This is a known issue that will be investigated at some point in the future.

I am having the same problem. All was well a month or so ago, articles publishing automatically. Then, it stopped. I associated the problem with an update of this plugin in mid to late June. I have to manually find unpublished and then publish them. That works fine but it’s a pain.
The three questions in the settings are all yes.
Automatically publish to Apple News
Automatically update Apple News
Asynchronously publish to Apple News
I don’t see what the solution was from the previous post. Any suggestions?
Thanks
No update, other than that this is in our backlog of issues, as noted above.
I just realized that the auto posting stopped functioning when I added an editor to my team to post news. If I post to my site with my user ID, no problem. The posted news automatically flows into Apple news. If my editor posts, it doesn’t work.
Not sure why the plugin will work with one ID but not the other. It’s the same WP site.
Thanks for you help with this.
By default, the plugin only grants publish permissions to users with the manage_options capability.
You’ll need to make them a role that has that permission (like Adminstrator), or use the available filters to override the capability for publishing in your theme’s code.
The available filters are all pretty self-explanatory and currently default to manage_options:
apple_news_bulk_export_capability
apple_news_publish_capability
apple_news_list_capability
apple_news_delete_capability
apple_news_settings_capability
