Failed Validation on Podcast Connect - How to solve?

 Hi there,

I've submitted my new podcast feed (1st episode) on Saturday and still can't seem to get it validated. I get the following error message: "Can’t submit your feed. Your feed was previously submitted."


Can you please help?


Thanks a lot.

The feed seems to be OK. The only thing is that you haven't chosen a sub-category for your catetory 'Health & Fitness' - this wouldn't get you rejected but one will be chosen for you which may not be the one you want. You should choose one from the official list:

You posted that your feed has already been submitted. However Podcasts Connect is now saying it's 'Prepared for submission' meaning it's technically OK so I don't know what's been going on. It looks as if you can go ahead and submit it. If you've already submitted it and had the email accepting this, it's just a question of waiting.

Hi Roger,


In the meantime I tried a tip from Buzzsprout to resubmit my feed which seemed okay and was submitted for review.

But now I still get the same error message :(

Buzzsprout recommended to change title and description so that it would be considered as a duplicate RSS feed but now the result is still the same... Failed validation...

This is very frustrating and making me not want to have my podcast on Apple anymore...
