  "account": "On September 5, the app Fingertips was released on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. A calendar is provided to illustrate the timeline, with the first submission on August 12. The app faced rejection on two guidelines: 2.3.7, 2.1(b), and 2.4.5 for macOS, and 2.1(b) for iOS. After appealing, the decision was upheld on August 27, leading to the removal of a feature from the Mac app. The iOS build was rejected on September 2, 21 days after submission, due to the inability to purchase in-app purchases. The issue was not within the purchase stack, but rather the user interface was not discoverable on the iPhone, which displayed a purchase button in a sidebar not accessible on the device. The fix for the iOS app was to display the purchase option prominently, while the Mac app removed the problematic feature entirely.",
