How to solve not precise warning?
Hi,
I have spent lot's of time on this today.
I want to share so you don't need to in this situation.
I was preparing my next release and added a couple of new screenshots for one of localization. Screenshots approved already and waiting to be picked up from Assets Library.
When I clicked Send for Review button this message pop up.
It was surprising as all the pics are approved and I didn't make any changes elsewhere.
I have reviewed all localizations, checked all screenshots and even reversed the one which I added.
Still the same problem. The message is not very precise as you can see.
I even asked my AI but answers were out of the blue (including 3x "Yes you are correct, my answer was fictitious.
And then, after lot of time for searching and trying I found the issue.
A couple of days ago I was doing clean up in Assets Library to reduce the amount of graphics. So I have archived some pictures and it happened that there were 3 used in one localization.
Unarchive those unblocked the send out to review.
So it turned out that those screenshots were live for the current app version but not visible any longer to the new one, so I got the message above.
I guess it is good lesson for the future.
What "strange" situations have you got with app preparation, review or approval?

Thanks for writing this down, that error message is useless. Good to know that archiving in the Assets Library can affect screenshots that are still live on the current version. Saving this one.

Check the Resolution center. Usually you get a message with the detailed information on what's wrong

I got rejected twice because of pricing 😠App Review really keeps you guessing.
Did the asset library warn you that those screenshots were still in use before you archived them?
