5.1.1

Earlier last week my app was rejected stating the reason that We noticed that your app requires users to register or log in to access features that are not account-based. I would like to know if can the app have a sign in with later/Continue as guest option to view non account related information like privacy policy, helpcenter and terms along with the product listing of the app.Will that functionality comply under the guidelines mentioned from your side earlier?

There was a notice in the App Store Guidelines that the account deletion function must be installed by January 31st of next year. However, I would like to know the following to reduce the risk of delaying release dates due to app rejection due to this issue. The standards in the guidelines are ambiguous, so we cannot be sure that our services meet those standards. I would like to know: A) Can the app delete function be provided on the web for mobile? (* Our service provides both in-app web view and mobile browser. ) B) When deleting an account, must all information be deleted? C) Is the name Account deletion important? We provide a function called Withdrawal of Membership, which provides the ability to deactivate account and separate information for a certain period of time and then remove it. There are cases where the customer restores the service. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello to all, I’m developing an app with expo.dev and I have a problem that I need help. I’m not using xcode but I’m publishing with eas cli, so I don’t generate the plist file. My app locates the device in real time to provide the weather situation at home and navigation route using google maps in a webview. Apple has rejected the app with this communication: One or more purpose strings in the app do not sufficiently explain the use of protected resources. Purpose strings must clearly and completely describe the app's use of data and, in most cases, provide an example of how the data will be used. (Below the screen) My app use location for show to home the weather icon and for use route navigation in google maps inside a webview. With expo I have add string in app.json but is not enough. Someone can helpme? This is a part of code ios: { supportsTablet: true, bundleIdentifier: com.ikawalieridiakashi.it, googleServicesFile: ./assets/GoogleService-Info.plist, infoPlist: { ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption: false, N

Hi all We have recently had an issue with using a single sign on login concept in a submission which was flagged under Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage and we are wondering what the development best practices were in this circumstance. The reason being was because if the user did not already have an account, we provided a button which then loaded the 3rd parties registration form in a web frame. However the system we are using requires the users address and phone number for various reasons, although our app does not use that data at all - therefore we were told we are breaking the guidelines. Our app is not collecting, or storing any of this information (or even has visibility to it), and it is all covered in both ours, and the third parties privacy policies, however it seems that we are still violating the clause. My question to other developers and Apple support - is how is this dealt with in other apps that use larger SSO systems such as iCloud, Google and Facebook?

Apple Support Message: We noticed that your app requires users to register or log in to access features that are not account-based. Next Steps To resolve this issue, please revise your app to let users freely access your app’s non account-based features. Reason why app need registration: The app is paid app but give free trail for month after that it asks the user to buy a subscription if the user wants to use the app further. I need user identifier (email asked on signup/login) to keep the track of user subscription. Besides, I also need user registration to save the article for future like if user bookmark the articles the record will be saved against his identifier (email) in the database. Any suggestion on how to approve my app?

Hello Forum Members I tried to upload my App the other day and it got rejected because I am offering highly regulated services or sensitive user data. Apple's solution for is that I must enroll as an organization and not as an Individual. As I am not able to do this yet, I tried to remove all sensitive user data, but as I resubmitted the App it got rejected again. So here is my question: Is there a workaround for this? Or can I look up what is considered highly regulated services and sensitive user data? I could not find anything... Thanks in Advance Mattis Rinke
