here)

4. Follow the Instructions in the Banner

• Click on the link in the warning banner.

• Complete the required steps as instructed by Apple.

5. Confirm the Update

• Once you have submitted your Trader Status information, please reply to our email so we can proceed with publishing your app.
