I have received a metadata rejection for my application requesting some clarification about my application
Information Needed
Your iTunes Connect settings indicate that your app serves third-party advertisements. However, we were unable to locate ads in your app.
Please reply to this message to provide the steps for locating third-party ads in your app. When we hear back from you, we will continue the review.

Additionally, we have begun the review of your app but aren't able to continue because we need additional information about your app.
At your earliest opportunity, please review the following question(s) and provide as much detailed information as you can. The more information you can provide upfront, the sooner we can complete your review.
1. What features in your app require use of background location?
While your iTunes Connect Application State is displayed as Metadata Rejected, it is not necessary to upload a new binary. Once you reply to this message in the Resolution Center, we can proceed with your review.
We have replied to the store in the Resolution center, but I am now confused if I should resubmit the application to review since the button is enabled, or should I only wait after my reply.
I spend few minutes trying to search for an answer but i am confused more now.for ex:

Apple site mention the following: Metadata items other than your build haven’t passed review. See Viewing Resolution Center Communications.
To resolve the issue, edit the metadata in iTunes Connect**(Seems that this not updated because i can't find where i should do it)**. When you’ve resolved the issue, submit the app for review again.
Could anyone who have faced a metadata rejection recently help me about this issue? or any expert help ?
I don't want to wait 7 days again for review.
Ok guys,
The answer was leaving it without submitting it again. I have received now a message from the store that they received the reply and will continue the review process of the app. The current status of my app is In Review.
Hope this will help others in case someone faced such issues in the future.
Regards,

I was successfully able to deploy Version 1.6 on AppStore.
But now, in version 1.7, they are showing me Invalid Binary error when I submit my app for review. My app is getting rejected but the reason for rejection is not being given by Apple.
Please let me know if you have faced a similar issue and please do guide me on how to solve it.
Please check the images I have attached for clarity.

Version History
There are two ways to solve this
First Way: Answer the Apple security question in app store, that why your application is using third party libraries. As these libraries gets user's data.
So you have to justify that why your application need to use third party libraries
Second Way: You can add privacy policy in login and registration screen. So that user be aware that his/her data might be shared on the app.
You can find some clues in your rejection message, please read it carefully.
In App Store Connect, there is a section where you enter privacy information. Some questions asked and you need to answer them according your app's usage of personal data. Please refer to links in your rejection message for more information.
My app was rejected by Apple. Please see the attached screenshot.
Can you suggest how I can resolve this?
We noticed an issue in your app that contributes to a lower quality user experience than Apple users expect. Specifically, the app does not use the in-app permissions alert and instead thats the user to Settings in order to allow permissions.
Next Steps
To resolve this issue, please revise your app to address all instances of this type of issue.
I'm trying to publish an iOS app that uses encryption on the AppStore. I've uploaded the ERN to iTunes Connect, and then got an e-mail from Apple stating:
Hello,
Thank you for submitting your App to the AppStore. The App is currently under “Export Compliance Review” due to missing information or additional clarification is needed.
Missing Information:
“App Description” is blank. Please provide the function of the app.
“Availability” is blank. Please provide the countries where the app will be distributed.
Regards,
Apple Export Compliance
I've updated those fields something like a week ago, but I'm not sure if I have to take any other step - re-submitting something, or whatever -, or if I just have to wait until Apple decides to re-review my app.
Any info on this?
Once you update/provide the information required by the reviewer, you need to reply to the reviewer's message in the resolution centre.
The reviewer will be intimated after your reply and it is when the review of your App will be resumed.
My app binary was rejected due to paragraph 2
2.2 - Apps that exhibit bugs will be rejected
The review team misunderstood how to use the app since it is location based. I explained more about how to test it and proposed another solution in the resolution center and i don't need to change anything in the binary.
Do i need to "Submit the app for review"? Or wait for the review team to respond first?
Edit: To be more specific what i am asking is: I send the extra info to the resolution center. Do i leave the submission as it is with app status rejected, or do i resend the same binary for review along with the info provided?
I would resubmit the same thing. Sometimes the reviewers don't take enough time to review. I've had a friend who has submitted the same exact thing twice. The First time it didn't go through, but with the second reviewer it did.
I've just received this notification from Apple:

Your iTunes Connect settings indicate that your app serves third-party
advertisements. However, we were unable to locate ads in your app.
Please reply to this message to provide the steps for locating

I dont know where I've made the error and where I have to correct it.
-> I just use Apple iAd. No other advertisements provider is present.
After this correction, do I need to "Submit for Review" again?
-> Im asking this, because I've red this page here: http://www.brynbodayle.com/an-easy-mistake-with-itunes-connect-metadata-rejections/ where it says I dont need to resubmit again.
But in the iTunes Connect Developer Guide there is something like this:
If your app has been rejected because of a metadata issue, you can
resolve the metadata issues and resubmit the same build for review.
If someone could help me how to deal with this, I would appreciate it! Thank you.
Your first message says that your app is using ads but the reviewer hasnt been able to found it on your app.
They tell you to just indicate where are the ads located.
All this is because Apple doesnt allow getting an AdvertisementID without showing ads (some people use it as unique-identifier).
Hope this helps.
If you are using just iAd from Apple, check the iAd code on your application. Probably you need to fix an issue on your iAd code.Make sure the iAd is not set to 0 on Alpha. You can use the simulator to test iAds.
After the rejection, your will receive an email with a link to the Resolution Center. (don't click on "Submit for Review" button).
Send a message to your reviewer using the Resolution Center and wait a few hours. Your app will be "In Review" soon. Also you can "Submit an Appeal to the Apple Review Team".
Remember, If you make changes to your code, you will need to upload a new binary code. Probably you will lose your queue position and start the review process again (7-10 days).
