Reply to Regarding account deletion feature in our app

If you can create an account in the app, you need to be able to delete an account from the app too. Starting June 30, 2022, apps submitted to the App Store that support account creation must also let users initiate deletion of their account within the app. - from Offering account deletion in your app. The App Store Review Guidelines also state this is required in section 5.1.1(v), under Privacy > Data Collection and Storage > Account Sign-In. If your app supports account creation, you must also offer account deletion within the app.

Reply to Query about "Sign in with Apple" and Handling "Hide My Email" Option

Hi somprabhsharma, Please review the App Store Review Guidelines for the requirements of Legal, Data Collection and Storage, and Sign in with Apple—under 5.1.1(v, ix). You may need to seek legal counsel to determine the appropriate next steps for your app based on the regulations and the compliance in your region. Note: App Store Review does not pre-approve, nor pre-review app submissions, so your developer team and/or counsel will need to submit a production-ready app for review as specified in the guidelines above. Cheers, Paris

Reply to How can I make my app compatible with older ios versions?

You can still use iOS 7.x as a deployment target in the store, but not w/current tools (Xcode 8.3.2). I'd wonder about doing so, however, as number of users on an iOS that far back is in low single digits.Note that according to iTunes Connect, minimum now for the store is Xcode 6, which supports iOS 4.3 or iOS 5.1.1 minimum deployment, so to reach your goal of supporting older iOSs, you'd need to use older Xcode - restrictions apply, mainly not being able to also support newer iOSs, so...

Reply to Custom business trading app, possible rejection ?

will Apple accept such features Look also at guidelines 5.1.1 (ix) Apps that provide services in highly-regulated fields (such as banking and financial services, healthcare, gambling, legal cannabis use, and air travel) or that require sensitive user information should be submitted by a legal entity that provides the services, and not by an individual developer. Apps that facilitate the legal sale of cannabis must be geo-restricted to the corresponding legal jurisdiction. . will Apple’s commission of 30% apply on purchases or transfers I guess so (or 15% for small businesses in North America)

Need help resolving Apple App Store rejection: Guidelines 3.2, 4.8, 5.1.1 issues for enterprise-privilege login app

Hi everyone, I’m working on the JOOD Mobile App, which is an employee/partner-privileged app (not public) for Qatar Foundation (QF) and its partner entities. The app uses corporate domain login / Microsoft login, no public sign up. Apple Review rejected the app, pointing out violations under: Guideline 3.2 – Business — App intended for use by a specific organization(s), but distribution selected as public. Guideline 4.0 / 4.8 – Design / Login Services — The user is forced to leave the app to log in via default browser; no in-app flow or “Safari View Controller” type embedded browsing. Also, uses third-party login, but doesn’t offer an equivalent login option that limits data collection to just name + email, allows email privacy, etc. Guideline 5.1.1(v) – Data Collection and Storage — App allows account creation but there is no user-initiated delete account option. I want to fix these rejections and resubmit. Below are the questions / ideas I have, and I would really appreciate feedback / suggestions

Reply to Personal Data Permissions

> Does anyone know if this permission (a permission asking the user whether or not they consent to their personal data being collected) is required if we decide to store the data locally instead of uploading it to our servers? We don't want to scare users with a messag, especially since we're collecting data that is not really even that personal.You certainly need permission to 'transmit' personal data. You also need permission to 'collect' personal data according to 5.1.1 ii. If the message to the user indicates what data being collected is not really even that 'personal' it may not scare the user.

Reply to XCode 4.5.2 & ios 8 compatibility

If you add your device UDIDs to the provisioning profile, your apps should run on your own devices. (Providing you deploy apps ad hoc - old Xcode won't recognize new iOS devices, so you won't be able to install or debug directly from Xcode). But you cannot submit to the store unless you use recent Xcode versions. The minimum requirement for app store submission may still be at Xcode 5.1.1 / iOS 7 SDK for now but will be changing to Xcode 6 / iOS 8 SDK any day now if it's not already.

Reply to "object file was built for newer iOS version"

Somebody on stackoverflow had this to say:It is an Xcode 7.0 and 7.1 issue when linking to patch versions of iOS. When using -miphoneos-version-min=5.1.1 with linker, it will only respect major+minor parts (5.1) of the version.And another person on the same thread said: This appears to be a known bug in Xcode 7.0 and 7.1B1 (bug #21813082). (He provided no actual link to the bug report, however.)The problem still appears in Xcode 7.2. It seems that Apple doesn't feel like this is a high-priority issue. It's extremely annoying, though.

Reply to Apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with Xcode 5.1.1 or later, and iOS 7 SDK.

I tried to submit app build in XCode 7.0 two weeks ago, and saw similar error. Now i'm submitted app built in XCode 6.4, and submitted by https://github.com/nomad/shenzhen (because XCode 6.4 crashes during submission on 10.11 beta 5) it's approved for beta testing, but I can't send it to apple review with error mentioned earlier: Apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with Xcode 5.1.1 or later, and iOS 7 SDK.Seems like itunes connect bug for me.

Reply to Is restore functionality needed if subscription is managed across multiple apps?

>all they need to do is install the app and log in.......What is the point of restoring anything?I believe all you need do is indicate in a note to App Review that you handle 'restore' through log in to your server. There is no need to do anything else.But......this means that the user is required to log into your server to 'use' the IAP. Therefore you will need to explain why you are also satisfying: 5.1.1 (v) Account Sign-In: If your app doesn’t include significant account-based features, let people use it without a log-in. Apps may not require users to enter personal information to function, except when directly relevant to the core functionality of the app.....

Reply to Unable to Send Emails to Private Relay Service

Instead of certifying a domain - can we certify specific email addressed ? The setting does not seem to work for that.We are using a DNS setting to send emails from Mailgun that appear as mg.pettingclub.com . However we cannot load the txt signature file to that domain because obviously the mail server is at Mailgun.So we tried instead to set the Individual Email Addresses settings, but any address we added to it - does not seem to work. Not info@pettingclub.com , nor any gmail address we tried. For example:550 5.1.1 Relay not allowed for <xxxxxxxxxx@privaterelay.appleid.com> from domain: <gmail.com>Is there a problem with setting up individual email addresses?

Reply to Cannot run kext built on 10.11

According to Apple one must build kernel extensions against the SDK for the lowest OS version they are to support. See WWDC 2013 session 707 What's New in Kext Development. In your case this would be the 10.8 SDK. You were just lucky that the kext built with Xcode 5.1.1 and the 10.9 SDK worked on 10.8. The trick with setting the deployment target to a version lower than the SDK only works for userspace code. This makes things difficult for kernel developers that need to support older OS version since we are forced to use old Xcode versions, on old OS's, on old hardware, for developement.

Reply to Unable to Send Emails to Private Relay Service

Are you able to specify what aspect of third-party mail services prevents their use? We have DKIM and SPF set up for our whitelisted SIWA domain, but don't have a reverse DNS record set up for the IP we're using (a dedicated IP used primarily with a different domain), and are getting 550 5.1.1 bad mailbox name responses. It seems like a third-party mail service with a dedicated IP and rDNS would be indistinguishable - from privaterelay.appleid.com's point of view - from running our own MTA.We can certainly set up rDNS if that's a requirement, but otherwise this is a pretty big blocking restriction for SIWA.

Reply to Configured Apple Sign Relay but not receiving emails

Hi @robevans, Please see the following documentation for more information: Configuring your environment for Sign in with Apple https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple/configuring_your_environment_for_sign_in_with_apple#3743946 For Sign in with Apple, the Private Email Relay Service is used to communicate to the private email addresses that users opt-in to providing your apps. As long as your email sources and domains are properly registered and their SPF and/or DKIM authentications are validated, there should be no message delivery issues. However, If there are configuration errors, you will receive a bounce back with a 550 5.1.1 Relay not allowed for or similar. Cheers, Paris X Pinkney |  WWDR | DTS Engineer
