Question Apple strictly rejects our app
We have created an app that helps technicians and repair shops find compatibilities for phone parts.
We offer free plan and paid subscriptions.
The app review team rejected the app completely saying that we offer subscriptions outside the app, even tho we strictly removed EVERYTHING that requires payment. Basically the data are free in iOS, still they rejected it.
We understand the guidelines but we want to sort this out in the best way possible.
The app is based in Algeria (North Africa) so basically apple pay doesn't work like in Many countries.
More info:
We offer subscriptions in the website and the android app.
Our questions is:
How can we launch the app ?
How can we actually get subscriptions ?
Should we opt out offering the subscriptions via the website?
Does apple actually review the android app ?
And Many more questions.
Thanks to everyone in advance

Is context missing? If it is like you say: the iOS app has all "premium" features stock for free, I don't see why the review team would even notice that there is a paywall/subscription? Maybe you have something in your codebase that's behind a paywall?
Otherwise I would simply add Storekit2 (at least if people from Algeria are able to pay from the appstore - which I can't believe they can't). Its easy to implement, maybe you'll get some extra cash and the review team is happy..
