I'm seeing the following error in iTunes Connect in the in-app purchase section for my app:

An In-App Purchase has been returned and is highlighted in the table below

All of the in-app purchases for a new app have been rejected. They all show a status of Developer Action Needed. Going to each individual in-app purchase shows an exclamation sign with:

Your In-App Purchase has been returned. You must modify or delete the highlighted item.

However, it there's no explanation at all of what the error is. This seems to be a problem a lot of developers have just started seeing:

Any ideas what's causing this? Is it just another iTunes Connect bug?

I had the same problem, following is the screenshot of how my in-app purchase's details page did show a yellow highlighted portion: in-app purchase details

What I did is: added another language.. then deleted the previous rejected language, then added the previously rejected-then-deleted language and then deleted the second added language. :-) And it worked!
